'Les diaboliques'

Studio 5

Henri-Georges Clouzot - F – 1954 – fiction / fictie – n&b / zwart & wit – 117’ – VO /OV FR – NL OND

Clouzot takes the original story by crime writers Boileau-Narcejac and turns it into a set-gripping, nerve-wracking drama. A tyranical school director (the chilling Paul Meurisse) is having an affair with one of his students (Simone Signoret). His wife (Véra Clouzot) seems to accept the situation until the two women form a pact. The characters are truly abject and the direction is as tight as a tensed rope.
With: Simone Signoret, Paul Meurisse, Charles Vanel

'Les films rêvés' Unscreened documentary

Studio 5

Eric Pauwels - B – 2009 – documentaire – couleur + n&b / kleur + zwart & wit - 180’ (+ entracte 10’) – VO / OV FR

This film is like a depiction of the mental universe of the director. Lyrical, elegiac and didactic, it uses Ulysses as the emblem for various imaginary journeys, some dreamt, others read, some filmed, others not. Like a Bayeux tapestry of the soul, this is a film of the films that Pauwels made and didn’t make but that haunt his imagination, the first person narration adding to the gentle, evanescent poetic mood. The novels of Borges feel close. With : Jean Rouch, Boris Lehman

Peter Strickland - ROM/GB/H – 2009 – fictie / fiction – kleur / couleur – 82’ – VO / OV – NL OND / STT FR

First film by Briton Peter Strickland who sets his unnerving story in idyllic and wild Romanian countryside. The titular heroine sets out with her son sets out in search of the men who raped her 10 years earlier.
