Queen of Atlantis
Synopsis
Two young officers, Saint-Avit and Morhange, get lost in the desert and find themselves prisoners of the beautiful AntinĂ©a, queen of the city of Atlantis. Saint-Avit, blinded by his love for her, obeys her when she orders him to kill his comrade... With LâAtlantide, Pabst offers a psychoanalytic reading of Benoitâs novel, with a dominant female figure who enslaves her lovers before destroying them. The filmâs fantasy dimension is disturbing, LâAtlantide bathes in a humid nightmare atmosphere, between the desperate search for a missing friend and the apparitions of an underworld lost in the desert. A long, discursive flashback suggests the Parisian origins of AntinĂ©a, born from the marriage between ClĂ©mentine, a pretty, light-thighed French Cancan dancer, and an Arab prince seduced during a theatrical performance. But again, it's impossible to know whether these are the ramblings of an old alcoholic or the strange truth.
