The Bride Wore Black (La mariée était en noir )
France 1968, 107 min, New 35mm print!, Dir: Francois Truffaut
French with English subtitles

Though one of the key figures of the French New Wave, François Truffaut was influenced by - and indebted to - the cinematic mastery of Alfred Hitchcock. In 1967 Truffaut completed his seminal book of conversations with Hitchcock, in which he intimately engages Hitchcock in a dialogue about cinema. The Bride Wore Black was released the following year, and in many ways demonstrates Truffaut’s capacity both as a pupil of Hitchcock and a gifted filmmaker in his own right. The story of a vengeful bride widowed on her wedding day, The Bride Wore Black stars Jeanne Moreau in a work that combines the cinematic craft of Hitchcock with the novel visual language that is all Truffaut.
