An experimental film based on the poet Sylvia Plath
Fifty years after the death of Sylvia Plath, we present Lady Lazarus, a film made by Sandra Lahire in 1991 using footage of the poet reading her own work as well as an interview she gave in 1962. With excerpts from poems recorded in 1957 and 1958 including Ouija, Cut, Daddy, Lady Lazarus and Ariel, Lahire's 24-minute film creates a dreamlike series of images that evoke the elemental world of Plath's poetry.
