Claude Lelouch In Person! Double Feature:

       

French filmmaker Claude Lelouch is a true renaissance man of cinema: a writer, director, actor, cinematographer and editor who has worked in documentaries, shorts and narrative features. He became known around the world for his 1966 Palme d'Or winner A MAN AND A WOMAN, and in subsequent films has continued to explore romantic relationships (as well as other topics including politics and crime) with great sensitivity. Join us for a screening of Lelouch, most famous masterpiece, as well as a sneak preview of his latest film.

Sneak Preview! ROMAN DE GARE, 2008, Samuel Goldwyn Films, 110 min. Best  selling author Judith Ralitzer is researching unlikely places to find characters for her  next bestseller. As luck would have it, a serial killer with a penchant for magic tricks has just escaped from a high-security prison, providing the perfect source material for an intricately plotted, moody mystery. Deceptively layered and intriguingly misleading, this highly anticipated new film from Oscar-winning director Claude Lelouch stars Dominique  Pinon and Fanny Ardent as an unlikely pair caught up in a game with high stakes – and deadly consequences.

       

A MAN AND A WOMAN, 1966, Warner Bros., 103 min. This Oscar-winning love story is a model of simplicity and  fluidity. A young widow meets a widower at the boarding school that both of their children attend. He is a race car driver. The scenery, race car sequences and score all serve to         complement their friendship as it slowly emerges into a romance. Winner of the 1966 Cannes Film Festival. With Anouk Aimee, Jean-Louis Trintignant. Discussion in between films with director Claude Lelouch. In association with COLCOA, A week of French Film Premieres in Hollywood. www.colcoa.org.
