Private Fears in Public Places Screening at Metropolis Cinema

As part of the Alain Resnais Retrospective, the movie “Private Fears in Public Places” by Resnais will be screened at Metropolis Cinema.

Synopsis: Seven lonely lives in Paris: a middle-aged estate agent who thinks a colleague is sending messages in video tapes she loans him; his co-worker whose Bible is close at hand in times of stress; her late-night charge, who’s an angry, nasty bedridden old man; his son, a patient bartender; the bartender’s best patron, an ex-soldier who’s lost his moorings while his fiancée looks for a large flat for them; and, the estate agent’s much younger sister, who answers ads in the personal and waits in cafés with a red flower pinned on her jacket. Will any connect? Can open hearts trump fears?

Entrance fee: 6,000 LL
