“La Guerre est Declaree”
The Tournées Film Festival will continue with “La Guerre est Declaree” (“Declaration of War”) at 1 p.m. Friday, April 8, in Billingsly Student Center’s Phelps Theater.
Courageously mining harrowing autobiographical episodes, director Valérie Donzelli and her co-writer, co-star and ex-partner Jérémie Elkaïm imaginatively relay the story of their own tumultuous romance—and the terrifying, real-life diagnosis that their son received when he was only 18 months old. Donzelli creatively plays with form, adding musical numbers, multiple omniscient narrators, and other nods to the French New Wave.
Admission is free, and refreshments will be provided.
