Come join us this for this month's French film Le Genou de Claire!
"Rohmer's haunting film is perhaps the cinema's nearest approximation to Proustian discourse" started Sign & Sound in their review. Over thirty years later, Raoul Ruiz's Actual Adaptation of Proust, Time Regained, may have changed that, but its no less accurate a summation as there is something faintly Proustian about proceedings. The fifth of Rohmer's six moral tales, Claire's Knee is a beautifully shot, dip into the waters of, not only Lake Geneva, but the notion of desire itself and how it can manifest in the strangest ways.
