Film Details

The new film by master filmmaker Chantal Akerman (Jeanne Dielman) has the highest overall metacritic.com rating of 2012: 92 out of 100! Based on Joseph Conrad’s first novel (but updated by many decades), this hypnotic, dreamy, anti-colonialist film tells of a brooding European treasure hunter living in the lush jungles of Southeast Asia. When his estranged, embittered mixed-race daughter, now grown, returns home after being educated in Europe, Almayer tries to reconnect with her. But she feels more affinity for a local insurgent. Undistributed in the U.S., Almayer’s Folly will be shown in a 35mm print from Europe that is temporarily in North America. “One of the year’s most hypnotic and fascinating films.” –Village Voice.
