Golden Eighties (French With English Subtitles)
Free tickets - Protected content
French movie with English subtitles, rated PG
Director Chantal Akerman, Protected content , Belgium, 96 min, 35mm-to-digital, colour, Delphine Seyrig, Lio, Fanny Cottençon
Following her masterworks of the Protected content , Akerman collaborated with the unlikely dream team of screenwriter Leora Barish, veteran François Truffaut scenarist Jean Gruault, and Cahiers du Cinéma critic Pascal Bonitzer. They surprised audiences with this Fujicolor pop musical. Golden eighties plays out in a mall where the silks are expensive and the talk is cheap, where love lives are tangled and hearts are exchanged as readily as shop leases. Nothing stays hidden for long on the retail floor, whose young female attendants obsessively spy on each other, eventually catching an illicit affair in action. Word spreads fast, and the women denounce the male perpetrator in one of the musical’s most memorable numbers: ‘Men are all beasts!’
The 7.15pm session will be introduced by Isabella Trimboli, a writer who has contributed to publications such as The Nation, Times Literary Supplement, and New Left Review, among others.
