Based on a story by Out of Africa's Karen Blixen, and set in the Portuguese colony of Macao in the 19th century, Une Histoire Immortelle or The Immortal Story was Orson Welles' first film in colour. Starring Jeanne Moreau and set solely to the haunting music of Erik Satie, it is, like much of Welles' cinema, an exploration of myth, identity and the degree to which we determine our own fate.Welles plays Mr Clay, a rich old merchant who insists that his Polish clerk, Levinsky, read to him from the company's account ledger every night before bed. When he can't sleep one evening, Mr Clay begins to recount a story about a sailor who is paid to sleep with the wife of a wealthy older man, a story he insists is true. When Levinsky tells Clay the story is in fact a well-known urban legend, Clay becomes obsessed with re-creating the tale; an endeavour which, inevitably, turns upon him.
