October 6 at 6:00pm. Bon Voyage<\/em><\/a> (romance\/com\u00e9die, dir. Jean-Paul Rappeneau) [postponed from Sept. 29]<\/strong><\/p>\n

“At the start of World War II, the fate of the free world hangs in the balance at the posh Hotel Splendide in Bordeaux. Cabinet members, journalists, physicists, and spies of all persuasions gather in order to escape the Nazi occupation of Paris. High society socialites hobnob with jailbirds. Murderous intrigues, scientific secrets and love affairs flourish.” (Rotten Tomatoes)<\/p>\n

“En juin 1940, \u00e0 l’h\u00f4tel Splendid de Bordeaux sont r\u00e9unis ministres, journalistes, grands bourgeois, demi-mondaines et espions de tous bords. L\u00e0, un jeune homme devra choisir entre une c\u00e9l\u00e8bre actrice et une \u00e9tudiante passionn\u00e9e, entre les politiques et les voyous, entre l’insouciance et l’\u00e2ge adulte.” (Allocin\u00e9)<\/p>\n

October 20 at 6:00 p.m. L\u2019Homme du train<\/a> (Policier\/dramatique, dir. Patrice Leconte)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTwo men from two different walks of life develop an unexpected friendship in French director Patrice Leconte’s 2002 comedy-drama The Man on the Train<\/em>. Weary from his trip and in anticipation of the heist he’s about to perform, Milan (French rock star Johnny Hallyday) steps off the train after arriving in the small town where he’s to meet his co-conspirators and heads straight to the town pharmacy. After accidentally buying the wrong product, Milan makes the acquaintance of retired teacher Manesquier (Jean Rochefort), who offers to help the traveler and then promptly begins talking ad nauseum. Milan, after paying partial attention to the old man’s ramblings, excuses himself to find accommodations — only to run into Manesquier once more after learning that the hotel has closed for the night. As the two men talk, they develop a respect for one another, as well as a secret longing to live the type of lifestyle the other man lives based on the desire to escape their own.\u201d (Rotten Tomatoes)<\/p>\n

\u201cUn myst\u00e9rieux \u00e9tranger descend d’un train et fait son apparition dans une petite ville. Cet individu au visage marqu\u00e9, ayant pour unique bagage un sac de voyage, entre dans une pharmacie sur le point de fermer pour acheter de l’aspirine. Il fait alors la rencontre d’un professeur de fran\u00e7ais \u00e0 la retraite qui lui propose de prendre un verre d’eau chez lui. Alors que tout les oppose, ils vont sympathiser et se rendre compte que l’un aurait voulu avoir la vie de l’autre. L’ancien enseignant se r\u00eavait aventurier, tandis que le voyageur s’envisageait pantouflard.\u201d (Allocin\u00e9)<\/p>\n

Nov. 17 @ 6pm\u00a0 – Cl\u00e9o de 5 \u00e0 7<\/a> (dramatique\/musique, dir. Agn\u00e8s Varda)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cA spoiled and beautiful young pop singer wanders across Paris while awaiting the results of a medical test that may show she has cancer.\u201d (Rotten Tomatoes)<\/p>\n

\u201cCl\u00e9o, belle et chanteuse, attend les r\u00e9sultats d’une analyse m\u00e9dicale. De la superstition \u00e0 la peur, de la rue de Rivoli au Caf\u00e9 de D\u00f4me, de la coquetterie \u00e0 l’angoisse, de chez elle au Parc Montsouris, Cl\u00e9o vit quatre-vingt-dix minutes particuli\u00e8res. Son amant, son musicien, une amie puis un soldat lui ouvrent les yeux sur le monde.\u201d (Allocin\u00e9)<\/p>\n
