Emerson Presents! Truffaut’s The Green Room
Francois Truffaut
This month Emerson Presents welcomes screenwriter Jay Cocks. A two-time Oscar nominee (Gangs of New York, The Age of Innocence), and has chosen to discuss The Green Room with the Bright Family Screening Room audience.
“This, for me, is a kind of lost film, and I wanted to find it again. In 1978, The Green Room opened tentatively and, it turned out, very briefly, then vanished. It can’t have lasted in theaters here for even a few weeks, and it disappeared even from home video, which is remarkable considering it is the work of Francois Truffaut, the most popular—you could also almost say “beloved”– of all the French New Wave filmmakers. I didn’t manage to see it until a few years later, when a friend recommended it and I managed to find a muddy tape. It was, for me, a revelation, a remarkable and intimate testament about love and loss and obsession. This will be a rare opportunity to see it the way it was meant to be seen, and to share a journey into the shadowy parts of a great artist’s spirit.” – Jay Cocks
