"La Folie Almayer" by Chantal Akerman
Adapted from the novel by Joseph Conrad (La Folie Almayer : Histoire d'une rivière d'Orient, 1985).
Somewhere in Southeast Asia, at the edge of a tumultuous river, an European clings to his dreams of wealth for love for his daughter. A story of passion, of moral ruin and madness.Thanks to the strength of this family tragedy, to the formal freedom of the film director, and to the talent of her actors, this gives an inventive and powerful film, where violence and beauty are brutallly side by side. A real shock.
Screening in the presence of a representative of Shellac (production, distribution and film editing of independent cinema)
