In a performance that won her a best-actress prize at Cannes, Jeanne Moreau stars as a wife and mother living in a steel town near Bordeaux who witnesses a murder and later gets to know another person (Jean-Paul Belmondo) who saw the same crime. This seldom-screened 1960 feature was directed by Peter Brook from a script he wrote with Marguerite Duras, adapting her novel; it was Duras' first screenplay after Hiroshima, mon amour and Brook's first feature after The Beggar's Opera, made seven years earlier.

Sorry there are no showtimes for Moderato Cantabile on Saturday, November 21.
