EYES DO NOT WANT TO CLOSE AT ALL TIMES

Straub and Huillet’s first film shot in Italy, amidst the ruins of Rome’s Palatine Hill with a toga-clad cast, adapts Pierre Corneille’s Othon, a 1664 drama describing the machinations and scheming that followed the death of Emperor Nero, as pretenders to the throne angle to fill the sudden power vacuum.
