Video forum "From Paper to Screen", led by critic Eduardo Nabal Aragón
Drama directed by William Wyler in 1949 and starring Montgomery Clift and Olivia de Havilland
The year is 1849, in New York. Catherine Sloper, a wealthy, shy, innocent, plain, and not very young heiress, is courted by a handsome young man. She falls passionately in love with him, but her cruel and despotic father opposes the marriage and threatens to disinherit her.
Adaptation of Henry James' novel "Washington Square".
According to critics, it is "Dense plot (...) Wyler's visual elegance creates a mise-en-scène that is a compendium of wisdom and artistic sensitivity, and fully immerses the viewer in a tormented melodrama"
The session, presented and discussed by film critic Eduardo Nabal Aragón, will be shown in its original version with subtitles and will begin at 6:30 p.m.
Maximum capacity for 56 spectators.
