Marguerite Duras on Film

  • Sjff_01_img0235_large

Anthology says:

This retrospective is part of IN THE WORDS OF DURAS, celebrating Marguerite Duras, with film screenings, performances, and exhibits presented by Anthology, Baryshnikov Arts Center, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, and the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF). Though Duras' fame rests predominantly on her work as a novelist and playwright, her engagement with filmmaking was passionate and sustained.

The film leg of our city's all-out, month-long tribute to Marguerite Duras salutes her radical directorial career. While that means sorry to Hiroshima Mon Amour and The Lover, it does provide a chance to see the polymathic femme's classics India Song and Nathalie Granger. The former stars Delphine Seyrig in colonial India, circa the '30s, and tracks her "colonial sickness," while the latter draws ellipses around the fantastic, trapped trio of Jeanne Moreau, Lucia Bose, and Gérard Depardieu. There's also the absurdist pleasure of Les Enfants, which features a 40-year-old playing a seven-year-old.
