Close-Up celebrates the remarkable career Jeanne Moreau,by screening three of her films from the 1960s; the decade in which she established herself as an international screen name

Over her remarkable career Jeanne Moreau has worked with many of cinema’s most important directors (Louis Malle, Francois Truffaut, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Joseph Losey, Jacques Demy among others), including Orson Welles who described her as "the greatest actress in the world". Close-Up presents three of her films from the 1960s, the decade in which she established herself as an international screen name with films such as Jules Et Jim, Bay Of Angels and The Trial.


LA NOTTE
Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni
1961 | Itlay | 117 mins | B&W


Marcello Mastroianni and Jeanne Moreau are a married couple in crisis. He is a renowned author and intellectual; she, his wife. Over one day and night they re-examine their emotional bonds and question if love is possible in the modern world. Filmed by cinematographer Gianni di Venanzo (8 1/2, Giulietta Degli Spiriti), Antonioni’s La Notte is both a thorough study of Italy’s upper middle-class and modern man’s desolation.
