Bertrand Tavernier retrospective at the Quad: 17 films (14 on 35mm) with Taviernier in person

Film and Nothing But: Bertrand Tavernier
June 20-29
The Quad celebrates the legendary French filmmaker with the biggest retrospective of his work in New York in decades: 17 films—14 on 35mm—plus a sidebar with four of the director's favorites and Tavernier in person

Perhaps no other filmmaker knows more about the history and culture of French cinema than Bertrand Tavernier. Incisive, intelligent, and deeply humanistic, Tavernier’s films illuminate personal and social relationships and suggest fresh interpretations of the past, while percolating with some of the most memorable performances in contemporary cinema. Tavernier makes films to learn about the world. They are challenges to himself and have been praised by the various communities they describe – diplomats, detectives, schoolteachers, jurists, jazz musicians, and historians, among others.

In honor of his new documentary, My Journey Through French Cinema, opening at the Quad on June 23, we're proud to present this comprehensive retrospective of his work—plus "Tavernier Treasures," a sidebar of four of the director's French favorites: It Happened at the Inn (Jacques Becker) Hotel du Nord (Marcel Carné), The Truth of Our Marriage (Henri Decoin) and The 317th Platoon (Pierre Schoendoerffer).

Bertrand Tavernier will be in person at select screenings.

Organized in collaboration with Laurence Kardish.
