Pattes Blanches (White Paws)

The Alliance Française de Seattle in collaboration with Scarecrow Video and Grand Illusion present this program of classic French films rarely seen in the US. Films by renowned French authors will offer the opportunity to discover, or enjoy again, what makes French cinema unique: the telling of stories about human characters like no others. All films have been selected from Scarecrow Video's "Wish List" collection.

Jean Grémillon, one of the representatives of the golden age of the French cinema, started his career by directing documentaries. His eye for interesting human characters and the unknown relations between objects and beingsas he put it himselfare beautifully used in this adaption of Anouilhs play. White Paws (1949) is the story of a couple living an emotional love story in a Brittany village.
