Movie spotlight: Of language and longing: The films of Marguerite Duras
Duras was one of the great French writers of the 20th century. But did you know that she also made a bunch of weird little black-and-white movies? Born in French Indochina (now Vietnam), she went on to write 34 novels as well as the screenplay for "Hiroshima, Mon Amour," a groundbreaking film that heralded the French New Wave. Shortly after, she was directing her own experimental films, which were often slow-moving, self-reflexive jaunts -- some taking place in her own home. Walker Art Center has gathered a few of these gems for a series that wraps up this weekend with "India Song" (pictured, 7:30 p.m. Fri.), "Destroy, She Said" (7:30 p.m. Sat.) and "Nathalie Granger" (4 p.m. Sun., Walker Cinema, 1750 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. $8. 612-375-7600 or walkerart.org.)TOM HORGEN
