FILM SCREENING Every Man for Himself |
April 1 | 7:30 and 9:30 pm
April 2 | 5 and 7:30 pmAfter a decade of radical politics, video experimentation, and activist filmmaking, director Jean-Luc Godard made a triumphant return to international screens with this 1980 feature. Iconic chanteur Jacques Dutronc stars as a filmmaker estranged from his job, his ex-wife, and their prepubescent daughter. Frustrated in his relationship with television producer Nathalie Baye, he winds up with a call-girl whose other clients range from eccentric tycoons to crime bosses. Every Man for Himself is a poetic, comical, and incisive portrait of sex and work in the modern world. It's also one of cinema's greatest comebacks. (New 35mm print)

FILM SCREENING Diary of a Country Priest |
April 22 | 7:30 and 9:40 pm
April 23 | 5 and 7:30 pm
April 24 | 1 pm
A young priest arrives in a rural hamlet in northern France to take charge of his first parish. Confronted with an indifferent and hostile congregation, he's thrown into a crisis of faith that plays out on the pages of his private journal. As he commits himself to overcoming the villagers' apathy, he pursues an ascetic life sustained by a diet of bread, sweetened wine, and contemplation. The film's restraint intensifies the spiritual journey of a man approaching sainthood. (New 35mm print)Learn more
