Simone Signoret Double Feature:
|
|
DIABOLIQUE, 1955, Janus Films, 110 min.
Dir. Henri-Georges Clouzot.
One of the greatest psychological thrillers ever made, DIABOLIQUE
focuses on the browbeaten wife (Vera Clouzot) of a brutal schoolmaster
and his tough-as-nails mistress (Simone Signoret), as they
team up to murder their mutual tormentor.
But that’s only the beginning of this edge-of-your-seat affair,
a twisting, turning shocker that still holds up today as one of
the all-time classics of suspense. Legend has it that Clouzot beat
Hitchcock to the punch by only an hour in sewing up rights to the
original novel by Pierre Boileau. With sardonic Charles Vanel as
the poker-faced inspector.
CASQUE D’OR, 1952, Janus Films, 96 min. Dir.
Jacques Becker.
Do not miss this sublime masterpiece of romantic French cinema –
simultaneously a heartbreaking adult fairy tale and an impressionist
rendering of the turn-of-the-century Parisian underworld.
The fleeting moments of shared love and erotic passion between Serge
Reggiani and Simone Signoret are genuine poetry –
moments cut short by the jealous machinations of others.

Rohmer Double Feature
|
|
MY NIGHT AT MAUD’S (MA NUIT CHEZ MAUD),
1969, Wellspring, 105 min.
The third of writer/director Eric Rohmer’s six "moralist
tales," this deeply insightful examination of male and female
relationships caused an overnight sensation.
Winner of Cannes’ Golden Palm, and nominated for an Oscar,
the film remains one of the most successful attempts to unravel
the complex human psyche as narrator Jean-Louis Trintignant
vows to marry, only to fall-in-fascination with another woman, divorcee
Maud, (Françoise Fabian). With cinematography by Nestor
Almendros.
CLAIRE’S KNEE (LE GENOU DE CLAIRE), 1970,
Wellspring, 105 min. Dir. Eric Rohmer.
While vacationing, Jean Claude Brialy becomes obsessed with
a desire to have tactile contact with a certain body part of 13-year-old
Laurence de Monaghan. In this, the author’s fourth installment
of psychological realism, members of the opposite sex, here in the
form of two young sisters, Claire, the physical, and Beatrice Romand,
the intellectual, again impinge on an impending marriage; handled
here as a complex comedy of manners.

Melville Double Feature:
|
|
Director's Cut LE CERCLE ROUGE, 1970, Rialto
Pictures, 140 min. Director Jean-Pierre Melville’s masterpiece
of Gallic gangsterism starring Alain Delon and Yves Montand.
Impassive faces, snap-brim hats, dangling cigarettes, sunglasses
after dark, raincoats without rain, nightclub floor shows...
All join forces for a meticulously orchestrated heist of a Place
Vendôme bijouterie, a silent tour-de-force in the grand movie
tradition of RIFIFI, TOPKAPI, and THE ASPHALT JUNGLE.
LE DOULOS, 1962, Rialto Pictures, 108 min.
Director Melville met Jean-Paul Belmondo during a brief cameo
in Godard's BREATHLESS -- here, he gives Belmondo one of his best
roles, that of a two-faced informer caught between the police and
his "old pal," played by doom-faced Serge Reggiani.
"It was only when LE DOULOS was finished and Belmondo saw himself
on the screen that he realized, with great astonishment, ‘Christ!
The stoolie is me!’ " -- Melville.

Brigitte Bardot Double Feature:
|
|
...AND GOD CREATED WOMAN (ET DIEU...CRÉA LA
FEMME), 1956, TF1, 95 min.
French director Roger Vadim’s audaciously sexy feature
film debut not only puts him on the map here in America, but the
saucy young starlet Brigitte Bardot as well. Bardot is Juliette,
an earthy ne’er-do-well involved with two brothers (Jean-Louis
Trintignant, Christian Marquand) and, for good measure, older
Curt Jurgens, something that causes escalating dissension and chaos.
THE TRUTH (LA VERITÉ), 1960, Columbia, 130
min. Dir. Henri-Georges Clouzot.
Bardot stars as Dominique, a hedonistic free-spirit on trial for
the murder of her lover, musician Sami Frey. Once again Clouzot
breaks ground in his fearless look at private insecurities, revealing
what supposedly constitutes a ‘sordid’ lifestyle, and
why it is so threatening to bourgeois society. Co-written by Clouzot
and his wife Vera (star of DIABOLIQUE.) Winner of the 1961 Golden
Globe for Best Foreign Film.

Being Jewish in France (Comme un Juif en France)
Documentary Premiere
2007/b&w and color/185 min./digital | Scr/dir: Yves Jeuland.
Yves Jeuland's sweeping new documentary explores the rich
and complex history of Jews in France, the first country to grant them
citizenship.
Beginning with Revolutionary cries of "Vive la France" in Yiddish,
the film explores the explosive Dreyfus Affair, the Vichy government's
collaboration with the Nazis, and the absorption of Sephardic Jews from
Arab countries in the decades after WWII.
With interviews with more than a dozen leading French politicians, intellectuals,
and artists—amid a treasure trove of archival material—Being
Jewish in France masterfully interweaves human testimony and historical
evidence.
Narrated by Mathieu Almaric, a regular in Arnaud Desplechin's films and
the star of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, the film won the Jewish
Experience Award at the Jerusalem International Film Festival.

Godard Double Feature:
|
|
BREATHLESS (A BOUT DE SOUFFLE), 1960, New Yorker
Films, 90 min. Dir. Jean-Luc Godard.
Lip-stroking pug Jean-Paul Belmondo on the run, shooting cops and
stealing cars – and cash from the handbag of Herald Tribune-hawking
girlfriend Jean Seberg; with the couple engaging in boudoir
philosophy, staring contests, sous-blanket tussles and plenty of
smoking. The start of Godard’s decade of supreme hipness and
seemingly compulsive, often outrageous innovation. "No film
has been at once so connected to all that had come before it and
yet so liberating... like high-energy fusion of jazz and philosophy."
– Richard Brody, The New Yorker.
ALPHAVILLE (ALPHAVILLE, UNE ETRANGE AVENTURE DE LEMMY
CAUTION), 1965, Janus Films, 99 min.
Jean-Luc Godard’s trip into the future with erstwhile B-movie
hero Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine) trekking through space
to track down Professor von Braun, aided by the prof’s daughter
Anna Karina, squaring off in a final showdown with the Alpha 60
computer.

from her work in street art, frescos, theatre sets, and live dance portraiture.
Valerie's work has been exhibited in galleries in France, Germany and
the U.K.

From Baroque to Folk: Pastoral Music from France
Performer : Distorted Pearl
French painting and music have been inspired by
pastoral sensibilities, especially in the Baroque era.
The French Baroque courts of Louis XIV and Louis XV refined rustic folk
instruments like the bagpipe and hurdy-gurdy into the ornate musette de
cour and vielle à roue, musical representations of the Arcadian
philosophy.
Distorted Pearl presents a program of French Baroque duets written
specifically for these instruments, as well as transcriptions of other
Baroque hits and French folk music of the last two centuries, played on
original period instruments and facsimiles.
This concert is held in the garden.

•Léon
Morin, Priest (Léon Morin, prêtre)
Theatrical Release
1961/b&w/115 min. | Scr/dir: Jean-Pierre Melville; w/ Jean-Paul Belmondo,
Emmanuelle Riva.
During the Occupation in a provincial French village, Communist
widow Riva becomes enthralled by serenely devout Belmondo, fresh off Breathless
and switching gears from hardboiled gangster to enigmatic man of the cloth.
Under the taut direction of noir master (and Jewish atheist) Jean-Pierre
Melville and based on an autobiographical novel by Beatrice Beck, the
platonic encounters and intellectual jousts of this unlikely couple are
at once erotic and cerebral.
This reissue of a film rarely seen on the big screen may help to secure
its place in the canon of transcendental cinema.

•Jessica Fichot (Saturday only)
Chanteuse and songwriter Jessica Fichot
is a lot like her hometown of Paris: French at heart, but with a soul
that's truly international. Her multi-ethnic French / Chinese / American
upbringing colors the songs on her debut album. It's called Le Chemin,
"The Path," and for good reason: Jessica takes the listener
on a twisting journey out of the French chanson tradition, into the
lands of gypsy jazz, Chinese and Latin American folk music, through
the classic American repertoire, and off into the wilderness of her
imagination. |

•The
Bear (l'Ours) de Jean-Jacques Annaud (1988)
(w/ live score by No Age)
|
|
L.A.-based, world-renowned experimental noise
pop duo No Age will appear live at the Cinefamily to perform their
brand-new score for French director Jean-Jacques Annaud's majestic
1988 film The Bear, a near-wordless cinematic expedition deep into
the savagery and tenderness of the animal kingdom.
Told from the titular species' point of view, The Bear chronicles
the journey of an orphan bear cub and a lone adult bear banding together
to avoid two human hunters.
Along the way, director Annaud has great fun with the storytelling
possibilities from a non-human perspective, including dream sequences
and an unforgettable psychedelic mushroom bear trip! |
With nearly no (human) dialogue, the film easily
lends itself to live scoring, and No Age drummer Dean Spunt and guitarist
Randy Randall have crafted a shimmering 90-minute set of sonic blasts
and delicate textures that perfectly complement the peculiar, touching
and altogether unique experience that is The Bear.
