Frida Cinema members are invited to a very special 30th anniversary screening of Claude Chabrol’s masterfully unsettling La Cérémonie, now restored in a beautiful 4K restoration via Janus Films!
Set in the quiet countryside of Brittany, the story follows a wealthy family who hires a new housekeeper, the enigmatic Sophie (Sandrine Bonnaire). When Sophie strikes up a friendship with the town’s outspoken postal clerk, Jeanne (the legendary Isabelle Huppert), the two women form a volatile bond that builds to an unforgettable and shocking conclusion. With chilling performances and an atmosphere thick with quiet menace, La Cérémonie is a slow-burn thriller that builds to a devastating crescendo.
Winner of the César Award for Best Actress and widely considered one of Chabrol’s finest films, La Cérémonie is a must-see for fans of dark psychological drama and French cinema at its most provocative.
