Rivoli screens Godard and Antonioni films

Rivoli screens "Masculin Féminin", by Jean-Luc Godard, and "Blow-Up", by Michelangelo Antonioni, within the "Ver primeiro" [Watch first] cycle at Rivoli, on 13 February.

This cinema programming, organised by Medeia Filmes, starts at 6.30 pm with "Masculin Féminin", a film directed by Jean-Luc Godard, with several references to pop culture icons and political figures of that period, such as Charles de Gaulle and André Malraux to James Bond and Bob Dylan, and follows Godard's non-linear filmmaking techniques and narratives.

The film stars Jean-Pierre Léaud and Chantal Goya.

Also on 13 February, scheduled to begin at 10 pm, the Rivoli presents "Blowup", a British-Italian mystery thriller film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni in 1966. The film portrays a fashion photographer, who believes he has unwittingly captured a murder on film.

This was Antonioni's first entirely English-language film, for which he won the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film, in the main competition section of the Cannes Film Festival.

The film stars Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles, John Castle, Jane Birkin, Tsai Chin, Peter Bowles, and Gillian Hills and sixties reputed model Veruschka.

Tickets cost 3 euros.
