Schedule
Tuesday, April 22, 2025
André Téchiné, 1986, France, 90min, DCP
Starring Catherine Deneuve, Danielle Darrieux, Wadeck Stanczak, Victor Lanoux
In this gripping pastoral noir, a lonely thirteen-year-old boy’s chance encounter with a pair of recently escaped prisoners unleashes a sequence of events that culminate in a showdown worthy of a Greek tragedy. Téchiné is at his best and most personal in using this impassioned crime story to reveal intricate relationships, matching the amour fou driving his protagonists with a sensual depiction of his native southwest France. In the role of the boy’s mother, Deneuve is the owner of a provincial nightclub on a romantic collision course with one of the convicts, achieving her signature effect of a glamorous demeanor hiding endless turmoil.
