MY FRIEND VICTORIA
Dir. Jean-Paul Civeyrac | France | French with English subtitles | 95 min | Narrative
Long Island Premiere Adapted from a story by Nobel-laureate Doris Lessing, My Friend Victoria is a complex, poignant portrait of a black woman in contemporary Paris whose destiny is shaped by France’s attitudes on class and privilege. This superbly acted, distinctly fresh take on racial identity is an acutely intelligent achievement by a director whose time has surely come. 1:30pm, Soundview PW
