The University of Cincinnati and Alliance Française present a partnered Winter French Film Series at Clifton’s Esquire Theatre. The series starts with the first of three contemporary social comedies: Cédric Klapisch’s 2011 My Piece of the Pie. In this film, a woman takes a job as a maid for a powerful broker who helped close down her factory. Subsequent films are Belgian L’iceberg (Feb. 3) and Samba (Feb. 10), from the directors of the French hit The Intouchables.
7:30 p.m. Wednesday. $9.75 adults; $7 seniors. Esquire Theatre, 320 Ludlow Ave., Clifton, esquiretheatre.com.
