| Cleopatra |
Fulfilling Tezuka's desire to openly eroticise his characterisation of the famous Egyptian queen,
Cleopatra is a riotous romp, in many senses of the word.
Tezuka has tackled numerous classical and Europeans archetypes and narratives, but rather than putting them through the Joseph Campbell grinder, he re-invents legend and lore with refreshing irreverence.
Adorned with beautiful detailing that echoes the manga page and its hyper-graphic sensibility,
Cleopatra is a heady historical brew of passion and pathos.
Australian premiere!
