CÉLINE SCIAMMA IN CONVERSATION

At the center of the film is this idea that there is no muse, or that it’s a beautiful word for hiding the reality of how women have been collaborating with artists. I wanted to portray the intellectual dialog and not to forget that there are several brains in the room. We see how art history reduces the collaboration between artists and their companions: before, a muse was this fetishized, silent, beautiful woman sitting in the room, whereas we now know that Dora Maar, the “muse” of Picasso, was this great Surrealist photographer. And Gabrièle Buffet-Picabia, the companion of Picabia, was intensely involved in his evolution…

I wanted to portray the reality of that in the process of actually making a film in strong collaboration with my actresses. — Céline Sciamma, writer and director of PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE

Sciamma and her stars—Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel—are in town to present a special screening of PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE, followed by a Q & A. Three days later, the writer-director will present an encore screening.

THE DARDENNES’ UNKNOWN GIRL

The stalwart formula of Belgian directors Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne—the corrosive effects of capitalism on mostly working-class families in and around Liège—has drawn enthusiastic audiences around the world for over thirty years. Their new feature, UNE FILLE INCONNUE/THE UNKNOWN GIRL, takes a particularly hard look at the socio-economic triggers of male depredation.

Dardenne regulars Jérémie Renier and Olivier Gourmet are back, and Adèle Haenel (AliyahL’homme qu’on aimait trop, Nocturama, and the upcoming 120 BPM) adds to her growing list of memorable performances.

LA FILLE INCONNUE/THE UNKNOWN GIRL, through October 5.

ROYAL, Santa Monica Boulevard, West Los Angeles.

PLAYHOUSE, 673 East Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena.

Opening September 29:

120 BATTEMENTS PAR MINUTE

“A naturalistic drama about the Paris branch of ACT UP in the nineties that masterfully intertwines dual narratives—a group portrait of AIDS activists and a love story of great delicacy—and deftly sidesteps every social-issue/disease movie cliché in the book.” — Jon FroschThe Hollywood Reporter
120 BATTEMENTS PAR MINUTE (2017)—written and directed by Robin Campillo (who was a member of ACT UP twenty years ago)—came out of nowhere to win the Grand Prix at Cannes this weekend.
.
The film stars Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, Arnaud Valois, Adèle Haenel, and Antoine Reinartz and will open in Paris cinemas on August 23, 2017.
