Between Two Worlds (Limited tickets)
Marianne (Juliette Binoche), a successful writer, goes undercover as a contract cleaner in Caen in northern France to research her next book, an exposé of France’s employment crisis, the gig economy and the trials of the minimum wage treadmill. Working on ferries crossing between Ouistreham and Portsmouth, Marianne meets Christèle (Hélène Lambert), a single mother with whom she bonds.
I Want to Talk About Duras
This terrific cinematic rendering of an audio conversation about a love story where the subject (Marguerite Duras) is absent leaves us wondering, where is the truth?
