Entre les Murs de François Begaudeau

  • dimanche, 24 aout

  • 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

  • Virtual Meeting en français via Zoom - For Zoom meeting details or additional information, please email virginieperezwoods@ou.edu

  • Entre les murs s'inspire de l'ordinaire tragi-comique d'un professeur de français. Dans ce roman écrit au plus près du réel, François Bégaudeau révèle et investit l'état brut d'une langue vivante, la nôtre, dont le collège est la plus fidèle chambre d'échos.

  • Published in 2006, it won the Prix France Culture/Télérama. The English-language version of Entre les murs was published in 2009 under the title The Class.

  • In 2008, it was adapted to film by Laurent Cantet, also called Entre les murs; this film received the Palme d'Or at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.

Au Bonheur des Dames d’Emile Zola

  • dimanche, 24 aout

  • 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

  • Virtual Meeting en français via Zoom - For Zoom meeting details or additional information, please email virginieperezwoods@ou.edu

  • Octave Mouret affole les femmes de désir. Son grand magasin parisien, Au Bonheur des Dames, est un paradis pour les sens. Les tissus s’amoncellent, éblouissants, délicats. Le succès est immense, mais le personnel connaît une vie d’enfer.

  • Denise échoue de Valognes dans cette fournaise, démunie mais tenace. Zola fait de la jeune fille et de son puissant patron amoureux d’elle le symbole du modernisme et des crises qu’il suscite.

  • Oklahoma City Museum of Art (map)

25th Anniversary: In the Mood for Love + In the Mood for Love 2001 at OKCMOA

  • Returning to OKCMOA's Noble Theater in celebration of its 25th anniversary, Wong Kar-wai's richly romantic and profoundly influential modern classic In the Mood for Love is now followed by In the Mood for Love 2001, a nine-minute coda that, until now, only screened during the director's 2001 Cannes masterclass.

  • In Cantonese, Shanghainese, French, and Spanish with English subtitles (107 minutes)

  • “Delicately mannered and visually extravagant, Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. With its aching musical soundtrack and exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-bin, this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past 25 years of cinema. Screening in a director-supervised 4K restoration.” —Janus Films
