Classics of French Cinemas: Selected Works of Jean-Pierre Melville
We welcome spring with a new French film series, focusing this time on the cinematic genius of Jean-Pierre Melville (1917-1973).  With a signature style informed by his experiences in the French Resistance and imbued with both passion and precision, he keeps us deep in thought and on the edge of our seats. There will be time for discussion after the film.

Les Enfants Terrible
Jean-Pierre Melville’s operatic camera movements and Jean Cocteau’s perverse, poetic approach to character merge in Les enfants terribles to create one of French cinema’s greatest, and most surprising, meetings of the minds.
(1950, 105 min.)
