learns, and why we need never stop learning

OLIVIER ASSAYAS'
APRES MAI
Wednesday 29 May
6.30pm |
|
|
With this sweeping and evocative
story, Olivier
Assayas, with meticulous,
living period detail, captures what it
was like to have come of age in a
generation that was too young to have
been on the barricades.
He brilliantly depicts its
explorations of new
lifestyles, morals and influences, and its
music, a constant presence that
becomes something like the artistic
unconsciousness of an era.
After May
burns
with the tingling passion of
youth, when limitless opportunities and
uncertainty hold equal sway, and is
another must-see
from one of world cinema’s most vital
and influential auteurs.
