Embarking on an Arctic expedition, sleeping on an ice floe, wrestling a bear – just a day in the life of the researcher and polar expert Coline Morel. One day, she shows up unannounced in her home village in the Jura mountains to visit her brothers Basile and Lolo, whom she has not seen for years. While there, she unexpectedly encounters her first love, Christophe, learns that she has been fired and is dumped by her boyfriend. Confused and unable to reveal the true reason for her return, Coline spirals out of control and, in a night of unhinged excess, ends up causing utter chaos in the village. The days pass and the former adventurer slowly withdraws into complete silence. Then, after a hike with her brothers, Coline vanishes without a trace, taking her secret with her into the snow-covered expanses of Greenland. As the Inuit proverb says: If you are afraid, change your way. Ultimately, this journey will turn out to be the most important of her life.
Lost in Frenchlation and Ciné-Balade have teamed together to celebrate one of the greatest French directors, “the grandmother of New Wave”, Agnès Varda. Through the streets of Montparnasse, Denfert and Vavin, we will travel to the filming locations of her feminist films. Being a local for more than 60 years, Varda liked to say that by understanding the people, we better understand the place, and by understanding the place, we can better understand the people. Let's go to the discovery of Agnès by viewing film clips in an open-air setting! The walk starts at 4:30pm and lasts for approximately 2hours. The screening at Cinéma L'Epée de Bois starts at 8pm with drinks at Tournbride bar at 7pm. You can purchase tickets directly at the cinema when you arrive or here: https://achat.cine-epeedebois.fr/reserver/F49901/D1750788000/VF/264944/
Please not that the tickets for the movie ARE NOT INCLUDED in the tickets for the tour, and must be purchased separately.
Looking forward to meeting you there!
