Join the Alliance Française de Philadelphie, partner of the French Film Series at the AMBLER THEATER !

The French Film Series is a partnership between the Alliance Francaise de Philadelphie and Renew Theaters with the aim to select and propose French and francophone films to a wider audience in Ambler and Doylestown Theater. This initiative is supported by the Vesta Fund, based in the Gwynedd valley in Pennsylvania.

Over the year we will be screening:
- a recent film that won a César or has global recognition
- an Iconic Classic with a lecture
- a film selected by a Guest Programmer who has knowledge of French language cinema
- a Family Friendly event around a film
- a Cult French film
....

This October, we will be screening LES DIABOLIQUES, the Classic film by Henri-Georges Clouzot. 

About the Film

1955 - 1h57min - Drama directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, with Simone Signoret, Véra Clouzot, Paul Meurisse

Henri-Georges Clouzot’s masterful thriller remains one of the most influential suspense films ever made, famously inspiring Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. Shocking audiences on both sides of the Atlantic upon its release, DIABOLIQUE follows a frail wife and her husband’s mistress as they plot the murder of the cruel and domineering boarding school headmaster. What follows is a masterclass in tension, filled with unforgettable twists and haunting imagery that helped shape the modern horror and psychological thriller genres.
