The Last Take: Diane Keaton
Sophie Jansen, Head of Programming at Filmhuis Den Haag:
''On October 11, Diane Keaton passed away. This versatile actress and outspoken style icon refused to be boxed in throughout her career, always taking on diverse, surprising, and boldly defined female roles. As a tribute to Keaton, we’re screening 'The First Wives Club', a comedy that’s both lighthearted and meaningful, and whose popularity has only grown over the years. We’ll be in the back of the theater ourselves, wiping away a tear during 'You Don’t Own Me'.''
The Last Take: Claudia Cardinale
Sophie Jansen, Head of Programming at Filmhuis Den Haag:
''On 23 September, Claudia Cardinale, one of the greats of cinema in Italy and far beyond, passed away. Cardinale often shone on our silver screen and therefore now, of course, also in The Last Take. Filmhuis Den Haag pays tribute to her with a special screening of 'Il Gattopardo', in which Cardinale shines as the young Angelica. A wonderful opportunity to see her one more time on the big screen, in the film that made her an icon.''
