Greetings, film friends. Here are the coming attractions:
Friday 2/15: No films scheduled.
Friday 2/22: 1:00 Hiroshima, Mon Amour (1959); 3:00 My Night at Maud’s (1969).
Emmanuele Riva and Jean-Louis Trintignant are drawing raves playing the old couple in the Oscar-nominated film Amour, concurrently playing at Images Cinema. (See: http://www.imagescinema.org/films/amour ) I’m guessing many of us would be moved to see them in their signature films of four or five decades ago, two classics of the French New Wave, directed by Alain Resnais and Eric Rohmer respectively. These films ought to bring home with particular force the theme of aging in the new film.
Saturday 2/23: 2:00 The Deer Hunter (1978, 182 min.) Part of Widescreen Wonders film series at the Clark. (See: http://www.clarkart.edu/visit/calendar-of-events-category.cfm?CID=4 )
Monday 2/25 (at Images Cinema): After 2 pm screening of Amour (2012), I plan to lead a discussion on Michael Haneke and his acclaimed new film starring Riva and Trintignant.
Friday 3/1: 1:00 Heaven’s Gate (1980, 216 min). Michael Cimino followed Oscar haul for The Deer Hunter with this notoriously expensive flop that derailed his career. Continuing to tie Cinema Salon into Widescreen Wonders, we will give this epic Western -- starring Kris Kristofferson, Isabelle Huppert, and many other well-known faces -- the reevaluation it deserves, in a newly-released hi-def director’s cut.
For various reasons, there will be no more Cinema Salon screenings in March. Check back for coming attractions in April.
