Quartet (2012)

"Quartet" is the 1981 drama based on Jean Rhys's novel, set in the bohemian corners of 1920s Paris where a young woman becomes entangled with a manipulative older couple. Isabelle Adjani anchors the film with a performance that leans into the era's simmering repression and desire, and the archive holds 2 scenes that capture her baring skin with the kind of unguarded intimacy period dramas rarely allow. Fans of Adjani's early work will find these clips a striking showcase of her willingness to go fully nude on screen in service of the story's tangled emotional stakes.
