This year’s edition of Rendez-vous with french cinema covers the wide spectrum from engaging entertainments like Albert Dupontel’s 9 Month Stretch to the works of art house favourite Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amélie), and master filmmakers Alain Resnais and Bertrand Tavernier.
This year’s edition pays tribute to the late and great Alain Resnais, a director of unmatched distinction and elegance, whose works awed and amazed, or shocked and unnerved, but never left audiences indifferent. In addition to his last film, Life of Riley, an audacious adaptation of the work of British playwright Alan Ayckbourn with staggering performances by an all-star ensemble cast, the organizers will be screening the restored print of his landmark of the French New Wave, the multi-award-winning Hiroshima mon amour.
Some of french directors and actors ((Fanny Ardant, Albert Dupontel, Jean-Pierre Jeunet…) will be there to meet their english audience and to answer to the questions about their films.
