In the second half of our show, we look at Le Cercle Rouge, from 1970 and directed by Jean-Pierre Melville. It's an epic-length film about a jewelry heist that will keep you guessing up until the very end.
COMING ATTRACTIONS:
We reach the halfway mark with our world tour as we go to Germany. The films we're screening show different ways that the Germans confront their past. First up is The Lives of Others, a 2006 drama that takes place on the other side of the Berlin wall. Then we move forward two years to review The Baader Meinhof Complex. You may have heard of the Baader Meinhof Phenomenon, which oddly enough is only loosely related to this film.
