Wednesday, October 20, 9:40pm Adapted from the stage play by Jean-Marie Besset, director Robert Salis’ GRANDE ÉCOLE follows a group of students as they settle into what they hope will be a promising year. Almost by accident, straight student Paul finds himself attracted to both his suave male roommate Louis-Arnault and a middle-class Arab painter, Mecir. Paul’s savvy girlfriend, Agnes, sees the truth even before Paul does. Still, Agnes isn’t ready to give up her man without a fight–even if that means sleeping with Louis-Arnault herself! Meanwhile, Paul takes some tentative steps out of the closet by going on a date with Mecir–but the repercussions of falling in love with someone so far below his station spell potential disaster for the two young men. The physical encounters between the characters are extraordinarily sensual, as frank as they are moving.
