Room A162
Free admission

Celebrate 50 Years of the French “New Wave”! In 1959, many writers at “Cahiers du Cinema” released their first films, combining homages to directors like John Ford and Howard Hawks with a playful spirit indelibly their own. While films such as Breathless and The 400 Blows made Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut famous, Claude Chabrol was acclaimed as a maker of stylish, Hitchcock-influenced thrillers. His Web of Passion features gorgeous color cinematography and New Wave icon Jean-Paul Belmondo as a drifter involved in murder and obsession at a seemingly idyllic, family-run vineyard in the countryside.

This film is being shown in conjunction with CLC’s celebration of French Week. For more information concerning French Week, please call Maria Manterola at 847.543.2291 or email her at mmanterola@clcillinois.edu.
