Belle Toujours
Friday, June 27, 7:00
Cleveland Museum of Art Lecture Hall

Directed by Manoel de Oliveira, with Michel Piccoli and Bulle Ogier. This “sequel” to Luis Buñuel’s Belle de Jour takes place 38 years after the events of that 1967 film. Séverine, the bourgeois wife who worked days as a high-class prostitute, and Husson, the sadistic libertine who knew of her secret life, meet by chance in Paris and go to dinner. As they dine, repentant Séverine tries to learn whether the devilish Husson ever told her paralytic husband about her old day job. This elegant, autumnal work is at once a wry tribute to Buñuel’s original film and a moving evocation of the passage of time.
