Cinémathèque de Nice – Acropolis – 3, esplanade Kennedy
In March 2012, the Cinémathèque of Nice is offering a retrospective of the iconic Hong Kong filmmaker, the elegant Wong Kar-Wai, director of the sublime In the Mood for Love.
Another highlight of the always rich program at the Cinémathèque of Nice is a weekend dedicated to Paul Schrader, who was a screenwriter for Sydney Pollack, Brian De Palma, and Scorsese before stepping behind the camera to make films that expose the flaws of our time: corruption, immorality… The Cinémathèque of Nice will present some of his rarest films on March 8 and 9.
