STORIE INSOLITE (UNUSUAL STORIES): A tribute to Claude Chabrol’s screening of the film L’ivresse du pouvoir (Comedy of Power), introduced by Andrea Mattacheo.
The last event in the STORIE INSOLITE (UNUSUAL STORIES): A tribute to Claude Chabrol festival will take place in the Bibliomediateca on Monday the 22nd of November 2010, at 3.30 p.m., and will feature a screening of Claude Chabrol’s film L’ivresse du pouvoir (Comedy of Power). L’ivresse du pouvoir is a film which aims to analyse, in an almost didactic way, the effect that power has on people, on who exercises his or her authority, on who succumbs to power and also on those, like the cold Jeanne Charmant-Killman, who try to unmask it. Getting to its root means ascertaining the stalemate that is facing a society that labels itself democratic but where those with power are convinced they do so in virtue of an inalienable right. Introduction by Andrea Mattacheo.
