Zlotowski’s
Belle Épine is a coming of age story about a teenage girl dealing with the death
of her mother and absentee father. The girl loses herself in antisocial
behavior, turning away from her Jewish heritage personified by her supportive
aunt and uncle, and drawn into the orbit of a wrong-side-of-the-tracks classmate
and her biker friends, who gather for chaotic, sometimes lethal night-time
motorcycle meets on the edge of town. The film won the prestigious Prix Louis
Delluc and was nominated for a César Award for lead actress Léa Seydoux. The
strikingly intimate portrait of a seventeen-year-old girl follows her transition
from disaffected youth to premature adulthood with astute psychological
observation.
Have you noticed the gigantic photo on our façade? Our Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition focuses on different generations of artists and art groups from the Balkan region.
Is Istanbul a single city? Will Istanbul too, be one day one day divided into different sections, and numbered like the arrondisements of Paris? These are tough questions indeed!
Félix Ziem is accepted as one of the well-known artists of the romantic landscape painting, and has been followed closely by art lovers and collectors of all periods since. He had a profound influence on generations of artists after him, and was the first artist whose works were acquired by the Louvre while he was still alive.
