French film has shocking ending
Will Jordan
news editor
This past Monday in Reed
117, the School of Humanities and
Social Sciences and The Mary Be
hrend Fund sponsored the showing of
La Ceremonie which is a French film
that was directed by Claude Chabrol.
Dr. Kathryn Wolfe, associate profes
sor of French, introduced the film.
This film was part of the foreign film
scries here at Behrcnd.
Claude Chabrol is one of
many notable directors to emerge
from the French New Wave of the late
19505. Chabrol is often referred to
as the “French Hitchcock” because of
his reputation with his class-conscious
suspense thrillers. Dr. Wolfe said,
“Chabrol works like a chess player:
he assembles a group of characters,
each of whom has come from afar and
turns out to have a guilty secret to
hide, plunks them down in a remote
region of Brittany in northwestern
France, and then moves them like
pawns, so that their interactions
slowly transform the innocuous ba
nalities of everyday life into the per
fect setting for a ritualistic setting
when they arc violated.”
The title of the film. La
Ceremonie. refers to the word that

French gangsters used for the struc
tured ritual of events leading up to an
execution by the guillotine. About the
film itself, Dr. Wolfe said, “La
Ceremonie came out in 1995 and is
Charol’s take on Crime and Punish
ment.” From beginning to end the
film constitutes a “ceremony.” There
fore, there is a structured investiga
tion into what is the crime that is com
mitted, who is the criminal, and what
becomes the punishment of the crimi
nal. However, through
out the film, the phrase
“no one could ever
prove anything” arises,
Through this it is pos-
sible to think that the
criminal will get off
The film La
Ceremonie is based on
the novel A Judgment in
Stone by Ruth Rendell.
In the film, the main
character is Sophie.
Sophie is a self- as
sured, but emotionless
young housekeeper
who is hired by the
Lelievre family.
The
Charm with a view
By Roger Burlingame
staff writer
I recently visited the Water
front restaurant located at the very
bottom of State St. here in Erie. If
you are going on a date and you want
to make a good impression, this is
definitely one of the places you should
go. We were seated in the lounge and
it had a very pleasant atmosphere, it
also boasted some of the most origi
nal window art I’ve seen. The res
taurant commands a beautiful view of
Presque Isle as it is located right on
the water. The Waterfront has recently
proposed to the Port Authority that
they take over the building next to
theirs, so soon they may be doubling
in size. The first thing I was happy to
see was an extensive wine list. Al
though it was a little overpriced, there

Throughout the film, Sophie tries to
hide the fact that she is illiterate from
her new employers. She eventually
becomes friends with the post office
worker, Jeanne. Together they get
into some mischief which involves the
town church as well as the Lelievre
family. Toward the end of the movie,
the daughter of the Lelievres discov
ers that Sophie is illiterate. Almost
simultaneously, Sophie discovers that
the daughter is pregnant. After try

were so many excellent wines it
would have been almost impossible
to make a bad choice.
The restaurant’s specialty is
seafood, and the seafood bisque was
truly excellent. For an appetizer, we
enjoyed the Mushroom Rockefeller.
These are mushrooms stuffed with
spinach, bacon, parmesan, and feta
cheese. These were good, but I
thought the taste of spinach was a bit
overpowering. I have heard wonder

to go to the Waterfront a second time
and have this dish myself. For des
sert, the Cherries Jubilee Flambe is
something I would recommend, but
their dessert menu was so large that
there is certainly something for every
one.
All in all there were a couple
of things I wasn’t ecstatic about. One
thing: we seemed to be a little
crowded at our table. Between the
serving plates already on the table
v.hen you ore seated and the main
course there is hardly room for a glass
of water. Two: some of the items
were a little pricy, but they are so good
that this establishment can get away
with it. The Waterfront is definitely
one of the best restaurants I’ve been
to in Erie.
