REGULAR LOVERS

Alliance Française will screen the film Les Amants Reguliers (Regular Lovers) by Phillip Garnel on February 23. This 178 minute film was awarded Best Production 2005 at Lyon d'Argent.

The setting is 1968 and 1969 in Paris during and after the student and trade union revolt. François is a 20 year-old poet, dodging military service. He takes to the barricades but won't throw a Molotov cocktail at the police. He smokes opium and talks about revolution with his friend, Antoine, who has an inheritance and a flat where François can stay. François meets Lilie, a sculptor who works at a foundry to support herself. They fall in love. A year passes; François continues to write, talk, smoke, and be with Lilie. Opportunities come to Lilie: what will she and François do?

The film will be shown on February 23 at 19h00 (doors open at 18h00) in the garden of Alliance Française de Durban. Tickets R20 (free for members and students of Alliance Française)
