An internationally renowned director who is from Vaucluse! He has the nurses farm in Oppède in the Luberon, which is also a wine estate, and he is currently exhibiting some of the unpublished drawings at the Isle sur la Sorgue cinema Ciné sur la Sorgue. We discover there personal drawings of the directorstoryboards from cult films like Alien or Gladiator or even photos taken on set.
“It’s a great honor”
Léa is responsible for the Isle-sur-la-Sorgue cinema. She is very honored and happy that Ridley Scott has agreed to lend her works to her cinema. To get in touch with him, they contacted his team who work at Mas des Infermières. “It’s truly a great honor. I’m a big movie buff, I did comedy for a long time, I love cinema and obviously, Ridley Scott is someone who makes you dream and who is relatively inaccessible, so It seemed improbable to me that he would accept. Especially since the great luck we have is that the works exhibited are new, they have never been shown anywhere else.”
Drawings, photographs, storyboards…
To discover in this exhibition: posters of the director’s films such as Alien, Gladiator, Thelma and Louise or even Napoléon, but also several storyboards. “The storyboards are drawings, it’s like a little comic book of images from the film. The director specifies his stage or dialogue intentions, for example.“, explains Léa.
Everything is hand-drawn by Ridley Scott himself and on the day of the inauguration in mid-October, Léa and her colleagues were able to discuss these works directly with him, he came to the cinema for the occasion. “It was frankly unbelievable.“, remembers Léa.
The exhibition is free, it is located on the 1st floor of the cinema located 3 rue de la République in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. You have until November 30 to take advantage of it. More than 1,500 people have already come to visit it.
