Description

The French Institute's movie theater is located at Florence Gould Hall on East 59th Street, one block south of the institute itself. The theater typically shows films on Tuesdays (or Cinema Tuesdays, as they're known here); it's a good place to catch up on missed French films from the past three or four years, and to see classics on 35mm prints. The steeply graded, stair-heavy auditorium has sort of a lecture-hall vibe, but the seating (intentionally or not) is stadium-style.

    I Can't Sleep

    By Jim Hoberman | Wed, September 28, 2011

    Dir. Claire Denis (1994). Inspired by an actual case, Denis’s daring and original account of a French serial murderer is at once a pungent vision of the new multiculti Paris and a highly fluid narrative, predicated on upon a series of unusual... More »

  • Beau Travail

    Beau Travail

    By Jim Hoberman | Wed, September 28, 2011

    Dir. Claire Denis (1999). Denis’s sensational transposition of “Billy Budd” to a French Foreign Legion post on the horn of Africa is a mosaic of pulverized shards. Every cut is a small, gorgeously explosive shock. Time drifts, memories flicker.... More »
