One of the most influential films in the history of French cinema, The Raven describes the breakdown of civic order in a small provincial town when a rash of poison pen letters spreads suspicion among the local citizens: adultery, theft, even murder—there is no limit to the allegations set forth in the anonymous letters signed with the mysterious image of a crow. The film will be introduced by Raphaël Sigal (French, Amherst College) and Osman Nemli (Philosophy) will lead a post-screening discussion.
