An annual holiday from the local cineplex and its wholesale American fare, Rendez-Vous with French Cinema arrives touting the recent best from the Republic. For its 14th go-around, the festival has snagged 18 premieres from Gallic leviathans (Claude Chabrol's Bellamy, Claire Denis' 35 Shots of Rum) and lesser-known compatriots (Samuel Collardey's The Apprentice, Martin Provost's Séraphine). Itinerant activist Costa-Gavras reinforces his reputation as cinema's Kilroy with Eden Is West, which sifts through immigrant life in the EU, while the Mother of the Nouvelle Vague, Agnès Varda, ruminates on a wonderful life in The Beaches of Agnès. Christophe Barratier's fetching throwback Paris 36 breaks in the newly refurbished Alice Tully Hall for the red-letter opening.
