Jerome (Jean-Claude Brialy) decides to prepare for a lifetime of matrimony by enjoying one last vacation by himself. Upon arriving at his lakeside destination, however, he finds Aurora (Aurora Cornu), a love from his past who is staying nearby. Through Aurora, Jerome is introduced to two teenage sisters, Laura (Béatrice Romand) and Claire (Laurence De Monaghan). Although Laura is smitten with Jerome, it is Claire — or, more precisely, her knee — that fascinates the soon-to-be-married man.
This special collaboration between Montclair Film and La Cinémathèque celebrates The French New Wave, one of the most important movements of 1960s European cinema. Its visionary directors reimagined film in a more real and intellectual way. Watch the films and then discuss the nuances of how these films represent the movement.
