FILM SCREENINGS

Don’t Forget You’re Going to Die

1995. France. Directed by Xavier Beauvois. Screenplay by Beauvois, Emmanuel Salinger. With Beauvois, Roschdy Zem, Chiara Mastroianni. With assurance and flair, Beauvois tackles Love, Mortality, Despair, and other capitalized notions that are often poked at but rarely speared. Beginning with its carpe diem title, the film is a nervy portrait of a callow student who starts to devour life after he’s told his own will soon be over. Courtesy Why Not Productions. 121 min.
