Gaslight

Description

By George Cukor. Starring Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten. Screening with presentation. Just settled in the house where her aunt was murdered, Paula experiences hallucinations and absences that make her doubt her sanity, possibly orchestrated by her husband... "Belonging to the genre of 'gothic marital grip' (Rebecca and Suspicion by Hitchcock, The Dragon's Castle by Mankiewicz, Anxiety by Tourneur, etc.) that classic Hollywood managed to elevate to its maximum level of refined ambiguity, Gaslight is directed by George Cukor, who abandons his preference for caustic comedies and cross-dressing. The setting is London, the husband in an unusual role is Charles Boyer – the other French lover after Maurice Chevalier – and the wife is Ingrid Bergman. Here she finds (...) the ideal narrative to refine her ability to portray hunted women" (Axelle Ropert, Les Inrockuptibles). USA · 1944 · 117' · original version with French/German subtitles - format: 35mm @ CAP 1 – Capitole, Freddy Buache Hall (CAP 1) - indicative price: 10.-
