Merrick Hall | Room 301

OWU’s third annual Tournées French Film Festival presents “Chicken with Plums,” in Room 301 of Merrick Hall, 65 S. Sandusky St., Delaware. (Satrapi and Parronaud, 2011, PG-13). Set in Tehran in 1958, the film tells the story of a gifted violinist so miserable that he wills himself to die. Viewers learn the reason for his anguish is the end of his relationship with the beautiful Irâne, whose name assumes subtle allegorical significance, suggesting that she represents not only a lost love but a country misled. The film features English subtitles and includes introductions and post-viewing discussions led by OWU faculty and students. Admission is free. Learn more at www.owu.edu/mfl.
