April 7: Au Revoir les Enfants
Au Revoir les Enfants: Louis Malle’s Au Revoir les Enfants is our other less-than-fifty-year-old film. From The Guardian:
“Louis Malle’s quasi-autobiographical masterpiece Au Revoir Les Enfants from 1987 is now re-released . . . It remains breathtakingly good. There is a miraculous, unforced ease and naturalness in the acting and direction; it is classic movie storytelling in the service of important themes, including the farewell that we must bid to our childhood, and to our innocence – a farewell repeated all our lives in the act of memory.”
Max Owre, UNC Professor and Executive Director of the Carolina Public Humanities program will lead the discussion.
May 5: Salvatore Giuliano
Francesco Rosi’s Salvatore Giuliano, a wonderful film about a Sicilian bandit done in a quasi-documentary style The speaker will be Henry Veggian, a professor of English and Comparative Literature at UNC
