Film Classics in 35mm! Post-film Reception! Grafton Nunes introduces
A MAN ESCAPED
UN CONDAMNÉ À MORT S’EST ÉCHAPPÉ
France
| 1956 | Robert Bresson
For the final film in his year-long “carte blanche” series, soon-to-retire Cleveland Institute of Art President + CEO Grafton Nunes has picked another masterpiece of “transcendental” cinema. Robert Bresson’s spare, intense suspense classic focuses on a French Resistance fighter whose painstaking escape from a Nazi prison fortress becomes a mesmerizing metaphysical journey. In Bresson’s hands, mundane objects (spoons, wires, etc.) become precious instruments of deliverance in a meticulously composed symphony of salvation. A reception open to all ticket buyers will follow the screening. Subtitles. 35mm. 95 min.
Special admission $12; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $9. No passes or twofers.
Important Covid requirement. All Cinematheque moviegoers must wear a mask for the duration of their visit. Learn more under the "Face Coverings" section at cia.edu/covid.
