Juliet Berto Retrospective
This retrospective offers a career-spanning look back at one of the most singular leading actresses of the French New Wave. From her early collaborations with Jean-Luc Godard through legendary films made with Jacques Rivette, Juliet Berto brought a cerebral and humorous energy to her indelible performances. Alongside classics like Celine and Julie Go Boating and Weekend, she also appeared in radical leftist and feminist cinema, working with renowned filmmakers like Robert Kramer and Marin Karmitz. In conjunction with our run of a new restoration of her directorial debut, Neige, this career spanning retrospective offers a closer look at the on-screen work of an iconic artist.
