Memory: Jessica Chastain, Peter Sarsgaard & Writer/Director Michel Franco with Joe Neumaier

Written and directed by Michel Franco, Memory tells the story of Sylvia (Chastain), a social worker who leads a simple and structured life. This is blown open when Saul (Sarsgaard) follows her home from their high school reunion. Their surprise encounter will profoundly impact both of them as they open the door to the past.

A quietly revelatory film and complex, bravura feat of acting, Memory is anchored by stunning performances from Chastain and Sarsgaard. Following the screening, hear them discuss along with the film’s Writer/Director Michel Franco the subtle moments that define their performances, the difficult emotional work of bringing this story and their characters to life, stories from the making of the film, and more.

Recorded Dec 15, 2023 at 92nd Street Y, New York.
