One of France’s most provocative
directors, Bruno Dumont will appear
tonight at the Walter Reade Theater in conjunction
with his visit to several New York area film schools.
He will introduce his film La Vie de Jesus
(1997; 96m), as well as talk about his other films
and his approach to directing.
Winner of France’s Jean Vigo Award for Best
First Film, La Vie de Jesus is set in northern
France, where a Flemish reticence hangs over languid
landscapes and stagnant towns. The protagonist, Freddy,
has epileptic fits, a deep love for his blonde girlfriend
Marie, and a crew of buddies, unemployed 20-year-olds
like him, with whom he careens around the countryside
on mopeds. Dumont, who also wrote the script, captures
with astonishing clarity the texture of small-town
life with its modest yet unrealized dreams, offhand
eroticism, and a seething undertone of violence.
