Seminar: Chocolat (1988)

One of a handful of filmmakers who can credibly lay claim to the title of World’s Greatest Living Director, Claire Denis creates films that speak as much through words as they do through movement, rhythm, and texture.

We're thrilled to kick off our new Claire Denis: Cinéma Courageux series with an overview of the singular French filmmaker, led by UMASS Boston Cinema Studies Professor Sarah Keller.
