CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA
Hosted by Bright Wall/Dark Room’s Veronica Fitzpatrick and Chad Perman
ARCHIVED WATCH PARTY
SUNDAY | AUGUST 18 | 12PM PT
Undoubtedly the personal assistant-boss relationship can be a tangled web of nuance and power dynamics. For the most part, the rapport between Valentine (Kristen Stewart) and her renowned actress boss, Maria Enders (Juliette Binoche), is solid, trustworthy and playful—that is, until Maria is offered a role in the play that launched her to stardom. This time she won’t be embodying the bewitching, manipulative young hire Sigrid in Maloja Snake, but Sigrid’s older, tragically lovestruck boss, Helena. Olivier Assayas’s Clouds of Sils Maria (2014) is an intoxicating character study that looks at the chokehold fame and aging can have on identity, particularly for women.
Join Bright Wall/Dark Room’s Veronica Fitzpatrick and Chad Perman for a watch party for this wildly entertaining, multilayered epic.
