FILM EVENT:
Philippe Garrel’s three-hour tribute to the revolutionary spirit of 1968 Paris stars his son, Louis, as a poet with intense, inchoate feelings for the student movement and for a long-limbed sculptor named Lilie (Clotilde Hesme). Their hopeful coming together and eventual disillusioned parting is a metaphor for the waxing and waning of the movement itself—depicted in scenes of looting, burning, and opium-filled nights—and believe it or not, it’s not terribly corny. Rapturously shot in gorgeous black-and-white by William Lubtchansky, the film is a multifaceted, poignant statement about the perils of personal and political idealism. — Tayt Harlin ( New York Mag) TODAY At MOMA Museum of Modern Art 2PM last show
