SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "NIGHTS OF CABIRIA" (1957)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on July 14 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring director Federico Fellini’s Oscar-winning “Nights of Cabiria” (1957) in digital projection. \nNIGHTS OF CABIRIA | 1957 | DIRECTOR: Federico Fellini | WITH: Giuletta Masina\, Francois Perier\, Franca Marzi | RUNNING TIME: 1H 50M | UNRATED adult themes | DIGITAL PROJECTION \nIn the fifth of their immortal collaborations\, Federico Fellini and the exquisitely expressive Giulietta Masina completed the creation of one of the most indelible characters in all of cinema: Cabiria\, an irrepressible\, fiercely independent sex worker who\, as she moves through the sea of Rome’s humanity\, through adversity and heartbreak\, must rely on herself—and her own indomitable spirit—to stay standing. \nWinner of the best actress prize at Cannes for Masina and the Academy Award for best foreign-language film\, Nights of Cabiria brought the early\, neorealist-influenced phase of Fellini’s career to a transcendent close with its sublimely heartbreaking yet hopeful final image\, which embodies\, perhaps more than any other in the director’s body of work\, the blend of the bitter and the sweet that define his vision of the world. \n\n  \n“Nights of Cabiria” plays like a plucky collaboration on an adult theme between Fellini and Chaplin. Masina deliberately based her Cabiria on the Little Tramp\, I think–most obviously with some business with an umbrella\, and a struggle with the curtains in a nightclub. But while Chaplin’s character inhabited a world of stock villains and happy endings\, Cabiria survives at the low end of Rome’s prostitution trade. \n“When she’s picked up by a famous actor and he asks her if she works the Via Veneto\, the center of Rome’s glitz\, she replies matter-of-factly that\, no\, she prefers the Archeological Passage\, because she can commute there on the subway. \n“Cabiria is a working girl. Not a sentimentalized one\, as in “Sweet Charity\,” the Broadway musical and movie based on this story\, but a tough cookie who climbs into truck cabs\, gets in fights and hides in the bushes during police raids. \n“She’s proud to own her own house–a tiny shack in an industrial wasteland–and she dreams of sooner or later finding true romance\, but her taste in men is dangerous\, it’s so trusting; the movie opens with her current lover and pimp stealing her purse and shoving her into the river to drown. \n“Of all his characters\, Fellini once said\, Cabiria was the only one he was still worried about. In 1992\, when Fellini was given an honorary career Oscar\, he looked down from the podium to Masina sitting in the front row and told her not to cry. The camera cut to her face\, showing her smiling bravely through her tears\, and there was Cabiria.” — Roger Ebert \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez. Tickets are $5 and available at link above. Students use code UMSTUDENT at checkout for free admission. Cane card must be shown at the door.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "PLAYTIME" (1967)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on July 21 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring actor-director Jacques Tati’s enchanting “PlayTime” (1967) in digital projection. \nPLAYTIME | 1967 | DIRECTOR: Jacques Tati | WITH: Jacques Tati\, Barbara Dennek\, Rita Maiden | RUNNING TIME: 2H 35M | UNRATED no offensive material | 2K DCP PROJECTION \nJacques Tati’s gloriously choreographed\, nearly wordless comedies about confusion in an age of high technology reached their apotheosis with PlayTime. For this monumental achievement\, a nearly three-year-long\, bank-breaking production\, Tati again thrust the lovably old-fashioned Monsieur Hulot\, along with a host of other lost souls\, into a baffling modern world\, this time Paris. \nWith every inch of its superwide frame crammed with hilarity and inventiveness\, PlayTime is a lasting record of a modern era tiptoeing on the edge of oblivion. \n\n  \n“Playtime is a movie that unfolds entirely in a public space. Even the strange sequence showing us adjacent living rooms is shot exclusively from the street; and the only time we see Barbara in her hotel room is when a maid delivers her evening dress. So there’s something inappropriate and contrary to Tati’s design for the film about its being viewed in private spaces\, especially on any screen smaller than oneself. \n“Playtime assumes a precise contiguity and continuity with the public space of a movie theater\, where we share its experience with others—just as the customers and employees of the Royal Garden eventually manage to carve out a common social investment in an establishment that’s gradually disintegrating around them. Even if we sometimes wind up laughing at different gags\, we’re all laughing to some degree at ourselves\, and the sense of mutual recognition is crucial. \n“Mobile phones have sadly made the sense of public urban space as it exists in Playtime almost archaic\, a kind of lost paradise. The utopian vision of shared space that informs the latter scenes—beginning in the new Royal Garden restaurant at night and continuing the next morning in a drugstore and on the streets of Paris—is made unthinkable by mobile phones\, whose use can be said to constitute both a depletion and a form of denial of public space\, especially because the people using them tend to ignore the other people in immediate physical proximity to them. \n“Nevertheless\, given his capacity to keep abreast of social changes\, I have little doubt that Tati\, if he were alive today\, could and probably would construct wonderful gags involving the use of these phones. And if he were making Playtime now\, I suspect he’d most likely be inventing gags for the first part that involved mobile phones\, and then would have to find ways of destroying or disempowering them to make way for the second part. (It’s hardly accidental that his most brilliantly and elaborately developed gag involves the shattering of glass\, another social barrier.)” — Jonathan Rosenbaum \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez.

SUMMARY:"20\,000 SPECIES OF BEES" FREE PREVIEW SCREENING
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR FREE TICKETS HERE\nIn conjunction with Miami Dade College and the Miami Film Festival\, you are invited to a free advance screening of the Spanish coming-of-age drama “20\,000 Species of Bees” at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday\, July 23. \n20\,000 SPECIES OF BEES | 2023| WRITER-DIRECTOR: Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren | WITH: Sofia Otero\, Patricia Lopez Arnaiz\, Ane Gabarain | RUNNING TIME: 2H 5M | UNRATED Contains sexual content\, nudity\, adult themes | IN SPANISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | 2K DCP projection \nIn her filmmaking debut\, writer-director Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren tells the story of an eight year-old girl who\, unhappy in her skin and at odds with her family\, finally recognizes her gender over the course of one pivotal summer\, and persuades others to recognize it too. \n\nAdmission is free but registration required at link below. Seating is limited. \n“Alternately mischievous and diffident\, as her character’s swinging moods and modes dictate\, Otero’s performance in the lead is utterly winning; a late scene in which she experiments with wearing a dress in public requires a subtle spectrum of emotions and body language cues from her\, and it’s to Solaguren’s credit that these turns never feel forced or affected. Indeed the film’s whole ensemble\, even at its most fractiously opposed\, is steered toward creased\, careworn restraint rather than shouty grandstanding.” — Guy Lodge\, Variety

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "CITY OF GOD" (2002)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on July 28 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring co-director Fernando Meirelles’ Oscar-nominated drama “City of God” (2002) in digital projection. \nCITY OF GOD | 2002 | CO-DIRECTORS: Fernando Meirelles\, Katia Lund | WITH: Alexandre Rodrigues\, Leandro Firmino\, Matheus Nachtergaele | RUNNING TIME: 2H 10M | RATED R for strong bloody violence\, vulgar language\, adult themes | DIGITAL PROJECTION \nNominated for four Oscars\, including Best Director\, Best Adapted Screenplay\, Best Editing and Best Cinematography\, this hyper-kinetic\, harrowing and exhilarating drama is set in the slums of Rio\, Brazil\, where two kids’ paths diverge as one struggles to become a photographer and the other a kingpin. \n  \n\n  \n“”City of God” churns with furious energy as it plunges into the story of the slum gangs of Rio de Janeiro. Breathtaking and terrifying\, urgently involved with its characters\, it announces a new director of great gifts and passions: Fernando Meirelles. The film has been compared with Scorsese’s “GoodFellas\,” and it deserves the comparison. Scorsese’s film began with a narrator who said that for as long as he could remember he wanted to be a gangster. The narrator of this film seems to have had no other choice. \n“The movie takes place in slums constructed by Rio to isolate the poor people from the city center. They have grown into places teeming with life\, color\, music and excitement–and also with danger\, for the law is absent and violent gangs rule the streets. \n“In the virtuoso sequence opening the picture\, a gang is holding a picnic for its members when a chicken escapes. Among those chasing it is Rocket\, the narrator. He suddenly finds himself between two armed lines: the gang on one side\, the cops on the other. \n“Working with the cinematographer Cesar Charlone\, director Meirelles uses quick-cutting and a mobile\, hand-held camera to tell his story with the haste and detail it deserves. Sometimes those devices can create a film that is merely busy\, but “City of God” feels like sight itself\, as we look here and then there\, with danger or opportunity everywhere.” — Roger Ebert \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez.
