As spring blossoms at the Modern, we are excited to renew our annual call to support the Docent Memorial Art Camp Appeal. For those unfamiliar with this effort, since 2009 (excluding pandemic years) we have honored the memory and dedication of docents who have served before and alongside us by helping young people in need attend Art Camp and Art Study. In recent years we’ve commemorated the contributions of Don Matheson, Martin Posner, Janice Raoul, Robert Turner III, and many others who made an enduring imprint on the Modern’s docent program.

The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe

Yves Robert, 1972
PG; 90 minutes; French with English subtitles

Desperate to protect his job from a bureaucratic rival, the head of the French secret service (Jean Rochefort) picks outs a stranger, François Perrin (Pierre Richard), from a Paris crowd and singles him out as a master spy who should be tracked very closely. In reality, François is an amiable, if clumsy, classical violinist whose complete obliviousness to the agents watching him only further convinces them that they have a major undercover operative in their sights.
