Copie Conforme (Certified Copy) <\/a>(2010) – July 12<\/strong><\/p>\n

Directed by Abbas Kiarostami<\/p>\n

Author James Miller (William Shimell) travels through Italy promoting his book about the original versus the copy. At a meet-and-greet, James is taken with a beautiful French woman (Juliette Binoche), and they agree to meet again and visit a romantic Tuscan city. As their relationship begins to blossom, hidden secrets begin to percolate.<\/p>\n

Le Pont du Nord\u00a0<\/a>(1981) – July 15<\/strong><\/p>\n

Directed by Jacques Rivette<\/p>\n

Le Pont du Nord<\/em>\u00a0unites the great Bulle Ogier with her daughter Pascale Ogier as marginal characters who fatefully meet and become embroiled in a bizarre government conspiracy that may, or may not, be the product of their own paranoid fantasies. The tango of these seeming strangers is set to an evocative score by Astor Piazzola, and played out in a Paris of labyrinthine quartiers where time, space, and even genre\u2014a Mack Sennett slapstick comedy? A Louis Feuillade detective serial? A German Expressionist nightmare?\u2014become hopelessly mixed up. It is, in a word, Rivette\u2019s take on the classic French board game\u00a0Jeu de l\u2019oie.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Code inconnu: R\u00e9cit incomplet de divers voyages (Code Unknown: Incomplete Tales of Several Journeys)<\/em> <\/a>(2000) – July 20<\/strong><\/p>\n

Directed by Michael Haneke<\/p>\n

The director of\u00a0Amour<\/em>\u00a0spins a series of interlocking stories that begins when a Parisian teenager mocks a Romanian woman begging on the street, a spectacle of arrogance and injustice that comes to affect a widening circle of characters including an actress (Juliette Binoche), her war-photographer boyfriend, and an African music teacher. Filmed in extreme long takes, the film is one of Haneke\u2019s most stylistically adventurous, politically pointed works.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Irma Vep<\/a> (1996) – July 22<\/strong><\/p>\n

Directed by Olivier Assayas<\/p>\n

New Wave ham director Leaud enlists Hong Kong action-movie star Cheung to salvage his doomed remake of Louis Feuillade\u2019s silent-era\u00a0Les Vampires<\/em>. Squeezing into a black latex bondage suit, Cheung becomes vampish jewel thief Irma Vep and immediately holds the film crew in thrall. With the antic mayhem of a surrealist comedy and the knowing charms of Ren\u00e9 Clair and Francois Truffaut, Olivier Assayas celebrates a lost era of moviemaking while also flouting its genre conventions.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

White Material <\/a>(2009) – July 24<\/strong><\/p>\n

Directed by Claire Denis<\/p>\n

Maria Vial may be small of stature, but when soldiers tell her to evacuate her beloved coffee farm, she solidly holds her ground. In this unnamed African country, war between colonialists and rebels swirls around Maria, but she remains resolute even when a gun is pointed at her. Director Denis, who grew up in French colonial Africa, does not make a political statement, but rather dives deep into memory and the inviolability of home.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

L<\/a>umumba<\/a> (2001) – August 11<\/strong><\/p>\n

Directed by Raoul Peck<\/p>\n

\u201cEven dead, I was still a threat to them.\u201d Following over 50 years of brutal Belgian colonization, 36-year-old Patrice Lumumba became the first prime minister of the newly independent Congo in 1960. He was assassinated in 1961. Raoul Peck\u2019s (I Am Not Your Negro<\/em>) deliberate, arresting political thriller continues the director\u2019s investigation of Lumumba\u2019s life and legacy, following his 1990 documentary\u00a0Lumumba, la mort d’un proph\u00e8te (Lumumba: The Death of a Prophet)<\/em>.\u00a0Lumumba<\/em>\u00a0is a stunning\u2014and tragic\u2014tribute to one man\u2019s relentless resolve to decolonize his nation and better it for the next generation, while navigating Cold War\u2013era geopolitical labyrinths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":60437,"menu_order":0,"template":"","app_discipline":[219],"app_city_tax":[217],"app_event_type":[239],"class_list":["post-60439","app_event","type-app_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","app_discipline-cinema","app_city_tax-nyc","app_event_type-film"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nFrench films at MoMA - Summer 2023 - 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\/french-films-at-moma\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"French films at MoMA - Summer 2023 - Villa Albertine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Copie Conforme (Certified Copy) (2010) – July 12 Directed by Abbas Kiarostami Author James Miller (William Shimell) travels through Italy promoting his book about the original versus the copy.
