The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to the next screening of its Philm Club:
LE FEU FOLLET (1963, Louis Malle, 108 min.)
Friday, March 1, 6 P.M.
Zrinyi 14, room 412.
Criterion description:
"After garnering international acclaim for such seminal crowd-pleasers as The Lovers and Zazie dans le métro, Louis Malle gave his fans a shock with The Fire Within (Le feu follet), a penetrating study of individual and social inertia. Maurice Ronet (Elevator to the Gallows), in an implosive, haunted performance, plays Alain Leroy, a self-destructive writer who resolves to kill himself and spends the next twenty-four hours trying to reconnect with a host of wayward friends. Unsparing in its portrait of Alain’s inner turmoil and shot with remarkable clarity, The Fire Within is one of Malle’s darkest and most personal films."
