Let Cinema Go To Its Ruin:
The Cinema of Marguerite Duras
Des journées entières dans les arbres
6:30 PM
Duras’s narratively most conventional film is also perhaps her most personal, and its painful autobiographical components might explain the 22-year gap between writing the source novel and its translation onto the screen. A film about the waning of the French colonies, embodied here by an ageing, troublesome mother. With a brilliant performance by Bulle Ogier.
