Avec deux cabinets dédiés à l'histoire monétaire française, de la Révolution à l'arrivée de l'euro.
French Aperitif Thursday parties at our Greenpoint location launches this coming thursday May 17th and then every Thursday for the all summer..
Selected as this year’s Berlin Film Festival's Opening Night film, FAREWELL, MY QUEEN marks the return of acclaimed director Benoît Jacquot (A Single Girl, Seventh Heaven, Sade, Deep in the Woods,) and brilliantly captures the passions, debauchery, occasional glimpses of nobility and ultimately the chaos that engulfed the court of Marie Antoinette in the final days before the full-scale outbreak of the Revolution.
Based on the best-selling novel by Chantal Thomas, the film stars Léa Seydoux as one of Marie’s ladies-in-waiting, seemingly an innocent but quietly working her way into her mistress’s special favors, until history tosses her fate onto a decidedly different path. With the action moving effortlessly from the gilded drawing rooms of the nobles to the back quarters of those who serve them, this is a period film at once accurate and sumptuous in its visual details and modern in its emotions. Diane Kruger's gives her best performance to date as the ill-fated Queen and Virginie L

Now on view at Underline Gallery as part of our "The Good American" exhibition are two works by Colombian/ French American artist Claudia Vargas entitled Retirement and Shopping I. Through her signature crude, stick figure drawings, Vargas confronts loaded issues such as consumerism and war with an unmitigated sense of expressiveness. Both part of her Consumer series, these works examine our national fixation on the accumulation of material goods and the desensitization that results from mindless consumption. According to the artist, "We have banalized consumption in our society and little consciousness remains about how “the object” has invaded our lives and consumed much of our time, visual and auditory space, guiding many of our exchanges with each other and nature."
Vargas received her MFA from the École Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris where she studied for six years. She has been actively involved in international residencies, having completed a one month residency in Tibet at th

Dispirited by the critical and commercial failure of Garçon!, Sautet flirted with retirement before the enterprising young producer Philippe Carcassone lured him back with a simple proposition: to make a film with actors, screenplay collaborators and technicians he had never worked with before. The result, A Few Days with Me, would prove the beginning of a late-career renaissance for the director. In a dexterous comic performance that recalls the future collaborations of Mathieu Amalric and director Arnaud Desplechin (Kings and Queen, A Christmas Tale), Daniel Auteuil stars as Martial Pasquier, the eccentric scion of a prominent supermarket-owning family. Newly released from a psychiatric hospital when the film begins, Martial is dispatched to the sleepy provincial town of Limoges to perform a routine check-up on one of

Given the number of scenes in his movies that take place in cafés, bars and restaurants, it was probably only a matter of time before Sautet got around to setting an entire film in and around a dining establishment. In the last of his three collaborations with the director, Yves Montand stars as Alex, a former tap dancer turned head waiter of a popular Paris bistro—a simple man who dreams of someday opening a small amusement park by the sea. When his hands aren’t full of hot plates, Alex is no less busy juggling the various women in his life, including a young dancer (Dominique Laffin) who’s just left him for another man, and an older married woman (Rosy Varte) he sees on the sly. Then one day the beautiful English teacher Claire (the lovely Nicole Garcia) blows into his life and, for the first time in a long time, Alex may actually be in love. A critical a
