A trailer for our upcoming film season, celebrating the career of the great Jeanne Moreau.

Moreau epitomised European cinema in the 1960s and 70s. She embodied the protagonists of scripts by the likes of Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Jean Genet, starring in masterpieces by François Truffaut, Michelangelo Antonioni, Luis Buñuel, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder.

She played diverse roles that subverted gender expectations, including a woman who abandons her husband and daughter for a younger man in The Lovers (1959), an alienated wife drifting through a crumbling marriage in La Notte (1961), and a woman complicit in murder wandering anxiously through the streets of Paris in Lift to the Scaffold (1958). Across her career, she inhabited characters who refused easy categorisation or moral judgement.

The season will be screening at The Garden Cinema from Saturday 21st March – 5th May 2026.
