Eric Rohmer's Triple Agent (2004) is showing January 11 - February 9, 2017.Eric Rohmer’s penultimate feature, Triple Agent, is relatively neglected within his oeuvre. Released in 2004, one hardly ever sees it among best-of-00s or even best-of-2004 lists, even though it is certainly one of the great director’s most fascinating and remarkable films.Based on a true story, Triple Agent focuses on an expatriate couple living in late 1930s Paris, right before the outbreak of the Second World War.

Idiosyncratic French film director and Cannes prizewinner
At the Cannes film festival in 1958, the jury prize was awarded to Goha, the first Tunisian film (albeit a co-production with France) to be nominated for the Palme d'Or. There were other important firsts connected with the film. Goha was the first feature directed by Jacques Baratier, who has died aged 91. It featured the 20-year-old Tunisian-born beauty Claudia Cardinale in her screen debut and starred a handsome 25-year-old Egyptian actor billed as Omar Chérif (later Sharif), in the role that launched his international career and eventually caught the attention of the producers of Lawrence of Arabia. The film's screenplay was the only one written by the celebrated Egyptian-born playwright and poet Georges Schehadé, and it featured the first screen score by the Moroccan-born composer Maurice Ohana.
Goha, based on an Arab folktale, told of a clever young man (Sharif) who, under the guise of stupidity,...
