Les Deux Anglaises et le continent

François Truffaut (1971) 124 mins

Truffaut transforms Henri-Pierre Roché’s (Jules et Jim) tale of 2 English girls smitten by with a young Frenchman into one of the most physical of films about love. Utilising the restricted palette of early 2-tone Technicolor (supremely lensed by Nestor Almendros) Truffaut produces the most eloquent of frissons in which the sense of a world vanishing can be etched on a lover’s face. With Jean-Pierre Léaud, Kika Markham & Stacey Tendeter. Music by Georges Delerue. Restored full-length version.

Imported 35mm print.

* Preceded by The 400 Blows.

* Screens as part of the François Truffaut Season.
