Directed by Christophe Honoré
With Louis Garrel
(2008) 90min
Honoré reunites the cast from his musical Love Songs for this retelling of the 17th century novel La Princesse de Clèves set in a modern-day high school. New student Junie (Seydoux) gets into a relationship with mild-mannered Otto, but falls in love with handsome young teacher Némours (Garrel). Populated by a hot young cast, Honoré’s film presents bed-hopping at its extreme. However, all of this sexual abandon leads to tragic consequences. US Theatrical Premiere!
Please note: The Q&A with Louis Garrel on Sun, Mar 8 has
been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Time Out on La Belle personne
