Il Dialogo di Roma (Duras, 1983): ICA Cinema, 7pm

This film is part of the excellent Marguerite Duras season at the ICA (full details here) and is also being screened on September 7th.

ICA introduction:
Il dialogo di Roma was a commission from the Italian broadcaster RAI. After her short film Césarée
, Duras paid another tribute to Berenice, “queen of the Jews”, through the impossible love story between a Roman soldier and the Queen of Samaria. Around the Via Appia and the Piazza Navona, Duras films the landmarks of Rome’s city centre in the early eighties, in dialogue with her own partner, Yann Andréa.

Here (and above) is an extract.
