OCTOBER 29 - SPECIAL SEASON: BIGGER THAN LIFE: ARNAUD DESPLECHIN

October 29 - 6:30pm

La Sentinelle

Arnaud Desplechin (1992) 139 mins

Wonderfully idiosyncratic & mysterious psychological thriller following the journey of a Parisian pathology student (Emmanuel Salinger) who after crossing the Franco-German border discovers a mummified head in his luggage. Seeking to discover its origins, he becomes involved in a vendetta between decommissioned Cold War antagonists. Inflected with touches of Dostoyevsky, Kafka & Le Carré this highly original & extremely stylish mood piece announced Desplechin as one of the emerging talents of contemporary French cinema. With Emmanuelle Devos & Bruno Todeschini.

Otober 29 - 9:00pm

Playing "In The Company of Men"

Arnaud Desplechin (2003) 121 mins

This underrated, characteristically reflexive & encompassing meta-adaptation of Edward Bond’s play about boardroom arms dealing, dazzlingly moves between the unfolding drama & rehearsals for the production we are watching. Interweaving elements of Shakespeare’s Hamlet into Bond’s play, Desplechin returns to his commonly obsessive theme of the familial struggles between power & love. With Sami Bouajila & Jean-Paul Roussillon. Music by Paul Weller.

Imported 35mm print.
