Attention Hec! We need to keep ours eyes open for this:
On Tuesday, November 25 at 7:30pm at the Walter Reade Theater, the Film Society of Lincoln Center is hosting the U.S. Premiere of LES IDOLES, the never-before-seen French 60s yé-yé/psychedelic musical romp starring gallic lefty posterboy Pierre Clémenti (Catherine Deneuve’s gangster lover in Belle de Jour) and nouvelle vague thespienne Bulle Ogier as pop singers backed by a band called Les Rollsticks (!).
No film captures the glittering, zombified world of France’s 60s yé-yé pop royalty with as much style as Marc’o’s 1968 musical, an all-singing, all-dancing missing link between the melancholy pop fantasy of Godard’s Masculine Feminine and Guy Debord’s The Society of the Spectacle.
Plus!
After the movie, stay for the yé-yé afterparty with French psychedelic ’60s pop brought to you by Viva Radio DJs J. Tripp, Melody Nelson, and the Film Society’s Gabriele Caroti plus wine and beer compliments of Stella Artois!
