Jeanne Moreau is known for her involvement in avant-garde, French New Wave films that excite, titillate and invoke thought. In ACMI’s fist Focus on… for 2013 the cinema will show a series of eight films that launched the star to stardom.
Kicking off the season will be Elevator to the Gallows, a tale about a wife’s schemes to murder her husband. A fitting film for Valentine’s Day obviously. Elevator to the Gallows launched Moreau’s career internationally, landing her roles in La Nouvelle and The Lovers, an epiphanic housewife story.
