How French
If you’re looking for something to do tonight to commemorate England’s declaration of war against France in 1756, Germany’s march into Northern France in 1940, and the birth of French Baywatch star David Charvet in 1972, howzabout a French movie?
Brad Steinbacher suggests the forgotten French noir flick Classe Tous Risques:
There are many reasons to see Northwest Film Forum’s revival of Claude Sautet’s Classe Tous Risques. Here’re three: (1) Its thief-running-from-his-past plot is bleak yet surprisingly humanistic; (2) the gorgeous black-and-white photography and European locales make you long for a time and a place you’ll never experience; and (3) it serves as a handy reminder that Jean-Paul Belmondo remains one of the coolest actors ever to grace the screen—in any language.
It plays tonight at 7 pm and 9 pm at Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Avenue, 267-5380.
Great idea! I've got NWFF passes - who wants to be my date? Frizzelle?
