Secrets, Lies & Betrayal: Presented as part of l’Alliance Française du Manitoba 100th anniversary celebrations
From Quai des Orfèvres to Jeune & Jolie to Le Confessionnal, this francophone film festival is an invitation to discover films from different times and places and surrender to the power of “Secrets, Lies and Betrayal”. All films are in French with English subtitles.
The Alliance Française du Manitoba was born in 1915 of the passion of Manitobans for the French language and francophone cultures. It has been growing for a century and has been nurtured by it’s will to create a community beyond the boundaries of language where everyone is welcome.
Torment (L’Enfer)
This gripping film based on a rediscovered screenplay by Henri Georges Clouzot is the story of a country hotel owner named Paul who becomes suspicious of his wife. Little by little his suspicions take shape and jealousy plunges him into an unfathomable purgatory of doubt and dementia.
