June 1944. “Words don’t describe what eyes have seen,” we’re told in “Memoir of War”. In a haunting adaptation of her semi-autobiographical novel, famed author Marguerite Duras must navigate the Résistance and the Gestapo to uncover the whereabouts of her imprisoned husband. She becomes friendly with a Nazi collaborator to gain information at considerable risk. But as the months wear on with no news of her husband, Marguerite must begin the process of confronting the unimaginable. Using expressionistic imagery and voiceover passages of Duras' writing, Finkiel evokes the inner world of one of the 20th century's most revolutionary writers.
For payment by check: Please make your check payable to Alliance Française de Charleston and give at the door the day of the film.
The Ciné-club venue is located at 173 Ashley avenue, immediately past the MUSC horseshoe entrance, on the left (west) side of Ashley Avenue. Since Ashley Avenue runs northwards, approach it from Calhoun street. Once you have turned onto Ashley Avenue, you will see a parking garage on the right which is only a very short walk to the entrante of the venue.
