Ciné-Salon: Ascenseur pour l'échafaud

Online event via Zoom: RSVP on our website!

Join our June Ciné-Salon to discuss Ascenseur pour l'échafaud, a film by Louis Malle.
Please note: Participants in the Ciné-Salon are expected to watch the film before attending the Friday discussion.

For his feature debut, twenty-four-year-old Louis Malle brought together a mesmerizing performance by Jeanne Moreau, evocative cinematography by Henri Decaë, and a now legendary jazz score by Miles Davis. Taking place over the course of one restless Paris night, Malle’s richly atmospheric crime thriller stars Moreau and Maurice Ronet as lovers whose plan to murder her husband (his boss) goes awry, setting off a chain of events that seals their fate.

Discussion questions available on our website.
