Heraclitus the Dark (1967)
Deval shot “Héraclite l’obscur” in Tunisia in 1967, with his then-girlfriend and editor Jackie Raynal, in 35 mm and in color. He was the first Zanzibar member to shoot a film not only outside of Paris but also in an exotic location. “Héraclite l’obscur” is described by its author as a “philosophical peplum”. – spectacle theater
