My Night at Maud's

Free Members Only Screening

To celebrate the exhibit Art for Art House: The Posters of Peter Strausfeld, presented in partnership with Poster House and on view now in the Jane Peck Gallery, please join us for a special FREE MEMBER SCREENING of My Night at Maud’s (displayed under the UK title My Night with Maud in the exhibit).

The screening will be introduced by Exhibit Curator Tim Medland and Angelina Lippert, Executive Director and Curator of Poster House.

In the brilliantly accomplished centerpiece of Rohmer’s “Moral Tales” series, Jean-Louis Trintignant plays Jean-Louis, one of the great conflicted figures of sixties cinema. A pious Catholic engineer in his early thirties, he lives by a strict moral code in order to rationalize his world, drowning himself in mathematics and the philosophy of Pascal. After spotting the delicate, blonde Françoise at Mass, he vows to make her his wife, although when he unwittingly spends the night at the apartment of the bold, brunette divorcée Maud, his rigid ethical standards are challenged. A breakout hit in the United States, My Night at Maud’s was one of the most influential and talked-about films of the decade.

This event is presented in partnership with:

"The film is beautifully played, that is, as written, which is almost as if it were music."
Vincent Canby, New York Times
"My Night at Maud's is about love, being a Roman Catholic, body language and the games people play. It is just about the best movie I've seen on all four subjects."
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
