SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "FAT GIRL" (2001)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, October 6\, for director Catherine Breillat’s “Fat Girl\,” a portrayal of female adolescent sexuality and the complicated bond between siblings as well as a shocking assertion by the always controversial Breillat that violent oppression exists at the core of male-female relations. \nFAT GIRL | 2001 | WRITER-DIRECTOR: Catherine Breillat | WITH: Anais Reboux\, Roxane Mesquida\, Libero De Rienzo | RUNNING TIME: 1H 26m | IN FRENCH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | UNRATED contains strong sexual content\, nudity\, vulgar language\, brief violence\, strong adult themes | PROJECTED in 2K DCP format \nTwelve-year-old Anaïs is fat. Her sister\, fifteen-year-old Elena\, is a beauty. While the girls are on vacation with their parents\, Anaïs tags along as Elena explores the dreary seaside town. Elena meets Fernando\, an Italian law student; he seduces her with promises of love\, and the ever-watchful Anaïs bears witness to the corruption of her sister’s innocence. \n \n“A deliberately troubling film about adolescent female sexuality\, Fat Girl can easily be interpreted as a long-overdue riposte to the French coming-of-age movies centered on summertime first loves\, such as Eric Rohmer’s beloved Pauline at the Beach. Breillat explores the hypocrisy of a society that weighs down the sexual act with sentimental and moralistic baggage through one summer affair between a beautiful teenager\, Elena\, and Fernando\, the Italian law student who woos her after a chance meeting in a beachside cafe. \n“For a clear-eyed view\, Breillat has written into the narrative a plump and grumpy younger sister\, whose role is to accompany the Lolita-ish teenager throughout the flirtatious escapade. Protected by age and weight\, Anaïs dissects the terrible contract by which a teenage girl is allowed to possess beauty and “lose” virginity. \n“Naturally\, since this is a Breillat film\, sex and death are never far apart. There’s unpredictable violence lurking at the movie’s end\, just when the audience relaxes\, thinking it knows what’s up. From its tranquil beginning to its shocking finish\, Fat Girl shows Breillat to be a world-class artist working at the top of her form–even when the lessons of gender\, sexuality and social custom may be hard to swallow. Without her\, they wouldn’t be available to us at all.” — B. Ruby Rich\, The Nation \nTickets are $5 and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER" (1955)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, October 13 for director Charles Laughton’s timeless thriller “The Night of the Hunter” (1955). \nTHE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER | 1955 | DIRECTOR: Charles Laughton | WITH: Robert Mitchum\, Shelley Winters\, Lilian Gish\, James Gleason\, Peter Graves | RUNNING TIME: 1H 32M | UNRATED contains adult situations and themes | PROJECTION 2K digital \nIncredibly\, the only film the great actor Charles Laughton ever directed\, “The Night of the Hunter” is truly a stand-alone masterwork. A horror movie with qualities of a Grimm fairy tale\, it stars a sublimely sinister Robert Mitchum as a traveling preacher named Harry Powell (he of the tattooed knuckles)\, whose nefarious motives for marrying a fragile widow\, played by Shelley Winters\, are uncovered by her terrified young children. Graced by images of eerie beauty and a sneaky sense of humor\, this ethereal\, expressionistic American classic—also featuring the contributions of actress Lillian Gish and writer James Agee—is cinema’s most eccentric rendering of the battle between good and evil. \n\n  \n“Charles Laughton’s “The Night of the Hunter” (1955) is one of the greatest of all American films\, but has never received the attention it deserves because of its lack of the proper trappings. Many “great movies” are by great directors\, but Laughton directed only this one film\, which was a critical and commercial failure long overshadowed by his acting career. \n“Many great movies use actors who come draped in respectability and prestige\, but Robert Mitchum has always been a raffish outsider. And many great movies are realistic\, but “The Night of the Hunter” is an expressionistic oddity\, telling its chilling story through visual fantasy. \n“What a compelling\, frightening and beautiful film it is! And how well it has survived its period. Many films from the mid-1950s\, even the good ones\, seem somewhat dated now\, but by setting his story in an invented movie world outside conventional realism\, Laughton gave it a timelessness.’ — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $5 and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "BREATHLESS" (1960)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, October 27 for the 4K restoration of director Jean-Luc Godard’s revolutionary French New Wave masterpiece “Breathless” (1960). \nBREATHLESS | 1960 | DIRECTOR: Jean-Luc Godard | WITH: Jean-Paul Belmondo\, Jean Seberg\, Van Doude | RUNNING TIME: 1H 30M | IN FRENCH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | UNRATED contains adult situations and sexual themes | PROJECTION 4K DCP \nThere was before Breathless\, and there was after Breathless. Jean-Luc Godard burst onto the film scene in 1960 with this jazzy\, free-form\, and sexy homage to the American film genres that inspired him as a writer for Cahiers du cinéma. With its lack of polish\, surplus of attitude\, anything-goes crime narrative\, and effervescent young stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg\, Breathless helped launch the French New Wave and ensured that cinema would never be the same. \n\n  \n“Modern movies begin here\, with Jean-Luc Godard’s “Breathless” in 1960. No debut film since “Citizen Kane” in 1942 has been as influential. It is dutifully repeated that Godard’s technique of “jump cuts” is the great breakthrough\, but startling as they were\, they were actually an afterthought\, and what is most revolutionary about the movie is its headlong pacing\, its cool detachment\, its dismissal of authority\, and the way its narcissistic young heroes are obsessed with themselves and oblivious to the larger society. \n“Breathless” remains a living movie that retains the power to surprise and involve us after all these years. What fascinates above all is the naivete and amorality of these two young characters: Michel (Jean-Paul Belmondo)\, a car thief who idolizes Bogart and pretends to be tougher than he is\, and Patricia (Jean Seberg)\, an American who peddles the Paris edition of the New York Herald-Tribune while waiting to enroll at the Sorbonne. Do they know what they’re doing? Both of the important killings in the movie occur because Michel accidentally comes into possession of someone else’s gun; Patricia’s involvement with him seems inspired in equal parts by affection\, sex and fascination with his gangster persona. \n“The film’s bold originality in style\, characters and tone made a certain kind of genteel Hollywood movie quickly obsolete. Godard went on to become the most famous innovator of the 1960s\, although he lost the way later\, with increasingly mannered experiments. Here in one quick\, sure move\, knowing somehow just what he wanted and how to obtain it\, he achieved a turning point in the cinema just as surely as Griffith did with “The Birth of a Nation” and Welles with “Citizen Kane.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $5 and available at link above.
