FFF13: In The House (MA15+)
- March 10 · 6:15 PM
Screening as part of the Alliance Française French Film Festival 2013.
High school literature teacher Germain (Fabrice Luchini, Potiche and The Women On The 6th Floor) despairs at the quality of his students’ writing until he reads a story that is both compelling and disturbingly voyeuristic. His talented student, Claude (Ernst Umhauer), writes of charming his way into his friend’s house and of his fascination with his friend’s mother (Emmanuelle Seigner).
Germain’s passion for teaching is reawakened and he offers Claude some private lessons. But who has he let into his house? Gradually the line between Claude’s new stories and reality blur until Germain himself starts appearing in Claude’s writing and Germain’s own life becomes a new obsession.
Celebrated auteur filmmaker François Ozon has adapted Juan Mayorga’s play The Boy In The Last Row to create a captivating and ironic look at the art of storytelling itself. He has successfully bridged mainstream hits, such as 8 Women, with his more cerebral works, such as The Swimming Pool, to create a clever and seductive film that was a big hit in France.
Please note this film is in French with English subtitles. Duration: 105 minutes.
WHERE TO MEET
Meet Gvantsa in front of the cinema at 6:15 pm for the 6:45 screening. Buy your ticket(s) individually.

Hi all - to those who are, as of 4 pm, still going to the FFF13 :) I won't be able to get any further updates till after I get back home, so please text me at [masked] if the circumstances have changed, and you're no longer planning to join us. So far we're a group of 6 - looking forward to seeing you at the Kino Cinema! Ciao, GS

it's OK, can happen to anyone, not that FFF13 is the single most important event in our lives :))) You'll get another chance, though - I've put up a couple of films for the next weekend, and will add some more for weekdays. I'm even going today to see "Sister" at 3.45pm@Kino, by myself (no Meetup scheduled), so you're welcome to join, if you have nothing better to do on a scorching Labor Day :)))

What's in the morning? A festival film, or just a regular showing? I was thinking of Louise Whimmer at 4.45pm, right before this "In the house", but then figured, 2 french films back-to-back won't be as enjoyable.
