Alexander Payne will be on hand to introduce the series before the October 4 screening!
Alexander says: “I haven’t seen it since it came out, but its spell has never left me. A companion piece to Lean’s SUMMERTIME.”
“In [LE RAYON VERT], Rohmer tells the story of Delphine, a discontented young woman who has just broken up with her boyfriend. She lives in Paris, which empties every August as the Parisians stage a mass exodus to the mountains or the seashore. She makes plans to spend her holiday with a girlfriend, but then, at the last moment, the girlfriend switches plans and Delphine is left to spend her vacation by herself.”
