•Lucien
Clergue – The Intimate Picasso
6 pm to 9 pm
Opening Reception of the exhibit
 Lucien
Clergue’s photographs of Picasso are social documents as much as
they are portraits, reflecting a very particular time, place and sensibility
in Twentieth Century history.
They also reveal the nature of a friendship between artists: an unwavering
respect and affection betwixt the photographer artist and his subject,
the most influential artist of the twentieth century. For all of the images
conjured by the name Picasso, it is rare to see him presented as Lucien
Clergue captures him: human, generous and humane.
These candid, curious shots of Picasso going about the
business of being alive are definitely created by a poet. (Very early
on in
Lucien’s career, Jean Cocteau, one of his first employers and, along
with Picasso, devoted mentors, correctly labeled him a “poet with
a camera.) After viewing this collection of images, it seems only appropriate
that such a “poet” should be one of the few allowed to take
pictures of such an artist.
Born in Arles, Southern France, Lucien Clergue is
an internationally renowned photographer whose work is included in numerous
public and private collections.
A hardbound 104-page catalogue accompanies this exhibition.

•A
Weekend with FRANÇOIS TRUFFAUT
Double Feature: New 35mm Print!
Jules et Jim (Jules andt Jim)
1962, Janus Films, 105 min. Dir. François Truffaut.
In one of the greatest films of the French New Wave, Truffaut elevates
the materials of old-fashioned melodrama into high art: Two friends are
forced to fight on different sides during World War I and fall in love
with the same woman during peacetime. The film follows the shifting relationships
and affections among the three characters over the course of many years,
creating a powerful emotional experience that is both intimate and epic.
With Jeanne Moreau, Oskar Werner.
Les Deux Anglaises et le Continent (Two English Girls)
1971, Janus Films, 108 min. Dir. François Truffaut.
In a sort of reverse-gender JULES AND JIM, a young writer (perennial Truffaut
surrogate Jean-Pierre Léaud) finds himself in a long-term
affair with two sisters.
Truffaut returns to his earlier film’s themes with an older, more
melancholy eye; youthful enthusiasm has given way to mature resignation,
and the sophistication of Truffaut’s ideas is matched by his most
visually stunning images (courtesy of legendary cinematographer Nestor
Almendros).

•A
Weekend with FRANÇOIS TRUFFAUT
Double Feature: New 35mm Print!
Les Quatre Cents Coups (The 400 Blows)
Janus Films. Dir. François Truffaut.
Jean-Pierre Léaud plays a young boy struggling against the
constrictions of bourgeois conformity in this deeply personal masterpiece.
Both a coming-of-age classic and the greatest feature debut since Welles’
CITIZEN KANE 18 years earlier, this, along with Godard’s BREATHLESS,
is one of the films that announced the arrival of the French New Wave
to an international cinema audience.
Antoine and Colette
1962, Janus Films, 32 min. Dir. François Truffaut.
In this second appearance of Truffaut’s alter ego, Antoine Doinel,
Antoine (Jean-Pierre Léaud) is now a teenager on the verge
of his first love affair -- an affair that will begin his lifetime of
restless searching for romance.
Originally part of the omnibus film L'Amour à Vingt Ans (Love at
Twenty), this short more than stands on its own and serves as an essential
chapter in the Doinel saga.
Baisers Volés (Stolen Kisses)
1968, Janus Films, 90 min. Dir. François Truffaut.
In the third Antoine Doinel film, Antoine (Jean-Pierre Léaud)
returns to Paris after a dishonorable discharge from the army. There,
he finds himself trying a series of ridiculous jobs (including private
detective) as he falls hopelessly in love. Lyrical and nostalgic, this
is one of Truffaut’s most romantic films, which is really saying
something. With Delphine Seyrig.

•A
Weekend with FRANÇOIS TRUFFAUT
Double Feature: New 35mm Print!
Tirez sur le Pianiste (Shoot the Piano Player)
1960, Janus Films, 92 min.
Director François Truffaut once said that every filmmaker’s
first movie is a mad rush of ideas, while every second movie is an exercise
in style. This, his own second movie, is both: a stylistic tour de force
filled with innovative visual ideas, but also a longing, bittersweet character
study of uncommon depth and resonance.
Charles Aznavour is a washed-up concert pianist unable to return
to his former glory due to connections with gangsters and other nefarious
types; Marie Dubois is the woman who loves him. A long confession scene
is Truffaut’s tribute to Ingrid Bergman’s 10 minute confession
in Hitchcock’s UNDER CAPRICORN. Adapted from the great novel Down
There by David Goodis (who also wrote DARK PASSAGE).
Le Dernier Métro (The Last Metro)
1980, Janus Films, 131 min. Dir. François Truffaut.
During the German occupation of Paris, a theater company struggles to
produce a new play while its director is forced to hide in the basement,
leaving his wife (Catherine Deneuve) to carry on an affair with
the new leading man (Gerard Depardieu). This meditation on the
ultimate powerlessness of the artist is surprisingly charming given its
heavy subject matter, and Deneuve is as elegant and compelling as ever.

•Vivement
Dimanche ! (Confidentially Yours)
Kevin Thomas' Favorite
1983, Janus Films, 110 min.
In François Truffaut’s delightfully entertaining tribute to
Hitchcock, a businessman (Jean-Louis Trintingnant) is wrongly accused
of murder, and while he goes on the lam his secretary (Fanny Ardant)
tries to find the real killer.
Gorgeous black-and-white photography by Nestor Almendros and a witty screenplay
(by Truffaut and frequent collaborators Suzanne Schiffman and Jean Aurel,
adapting hardboiled American writer Charles Williams’ The Long Saturday
Night) make this one of the director’s most enjoyable efforts.
Film critic Kevin Thomas will introduce the screening.
