Europe in Cinema presents

Together with the European National Institute for Culture, Alliance Française de Kuala Lumpur presents the 'Europe in Cinema' series. For this instalment, they'll be screening the Danish film ‘A Woman's Life (Une Vie)'. Set in Normandy in 1819 and adapted from the classic French novel 'Une Vie' by Guy de Maupassant, 'A Woman's Life' is a tale of tormented love embedded in the restrictive social and moral codes of marriage and family in 19th century Normandy. Upon finishing her schooling in a convent, young aristocrat Jeanne marries local Viscount Julien de Lamare, who soon reveals himself to be a miserly and unfaithful husband.
