Late update: Claire Denis has canceled her appearances. L'Intrus and Beau Travail (tomorrow night) will be screened as scheduled, free and open to the public.
Synopsis: Louis Trebor (Michel Subor) lives alone in an isolated woodland compound on the French-Swiss border in the Jura mountains. An enigmatic figure and emotionally distant father, he has little contact with the grown-up son who lives in the same town, seemingly preferring his dogs to the company of men. An ailing heart forces Trebor to leave his snow-covered wilderness to embark on a journey in search of new heart--literally and metaphorically--on the black market of Korea. As he drifts across the Pacific Ocean, he is also secretly looking for a long-lost son he fathered years before, on a remote island near Tahiti.
The film is in French with English subtitles. Part of the series "From Script to Screen: Conversations on Contemporary French Cinema," sponsored by the Division of Literatures, Cultures, and Languages Research Unit.
