French films shown in Lemmons 8
Don’t forget to join the university’s French and cinema programs for the second part of the Fox French Film Festival tonight (Friday) in Lemmons 8.
Opening the night will be The Chorus, a story taking place in the late ’40s, about little Pierre, a badly behaved boy who attends a dreary boarding school presided over by a strict headmaster. New teacher Mathieu brightens up the place and organizes a choir, leading to the discovery of Pierre’s musical talents. It shows at 7 p.m.
Also that night, at 9 p.m., Of Gods and Men will be featured, which tells the story of eight French Christian monks who live in harmony with their Muslim brothers in a monastery perched in the mountains of North Africa in the 1990s. When a crew of foreign workers is massacred by an Islamic fundamentalist group, fear sweeps though the region.
Filmgoers will also have the chance to indulge in crêpes and other French fare during the intermission between the shows.
