Princeton French Film Festival

Schedule:

7:30 PM: Classic Pick - 1988 Cannes Festival’s Palme D’or Nominee at McCosh Hall 10
Director: Claire Denis.
Acclaimed filmmaker Claire Denis drew on her own childhood experiences growing up in colonial French Africa for her multilayered, languorously absorbing feature debut, which explores many of the themes that would recur throughout her work. Returning to the town where she grew up in Cameroon after many years living in France, Aimée (Mireille Perrier) reflects on her relationship with Protée (Isaach De Bankolé) with whom she formed a friendship while not fully grasping the racial divides that governed their worlds.
