French Essentials, a selection curated by Justice G. Breyer\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

September 28 – Children of Paradise, directed by Marcel Carn\u00e9 and written by Jacques Pr\u00e9vert, 1945,\u00a0190\u00a0min, France<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Poetic realism reached sublime heights with\u00a0Children of Paradise,<\/em>\u00a0widely considered one of the greatest French films of all time. This nimble depiction of nineteenth-century Paris\u2019s theatrical demimonde, filmed during World War II, follows a mysterious woman (Arletty) loved by four different men (all based on historical figures): an actor, a criminal, a count, and, most poignantly, a mime (Jean-Louis Barrault, in a longing-suffused performance for the ages). With sensitivity and dramatic \u00e9lan, director Marcel Carn\u00e9 and screenwriter Jacques Pr\u00e9vert resurrect a world teeming with hucksters and aristocrats, thieves and courtesans, pimps and seers. And thanks to a major new restoration, this iconic classic looks and sounds richer and more detailed than ever.<\/p>\n

October 12 – La Grande Illusion, directed by Jean Renoir, 1937, 114\u00a0min, France\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

One of the very first prison escape movies,\u00a0La\u00a0Grande Illusion<\/em>\u00a0is hailed as one of the greatest films ever made. Jean Renoir’s antiwar masterpiece stars Jean Gabin and Pierre Fresnay as French soldiers held in a World War I German prison camp, and Erich von Stroheim as the unforgettable Captain von Rauffenstein.<\/p>\n

October 26 – Rendez-vous de Juillet,\u00a0directed by Jacques Becker, 1949, 112 min, France<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Teenager, Lucien aspires to become a filmmaker, and to that end organizes his friends into a film unit. The young cineastes hope to make a journey into Africa, there to film an uncompromisingly realistic documentary. Amusingly, Lucien and his friends are shown to be rather ill-equipped for real life, shuttling as they do between theatre classes, jazz bars, and coffee houses.<\/p>\n

November 09 – Jules and Jim,\u00a0directed by Fran\u00e7ois Truffaut, 1962, 115 min, France<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Paris, in the 1900s: Jules, German, and Jim, French, two artist friends, are in love with the same woman, Catherine. It is Jules who marries Catherine. They are separated by war. They meet again in 1918. Catherine doesn’t love Jules anymore and falls in love with Jim. The film is based on Henri-Pierre Roch\u00e9’s 1953 semi-autobiographical novel describing his relationship with young writer Franz Hessel and Helen Grund, whom Hessel married. Truffaut came across the book in the mid-1950s while browsing through some secondhand books at a shop along the Seine in Paris.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":58412,"menu_order":0,"template":"","app_discipline":[219],"app_city_tax":[226],"app_event_type":[239],"class_list":["post-58415","app_event","type-app_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","app_discipline-cinema","app_city_tax-dc","app_event_type-film"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nFrench Essentials, a Film Selection Curated by Justice G.
