The Jake Erhardt International Film Series will show the French film Ne le dis à personne (Tell No One) Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater in the McKelvey Campus Center.
The event is free and open to the public. A short introduction will be given prior to the showing and a discussion will follow.
The 2006 film won numerous awards, including César Awards for Best Actor, Best Director, Best Editing, and Best Music Written for a Film.
In this Hitchcockian thriller, pediatrician Alexandre Beck was the prime suspect in the brutal murder of his beloved wife Margot eight years ago. When two bodies are found near the spot where Margot's corpse was dumped, the police reopen the case and Alex becomes a suspect once again. The mystery increases when Alex receives an e-mail showing Margot older and alive.
This is the final film in the series for this semester.
The International Film Series is named in honor of its founder, Dr. Jacob Erhardt, professor of German emeritus at Westminster College. Erhardt, who taught at Westminster from 1968 until his retirement in 2004, served as chair of his department from 1970-1986, was named the Language Educator of the Year by the Pennsylvania State Modern Languages Association, translated into English Robert Reitzel's Adventures of a Greenhorn, and was recognized by the National Endowment for the Humanities as an outstanding member.
