A Film by Garry Rigby.....In Postproduction
Paris 1968. Armand Barbault’s Government funded laboratory is closed down when he enrages the scientific fraternity with the publication of his Alchemic text - “The Gold of a thousand mornings” (“L'or du Milieme Matin”). Barbault has crossed the barrier between science and magic as if it did not exist, and is hounded like a latter day Dr Frankenstein.
Dr. Saul Herzog: “He met a woman, Eedy, his second wife - the role of the woman in Alchemy is traditional and fundamental - we were, we are a community, a brotherhood – Eedy was our Trojan Horse. For Armand?…… the philosopher’s stone, the culmination of a life’s work……Qui non intellegit, aut taceat, aut discat”* [laughs].
Armand Barbault: “Who is to say where magic ends and science begins? There is a multiplicity of meaning, everything is real, everything is contrived.”
