Film Screening: Cinémélodie—L'Une chante, l'autre pas (One Sings, the Other Doesn't)

Join us for our next installment in our Cinémélodie series, with our screening of Agnès Varda’s poignant story of female friendship, L’Une chante, l’autre pas (One Sings, the Other Doesn’t). 

In 1962 Paris, 17-year-old Pauline wanders into a gallery where she recognizes her old friend, Suzanne, in one of the photographs displayed. As she reconnects with Suzanne, Pauline learns that Suzanne has two children and is expecting a third she cannot afford. In an effort to secure Suzanne money for an abortion, Pauline leaves home, drops out of school, and starts working as a singer, while Suzanne moves back to her parents’ farm. Ten years later, they reunite during the women’s movements in 1970s France. 

Guests will enjoy a complimentary glass of Louis Jadot Bourgogne and a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to the Sofitel Magnificent Mile’s très chic Le Bar.

Doors at 6:00 PM for a complimentary glass of wine. Program at 6:30. Please enter via 54 W Chicago Ave. Non-alcoholic options will be available.
