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 November, we will be screening LES AMANTS DU PONT NEUF , the Cult French film by Leos Carax.
1991 - 2h50min - Dram directed by Leos Carax, with Juliette Binoche, Denis Lavant
In this intoxicating and innovative romance from director Leos Carax, an un-housed artist on the brink of losing her sight crosses paths with a street performer, their whirlwind romance unfolding on Paris’ iconic Pont Neuf bridge. French icons Juliette Binoche and Denis Lavant give mesmerizing, go-for-broke performances in their roles as the star-crossed lovers, and are rendered in Jean-Yves Escoffier’s gorgeous cinematography. In French w/ subtitles.
