Thursday Nights at the Cinematheque
A Retrospective of the films of Francois Truffaut
The Last Metro (Le dernier metro) (1980, 131 mins.)
Gerard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve star as members of a French theater company living under the German occupation during World War II in Truffaut's gripping, humanist character study. Against all odds -- a Jewish theater manager in hiding; a leading man who's in the Resistance; increasingly restrictive Nazi oversight -- the troupe believes the show must go on. Equal parts romance, historical tragedy, and even comedy, The Last Metro is Truffaut's ultimate tribute to art overcoming adversity.

2012 Psychology Department Brown Bag Series
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm - Sierra Hall 322
The Department of Psychology presents their 2012 Brown Bag Series with Jesse Graham, Department of Psychology at USC.
Ideological Conflicts as Opposing Moral Visions
Why do our moral convictions feel like objective truth, and yet differ so greatly across individuals and cultures? How do shared ideological narratives influence our sense of right and wrong, and how do our moral convictions influence our political choices? This talk will explore these questions with an investigation of the interactions between morality and ideology.
This event is scheduled for December 7, 2012, 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. in Sierra Hall 322.

Thursday Nights at the Cinematheque
A Retrospective of the films of Francois Truffaut
Confidentially Yours (Vivement dimanche!) (1983, 110 mins.)
In this light but nearly faultless homage to the classic film noir thriller, Truffaut showcases one of his favorite actresses, Fanny Ardant, as Barbara, an enterprising secretary in love with her boss (Jean-Louis Trintignant) but up against clearing him of murder. To resolve the mystery and reveal the real killer, she has no choice but to betray the man she loves. Truffaut's final film, Confidentially Yours is an enduring expression of the director's long fascination with the American cinema.

Documentaries and Short Subjects, 1966-1976 -- 120 mins.
A program of short films and documentaries made by Kieslowski between 1969 and 1980. More overtly political than his later feature films, these earlier efforts nonetheless reveal Kieslowski's talent for capturing the broad complexities of the human condition.
