Rencontre avec le peintre belge Paul Delvaux, valeur sûre à la bourse des tableaux et artiste international. Dans cet entretien, Paul Delvaux revient sur ses origines et son parcours. Parle de sa peinture où rien n’est jamais acquis et de l’érotisme qui se dégage de ses toiles. De sa peur de la toile blanche et de son goût pour l’antiquité que lui a transmis un de ses professeurs de latin et grec. Il évoque avec beaucoup de pudeur ses désignations à l’académie Picard et à la Grande Académie, sa célébrité. La caméra le suit également lors du vernissage de son exposition au Grand Palais à Paris auquel assiste la princesse Paola. Paul-Henri Spaak, ancien Premier ministre belge, et condisciple de Paul Delvaux à l’athénée de St Gilles évoque quelques souvenirs et l’impression que lui a laissée Paul Delvaux : “il était déjà un peu dans son rêve, pas sur le même plan que nous”.Read More »

The critical success in France of How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman made possible dos Santos’ delirious science-fiction vision of free love in a post-apocalyptic wilderness besieged by flesh hungry zombies contaminated by an unnamed nuclear attack. Who is Beta? follows two statuesque survivors drawn irresistibly together only to be entranced by the arrival and sudden disappearance of a third, the bewitching raven haired Beta. With its cartoon-like depiction of extreme violence and desire, Who is Beta? offers a heady Pop-infused companion to Hunger for Love. Yet beneath its giddy play of surfaces, dos Santos’ underappreciated film gradually reveals a darkly ambiguous metaphoric dimension. (Harvard Film Archive)Read More »

In this classic conspiracy thriller, screen icon Robert Redford (Tell Them Willie Boy is Here, The Sting, All the President’s Men, Indecent Proposal) stars as CIA Agent Joe Turner. Code name: Condor. When his entire office is massacred, Turner goes on the run from his enemies…and his so-called allies. After reporting the murders to his superiors, the organization wants to bring Condor in—but somebody is trying to take him out. In his frantic hunt for answers, and in a desperate race for his life, Turner abducts photographer Kathy Hale (Faye Dunaway, The Thomas Crown Affair, Eyes of Laura Mars), eventually seducing her into helping him. Every twist leads Condor to the end of his nerves…and will take you to the edge of your seat. And as he zeroes in on the staggering truth, he discovers there are some secrets people would kill to keep. Masterfully directed by Sydney Pollack (Jeremiah Johnson, Tootsie, Out of Africa, Havana) and also starring Cliff Robertson (Charly), John Houseman (The Paper Chase) and the icy Max von Sydow (Needful Things), 3 Days of the Condor endures as one of Hollywood’s finest tales of political paranoia.Read More »
