The Immortal Story (1968)


IMDb plot summary: In Macao, a wealthy merchant named Charles Clay hires two people to recreate a story of a sailor who is paid to impregnate a man's wife.
Directed by Orson Welles. Starring Jeanne Moreau, Orson Welles, Roger Coggio, and Norman Eshley.

Well, this did absolutely nothing for me. It's one of those little fairy tale/fables that has such broadly drawn characters and plotlines that it just feels unfinished to me rather than universal, and I really don't know what it was attempting to say about life or romance or money or art or, well, anything. At least it was short.

How it entered my Flickchart:
The Immortal Story < Killing Season
The Immortal Story < Send Me No Flowers
The Immortal Story > The Good Doctor
The Immortal Story < When I Walk
The Immortal Story < In the Heat of the Night
The Immortal Story > Jezebel
The Immortal Story < Sahara (2005)
The Immortal Story > The Yellow Handkerchief
The Immortal Story < Junior
The Immortal Story > Medium Cool
The Immortal Story > VeggieTales: The Star of Christmas
The Immortal Story > The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
Final spot: #2682 out of 3142.
