Claude Goretta: The Lacemaker
@ Doc Films at the University of Chicago
1212 E 59th St, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Wednesday, January 9th, from 7PM - 8:45PM
Imported print! The Lacemaker is a story of a shy young woman throttled by a fast-paced France. Béatrice (Isabelle Huppert), a reserved hair stylist, ventures out with her only friend Marylène for a vacation by the sea at Cabourg. Marylène quickly meets a man and apathetically abandons Béatrice. Disconcerted and confused by the youth culture around her, the lonely Béatrice keeps to herself until a wealthy young man offers to bring her into his world.
