FRENCH NEW WAVE ESSENTIALS

AT THE MUSEUM OF ARTS AND DESIGN

MY NIGHT AT MAUD'S
July 25 & 26, 4 PM
1969, 110 mins. Directed by Éric Rohmer.

With Jean-Louis Trintignant, Françoise Fabian. A pious Catholic who lives by Pascal’s wager that there is everything to win and nothing to lose by living as though God exists, finds his beliefs challenged when a beautiful divorcee invites him to spend a platonic night in her apartment. The snowy winter backdrop and intimate conversations are exquisitely filmed in velvety black-and-white by Nestor Almendros.

This series marks the first collaboration between the Museum of Arts and Design and Museum of the Moving Image. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the French New Wave, this series will showcase some of the most influential films of this period, many being presented with recently restored 35mm prints. Films will be presented in MAD's 145-seat theater (first built in 1964 and restored and reopened last September). Organized by David Schwartz, chief curator of Museum of the Moving Image.

Museum of Arts and Design is located at 2 Columbus Circle at 59th Street. Tickets are $11 per film/$7 for members of Museum of the Moving Image or MAD. No reservations, seating is first come, first served.
