FRENCH NEW WAVE ESSENTIALS

AT THE MUSEUM OF ARTS AND DESIGN

LES BONNES FEMMES
August 15 & 16, 4 PM
1960, 100 mins. Directed by Claude Chabrol.

With Bernadette Lafont, Claude Berri, Clotilde Joano, Mario David. Four young “shop girls” who work together in a Paris appliance store find different ways to escape their routine lives and find happiness, in this darkly humorous and highly formalized film, which Andrew Sarris called “Chabrol’s great masterpiece...one of the great films of the 1960s.”

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.
