This week’s Cinechats selection: Full Time
The campus community is invited to enjoy a film screening presented by Cinechats, which is supported in part by 鶹ý University, Durham College, Arts Forum and the Durham Council for the Arts. Age restrictions apply, as most films are rated for those 18 years of age and older.
This week’s selection is (France 2021). "You never stop." That's what someone says to this film's hard-pressed protagonist, and truer words were never spoken. Her life is a pressure-cooker of stress in all shapes and sizes. She is a single-mother with a long commute to her workplace in Paris that's become an outright ordeal thanks to a transit strike that shows no sign of ending.
She's under pressure at work and she has to sneak away to an interview for a better job. Her ex-husband is behind in the alimony and not answering her calls, the hot water is on the fritz, and she's saddled with a green trainee at work. And now the bank is about to pull her line of credit.
Billed as a "kinetic real-world thriller”, the film and the lead performance give viewers a protagonist in whom we become instantly invested.
- When: Thursday, July 20 at 6:30 p.m.
- Where: Gordon Willey Building, Room C-113
