Following her monumental first screenplay for <em><strong>Hiroshima, Mon Amour <\/strong><\/em>(1959), she worked for ten years as a screenwriter on film adaptations of her own novels directed by the likes of <strong>Jules Dassin, Tony Richardson, and Peter Brook<\/strong>. At the age of 55, Duras directed her first feature,<em><strong> D\u00e9truire Dit-Elle <\/strong><\/em>(1969), and continued to develop an inimitable style over the next 25 years of filmmaking. As a writer\/director interested in exploring the intersections of colonialism, female sexuality, and the language of film itself, her influence can be felt within the work of contemporary filmmakers like Claire Denis, who has referred to Duras as an &#8220;intellectual hero.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This series\u00a0perfectly expresses Duras&#8217; passage from a begrudging reliance on the filmic representations of others to the active expression of her personal mythologies and political concerns on screen. While she expertly elicited memorable performances from actors such as <strong>Jeanne Moreau, Delphine Seyrig, Michael Lonsdale, and Gerard Depardieu<\/strong>, it is undoubtedly Duras&#8217; unfettered use of her own voice that is her most thrilling challenge to the history of cinema. &#8211;<strong><em>Zachary Vanes (Curator)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Program<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hiroshima Mon Amour\u00a0<\/strong>(Alain Resnais, 1959)<br \/><em>Written by Marguerite Duras <\/em><br \/>\nJan 30, 2022<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Une aussi longue absence <\/em><\/strong>(Henri Colpi,1961)<br \/><em>Written by Marguerite Duras <\/em><br \/>\nFeb 6, 2022<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>D\u00e9truire dit-elle <\/em><\/strong>(Marguerite Duras,1969)<br \/><em>Written by Marguerite Duras <\/em><br \/>\nFeb 13, 2022<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>India Song <\/em><\/strong>(Marguerite Duras,1975)<br \/><em>Written by Marguerite Duras<\/em><br \/>\nFeb 20, 2022<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Le Camion <\/em><\/strong>(Marguerite Duras,1977)<br \/><em>Written by Marguerite Duras<\/em><br \/>\nFeb 27, 2022<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Le Navire Night <\/em><\/strong>(Marguerite Duras,1979)<br \/><em>Written by Marguerite Duras<\/em><br \/>\nMarch 6, 2022<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Agatha et les lectures illimit\u00e9es<\/strong><\/em> (Marguerite Duras,1981)<br \/><em>Written by Marguerite Duras<\/em><br \/>\nMarch 13, 2022<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.docfilms.org\/calendar\/#sun\"><u><strong>More information<\/strong><\/u><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":58654,"menu_order":0,"template":"","app_discipline":[219],"app_city_tax":[223],"app_event_type":[239],"class_list":["post-58656","app_event","type-app_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","app_discipline-cinema","app_city_tax-chi","app_event_type-film"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Destroy, She Said: A Marguerite Duras Series - Villa Albertine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/va\/events\/marguerite-duras-retrospective\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Destroy, She Said: A Marguerite Duras Series - Villa Albertine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Unlike her contemporaries of post-1968 cinema, such as Agnes Varda, Chantal Akerman, and Nelly Kaplan,\u00a0Marguerite Duras was already a successful novelist with a keen interest in deconstructing\u00a0her own writing on screen when she made her directorial debut.
