SUR LE FILM
---------------------------

Compartiments tueurs (The Sleeping Car Murders)
Réalisé par Costa-Gavras - 1965, 95 min. (Cert. TBC).

Ce film, le premier du réalisateur franco-grec Costa-Gavras, est une adaptation décalée et incisive du roman éponyme. Six personnes partagent le compartiment d’un train de nuit à destination de Paris. Après leur arrivée, l’un d’entre eux est retrouvé étranglé, et le tueur ne tarde pas à liquider les passagers restants. Une exécution parfaite du genre policier, entre fausses pistes et revirements de situations en abondance !

La projection aura lieu sur un grand écran à la Manchester Central Library. Le film est en français avec des sous-titres anglais et sera présenté par un membre de l'AFM, qui animera également la discussion après la projection.

L'allocation des places se fait selon la logique du "premier arrivé premier servi" le jour de la projection.

Le programme complet de la saison, les horaires et dates sont disponibles et vous pouvez réserver votre billet en ligne.

ABOUT THE FILM
---------------------------

Compartiments tueurs (The Sleeping Car Murders)
Directed by Costa-Gavras - 1965, 95 min. (Cert. TBC).

This first feature by Franco-Greek director Costa-Gavras is a humorous, visually punchy take on the murder mystery. Six people share a sleeping compartment on a Paris-bound train. After they arrive, one of them is found strangled, and before long, the killer starts bumping off the remaining passengers. Red herrings abound and the twists and thrills are masterfully executed!

The screening will take place on a screen at Manchester Central Library. Film in French with English subtitles.

Entry is on a first come, first served basis on the day of screening.

Full-season programme details, times and dates are available and you can book your tickets online.

Come and join the French Book Club to share your thoughts! 👋🏻

📚 The French Book Club is a friendly French reading group led by a member of the AF Manchester Culture and Communication team. It is open to all - you do not have to be enrolled in a class with us. All works and discussions are in French, so an intermediate level is required. It is a great way to practice your French while discovering works of literature in French.

Synopsis : En juin 2021, un événement insensé bouleverse les vies de centaines de passagers d’un vol Paris-New York. Parmi eux : Blake, père de famille respectable et néanmoins tueur à gages ou Slimboy, pop star nigériane, las de vivre dans le mensonge. Tous croyaient avoir une vie secrète. Nul n’imaginait à quel point c’était vrai.
