BE CURIOUS

One Thursday a month, the Palace invites you to discover real cinema. Never-before-seen or heritage titles by Belgian filmmakers.

Session organized in memory of filmmaker Chantal Akerman, who passed away on October 5, 2015. Presented in English on video by Andrew Bujalski, director of the mumblecore films Funny Ha Ha and Computer Chess, who studied under Chantal Akerman at Harvard in the late 1990s.

Synopsis:  A young girl leaves her town after a difficult love affair and takes refuge in a room in another town. Later she leaves this room, stops a truck on the side of the highway and spends most of the night with the truck driver, a man who could have been a friend.

At the end of the road, she finds, probably for a short time, the girl she really loves.

JE TU IL ELLE tells the story of the last three moments of a young girl’s adolescence, painfully approaching adulthood, and who will have to give up something of herself to conform to it.
