L’ENFANT (THE CHILD)

Alliance Française to present supper evening – movie with English subtitles.

The Alliance Française of Durban’s Cine-Supper-Club is to screen the film L’enfant (The Child) with subtitles in a supper theatre format on June 26.

The film is directed by Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne (2004) and stars Jérémie Renier and Déborah François. Winner of the prestigious 2005 Palme d’Or, it is a compassionate yet unsentimental account of guilt and redemption.

A powerful, gripping and suspenseful drama that packs a devastating emotional force, L’enfant (The Child) sees an outstanding performance by Jérémie Renier.. He plays Bruno, a young petty thief who has fathered a baby with his 18 year old girlfriend Sonia. But when the temptation of easy money leads him to commit an act of shocking recklessness, its grave repercussions force a remorseful Bruno into a desperate and dangerous attempt to make amends.

Dinner will be served after the movie. Tickets R90 (R80 members and students of Alliance). Booking and payment essential before June 24 (limited to 30 people). The menu includes: Seafood ‘’panier’’; Lamb blanquette; white rice; Fish blanquette (vegetarian only) and Chocolate duo for dessert.

L’enfant (The Child) can be seen at 17h30 on June 26 at the Alliance Française of Durban at 22 Sutton Crescent (corner Windermere Road). Bookings on 031 312 9582 or email: durban@alliance.org.za
