La lettre
This recurring cycle provides an opportunity to present to the public films from various eras and origins thanks to copies recently acquired by the Cinémathèque québécoise. This month, Gus Van Sant's second feature film, Drugstore Cowboy, takes us into the drug-addled America of the 1970s through the adaptation of James Fogle's eponymous autobiographical novel.
Seriously disappointed by her first love, the beautiful, delicate and virtuous Catherine de Chartres sinks into despair. One evening, a friend of her mother's takes advantage of a concert to introduce her to Jacques de Clèves, a doctor with a solid reputation. He immediately falls in love with the young girl.
