4th
Annual Bastille Day Celebration + White Dog Cafe Block Party
Banana
Peel (Peau De Banane)
dir.
Marcel Ophuls, France, 1965, 16mm, 97 mins, b/w, French w/ English
subtitles
 A
gang of con artists led by Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jeanne Moreau
slowly weave a web to trap a greedy millionaire. Director Marcel
Ophuls (son of the great Max Ophuls) presents a breezy, often
witty film that confuses the characters as much as the viewer,
an intentional ploy designed to show avarice taking over the
gang, with everyone stealing from everyone else. It becomes
impossible to tell the crooks from the straights, but it's still
fun.
Vive
la France! Continue the celebration at 10pm for the White Dog
Cafe's 24th Annual Bastille Day Block Party. The
White Dog Cafe is located at 3420 Sansom Street, Philadelphia.
(Must be 21 to attend the Block Party. ID will be checked at
the White Dog).
