Delphine Seyrig
September 22–October 11, 2010 at
Cinémathèque française
, Paris
Twenty years after her death, Delphine Seyrig is remembered as someone with a rich, multiple, combative, and open-minded personality. She was an actress, filmmaker, and activist, the icon of a particular modernity in the films of Alain Resnais (Last Year at Marienbad, Muriel), François Truffaut (Baisers volés), Marguerite Duras (India Song, Baxter, Vera Baxter), and Chantal Akerman (Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du commerce, 10800 Bruxelles). With her non-naturalistic acting style and with her singular voice, she was a unique symbol of elegance and distinction. She was involved in the defense of women's rights; she directed the film Sois belle et tais-toi and co-directed with Carole Roussopoulos Maso et Miso vont en bateau and Scum Manifesto.
