When a young aspiring musician (Anna Mouglalis) learns of a strange past connection to a famous concert pianist (Jacques Dutronc), she feels compelled to meet him. His embrace of her presence sparks the jealousy of his son and, more perilously, his devoted third wife (Huppert).
For his truly fitting swan song, Wiseman focuses his camera on the Troisgrois family, who for generations have run three restaurants in central France. The result is a highly detailed look at a bustling yet civilized and creative environment, the owners never tiring in the desire for continued greatness.
7pm followed by conversation with Isabelle Huppert, moderated by filmmaker Ira Sachs
In the most playful film of the Chabrol-Huppert alliance, petty scam artists Betty (Huppert) and Victor (Michel Serrault) join the big time when Betty eyes a larger target. As they enter dangerous new territory, it’s not always clear who’s playing who, but that’s all just part of the fun.

In celebration of Bastille Day, we present Renoir’s epic historical drama, which chronicles the French Revolution’s onset through fictional volunteers fighting for their country and characterizations of historical figures. Said Bertrand Tavernier of the film: “There’s a grounding, a strength, a lyricism, and openness of mind.”
Jacques Tati’s first color film brings back the endearingly clumsy Monsieur Hulot, hopelessly at odds with the advancements of modern life and hilariously out of place in his sister’s geometric, mechanized home. Winner of the 1959 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Mon oncle remains one of cinema’s most delightful comedies.
Partir un jour
Opening the Cannes Film Festival last year, Leave One Day is a charming, heartwarming musical following Cécile (Juliette Armanet), who returns to her native village after her father’s heart attack; a reunion with her teenage crush stirs long-buried memories. Amélie Bonnin’s debut is a warm, retro-tinged feel-good film, punctuated by songs that linger long after the credits roll.
Bastille Day returns to Madison Avenue on Sunday, July 12, with this year’s vibrant theme: Montmartre to Manhattan – Celebrating 250 Years of French American Creativity.. The street will transform into a celebration of French culture, creativity, and joie de vivre.

New York Premiere
Returning to Crossing The Line after Αγρίμι / Fauve in 2024, choreographer Lenio Kaklea continues her exploration of ecology through dance. In The Birds, she takes inspiration from the ways in which birds structure their behavior through dance and song, from mating rituals to hunting patterns. Bright colors, acrobatics and energetic movements contrast with the eerie sense of being watched, as Kaklea questions the precarious equilibrium between freedom and subjugation.
