The Man in the Basement<\/strong> <\/em>by Philippe Le Guay<\/p>\n

A benign real estate deal becomes a sinister standoff between a young Parisian French couple (J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Renier\u00a0and Academy Award nominee B\u00e9r\u00e9nice Bejo) and a dangerous Holocaust denier. Simon Sandberg, a Jewish Parisian architect (Renier) sells his flat\u2019s unused cellar to a\u00a0seemingly normal and\u00a0well-mannered\u00a0former history teacher,\u00a0Jacques Fonzic\u00a0(The Untouchables<\/em>\u2019 Fran\u00e7ois Cluzet). But when Fonzic takes up residence in the cellar, the stranger\u2019s secret life emerges.\u00a0Slowly and methodically, his far-right, radicalized beliefs about Judaism and conspiracy theories ensnare Simon\u2019s very existence, driving him to more and more desperate strategies to evict the man.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What ensues is a riveting cat-and-mouse game between Fonzic and Sandberg as\u00a0the increasingly menacing buyer insinuates himself with their naive teenage daughter, turning the family\u2019s idyllic world upside down. Impeccable acting and a nightmare scenario drive this tense and gripping thriller, based on a true story, to its logical and frightening conclusion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

FRANCE’S OFFICIAL OSCAR\u00ae ENTRY FOR BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE<\/strong><\/p>\n

This progressively claustrophobic courtroom drama is told through the stoic point of view of Rama (played with restrained intensity by a superb Kayije Kagame), a young novelist working on a contemporary retelling of the ancient Medea myth. Pregnant herself and increasingly uneasy, Rama\u2019s own family history, doubts, and fears about motherhood are steadily dislodged as the life story of the accused woman, Laurence Coly, is gradually revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Director\u00a0Alice Diop<\/strong>\u00a0and actress\u00a0Guslagie Malanda<\/strong>\u00a0will be in attendance for the opening in New York City at\u00a0Film at Lincoln Center<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Film Forum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Super 8 Years<\/strong> <\/em>by\u00a0Annie Ernaux and David Ernaux-Briot\u00a0<\/p>\n

The French writer and 2022 Nobel Prize awardee\u00a0Annie Ernaux, whose novels and memoirs have gained her a devoted following (and whose autobiographical\u00a0L\u2019\u00c9v\u00e9nement\u00a0<\/em>was adapted just last year into the critically acclaimed filmHappening<\/em>), opens a treasure trove with this delicate journey into her family\u2019s memory. Compiled from gorgeously textured home movie images from 1972 to 1981\u2014when her first books were published, her sons became teenagers, and her husband Philippe brought an 8mm film camera everywhere they went\u2014this portrait of a time, place, and moment of personal and political significance takes us from holidays and family rituals in suburban bourgeois France to trips abroad in Albania and Egypt, Spain and the USSR. Supplying her own introspective voiceover, Ernaux and her co-filmmaker, her son David, guide the viewer through fragments of a decade, diffuse and vivid in equal measure.\u00a0The Super 8 Years<\/em>\u00a0is a remarkable visual extension of Ernaux\u2019s ongoing literary project to make sense of the mysterious past and the unknowable future.

Prolific documentary maestro Frederick Wiseman (46 feature-length films since 1967) has fashioned a moving, empathetic monologue based on the diaries of Sophia Tolstoy, with whom the great writer had 13 children and who, as his amanuensis, copied his masterpiece, War and Peace, seven times. Filmed amid gorgeous, idyllic settings befitting a Russian countess, French actress Nathalie Boutefeu portrays Sophia as a determined, loving, angry woman who recognizes the limitations of long-term marriage to a man of world-renown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle<\/em><\/strong> by Arthur Harari<\/p>\n

A drama based on the true story of Hiroo Onoda, the legendary Japanese soldier who spent 30 years in the Philippine jungle, refusing to surrender because he was convinced World War II had not ended. Camouflaged by leaves and bark, shooting water buffalo for sustenance, Onoda will not believe even the recordings of his brother\u2019s voice, imploring him to give up, or the magazine articles left for him in the jungle, meant to enlighten him about a world that had changed dramatically since 1944. (His response: paranoid conspiracy theories about the enemy concocting fake news.) Was Onoda a self-deluded fanatic or a paragon of patriotism? Harari\u2019s poignant, epic drama reveals the complexities of the man who became a modern myth \u2013 and the inspiration for Werner Herzog\u2019s recently published novel,\u00a0The Twilight World<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Peter Von Kant\u00a0<\/em>Written and Directed by\u00a0Fran\u00e7ois Ozon<\/p>\n

Reversing the main characters’ genders of Fassbinder’s 1972 all-female cast film, Ozon has reinvented it via the director’s tumultuous life and career, while remaining true to his original screenplay. Instead of Petra, the fashion designer of the original, Ozon has cast Denis Menochet (By the Grace of God) as Peter Von Kant, a stand in for the legendary German filmmaker. Isabelle Adjani plays Peter’s glamorous actress muse Sidonie, who introduces Peter to Amir (Khalil Gharbia), a sexy 23-year-old. Amir casts an instant spell on Peter who invites him back the next night to discuss a career in acting and a possible role in his next production. St\u00e9fan Cr\u00e9pon portrays Karl, the silent assistant whom Peter enjoys tormenting. As another element of Ozon\u2019s homage to Fassbinder, Hanna Schygulla, the original object of Petra’s desire, now plays Peter’s mother.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Hold MeTight<\/em><\/strong> by Mathieu Amalric<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Hold Me Tight<\/em>, Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread<\/em>,\u00a0Bergman Island<\/em>) gives another riveting performance as Clarisse, a woman on the run from her family for reasons that aren\u2019t immediately clear. Widely renowned as one of France\u2019s great contemporary actors but less well-known in North America for his equally impressive work behind the camera, Mathieu Amalric\u2019s sixth feature as director is his most ambitious to date. This virtuosic, daringly fluid portrait of a woman in crisis alternates between Clarisse\u2019s adventures on the road and scenes of her abandoned husband Marc (Arieh Worthalter) as he struggles to take care of their children at home. Amalric\u2019s film keeps viewers uncertain as to the reality of what they\u2019re seeing until the final moments of this moving, unpredictable, and richly rewarding family drama.<\/p>\n

Literally running from dawn to sunset to get to her job and back home in time to fetch her children, Julie is constantly on the verge of a breakdown. When she finally gets a job interview for a position more suited to her skill set, Julie has to walk a very tightrope between keeping her current job, and sneaking out while calling on co-workers to cover for her as more obstacles pile up in front of her.<\/p>\n

Lourdes\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>by\u00a0Thierry Demaiz\u00e8re and Alban Teurlai<\/p>\n

Lourdes: A stunningly beautiful mountainous village in the Southwest foothills of the Pyrenees went from a sleepy scenic town to a sacred wonder after 1858, when a 14-year-old peasant girl claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary in a remote grotto. Today, the town is second only to Paris in the number of annual visitors (6 million), part venerated shrine, part Disneyland (shops selling bottled holy water and Virgin Mary-related tchotchkes). Vast processions of people seeking a miracle fuel a small army of care-givers who accompany them. These pilgrims are a surprising cross-section of humanity: accident victims, the terminally ill, an overweight and bullied teenager, a contingent of aging Paris prostitutes… LOURDES is an insightful meditation on the human capacity for empathy and hope, and the mystery of religious faith in the face of profound tribulation.<\/p>\n

Post-Screening Q&A with director Sandrine Kiberlain and actress Rebecca Marder on Feb, 16 at the FIAF Florence Gould Hall! <\/strong><\/p>\n

A Radiant Girl <\/em><\/strong>by Sandrine Kiberlain\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paris, summer 1942. Irene, a vibrant 19-year-old aspiring actress without a care in the world, is honing her passion for the theater, rehearsing for the entrance exam to the coveted Conservatory, making new friends and discovering love, without realizing that time is running out in Nazi-occupied France, as her close-knit family is watching. In turns enchanting and devastating, Ms. Kiberlain\u2019s drama, which she also wrote, is not a traditional Holocaust narrative, but a unique coming-of-age tale about the freedoms of youth amidst a changing world, anchored by a star-making performance by Ms. Marder “which more than delivers on the luminous promise of the English title” (Screen Daily). Ms. Marder was selected for the C\u00e9sar Academy\u2019s\u00a0annual “Revelations” list of rising stars leading up to the nomination.\u00a0Partly inspired by Ms. Kiberlain\u2019s own family story, the film shows the dangers of complacency in the face of fascism, as well as moments of beauty that are possible even under the hardest of circumstances. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Chocolat<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>by\u00a0Claire Denis\u00a0<\/p>\n

The great Claire Denis made her debut with this semi-autobiographical feature, based on her childhood in colonial French Africa as the daughter of a civil servant. France (Mireille Perrier) reminisces about her childhood in Cameroon as her father (Fran\u00e7ois Cluzet) comes and goes on call, which leads to the strengthening of her friendship with their devoted house servant, Prot\u00e9e (Isaach de Bankol\u00e9), and to the escalating sexual tension between him and her mother, Aim\u00e9e (Giulia Boschi). As Prot\u00e9e increasingly becomes an object of desire and of scorn, France\u2019s memories become more and more ambivalent. Prefiguring the concerns of Denis\u2019s later films (Beau Travail<\/em>,\u00a0White Material<\/em>) and establishing the tactile sensuality and elliptical style for which she is known,\u00a0Chocolat<\/em>\u00a0today stands as a modern classic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rewind&Play<\/em><\/strong> by Alain Gomis<\/p>\n

In December 1969, legendary jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk ended his European concert tour with a performance at the Salle Pleyel in Paris. Before the show, he was invited to appear on a French television program to perform and answer questions in an intimate setting. Using newly discovered footage from this recording, director Alain Gomis (F\u00c9LICIT\u00c9) reveals the disconnect between Monk and his interviewer, Henri Renaud, whose unwittingly trivializing approach conveys the casual racism and exploitation prevalent in the music industry at large. A fascinating behind-the-scenes documentary with extraordinary rarely-seen performances, REWIND & PLAY offers a unique opportunity to see Monk in a way that very few people did.<\/p>\n

The Worst Ones<\/em><\/strong> by Lise Akoka, Romane Gueret<\/p>\n

Set in the suburbs of Boulogne-Sur-Mer in northern France, The Worst Ones<\/em> captures a film within a film as it follows the production of a feature whose director turns to the local Cit\u00e9 Picasso housing project for casting. Eager to capture performances of gritty authenticity, the director selects four working class teenagers to act in the film to the surprise and consternation of the local community, who question the director\u2019s choice of \u201cthe worst ones.\u201d As the director and crew audition, rehearse, film, and interact with their hand-picked cast, jealousies are stoked, lines are crossed, and ethical questions arise, with thought-provoking and at times darkly funny results. Winner of the top prize in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, The Worst Ones<\/em> announces directors Lise Akoka and Romane Gueret as exciting new voices in French cinema.<\/p>\n

Tori and Lokita<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>by\u00a0Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne<\/p>\n

From two-time Palme d\u2019Or winners Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne (Two Days, One Night<\/em>)\u00a0TORI AND LOKITA is the story of seventeen-year-old Lokita and twelve-year-old Tori (in remarkable debut performances from Pablo Schils and Joely Mbundu), two immigrants \u2014 from Benin and Cameroon, respectively \u2014 struggling for survival on the margins of society. The inseparable pair work as performers in a cheap trattoria, dealing drugs on the side for the restaurant\u2019s abusive cook, while balancing the demands of an indifferent bureaucracy and a band of violent smugglers. When Lokita is held captive while working in a marijuana grow house, Tori scrambles to save his companion from their abusers, as events spiral out of control. Winner of the 75th\u00a0Anniversary Prize at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, the latest humanist drama from the Dardenne Brothers is a heart-stopping thriller that casts an unflinching eye on the trials of the young and dispossessed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
