TOUR
7:30 pm When single, working mother Devos discovers her father is gravely ill, she receives little support from her ex-boyfriend, a capricious, tax-dodging violinist (Cesar-winner Amalric) recently committed to a mental health institution where he improvises hip-hop choreography and verbally spars with his drug-addled lawyer and placid hospital supervisor Deneuve. Desplechin's outsized tragicomedy sticks to the director's self-imposed maxim (borrowed from Truffaut): every minute, four ideas. In person: Arnaud Desplechin LACMA

Arclight Hollywood CINEMA Desplechin's first feature-length film has elements of a geo-political espionage thriller—duplicitous diplomats, forensic investigations, terse customs officers—while also delivering the director's stock in trade: the messy metamorphosis of an unstable protagonist (Cesar-winner Salinger) as he's initiated into an unreliable community (the young elite of Paris).

CINEMA Phoenix stars as a sullen 19–year–old who improbably rises from her immigrant family's sweatshop to play the lead in Hedda Gabler in this mesmerizing period drama that confounds expectations at every turn. Modeled on Truffaut's The Wild Child, Desplechin's sole English-language film explores the inherent artifice of acting. Crowned film of year by Cahiers du cinema and based on a short story by Symbolist scholar Arthur Symons. LACMA ................................................................ 6

pm Desplechin brings it all back home. Set in the director's
native Roubaix on France's Belgian border (also the subject of his first
documentary, 2007's award-winning L'Aimée ), his latest film centers
on the boisterous Vuillard family as they convene for the eponymous holiday
for the first time in years. LACMA
CINEMA 7:30
pm •TRANS-EUROP
EXPRESS Robbe-Grillet's most accessible film combines realism
and fantasy with uncharacteristic humor. Robbe-Grillet himself plays a
writer-director who constructs a narrative involving a drug smuggler (Trintingnant)
aboard a trans-continental train. Full of mirror images, distortions of
reality, duplications and titillating scenes featuring nude women in chains,
the film makes no pretense of having a conventional narrative. Rather,
the plot invents itself as it proceeds, creating (and ignoring) problems,
inconsistencies and downright impossibilities. Tickets: $10 ................................................................ 8

CINEMA 7:00 pm Though ostensibly both a mystery and a love triangle,
Renais' realization of Robbe-Grillet's script rejects Hollywood's vocabulary
in its investigation of memory and perception within a palatial hotel
in Marienbad. Often freezing the characters in tableau-like positions,
Sacha Vierny's fluid camera defines three-dimensional space by gliding
around the characters and through the rooms of the hotel, focusing as
much on the ornate architectural details as the characters themselves.
Like a Cubist painting, no one point of view can be determined, no linear
narrative determined, creating a sense that all events are taking place
in shared memory. Tickets: $10 ................................................................ 10

CINEMA •L'EDEN
ET APRES (Eden and After) Robbe-Grillet's first film in color is an erotic and labyrinthine
tale of murder and vampirism set somewhere between the fictitious landscapes
of the Marquis de Sade and Lewis Carroll. In Café Eden, a group
of bored students who engage in a series of baroque parlor games are visited
by a mysterious stranger whose presence evokes new menacing fantasies.
In L'Eden Et Apres, the author deliberately questions the principles of
logic, rational cognition, narrative and drama. •L'HOMME
QUI MENT (The Man Who Lies) Shot on location in Czechoslovakia, L'Homme qui ment is
the Kafkaesque story of a soldier, who after supposedly being shot down
by the Germans, recounts his story as a French Resistance fighter, though
he may actually be a traitor. Exploiting the sympathies of the townspeople
(and the local women) the protagonist invents his own character and past
as he goes along. Featuring no shortage of erotic scenes, including a
voyeuristic depiction of a lesbian affair between a maid and her sister,
and a typically obscured narrative, the film garnered Robbe-Grillet an
award for Best Screenplay at the Berlin Film Festival. Tickets: $10 ................................................................ 17
