Diary of a Country Priest
Menace Ruine is an apocalyptic drone folk band. Geneviève Beaulieu and S. de la Moth agreed to curate a carte blanche film selection, which will be presented ahead of their concert at the Cinémathèque on October 30. Their eclectic and thought-provoking selection blends films by renowned directors with hidden gems, avoiding American cinema to better celebrate the richness of international filmmaking.
