About
(Jacques Demy, France, 1982, 90 min, in French with English subtitles)
In this later-career film, Demy returns to the full-on musical form of Umbrellas of Cherbourg, but this time with a heavily melodramatic twist. With an operatic score by Michel Colombier, Une Chambre en Ville has equal dashes of Almodóvar and Fassbinder that will caress and break your heart.
Set during a workers strike in Nantes, relationships cross and tangle as François, a striking shipyard worker, navigates his own long-term relationship while being accosted by another woman who is unhappy in her marriage (and who also happens to be the daughter of the wealthy woman who he rents his apartment from). As tensions rise for François both personally and at work, its uncertain whether things will go his way for much longer.
Though frequently overlooked amongst his other films, certainly at least because of the easy (and frankly unfair) comparison to Umbrellas, Une Chambre en Ville is a striking film that remains as relevant and important as ever.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at maria@nwfilmforum.org
