As part of the National Gallery of Art’s series on the work of the late French director Alain Resnais, the museum has partnered with the French embassy to show Coeurs, Resnais’ lighthearted mélange of 50 short scenes based on the 2004 Alan Ayckbourn play Public Fears in Private Places. The screening comes just prior to the U.S. release of Resnais’ final film, Aimer, boire, et chanter, another Ayckbourn adaptation. Centered around the lives and relationships—or more pointedly, the lack thereof—of six characters, Coeurs makes use of deliberately staged, theatrical sets to emphasize the characters’ emotional constraints.
