Far From Men Screening and Conversation with Viggo Mortensen

COLUMBIA MAISON FRANÇAISE, 515 W. 116th, BUELL HALL, 2nd FLOOR

Co-presented with Columbia Maison Française

Admission is free (RSVP required at maisonfrancaise.org)

Film in French with English subtitles. Followed by a conversation with Viggo Mortensen, moderated by Professor Madeleine Dobie, Department of French, Columbia University.

During the early days of the Algerian War of Independence, a solitary schoolteacher (Viggo Mortensen) and a prisoner (Reda Kateb), on opposite sides of the conflict, must join forces to survive. They face difficult moral choices on their journey as they confront dilemmas of accountability and condemnation. Inspired by Camus' short story "The Guest," French director David Oelhoffen creates a penetrating set among the magnificent landscapes of the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. . . .
