About the Film

Director: Vincent Garenq
Actors: Gilles Lellouche, Charles Berling and Laurent Capelluto

L'enquête (The Clearstream Affair) is a 2014 French thriller film directed by Vincent Garenq that is based on the Clearstream trial in 2001 that rocked the foundations of Europe and the French government itself. In this film full of political and financial intrigue, Journalist Denis Robert sparks a storm in the world of European finance by denouncing the murky operations of banking firm Clearstream.

The film will be followed by an informal reception and an open discussion.

Praise

This ripped-from-the-headlines thriller was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2016 César Awards and won Best Supporting Actor at the 2016 Magritte Awards for Laurent Capelluto.

The Clearstream Affair, from Vincent Garenq, teases out not only the intricacies of an ongoing scandal lasting much of last decade, but the extraordinary human toll on Robert.
– John Hopewell, Variety

New Cinema Programming

Starting this Spring, cinema is taking the leap at the French Cultural Center. We have revisited and expanded our programming to offer you new ways to experience the best of French and Francophone cinema. While continuing the monthly Ciné-Clubs to catch up on recent films from the Francophone world, we are launching Ciné-Rétro, a two-evening marathon to discover or re-discover some 1940s to 1970s French classics and Ciné-Loulous, where children and their families can enjoy French animated gems followed by arts and crafts activities inspired by the film. As always, you will be able to mingle and discuss the films with our in-house film expert, fellow cinéphiles and francophiles.
