Mademoiselle
By Marguerite Duras
October 15 - 22, 2014
Duras adapted Jean Genet’s story of a repressed schoolteacher who causes mayhem in her village and blames an Italian woodcutter, in this lurid and scathing indictment of humanity.
Duras adapted Jean Genet’s story of a repressed schoolteacher in rural France (an unflinching turn by Jeanne Moreau) who causes mayhem in her village and allows prejudiced locals to blame an Italian woodcutter (Ettore Manni), with horrific results. Director Tony Richardson renders a one-of-a-kind hybrid of arthouse drama and psychosexual thriller, which even its detractors found too audacious to ignore (Roger Ebert declared Moreau “flawless”). Fraught with Freudian symbols (snakes, felled pine trees) and a scathing vision of corrupt and unknowable humanity, Mademoiselle was nominated for the Palme d’Or and earned a BAFTA for Jocelyn Rickards’ costumes.
