Boston French Film Festival present The Names of Love (Le nom des gens) July 21, 8:15 p.m. Museum of Fine Arts, Boston The Names of Love (Le nom des gens) is a semi-autobiographical film about the life of a young, liberal woman who uses sex as a weapon to influence right-wing individuals to convert to her views. She is successful until she meets Arthur Martin, a Jewish, middle-aged, middle-of-the-road scientist. The two are bound by common tragic family histories (the Algerian War for her and Holocaust under the French Vichy government for him). The film won 3 César Awards in 2011 including best female lead for Sara Forestier and best writing. Co-presented by the Boston French Film Festival and Boston Jewish Film Festival. In French with English subtitles
