Babe, we're doing Bleak MONTH! The Sie did a Bleak Week and while good, imo it's not nearly bleak enough. Some (maybe just a couple) of DCC's Deep Divers will be partaking in a month long sessions of the most bleak, depressing, dark films to have been printed on screen. They will make numb you, upset you, disturb you, and also hopefully heal you. Let's dive in!

Summer of Jeanne Moreau - Lumière (1976)
Edgewater Public Market, 5505 W. 20th Ave,, Edgewater, CO, USHere it is folks, the end of the summer of Jeanne Moreau. Thanks to all of you lovely people who joined me in this exploration! For the finale, let's watch a film written and directed by Moreau. A story of three actresses at different ages, Lumière is largely understood to be drawn from Moreau's own experiences. I can't wait to hear from her.
From a Letterboxd review (sakana1): Lumière is about what it's like to be a woman, but particularly a woman of a certain age. How hard it is to find and keep yourself; how to live when everyone assumes you're happy; how to survive when you need comfort but are desperate to be alone. What to do with the people you love disappear, and your fantasy of connection turns to dust. It's intense, and it's heartbreaking, and it's honest.
You can watch Lumière for free on YouTube.
Watch the film at home and then meet us to discuss. Edgewater Public Market has many food and drink options. We'll be on the patio outside, weather dependent.
Grab a bite and a drink and look for the DCC signage on our table. We're usually on the eastern end of the patio, in the shade of the building.Summer of Jeanne Moreau is casual and free-form, with plenty of time for chit-chat and other movie talk! Join us for one or many.
