7.00pm - AGATHA ET LES LECTURES ILLIMIT�ES

Marguerite Duras (1981) 85 mins

One of Duras� most fascinating treatments of the dialectical relationship between sound & image, what is spoken & what is left unsaid, is an evocative �adaptation� of her then unperformed play, Agatha. Featuring Bulle Ogier & Yann Andr�a as the wandering protagonists, & Duras & Andr�a�s disembodied voices on the soundtrack, it is equally a haunting meditation on the relation between humanity & its geographic surroundings. Shot in Duras� beloved Trouville, whose remarkable array of beachside villas the writer-director considered �the most beautiful tracking� shot in �the history of cinema�.
