"L'atalante" Directed By: Jean Vigo

Tonight, we journey from the misty waterways of France to the glittering cocktail lounges of New York. First up is L’Atalante, Jean Vigo’s poetic masterpiece — a dreamlike voyage of newlyweds drifting along the Seine, where love, longing, and life aboard a humble barge mingle in a haze of romance and reality. Then, the mood shifts with The Thin Man, W.S. Van Dyke’s sparkling blend of mystery and wit, where William Powell and Myrna Loy turn sleuthing into a champagne-fueled dance of charm and intrigue. Two films, worlds apart, yet bound by the universal currents of love, laughter, and life in all its unpredictable beauty
