Mademoiselle Chambon

A film by Stéphane Brizé

In French wIth EnglIsh subtItles

1 hr 41 mins, rated NR

An elegant, moving tale of an unexpected romance between a married man and his son’s teacher— and their attempt to keep their desires from turning into a full-blown affair. A modern-day Brief Encounter, crafted with enormous grace and subtlety by acclaimed French director Stéphane Brizé (I Am Not Here To Be Loved, Among Adults).

“This small, nearly perfect film is a reminder that personal upheavals are as consequential in people’s lives as shattering world events.”

– The New York Times

“People fall in love in every country, but nowhere is the experience put on film with the flawless style, empathy and emotion the French provide. Mademoiselle Chambon is the latest in that line of deeply moving romances, an exquisite chamber piece made with the kind of sensitivity and nuance that’s become almost a lost art.”

A film by Todd Solondz

In English

1 hr 37mins, rated NR

Alternately hilarious and tragic, outrageous and poignant, Todd Solandz’s Life During Wartime is an audacious comedy with unexpected resonance. Part sequel, part variation on his acclaimed and controversial Happiness, Solandz’s newest film assembles an amazing ensemble cast including Allison Janney, Shirley Henderson, Paul Reubens, Michael Kenneth Williams, Alley Sheedy, Charlotte Rampling, and Ciáran Hinds in an utterly hilarious exploration of the boundaries of forgiveness, family, and love.

“Unforgettable.” – Time

“What Solondz does so well is create unthinkable moments in a ‘Leave It to Beaver’ world, where unmentionables are aired in the most innocuous ways to startling effect.” – Los Angeles Times
