The Dirty Stories of Jean Eustache
June 23 - July 13, 2023
Featuring Le Jardin des Délices de Jerome Bosch (1979), Alix’s Pictures (1980), and Offre d’emploi (1980).
Le Jardin des Délices de Jerome Bosch
Jean Eustache, 1979, France, 35m
Hieronymus Bosch’s most emblematic painting is described by Jean-Noël Picq.
Alix’s Pictures
Jean Eustache, 1980, France, 20m
An “essay in the shape of a hoax,” Eustache’s experimental short shows the photographer Alix Cléo Roubaud displaying and describing a series of her photographs to Eustache’s son, Boris. In a riff on Hollis Frampton’s Nostalgia that calls back to Eustache’s career-long experiments with representation and reality, Cléo Roubaud’s narration becomes increasingly out of sync with the imagery on-screen.
Offre d’emploi
Jean Eustache, 1980, France, 21m
Unaware of an employer’s recruitment methods, a man is looking for a job. The film was commissioned by INA on the theme of the labor market, which Eustache takes pleasure in diverting.
For $30, receive one ticket to a film in The Dirty Stories of Jean Eustache and a select menu item at Café Paradiso, located in FLC’s Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center. Learn more about our dinner and a movie combo here.
