‘Zazie dans le métro’ (Zazie in the Subway) directed by Louis Malle will be screened at 3 pm on Tuesday August 17 and at 6.30 pm on August 18 at Alliance Francaise - Colombo.
This 1960 French drama is a sparkling French farce, very reminiscent of the comic silent movies of the 1920s. A precocious little girl, with a foul mouth and a wicked sense of fun, provides the catalyst for some deliriously funny comic situations.
During a trip to Paris, 11-year old Zazie is foisted on her uncle, Gabriel, whilst her mother goes off with a new boyfriend. Zazie only wants to see the metro, but a strike on the underground prevents this. She blames this on the grown-ups and starts to have some fun at their expense...
