35 Shots of Rum
The Female Gaze
July 26 - August 9, 2018
Godard’s textured cinematography casts a lovely gossamer spell on Denis’s delicate film, which begins in the territory of Renoir’s La Bête humaine and develops into an enchanted evocation of Ozu’s Late Spring.
Introduction by Agnès Godard on July 26
When is a rice cooker more than just a rice cooker? When it’s in the masterful hands of Claire Denis, who somehow transforms it into a moving metaphor for the evolving relationship between a Parisian train conductor (Alex Descas) and his devoted twenty-something daughter (Mati Diop) as he gently nudges her out of the nest and each tests the waters of new relationships. Warmed by the ember-glow of Agnès Godard’s beautifully burnished cinematography, Denis’s delicately bittersweet take on the Ozu-style family drama conveys worlds of meaning and emotion—attraction, heartache, loss, hope—in a mere glance, a gesture, and, yes, a kitchen appliance.
