Celebrating our French connections

At WA Maritime Museum we are celebrating our unique French connections through our French Explorers in Western Australia exhibitions. As part of the exhibition season we will also be bringing you the best in French cinema.

The annual Alliance Française Classic Film Festival aims to rediscover masterpieces of French cinema, highlighting a talent, actor or director who has made an indelible contribution to France’s celebrated film industry.

The 2018 season is focusing on the legendary Jeanne Moreau, showcasing restored versions of 5 of her most famous films from 1958 to 1991.

Moderato Cantabile by Peter Brook

Anne lives a banal life as the trophy wife of a town's leading industrialist. Witness to a murder at the bar next door, she becomes obsessed by it.

Seeking answers, she develops a close relationship with Chauvin, a working-class man, who was also witness to the crime. Slowly, they find themselves being consumed by forces which threaten their own stability, leading to an intense but unconsummated affair.

Yet, like all affairs, it has to end.
