Philippe Garrel's THE PLOUGH (LE GRAND CHARLOT) at Film at Lincoln Center

Examining family history and turmoil has fueled much of the greatest work of Philippe Garrel (REGULAR LOVERS, THE SALT OF TEARS), whose new film pays tribute to his late father (and regular cast member) Maurice’s background as a puppeteer. Simon (Aurélien Recoing), the head of a puppet troupe, works alongside his children, all played by Philippe’s actual children: son Louis (Louis Garrel) and daughters Martha (Esther Garrel) and Lena (Lena Garrel, making an auspicious first appearance in the Garrel family filmography).

Pierre Clémenti Series Screening at the Museum of Modern Art Oct. 13-31

Pierre Clémenti’s magnetic screen presence captured the imagination of countless moviegoers during the cultural heyday of the 1960s and ’70s. His roles are as unforgettable as they are varied, brushing up against the sacred and the profane in characters often adapted from mythology, literature, theater, and religion. Angel, demon, hippie, rebel, poet: a child of 1960s counterculture, Clémenti played—and was—all of them. Behind his striking physical performances, which bore the imprint of Antonin Artaud, Lettrist cinema, and the Living Theater, was an ardent, lifelong commitment to creative freedom.

Philippe Garrel's THE SALT OF TEARS (2019) Streaming from Film Forum

“Philippe Garrel, a prodigy of the French cinema (whose work was first included in the New York Film Festival in 1970, when he was twenty-two), has developed a spare method, a self-imposed classicism of dramatic intimacy… [THE SALT OF TEARS] rises very high with its fusion of brusque candor and unspoken yearnings…feels like a revisitation of the austerities, aspirations, and humiliations of an earlier age, a return to primordial experiences and artistic ambitions… The film also happens to have one of the best dance scenes in the recent cinema.”
