SUMMARY:Leading Ladies in European Film Series - The Captive
DTSTAMP:20241223T043305Z
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240320
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of International Women's Day 2024\, the House o
	f European History proudly presents three extraordinary and very different
	 European films\, written and directed by three leading ladies in genuine 
	European cinema. The Czech director Věra Chytilová (1929-2014)\, the Belgi
	an director Chantal Akerman (1950-2015) and the French director Céline Sci
	amma (1978)\, representing three generations of powerful and independent E
	uropean filmmaking from the 1960s to today.\n\nEach film will be introduce
	d in English by film historian and film curator Wouter Hessels (RITCS & IN
	SAS) and followed by a brief discussion and Q&A. Registration in advance i
	s mandatory\, the event is free of charge. Register for the movie. “The Ca
	ptive / La Captive” was inspired by “La Prisonnière” - the fifth and final
	 volume of “À la recherche du temps perdu” by Marcel Proust. Chantal Akerm
	an transforms this work of world literature into a mesmerising study of vo
	yeurism\, control and sexual obsession. Akerman was director of “Jeanne Di
	elman\, 23 Commerce Quay\, 1080”\, which was recently voted ‘greatest film
	 of all time’ according to Sight & Sound's poll of 1000 film critics.\n\nT
	he film is centered on the relationship between a possessive young man Sim
	on (Stanislas Merhar) and his lover Ariane (Sylvie Testud). With this abun
	dant plot\, full of hilariously absurd details and references to Alfred Hi
	tchcock’s “Vertigo”\, Akerman once again proves her talent for subjects li
	ke the destructiveness of love and the complex nature of sexuality.\n\n
