“Polish French director de Kermadec’s debut feature is a hidden masterpiece ripe for rediscovery, an unsentimental but deeply empathetic chronicle of several decades in the life of early 20th-century Swiss outsider artist Aloïse Corbaz—played first by Isabelle Huppert, then Delphine Seyrig. That same year, de Kermadec would also produce Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman alongside Vecchiali and others. Co-written by André Téchiné, and with a characteristically superb supporting turn from Michael Lonsdale.”—Series curators Bingham Bryant and Graham Carter
