SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "TRUE LOVE" (1989)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on June 2 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring the 1989 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize winner “True Love” in digital projection. \nTRUE LOVE | 1989 | DIRECTOR: Nancy Savoca | WITH: Annabella Sciorra\, Ron Eldard\, Aida Turturro\, Roger Rignack | RUNNING TIME: 1H 44M | RATED R for language | DIGITAL PROJECTION \nDonna and Michael are getting married. But first\, they have to plan the reception\, get the tux\, buy the rings\, and cope with their own uncertainty about the decision. Michael fears commitment. Donna has her doubts about Michael’s immaturity. Both are getting cold feet. \n  \n\n  \n“There is a sense in “True Love” that the marriage preparations lead to marriage almost through the sheer force of momentum. A hall has to be hired. A menu has to be selected (with mashed potatoes dyed to match the color of the bridesmaids’ dresses). Families and friends swarm about the two stars of the event\, until they hardly have time to communicate with each other. \n“But they do talk. And gradually\, as we listen\, we begin to realize that “True Love” is deeper than it first seems. The movie begins as a comedy of wedding preparations and lifestyles\, but as it goes along and we get to know Donna and Michael better\, we begin to suspect that these people should never get married\, that Michael is an immature alcoholic and that in some ways Donna knows it but lacks the determination to call off the ceremony.” — 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: "UMBERTO D." (1952)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on June 9 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring director Vittoria De Sica’s unforgettable “Umberto D.” (1952) in 2K DCP projection. \nUMBERTO D. | 1952 | DIRECTOR: Vittorio De Sica | WITH: Carlo Battisti\, Maria Pia Casilio\, Lina Gennari | RUNNING TIME: 1H 29M | UNRATED no offensive material | 2K DIGITAL PROJECTION \nThis neorealist masterpiece by Vittorio De Sica follows an elderly pensioner as he strives to make ends meet during Italy’s postwar economic recovery. Alone except for his dog\, Flike\, Umberto struggles to maintain his dignity in a city where human kindness seems to have been swallowed up by the forces of modernization. \nHis simple quest to satisfy his basic needs—food\, shelter\, companionship—makes for one of the most heartbreaking stories ever filmed\, and an essential classic of world cinema. \n  \n\n  \n“Umberto D. is perhaps the most astringent film ever made about a poor old man and his dog. Critics today tend to like the astringent parts: the long\, deliberately undramatic sequences full of mundane activity (such as a housemaid’s morning routine)\, performed with little or no dialogue and shot as if in real time. People who admire the work of such contemporary filmmakers as Hou Hsiao-hsien\, Chantal Akerman\, and Abbas Kiarostami can see something up-to-date in this aspect of Umberto D.\, and even recognize in it a principal source of today’s cinema of the steady gaze. \nThese same critics generally dislike the pooch. They feel that screenwriter Cesare Zavattini and director Vittorio De Sica did enough to immiserate their title character by depriving him of youth\, family\, friends\, health\, money\, and home. Surely an audience needs no further prompting to feel the isolation of Umberto Domenico Ferrari. \n“That the filmmakers also make him go everywhere with little Flike—clutching him to his breast\, fretting over his well-being\, ultimately begging the dog to come play with him—seems to these viewers an almost invasive ploy\, as if Zavattini and De Sica were trying to force into their hands an already soggy handkerchief. \n“But as someone who begins weeping at the first notes of the title music—someone who thinks this film’s long\, undramatic sequences can be seen best when watched through tears—I wouldn’t want Zavattini and De Sica to have backed off. I believe their greatest work\, which surely includes Umberto D.\, kept touch faithfully with popular sentiment\, even while helping to create the decidedly unpopular tradition of the art-house film. \n“Perhaps today’s division between auteurist productions and mass-market movies might be eased\, and contemporary cinema enlivened\, if our filmmakers would more often put themselves at risk as Zavattini and De Sica did with Umberto D.” — Stuart Klawans \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "RUMBLE FISH" (1983)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on June 16 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring director Francis Ford Coppola’s startling adaptation of the S.E. Hinto young adult novel “Rumble Fish” (1983) in digital projection. \nRUMBLE FISH | 1983 | DIRECTOR: Francis Ford Coppola | WITH: Matt Dillon\, Mickey Rourke\, Diane Lane\, Nicolas Cage\, Dennis Hopper\, Vincent Spano\, Laurence Fishburne | RUNNING TIME: 1H 34M | RATED R for language\, gang violence\, sexual situations\, nudity\, adult themes. |  DIGITAL PROJECTION \nIn this deeply personal tale of estrangement and reconciliation between two rebellious brothers\, set in a dreamlike and timeless Tulsa\, Francis Ford Coppola gives mythic dimensions to intimate\, painful emotions. \nThe director’s “art film for teenagers” was his second adaptation of young-adult novelist S. E. Hinton’s work in a single year\, after the more classically styled The Outsiders. Graced with a remarkable cast headed by Matt Dillon\, Mickey Rourke\, and Diane Lane; haunting black-and-white visuals that hark back to German expressionism; and a powerful percussive score by Stewart Copeland that underlines the movie’s romantic fatalism\, Rumble Fish pulsates throughout with genuine love and dread. \n  \n\n  \n“On Sundays during the Outsiders shoot\, Coppola and Hinton worked on the script for Rumble Fish\, a more intimate but also more strangely mythic narrative than that of The Outsiders. He then enlisted a couple of actors from the other film\, Matt Dillon\, then eighteen\, and Diane Lane\, then seventeen\, to play its leads. \n“Where for The Outsiders Coppola took a lush\, emotive\, romantic approach replete with allusions to Gone with the Wind (a favorite movie of one of its characters)\, with Rumble Fish he went about finding himself in a different way. The story here is very simple: Rusty-James (Dillon)\, a charming\, aimless gang leader\, searches for meaning in the absence of his legendary older brother\, the Motorcycle Boy. \n“The Motorcycle Boy cruises back into town at a crucial juncture for Rusty-James\, and the older brother has a message for the younger: he’s not going to find what he’s looking for. The brothers wrestle with their drunkard father\, Rusty-James wrestles with his feelings for his sometimes girlfriend\, Patty (Lane)\, a local cop sets his gun sight on the Motorcycle Boy\, and all the characters enact gestures and provocations both intimate and archetypal. \n“The future in which Rumble Fish is set resides at least in part in its vision of tormented but fluid masculinity. For a couple of supposed tough guys\, Rusty-James and the Motorcycle Boy are almost perversely lacking in machismo. They’re ideals of a sort; doomed as they may be\, they represent potential alternatives to the toxic masculinity of a Sonny Corleone. \n“Rumble Fish as a whole is suffused with that longing\, and it goes in many directions. Rusty-James may not be the brightest fellow\, but he has a desire that is very direct and possibly universal: “I just want you to see me\, man\,” he says through his pain.” — Glenn Kenny \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "THE HANDMAIDEN" (2016)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on June 23 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring director Park Chan-Wook’s sublime erotic thriller “The Handmaiden” (2016) in digital projection. \nTHE HANDMAIDEN| 2016 | DIRECTOR: Park Chan-Wook | WITH: Kim Min-hee\, Ha Jung-woo\, Cho Jin-woong | RUNNING TIME: 2H 25M | UNRATED contains sexual situations\, nudity\, brief violence\, strong adult themes | DIGITAL PROJECTION \nIn 1930s Korea\, during the Japanese occupation\, a young woman is hired as a handmaiden to a Japanese heiress who lives a secluded life on a large countryside estate with her domineering uncle. But the maid has a secret. She is a pickpocket recruited by a swindler posing as a Japanese Count to help him seduce the Lady to elope with him\, rob her of her fortune\, and lock her up in a madhouse. The plan seems to proceed according to plan until the two women discover some unexpected emotions. \n  \n\n  \n“Sookee\, a former pickpocket\, is secretly working for a scam artist who passes himself off as a rich Japanese count. Their plan is to make a young heiress fall in love with him so he can marry her\, lock her away in an asylum and run off with her vast fortune. The heiress has thieves to the left of her\, creepers to the right\, and for the first 30 minutes of “The Handmaiden\,” you fear nothing but calamity is heading her way. \n“Then director Park Chan-wook pulls off his first reveal — one of the countless twists this sensual\, gorgeously depraved movie springs on you. Almost all of Park’s previous pictures (“Old Boy\,” “Stoker\,” “Lady Vengeance”) relied on the element of surprise to weave their corrosive magic. But “The Handmaiden” throws so many narrative curves at you that the film becomes a cinematic puzzle-box\, with secrets nestled within secrets within secrets. \n“Discovering them is huge fun. So is watching this grand\, elegant movie\, which finds Park in an unusually sunny mood. The story’s themes — the victims of colonialism\, the oppression between classes\, the damage wrought by cultural sexism — are serious. But they’re served up in a movie that makes its playful intentions obvious early on\, then starts batting the audience around in unexpected directions. \n“The film is best approached cold\, its turns of plot unspoiled. But more timid viewers should know Park has never been shy about depicting graphic sexuality in his work\, and he outdoes himself with “The Handmaiden\,” in which carnality plays such an important role it deserves its own screen credit. \n‘“The Handmaiden” hails from South Korea\, but compared to most American movies of its scale and budget\, it might as well have been made on another planet. This may not be Park’s best or gravest picture. But it might be his most entertaining.’ — Rene Rodriguez\, The Miami Herald \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.
