Les femmes à l'honneur ce printemps

Trois films de réalisatrices françaises, trois portraits de femmes filmées dans leur complexité, leurs nuances, et explorant à fines touches leur reconstruction.

L’Avenir de Mia Hansen Love (2016) avec Isabelle Huppert, André Marcon, Judith Magre

Nathalie, mariée et mère de deux enfants déjà adultes, enseigne la philosophie avec implication et passion. Sa mère très âgée se fait de plus en plus possessive. Quand son mari lui annonce qu'il a rencontré une autre femme et qu'il part s'installer avec elle, elle voit sa vie sous un autre jour. Portrait d’une femme qui se libère de ce qui pourrait l’enfermer et la transformer en victime. Ours d’Argent au festival de Berlin.

Un beau soleil intérieur de Claire Denis (2017) avec Juliette Binoche, Xavier Beauvois

Isabelle, une artiste-peintre divorcée et mère d'une fille, cherche le grand amour au tournant de la cinquantaine. Elle s'essaye à de nombreuses rencontres, avec des hommes très différents, sans jamais trouver le bonheur, ni même la sérénité dans aucune d'entre elles. Finalement, profondément déprimée, elle se rend chez un voyant qui lui prédit un avenir surprenant. Claire Denis est considérée comme l’une des plus grandes depuis les années 90 avec « Chocolat », « Trouble Every day », « White Material »

Revoir Paris d’Alice Winocour (2022) avec Virginie Efira, Benoit Magimel, Grégoire Colin

A Paris, Mia est prise dans un attentat dans une brasserie. Trois mois plus tard, alors qu’elle n’a toujours pas réussi à reprendre le cours de sa vie et qu’elle ne se rappelle l’évènement que par bribes, Mia décide d’enquêter dans sa mémoire pour retrouver le chemin d’un bonheur possible. Film d’une réalisatrice qui joue sur des gammes variées depuis ses débuts et explore la mémoire post traumatique des attentats de Paris, entre regard concret et vision poétique.

BA243 American Film Classics (24 Apr 2026)

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Course Description

Discover and discuss masterpieces of American cinema in this class for intermediate and advanced English speakers. You’ll watch a film at home on streaming, or borrow the DVD from your local library, before a lively and engaging discussion in class. You’ll be assigned one scene to watch at least three times! Every month you’ll view a film from an influential director so you’ll come to know the stylistic hallmarks of favorite genres and filmmakers.

If you love the movies, this course is an enjoyable way to increase vocabulary, get comfortable with idiomatic expressions, improve your conversational skills, and deepen your understanding of American culture and cinema.

In the Spriing trimester, we'll discuss three films from 1939, arguably one of the best years for American cinema.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington by Frank Capra with Claude Reins, James Stewart, Jean Arthur.

A naive youth leader is appointed to fill a vacancy in the U.S. Senate where his idealistic plans promptly collide with corruption at home and subterfuge from his hero in Washington.

The film was controversial when it was first released, with attacks from many politicians claiming that it brought Washington into disrepute. However, it was very successful at both the domestic and international box offices, and it made Stewart a major star.

Only Angels Have Wings by Howard Hawks with Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, and Rita Hayworth.

At a remote South American trading port, the manager of an air-freight company is compelled to risk the lives of his pilots in order to win an important contract as a traveling American showgirl stops in town. A romantic adventure, the film is generally regarded as among Hawks' finest films, particularly in its portrayal of the professionalism of the pilots, the atmosphere, and the flying sequences.

Stagecoach by John Ford with John Wayne and Claire Trevor. On the stagecoach to Cheyenne, an eclectic group of passengers must work together to survive the arduous journey and the Apache attacks.

Widely considered to be one of the most influential films every made, Stagecoach has not escaped controversy. Like most Westerns of the era, the film's depiction of Native Americans is simplistic and reductive.

About the instructor:

Ellen Feldman grew up in Philadelphia and currently lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She holds a Ph.D. in cinema studies from New York University and has taught film studies at the State University of New York, Geneseo campus, and Brooklyn College.

Les Rois maudits, tome 7: Quand un roi perd la France

Dans ce septième et dernier volume des Rois maudits, c'est le règne de Jean II qui est retracé. L'Histoire a surnommé ce roi Jean le Bon, mais ce monarque fut, en fait, aussi vaniteux et cruel qu'indécis et incapable. À l'époque la France est en crise: les clans et les factions se disputent le pays, l'Angleterre revendique le royaume, les impôts sont écrasants, la peste fait des ravages et le roi accumule les erreurs. On suit, à travers le récit d'un haut personnage de ce temps l'évolution du règne. Une épopée malheureuse et sanglante qui va mener le roi au désastre de la bataille de Poitiers, où il sera fait prisonnier des Anglais.

Come prepared to discuss:

The Accursed Kings volume 6, When a King Loses France

This seventh and final volume of The Accursed Kings recounts the reign of John II. History has nicknamed this king John the Good, but in fact, this monarch was as vain and cruel as he was indecisive and incompetent. At the time, France was in crisis: clans and factions were fighting over the country, England was laying claim to the kingdom, taxes were crushing, the plague was wreaking havoc, and the king was making mistake after mistake. Through the account of a prominent figure of the time, we follow the evolution of the reign. It was an unfortunate and bloody epic that would lead the king to disaster at the Battle of Poitiers, where he was taken prisoner by the English.
