Convicted felon Nikita (Anne Parillaud), instead of going to jail, is given a new identity and trained to be a secret police assassin controlled by the government. Her lonely life is warmed when she falls in love with a man who knows nothing of her mysterious life.

Join us in Spring 2021 for a series on the French film movement of the 1980s and ‘90s known as the Cinéma du Look. These films were groundbreaking and shocking in their combination of European art film sensibilities, comic book visuals, Hollywood spectacle, and youthful rebellion.

We will be screening and discussing five seminal films of the movement over Zoom.
