Saturday 4 August 3pm Sauve Qui Peut (la Vie) (18+) Jean luc Godard’s ever relevant “second first film”. “A stunning, original work … breathtakingly beautiful and often very funny … I trust it will outlive us all” (Vincent Canby, New York Times). Saturday 4 August 6pm Loulou (M) With Gérard Depardieu as the irresponsible layabout. “Electrifying … All the time that Huppert and Depardieu are on the screen, they radiate the most dangerously anarchic sexuality one can imagine” (Sarris). Sunday 5 August 3pm Entre Nous/At First Sight (15+) Diane Kurys’ wonderful film about a deep and abiding friendship between two women in the 1950s. “Written, directed and acted with a touch usually seen only in the films of Renoir, Pagnol, or Truffaut … Entre Nous is intelligent, adult cinema” (James Monaco, The Movie Guide). Sunday 5 August 6pm Saint-Cyr The King’s Daughters (18+) Gorgeous historical drama. “Absorbing … a study in power, pride, fear and error .. [with] a compelling central performance from Isabelle Huppert … [She] quietly commands attention as she slides from worldly poise and absolute certainty about her mission to increasingly fearful behaviour” (David Rooney, Variety). Wednesday 8 August 7:30 La Ceremonie (MA15+) A mesmerizing psychological thriller, Claude Chabrol’s La Cérémonie was widely hailed as the French master’s best film in years, and was recently cited as “one of the great films of the last decade” (James Quandt, Cinematheque Ontario).

Bharathanatyam is widely practised in South India, being the most ancient of all the classical dance forms in India, based on Natya Shastra, the Bible of the classical Indian dance. With many years of training and study Prakash Subramaniam is sure to give an impressive performance.
