Thursday, May 17 – 7:30 PM
New 35mm Print! LE DIABLE PROBABLEMENT (THE DEVIL, PROBABLY), 1977, Olive Films/Film Desk, 95 min. The most controversial film of Bresson’s career, LE DIABLE PROBABLEMENT was off-limits to viewers under the age of 18 in France as an incitement to suicide. A film that caused Rainer Werner Fassbinder to threaten to walk off the Berlin Film Festival jury if his support for it was not made public, it traces the last six months in the life of a young Parisian in search of his own demise, who rejects the conventional solutions offered by politics and religion, saying “My sickness is that I see clearly.” In French with English subtitles.
