Savoy Theater
Part thriller, part comedy and part tragedy, Francois Truffaut’s 1962 film relates the adventures of mild-mannered Charlie Koller (Charles Aznavour), a former concert pianist reduced to playing honky-tonk rags in a side street bar. When his past catches up with him in the form of his wayward brother Chico, Charlie stumbles into the criminal underworld and a whirlwind love affair with admiring waitress Léna (Marie Dubois). Both a sly tribute to American film noir and a rethinking of its key elements, Truffaut’s energetic second feature is pure “French New Wave.” 92 minutes, in French with subtitles. Sponsored by The Black Door. Community Partner: Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Post-film event: GMFF Programmer Rick Winston will discuss the film after the Saturday show. Review
