SUMMARY:SATURDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: “A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS” (1964) FREE SCREENING
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR FREE TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 3 p.m. Saturday\, March 21st\, for Sergio Leone’s 1964 Spaghetti Western “A Fistful of Dollars.”  \nThis screening is part of a special Saturday series at the Cosford celebrating the work of visionary filmmaker Sergio Leone and his legendary “Dollars Trilogy” — “A Fistful of Dollars” (1964)\, “For a Few Dollars More” (1965)\, and “The Good\, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).” \nWith these films\, Leone reinvented the Western. Drawing inspiration from Hollywood traditions while sharply critiquing American mythology\, the trilogy strips away the genre’s romantic heroism and replaces it with a stark\, morally ambiguous world defined by greed\, violence\, and survival. The result helped launch the “Spaghetti Western” and forever changed the landscape of the genre. \nThis spring\, experience the entire trilogy on the big screen as it was meant to be seen\, presented in stunning 4K. This series is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Norton Herrick Center for Motion Picture Studies at the University of Miami. \nA FISTFUL OF DOLLARS | 1964 | DIRECTOR: Sergio Leone | WITH:Clint Eastwood\, Marianne Koch\, Gian Maria Volontè | RATED R for violence| RUNNING TIME: 1H 39M | 4K RESTORATION \nThe film that started it all… An instant international phenomenon\, this hard-hitting epic stunned audiences with its violence\, gritty realism and tongue-in-cheek humor. A lean\, cold-eyed\, cobra-quick gunfighter (Clint Eastwood) arrives in a grim and dusty border town where two rival bands of smugglers terrorize the impoverished citizens.  \nThough he receives lucrative offers of employment from each gang\, his loyalty cannot be bought. He accepts both jobs…and sets in motion a deadly plan to destroy the criminals\, pitting one against the other in a series of brilliantly orchestrated setups\, showdowns and deadly confrontations. \nAdmission is FREE\, but registration is required at the link above. The screening will include a brief introduction by Cosford Cinema Co-Manger Katlyn Aviles\, Ph.D.  \n  \n\n  \n“There are three dialogue-free scenes in the quintessential 1964 spaghetti western A Fistful of Dollars — in which Clint Eastwood’s nameless antihero pits the sadistic Rojo brothers against corrupt sheriff John Baxter (Wolfgang Lukschy) — that every genre-loving moviegoer should see at least once projected on a theater screen. \nIn the first of these formative sequences\, Eastwood and co-star Marianne Koch — as the understandably suspicious Marisol\, a reluctant hostage of cold-blooded murderer Ramon Rojo (Gian Maria Volontè)  — create a playful air of anticipation by exchanging a few knowing glances. Eastwood cautiously nods at Koch after she squints at him with disapproval from an open window. She parts her lips; he freezes\, interested\, but she slams the window shut anyway. The scene ends once he slowly relaxes his toned cheek muscles. \nThe next essential sequence finds Marisol reunited with her bawling son Jesus (Nino Del Arco) and her stoic husband\, Julian (Daniel Martín). Director Sergio Leone and editor Roberto Cinquini masterfully crosscut between Eastwood and his co-stars to suggest that a gunfight could break out at any moment. This scene’s pacing and shot choices make it as tense as Leone’s most spectacular action set pieces. \nFor final proof that looks can kill\, see the film’s third unmissable sequence: the concluding shootout\, when Eastwood and Volontè are reduced to a pair of eyes as their characters quickly reload. You need a big screen to behold fully these close-ups of Volontè’s devastating glare and Eastwood’s iconic scowl.” – Simon Abrams\, The Village Voice

SUMMARY:SATURDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: “FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE” (1965) FREE SCREENING
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR FREE TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 3 p.m. Saturday\, March 28th\, for Sergio Leone’s 1965 Spaghetti Western “For a Few Dollars More.” \nThis screening is part of a special Saturday series at the Cosford celebrating the work of visionary filmmaker Sergio Leone and his legendary “Dollars Trilogy” — “A Fistful of Dollars” (1964)\, “For a Few Dollars More” (1965)\, and “The Good\, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).” \nWith these films\, Leone reinvented the Western. Drawing inspiration from Hollywood traditions while sharply critiquing American mythology\, the trilogy strips away the genre’s romantic heroism and replaces it with a stark\, morally ambiguous world defined by greed\, violence\, and survival.

This series is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Norton Herrick Center for Motion Picture Studies at the University of Miami. \nFOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE | 1965 | DIRECTOR: Sergio Leone | WITH:Clint Eastwood\, Lee Van Cleef\, Gian Maria Volontè | RATED R for violence| RUNNING TIME: 2H 12M | 4K RESTORATION \nScreen legends Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef co-star as two rival bounty hunters who join forces to bring murderous bandit El Indio (Gian Maria Volontè) and his vicious gang of criminals to justice. But all is not as it seems in this hard-hitting second installment of Sergio Leone’s trilogy starring Eastwood as the famed “Man with No Name.” Music by legendary composer Ennio Morricone with a stellar cast that includes spaghetti western legends Mario Brega (“A Fistful of Dollars”)\, Luigi Pistilli (“Death Rides a Horse”)\, Aldo Sambrell (“Navajo Joe”) and Klaus Kinski (“The Great Silence”). \nAdmission is FREE\, but registration is required at the link above. The screening will include a brief introduction by Cosford Cinema Co-Manger Katlyn Aviles\, Ph.D.  \n\n“So Westerns had situations\, instantly recognizable. The man in the black hat strikes a match on the suspenders of a tough guy at the bar. Two gunmen face each other at each end of a long alley. “For a Few Dollars More” has lots of stuff like that\, but it’s on a larger\, more melodramatic scale\, if that’s possible. Shoot-outs aren’t over in a few minutes like they were in “High Noon.” They last forever. \nThis is a sequel to “A Fistful of Dollars\,” which I didn’t see but wish I had. Both films were shot in Italy\, with English-speaking actors in the leads and Italians in the bit parts with dubbed dialog. Clint Eastwood\, as The Man With No Name\, is formidable: He chews and spits out dozens of cigars. \nLee Van Cleef\, as Col. Mortimer\, looks like an infinitely weary Clark Gable. He carries an arsenal with him. After a memorable duel in which they shoot each other’s hats to pieces\, Eastwood and Van Cleef join up to collect the reward for the desperado Indio (Gian Maria Volonte). \nThe rest of the film is one great old Western cliché after another. They aren’t done well\, but they’re over-done well\, and every situation is drawn out so that you can savor it.” – Roger Ebert

SUMMARY:SATURDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: “THE GOOD\, THE BAD\, AND THE UGLY” (1966) FREE SCREENING
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR FREE TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 3 p.m. Saturday\, April 4th\, for Sergio Leone’s 1966 Spaghetti Western “The Good\, the Bad and the Ugly.” \nThis screening is part of a special Saturday series at the Cosford celebrating the work of visionary filmmaker Sergio Leone and his legendary “Dollars Trilogy” — “A Fistful of Dollars” (1964)\, “For a Few Dollars More” (1965)\, and “The Good\, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).” \nWith these films\, Leone reinvented the Western. Drawing inspiration from Hollywood traditions while sharply critiquing American mythology\, the trilogy strips away the genre’s romantic heroism and replaces it with a stark\, morally ambiguous world defined by greed\, violence\, and survival. The result helped launch the “Spaghetti Western” and forever changed the landscape of the genre. \nThis spring\, experience the entire trilogy on the big screen as it was meant to be seen\, presented in stunning 4K. This series is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Norton Herrick Center for Motion Picture Studies at the University of Miami. \nTHE GOOD\, THE BAD\, AND THE UGLY | 1966 | DIRECTOR: Sergio Leone | WITH:Clint Eastwood\, Lee Van Cleef\, Eli Wallach | RATED R for violence | RUNNING TIME: 2H 58M | 4K RESTORATION \nBy far the most ambitious\, unflinchingly graphic and stylistically influential western ever made\, “The Good\, the Bad and the Ugly” is a classic actioner shot through with a volatile mix of myth and realism. Screen legend Clint Eastwood (“A Fistful of Dollars”) returns as “The Man with No Name\,” this time teaming with two gunslingers to pursue a cache of $200\,000 and letting no one\, not even warring factions in a civil war\, stand in their way. From sun-drenched panoramas to bold hard close-ups\, exceptional camerawork captures the beauty and cruelty of the barren landscape and the hardened characters who stride unwaveringly through it.  \nHailed as “the best directed movie of all time” by Quentin Tarantino\, this epic masterpiece was directed by the great Sergio Leone and co-stars Lee Van Cleef (“For a Few Dollars More”) as Angel Eyes and Eli Wallach (“The Magnificent Seven”) in the role of Tuco. Music by legendary composer Ennio Morricone. \nAdmission is FREE\, but registration is required at the link above. The screening will include a brief introduction by Cosford Cinema Co-Manger Katlyn Aviles\, Ph.D.  \n\n“Perhaps it is the subtly foreign flavor of the spaghetti trilogy\, and especially the masterpiece “The Good\, the Bad and the Ugly\,” that suggests the films come from a different universe than traditional Westerns. Instead of tame Hollywood extras from central casting\, we get locals who must have been hired near the Spanish locations–men who look long-weathered by work and the sun. Consider the legless beggar who uses his arms to propel himself into a saloon\, shouting\, “Hand me down a whiskey!” \nJohn Ford made Monument Valley the home turf of his Western characters\, and he made great films there\, but there is something new and strange about Leone’s menacing Spanish vistas. We haven’t seen these deserts before. John Wayne has never been here. Leone’s stories are a heightened dream in which everything is bigger\, starker\, more brutal\, more dramatic\, than life. \nLeone tells the story more with pictures than words. Examine the masterful scene in the cemetery. A fortune in gold is said to be buried in one of the graves\, and three men have assembled\, all hoping to get it. The actors are Clint Eastwood (the Good)\, Lee Van Cleef (the Bad)\, and Eli Wallach (the Ugly). Each man points a pistol at the other. If one shoots\, they all shoot\, and all die. Unless two decide to shoot the third man before he can shoot either one of them. But which two\, and which third? \nLeone draws this scene out beyond all reason\, beginning in long shot and working in to closeups of firearms\, faces\, eyes\, and lots of sweat and flies. He seems to be testing himself\, to see how long he can maintain the suspense. Or is it even suspense\, really? It may be entirely an exercise in style\, a deliberate manipulation by the director\, intended to draw attention to itself. If you savor the boldness with which Leone flirts with parody\, you understand his method. This is not a story\, but a celebration of bold gestures.”  – Roger Ebert
