Ciné-critique Le Ciel est à vous  Ce film, tourné pendant l'occupation allemande lors de la seconde guerre mondiale, est inspiré par un fait réel: le record établi en 1938 par l'aviatrice Andrée Dupeyron (Madeleine Renaud), femme d'un garagiste de Mont-de-Marsan (Charles Vanel). Grémillon nous plonge au coeur de la vie de province, avec ses mesquineries, lâchetés et rêves.
Movie in French with English subtitles, discussion in French.

C Churned out quick and cheap on the coarse paper from which its name derives, pulp fiction was made for the movies. Filmmakers discovered a vulgar poetry in the damaged vixens, trigger-happy antiheroes, and unpredictable psychopaths in magazine serials and dime novels from the first half of the 20th century, and bringing them to twisted life on film redefined crime drama around the world. Walk down these mean streets with us for this celebration of 19 sensational pulp stories that blasted their way to the screen. ALL DETAILS HERE MOVIE NIGHTS @ BRUCE MUSEUM
In Partnership with Connecticut Film FestivalIn partnership with the Connecticut Film Festival and Some Things Fishy Catering, the Bruce Museum will host Movie Nights in February and March.
