Le Théâtre des matières
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Jean-Claude Biette
1977 / 81min / DCP
“It’s hard not to draw comparisons between the theater company so lovingly observed in this film, its troupe members and director fretting endlessly about art, money, and each other, and the Diagonale itself, nascent in one of its very first productions. Respected critic and Trafic magazine co-founder Biette makes his directorial debut here with the aid of other future directors including Jean-Claude Guiguet and Noël Simsolo, and a dedication to Biette’s old friend and collaborator Pier Paolo Pasolini. Of the many films about theater and the shifting boundaries between art and life, few have come down so firmly on the side of life.”—Series curators Bingham Bryant and Graham Carter
Introduced by series curator Graham Carter on Friday, September 8th
