SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "IRMA VEP" (1996)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, June 8th for director Oliver Assayas’ dazzling film-industry satire “Irma Vep\,” starring Maggie Cheung\, which inspired the recent HBO miniseries. \nIRMA VEP | 1996 | DIRECTOR: Oliver Assayas | WITH: Maggie Cheung\, Jean-Pierre Léaud\, Nathalie Richard\, Nathalie Boutefeu | UNRATED contains sexual situations and adult content | RUNNING TIME: 1H 39M | In English and French with English subtitles \nOlivier Assayas’s live-wire international breakthrough stars a magnetic Maggie Cheung as a version of herself: a Hong Kong action-movie star who arrives in Paris to play the latex-clad lead in a remake of Louis Feuillade’s classic silent crime serial Les vampires. \nWhat she finds is a behind-the-scenes tangle of barely controlled chaos as egos clash\, romantic attractions simmer\, and an obsessive director drives himself to the brink to realize his vision. \nBlending blasts of silent cinema\, martial-arts flicks\, and the music of Sonic Youth and Luna into a hallucinatory swirl of postmodern cool\, Assayas composes in “Irma Vep” a witty critique of the nineties French film industry and the perennial tension between art and commercial entertainment. \n\n  \n“There are innumerable great touches\, big and small\, in ‘Irma Vep\,’ which is organic and alive like few movies ever are. (It was shot on the fly in three weeks\, and the spontaneity shows.) But the one sequence that everyone who’s seen the film remembers is a restless Maggie slipping into her catsuit after hours and skulking around the hotel like Irma Vep in the movie. Only this time\, she embodies the role effortlessly—she’s sexy\, mysterious\, resourceful\, and liberated. — Scott Tobias\, The AV Club \nTickets are $6 (including service charge) and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "TO DIE FOR" (1995)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, June 15th\, for a screening of the 1995 dark-comedy classic “To Die For\,” starring Nicole Kidman\, Matt Dillon and Joaquin Phoenix. \nTO DIE FOR | 1995 | DIRECTOR: Gus Van Sant | WITH: Nicole Kidman\, Matt Dillon\, Joaquin Phoenix\, Casey Affleck\, Ileana Douglas | RATED R for vulgar language\, sexual content and brief violence | RUNNING TIME: 1H 46M \nThe all-American obsession with celebrity turns monstrous in this deliciously subversive (and disturbingly prescient) satire of our television-mediated\, true-crime-obsessed age. \nIn a career breakthrough\, Nicole Kidman delivers a diabolical deconstruction of the girl next door as a local TV weather reporter whose perfectly perky facade belies a murderous heart\, as her ruthless pursuit of fame ensnares three disaffected teens in a sordid\, tabloid-ready scandal. \nDeftly deploying shifting perspectives\, faux-documentary interviews\, and a supporting cast featuring Joaquin Phoenix\, Matt Dillon\, and Casey Affleck\, director Gus Van Sant adds provocative layers of meaning to this darkly funny examination of suburban sociopathy. \n\n  \n“To Die For” is the kind of movie that’s merciless with its characters\, and Kidman is superb at making Suzanne into someone who is not only stupid\, vain and egomaniacal (we’ve seen that before) but also vulnerably human. She represents\, on a large scale\, feelings we have all had in smaller and sneakier ways. She simply lacks skill in concealing them. \n“The film is filled with perfect character studies. Dillon\, the former teen idol whose acting has always been underrated\, here turns in a sly comic performance as a man dazzled by beauty but seduced by comfort. Illeana Douglas is Janice\, Suzanne’s ice-skating sister-in-law\, who spots her as a phony and makes life uncomfortable by calling her on it. \n“Finally\, though\, the movie is about Suzanne\, and Nicole Kidman’s work here is inspired. Her clothes\, her makeup\, her hair\, her speech\, her manner\, even the way she carries herself (as if aware of the eyes of millions) are all brought to a perfect pitch: Her Suzanne is so utterly absorbed in being herself that there is an eerie conviction\, even in the comedy. She plays Suzanne as the kind of woman who pities us – because we aren’t her\, and you know what? We never will be.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $6 (including service charge) and available at link above. Students use code STUDENT at checkout for free admission (must show student ID at the door).

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "LA PROMESSE" (1996)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, June 22 for the heartfelt coming-of-age drama “La promesse” (“The Promise”)\, the directorial debut of acclaimed Belgian filmmaking brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. \nLA PROMESSE | 1996 | DIRECTORS: Jean-Pierre Dardenne\, Luc Dardenne | WITH: Jérémie Renier\, Olivia Gourmet\, Assita Ouedraogo | RUNNING TIME: 1H 30M | UNRATED: Adult themes | In French with English subtitles \n“La promesse” is the breakthrough feature from Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne\, who would go on to become a force in world filmmaking. \nThe brothers brought the unerring eye for detail and the compassion for those on society’s lowest rungs developed in their earlier documentary work to this absorbing drama about a teenager (Jérémie Renier) gradually coming to understand the implications of his father’s making a living through the exploitation of undocumented workers. \nFilmed in the Dardennes’ industrial hometown of Seraing\, Belgium\, “La promesse” is a brilliantly economical and observant tale of a boy’s troubled moral awakening. \n\n  \n“Morality is a given in the movies; everyone\, even the worst of creatures\, knows if they’re bad or good. In “La Promesse\,” an exceptional film from Belgium\, all of that is reversed as a sense of right and wrong struggles to emerge in a young man who never knew there was a difference. The conflicts involved are intense and absorbing\, proving that compelling moral dilemmas make for the most dramatic cinema. \n““La Promesse” makes being politically relevant and philosophically thoughtful so simple and involving that the story seems to be telling itself. Written and directed by Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne\, a pair of filmmaking brothers\, it is made with such unobtrusive sureness that it’s able to exert great power without forcing anything. \n“Among the many things it does right\, “La Promesse” refuses to even consider glib solutions. This film understands that moral choices are a painful\, troublesome business\, that decisions to do the right thing are not simple to take and hardly make things easier. Nothing in life takes more courage\, and no kind of filmmaking offers greater rewards.” — Kenneth Turan\, Los Angeles Times \nTickets are $6 (including service charge) and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "TO SLEEP WITH ANGER" (1990)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, June 29\, for a rare screening of Charles Burnett’s 1990 drama “To Sleep with Anger\,” about a family living in South Central Los Angeles who receive a visit from a charismatic stranger (Danny Glover). \nTO SLEEP WITH ANGER | 1990 | WRITER-DIRECTOR: Charles Burnett | WITH: Danny Glover\, Paul Butler\, Mary Alice\, Carl Lumbly\, Sheryl Lee Ralph | RUNNING TIME: 1H 42M | RATED: PG for adult themes \nA slow-burning masterwork of the early 1990s\, this third feature by Charles Burnett is a singular piece of American mythmaking. \nIn a towering performance\, Danny Glover plays the enigmatic southern drifter Harry\, a devilish charmer who turns up out of the blue on the South Central Los Angeles doorstep of his old friends. In short order\, Harry’s presence seems to cast a chaotic spell on what appeared to be a peaceful household\, exposing smoldering tensions between parents and children\, tradition and change\, virtue and temptation. \nInterweaving evocative strains of gospel and blues with rich\, poetic-realist images\, “To Sleep with Anger” is a sublimely stirring film from an autonomous artistic sensibility\, a portrait of family resilience steeped in the traditions of African American mysticism and folklore. \n\n  \n“Charles Burnett’s “To Sleep With Anger” is a subtle kind of horror movie in which the unwelcome visitor is not a slasher or a cartoon character\, but a soft-spoken relative named Harry\, getting on a bit in years\, well-dressed\, seemingly courteous. The tension in the movie is created as he stays and stays\, until he is clearly unwelcome and yet no one can figure out a way to get rid of him. And the horror element comes as it begins to dawn on us\, and the characters in the movie\, that this man is some sort of emissary of evil. Perhaps not Satan precisely\, but familiar with the neighborhood. \n“Harry is played in the movie by Danny Glover\, who usually plays the most pleasant of men; he is the easy-going member of the team in the “Lethal Weapon” movies. Here his very pleasantness makes him more sinister. His good manners turn oily\, somehow\, and the others begin to clear a space around him\, physically and in conversation. Glover is an actor of considerable presence\, and here he lets us know his character is from hell\, and hardly has to raise his voice.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $6 and available at link above.
