Le rempart des Béguines

Movie · 1972–1978 · 2 people

Le rempart des Béguines is a 1972 French-Italian drama directed by Guy Casaril, who also adapted the screenplay himself. Nicole Courcel and Anicée Alvina lead the cast, with Harry-Max and Venantino Venantini in supporting roles. The story is drawn from a 1951 novel of the same title by Belgian writer Françoise Mallet-Joris, and its setting closely echoes Antwerp, the author's own hometown.

Beyond its coming-of-age narrative, the picture explores questions of social class alongside a relationship that crosses generational lines between two women, a subject reflected in Wikidata's classification of the work as an LGBTQ-related drama. The film opened in French cinemas on 20 September 1972, and Wikidata also records later dates through 1978, suggesting it continued to circulate or reach additional markets over the following years. No production company or runtime details survive in the available sources.
