Foreign Film: Considered by many as BRIGITTE BARDOT‘s finest performance, Henri-Georges Clouzot‘s LA VERITE ​​is about a troubled young woman who moves to bohemian Paris to escape the suffocation of provincial life, only to wind up in a courtroom, accused of the murder of her lover (Sami Frey).  Nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, LA VERITE renders a harsh verdict against a hypocritical and moralistic society.  (1960, in French with English subtitles 127 minutes.)
