A Woman is a Woman - Part of the Albertine Cinémathèque French Film Festival

The Department of French & Italian and the International Film Series have partnered to bring in the Albertine Cinémathèque French Film Festival! Designed to expand access to French cinema and support film programming at American colleges and universities, Albertine Cinémathèque’s annual film selection engages with the greatest issues of our time while nurturing an enduring love for this diverse and evolving art form. Albertine Cinémathèque is part of the French For All initiative by Villa Albertine and Albertine Foundation and is made possible by the support of the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée (CNC).

Films were selected for their cultural and cinematic significance and will include special introductions from University faculty. All shows are also FREE for all to attend!

A WOMAN IS A WOMAN Synopsis: From Jean-Luc Godard. When Angela (Anna Karina) wants to have a baby, but finds her boyfriend Émile (Jean-Claude Brialy) an unwilling participant, she goes to his friend Alfred (Jean-Paul Belmondo), proving the lengths to which she'll go to realize her dream. Festooned with enough eccentric musical moments to satisfy the most avant of gardists, including a Charles Aznavour song almost arbitrarily rocketing on and off the soundtrack and Michel Legrand's pre-Umbrellas of Cherbourg score thundering into split-second breaks in dialogue, cinematic in-jokes galore, and plenty of anarchic humor, A Woman is a Woman is a cinephile's dream film.

A jeu d'esprit of the New Wave that won a jury prize from the Berlin Film Festival for its "originality, youth, audacity and impertinence," while the enchanting Karina (in her first major role) was named Best Actress.
