Lost in Frenchlation: Screening of Rodin in Montmarte with Subtitles

Event Description

On Friday 23rd of June Lost in Frenchlation are screening Jacques Doillon’s Rodin at the Studio 28 theatre in Montmartre. These events always have a buzzing atmosphere, and are a great place to meet fellow English speakers living in Paris. As always the gang invite you for cocktails before the film at 8pm. The theatre only takes cash, and tickets are sold on the door; so arrive earlier rather than later.

Rodin:

‘Paris 1880, Auguste Rodin aged 40, finally receives his first state commission. He creates The Gates of Hell, composed of figurines some of which will become his most famous works: The Kiss and The Thinker. He shares his life with Rose, his lifelong partner, when he encounters the young Camille Claudel. His most gifted student, she quickly becomes his assistant, then his mistress. A decade of passion, mutual admiration and complicity ensues. Following their break up, Rodin continues to work relentlessly. He faces both the condemnation and enthusiasm provoked by the sensuality of his sculptures, and with his Balzac, rejected during his lifetime, creates the undeniable starting point of modern sculpture.’
