For true film aficionados, it doesn’t get any better than this! Join renowned film commentator and Urban parent David Thomson for a soirée of French cuisine, film and engaging conversation about the life of Oscar-nominated French actress Emmanuelle Riva. Mr. Thomson has been hailed as the “greatest living film critic.” His recently released books Have You Seen...?: A Personal Introduction to 1,000 Films (2008) and the 5th edition of The New Biographical Dictionary of Film are considered essential references for all serious movie buffs. David will show clips of Ms. Riva’s acclaimed roles in Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959) and Amour (2012) and, through the lens of her remarkable career, consider the life of an actress and the passage of time. The soirée will take place at an Urban family's lovely home in San Francisco. The authentic French cuisine will be très délicieuse!
