La passion de Dodin Bouffant: Set in France in 1889, the film follows the life of Dodin Bouffant as a chef living with his personal cook and lover Eugénie. They share a long history of gastronomy and love but Eugénie refuses to marry Dodin, so the food lover decides to do something he has never done before: cook for her.
The French Film Festival is presented by UWL’s Department of Global Cultures and Languages and sponsored by Albertine Cinémathèque (
EN FRE). We are thrilled to partner with the Rivoli Theatre and Pizzeria on this event which brings contemporary (and classic) French cinema to you. Our film selection seeks to spotlight the richness and diversity of French films, to engage collectively about contemporary issues, to celebrate our collective passion for cinema, and to highlight the indelible mark of the French-speaking world on this art form.
Join us at the Rivoli to take part in this experience. Each screening will include opening remarks and conclude with a Q&A with panelists.
