FRA | 1958 | dir. Louis Malle, with Jeanne Moreau, Maurice Ronet, Georges Poujouly
Florence and her ex-paratrooper lover Julien scheme to murder her husband by faking a suicide, but a forgotten rope and malfunctioning lift conspire to complicate their plans. In his mesmerising debut feature, Louis Malle brought together the beauty of Jeanne Moreau, the camerawork of Henri Decaë, and a new legendary score by Miles Davis.
Followed by a discussion with Nick Walker (Rochester Kino Cinema Club)
