Film: The Late Mathias Pascal

Tickets: $12

Feu Mathias Pascal, Marcel L’Herbier, 1926, France, 175 minutes

The Late Mathias Pascal is an utterly unique synthesis of Ivan Mozzhukhin’s mercurial acting, Marcel L’Herbier’s cool elegance, and the labyrinthine structure of Luigi Pirandello’s source novel about a man who pretends he is dead. This is the North American premiere screening of a new, color-tinted restoration by the Cinémathèque française.
