Jim Jarmusch - USA – 1984 – fiction – black&white – 88’ – OV – STT FR / NL
A young Jim Jarmusch directs this accomplished film, at once laconic and funny. A young Hungarian woman turns up in the New York apartment of her cousin and his equally clueless mate. The three head for Cleveland, where Eva’s aunt lives, and then she leaves again, after an existential and geographic road movie where love timidly shows its face. The black-and-white photography is by Tom DiCillo, and it’s perfectly suited to Jarmusch’s charming brand of minimalism

Max Ophuls - FR – 2002 – fiction – black&white – 99’ – OV
Max Ophuls in top form for a film at once beautiful to look at and emotionally accurate. Adapted from Louise de Vilmorin’s novel about a high society woman secretly in debt and forced to sell the earrings her husband bought her. But the earrings’ trajectory will bring her unexpected woes. The sublime Danielle Darrieux is the heroine of this tragic tale, directed with a master’s touch.
With: Vittorio de Sica, Danielle Darrieux, Charles Boyer
