Prometheus

Synopsis

Modern-day setting of the legend of Prometheus who stole fire from the gods. Michael Feast plays Hermes, the messenger of the gods, as a 'narrator' figure. The first third of the film is set in the Yorkshire mining community with modern dialogue. The remainder of the film goes into rhyming verse. The second part of the film is the journey through Europe with a 20 foot high gold-leafed statue, symbolically representing the mining community, and the last third is set in Greece, where the miners are released from the statue.
