Director Marguerite Duras’s most celebrated work is a mesmerising experience with few stylistic precedents in the history of cinema.
Within the insular walls of a lavish, decaying embassy in 1930s India, the French ambassador’s wife (Delphine Seyrig) staves off ennui through affairs with multiple men – with the overpowering torpor broken only by a startling eruption of madness.
French with English subtitles.
Screening as part of French Film Festival UK which celebrates the best of French language cinema.
