“A deliberately beautiful film…. But it is not a travelogue and it is not a love story. It is about how racism can prevent two people from looking each other straight in the eyes, and how they punish each other for the pain that causes them. This is one of the best films of the year.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times (1989)
At the Belcourt this Fri-Sat, Mar 24-26 + next Thu, Mar 30, Claire Denis' 1989 debut film, CHOCOLAT. #WeekendClassics

At the Belcourt Wed-Sun, Mar 22-26, Jacquelyn Mills' documentary GEOGRAPHIES OF SOLITUDE is an immersion into the rich ecosystem of Sable Island, a remote sliver of land in the Northwest Atlantic. The film follows Zoe Lucas, a naturalist and environmentalist who has lived there for over 40 years collecting, cleaning and documenting marine litter that persistently washes up on the island’s shores. Shot on 16mm and created using eco-friendly filmmaking techniques, GEOGRAPHIES OF SOLITUDE is a playful and reverent collaboration with the natural world filled with arresting images and made with an activist spirit.
