SEPTEMBER 5: Nouvelle Vague - 7.00 pm

Le petit soldat

(Jean-Luc Godard) PG 1960/63 France 88 mins

A young French secret agent is commanded to murder an FLN leader. Godard's savage exposition of the Algerian conflict was banned for several years in France for the explicitness of its representation of torture & the moral ambiguity of its characters. Anna Karina's feature debut, with evocatively immediate cinematography by Raoul Coutard. Michel Subor's protagonist returned as the commander in Claire Denis' fascinating companion piece, Beau travail.

Followed at 8.40pm by Muriel ou Le Temps d'un retour.
