Le Beau Serge at Théâtre des Capucins: French New Wave screening
The Cinémathèque brings Claude Chabrol's landmark debut to Théâtre des Capucins, a foundational work of the French New Wave movement.

On 9 June 2026, the Luxembourg Cinémathèque screens Le Beau Serge at Théâtre des Capucins. This 1958 film by Claude Chabrol is widely regarded as one of the first feature films of the Nouvelle Vague. It tells the story of François, a city-dweller who returns to his childhood village and finds his old friend Serge trapped in alcoholism and disillusionment.
Théâtre des Capucins, located in downtown Luxembourg, regularly hosts cultural events for discerning audiences. This screening will appeal to film lovers eager to discover or revisit French cinema classics in an intimate setting. The venue's historic character adds to the film-club atmosphere.
If you're staying in Gaume, Luxembourg City is about an hour's drive away. Arrive a bit early to enjoy a drink in the neighbourhood before the film starts. Check the Cinémathèque's website for exact showtimes and booking details.
