Le Radeau de la Méduse (English: The Raft of the Medusa) is a French film by Iranian film director Iradj Azimi. It is based on the 1816 wreck of the French frigate Méduse, and the 1819 painting Le Radeau de la Méduse by Jean-Louis André Théodore Géricault which depicts the event.[1] Filming began in 1987, but was interrupted by Hurricane Hugo in September 1989, which delayed completion of the film until the following year.[2] Distribution of film then languished for several years, until Azimi cut his wrist in front of officials of the French Ministry of Culture.[3]
