Our weekly meetings consist of a screening of an arthouse film, followed by a discussion. The discussion is led by one of our members, or sometimes a guest speaker, and encourages members to share their thoughts and interpretations of the film.
Vivre sa vie (1962)
An episodic lude of poverty, patriarchy, and identity, Vivre sa vie is shot in the then fashionable verite style filmmaking, and revolves around the life of an aspiring young actress driven to prostitution. A Marxist at heart, we see Godard’s shiny Paris struck by consumerism, but alive with culture!
