SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "JOHNNY GUITAR" (1954)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Aug. 3\, for a screening of “Johnny Guitar\,” director Nicholas Ray’s 1954 landmark western starring Joan Crawford as a strong-willed female saloon owner who is wrongly suspected of murder and bank robbery after helping a wounded gang member. \nJOHNNY GUITAR | 1954 | DIRECTOR: Nicholas Ray | WITH: Joan Crawford\, Sterling Hayden\, Mercedes McCambridge\, Ernest Borgnine\, John Carradine | RUNNING TIME: 1H 50M | UNRATED Contains mild violence \n“The Western is the prime political genre\, and Nicholas Ray’s “Johnny Guitar” is one of the greatest Westerns\, but its political ideas are hardly the source of its enduring—and controversial—power. What makes the movie is the performances by its lead actors\, Joan Crawford and Sterling Hayden\, which are different in kind from any others that I’ve seen\, including by those actors elsewhere. \n“Performances are always connected to direction\, but the ones in “Johnny Guitar” appear even more so—in terms of the composition of images\, the positioning of actors relative to one another and to the décor\, and\, above all\, the movie’s general tone—than literally any Hollywood movie I know\, including such epochally inventive ones as “Citizen Kane” and “Vertigo.” Without any intellectual palaver\, metafictional games\, or reflexive winks\, “Johnny Guitar” is a theory of cinema in motion. \nhttps://youtu.be/fR2QIh4mYso?si=xX-uNWFfw16Q5ioN \n  \n“Even in the studio world of seductive artifice\, “Johnny Guitar” stands out; it achieves an unmatched height of stylized behavior. The film is a sort of cinematic opera in which scenes have the force of arias\, in which dialogue less advances the action than it adorns the movie like bruising and vulnerable lyric poetry\, in which the framing of actors forms a unique visual music—even unique in the career of its director\, Nicholas Ray\, who made many enduring classics (such as “In a Lonely Place” and “Rebel Without a Cause”) but nowhere else reached the singular intensity and stylistic purity of “Johnny Guitar.” \n“It’s among the very heights of what the Hollywood system\, for all its distortions and exclusions\, was capable of—and\, even more important\, it represents the furthest extreme that the star system could produce or allow.” — Richard Brody\, New Yorker \nTickets are $6 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: "GOOD MORNING" (1959)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Aug. 17 for director Yajusiro Ozu’s endearing “Good Morning” (1959)\, a lighthearted take on the filmmaker’s perennial theme of the challenges of inter­generational relationships. \nThe movie tells the story of two young boys who stop speaking in protest after their parents refuse to buy a television set. Ozu weaves a wealth of subtle gags through a family portrait as rich as those of his dramatic films\, mocking the foibles of the adult world through the eyes of his child protagonists. \nShot in stunning color and set in a suburb of Tokyo where housewives gossip about the neighbors’ new washing machine and unemployed husbands look for work as door-to-door salesmen\, this charming comedy refashions Ozu’s own silent classic “I Was Born\, But . . .” to gently satirize consumerism in postwar Japan. \nThe film will be projected in 2K digital format. \n\n  \n“From its very opening\, Good Morning (1959) is deeply and delightfully musical\, both in the orchestration of static visual elements in its first two shots and in its rhythmic patterns of human movement\, as various figures cross the pathways between houses\, between houses and hill\, and on top of the hill itself—always\, mysteriously\, moving from right to left. And what could be more musical than the opening gag\, occurring on the same sunny hilltop\, of little boys farting for their own amusement\, still another form of theme and variations? \n“Good Morning has its own ways of ironically comparing children and grown-ups\, such as juxtaposing timid small talk between a youthful couple waiting for a train with the schoolboys’ farting game. (There is also an implicit comparison in the depiction of the adults’ childish envy when one household purchases a TV set and another a new washing machine.)  Movie posters for Stanley Kramer’s The Defiant Ones and Louis Malle’s The Lovers\, combined with various glimpses of sumo wrestlers on TV\, allude not only to the recalcitrant sons but also to a sense of antagonistic parties chained together by circumstance that often seems to function just below the surface of the everyday pleasantries. \n“A grandmother muttering gripes between her prayers\, the drunken Tomizawa coming home to the wrong house\, the young scat-singing couple being quietly hounded out of the community\, a thoughtful Keitaro wondering if television will “produce 100 million idiots”—all these moments are characteristically uninflected\, and each goes straight to the heart of the film.” — Jonathan Rosenbaum \nTickets are $6 and available at the link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "DAY FOR NIGHT" (1973)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Aug. 24th\, for a rare theatrical screening of 1973’s “Day for Night\,” director Francois Truffaut love letter to movies and the people who make them. \nTruffaut himself appears as the harried director of a frivolous melodrama\, the shooting of which is plagued by the whims of a neurotic actor (Jean-Pierre Léaud)\, an aging but still forceful Italian diva (Valentina Cortese)\, and a British ingenue haunted by personal scandal (Jacqueline Bisset). An irreverent paean to the prosaic craft of cinema as well as a delightful human comedy about the pitfalls of sex and romance\, “Day for Night” is buoyed by robust performances and a sparkling score by the legendary Georges Delerue. \n\n  \n“Probably no story since “The 400 Blows” had excited Truffaut as much as “Day for Night.” After all\, it’s a film about filmmaking from a celebrated film lover; it’s hard to see how the subject could have failed to energize him. But somehow\, despite our high expectations\, the movie still manages to surprise us with how good it is—it’s magical\, in fact. Nothing in it feels like the product of meticulous design\, even as the craft behind the simplest moments of a feature film is exposed. Depicting the shoot\, from first day to last\, of a movie called “Meet Pamela\,” “Day for Night” seems effortless\, as if this was the movie Truffaut had been preparing for all his life. \n“It’s hard to believe that the movie’s structure had never been used before\, but I don’t think it had. In many ways\, “Day for Night” plays as a mockumentary\, an impression strengthened by Truffaut’s appearance as the director\, Ferrand\, and Truffaut’s frequent star Jean-Pierre Léaud’s as Alphonse. The third team member playing himself is composer Georges Delerue\, who is heard only over the phone but is referred to by his full name. \n“Making movies can be a way for a movie lover to live inside movies. And once in a while\, such a filmmaker might create something so beautiful the audience will want to climb inside too.” — David Cairns \nTickets are $6 and available at the link above.
