- Location: The Sunshine Cinema
- Description:
The death of his mother draws a young Frenchman (Demy) back to his childhood home in Los Angeles as he prepares to wrap up his mother’s estate. Things become complicated when he discovers that she was very fond of a woman named Lola (Hayek), who appears in her will. Martin combs Los Angeles for his mother’s mysterious friend and companion, finding no trace of her. Traumatized at the sight of his mother’s body in the morgue, he drives to Tijuana in search of Lola, thinking she should inherit his mother’s apartment. But is Lola, his childhood playmate, truly the woman who brightened his mother’s life in Los Angeles — or is she a darker femme fatale, echoing the titular screen character from one of Jacques Demy’s key works?

FRANCE | FRENCH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | FORMAT: 35MM | 110 MINUTESOpens June 22 for one week only! New 35mm print!
This autobiographical film from French master Maurice Pialat (A nos amours) is the harrowing account of a relationship in breakdown starring Jean Yanne (who won the best actor award at Cannes for this role). Official Selection: New York Film Festival, 1972.

Be warned, though: It’s deeply upsetting, featuring the kind of emotional brutality we just don’t see in movies anymore." —New York Magazine
"An opportunity for a new audience to discover one of the great lions of international cinema." —The Village Voice
"A uniquely brilliant filmmaker." —Film Comment
