The Alliance Francaise of NW CT in collaboration with The Brookfield Library has scheduled a monthly showing of a French film with English sub-titles. Listening to the French (while watching the subtitles) is another great way to practice and train your ear to the French language.
On Sunday, April 3, 2016 at 1:00-4:00 pm the film will be Cléo de 5 a 7 (1961)
Selfish pop singer Cléo (Corinne Marchand) has two hours to wait until the results of her biopsy come back. After an ominous tarot card reading, she visits her friends, all of whom fail to give her the emotional support she needs. Wandering around Paris, she finally finds comfort talking with a soldier in a park. On leave from the Algerian War, his troubles put hers in perspective. As they talk and walk, Cléo comes to terms with her selfishness, finding peace before the results come back.
Director: Agnes Varda
Music Composed by Michel Legrand
