. CLUB FILMOSOPHY http://www.filmosophy.org An evening dedicated to revealing the thinking behind great filmmaking Tonight: Claire Denis's The Intruder (2004) Hosted by Daniel Frampton with guest speaker Laura McMahon from Cambridge University Free, 7pm Monday 28 April 2008 Roxy Bar and Screen 128-132 Borough High Street London SE1 1LB 020 7407 4057 http://www.roxybarandscreen.com Tube: Borough or London Bridge Inspired by a memoir written by the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, The Intruder concerns Louis, a man with a shady past who lives in a cabin in the Jura mountains near the Swiss border. He is estranged from his son, who is married to a border guard, and lusts after a neighbour who breeds huskys (though he holds the affections of a visiting pharmacist). But he realises he needs a heart transplant and hires a beautiful and mysterious Russian black marketeer to find him a new one. This leads him onto another search, back into his past... Claire Denis's film is both haunting and elusive, and paints a subtle and elliptical picture of it's mysterious protagonist. But it is the film itself, sensuous and poetic, that holds us and tells us things about Louis beyond any need for dialogue or explanation. Following the film will be a short talk by Laura McMahon from Cambridge University, and then afterwards the audience are invited to take part in a free flowing discussion. The evening is hosted by Daniel Frampton, founding editor of the salon- journal Film-Philosophy (est. 1996) <http://www.film-philosophy.com>, and author of Filmosophy (Wallflower Press, 2006) <http://www.filmosophy.org >. . . ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
