We’re continuing our Mardi Cinéma cycle with another essential classic of French cinema: Madame Bovary by Claude Chabrol.

🎥 Madame Bovary
Emma Bovary, a doctor’s wife living in provincial France, dreams of a more exciting and luxurious life than the one she leads. Disillusioned by the monotony of her marriage, she seeks fulfillment through passionate affairs and extravagant spending. As her desires spiral beyond her means, Emma becomes trapped in a cycle of illusion and disappointment. With his precise and understated direction, Chabrol brings Gustave Flaubert’s iconic heroine to life, crafting a poignant portrait of desire, boredom, and the consequences of chasing unattainable dreams.

🎙️ Special Guest: A cinema expert will join us for a discussion after the screening.
