SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "CHUNGKING EXPRESS" (1994)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nYou’re invited to a screening of Wong Kar Wai’s breakthrough 1994 hyper-kinetic tale of romantic longing\, “Chungking Express\,” at 1 p.m. Sunday April 20th. \nThe whiplash\, double-pronged “Chungking Express” is one of the defining works of nineties cinema and the film that made Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar Wai an instant icon. Two heartsick Hong Kong cops (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung)\, both jilted by ex-lovers\, cross paths at the Midnight Express take-out restaurant stand\, where the ethereal pixie waitress Faye (Faye Wong) works. \nAnything goes in Wong’s gloriously shot and utterly unexpected charmer\, which cemented the sex appeal of its gorgeous stars and forever turned canned pineapple and the Mamas and the Papas’ “California Dreamin’” into tokens of romantic longing. \n\n  \n“For my money\, Wong Kar Wai is one of the most exciting filmmakers that has come out since I’ve personally been making films. His movies have a level of excitement that’s different from American films\, like the majority of Hong Kong films. But his are a little bit different. \n“I saw “Chungking Express” when I was with “Pulp Fiction” at a festival in Stockholm. It just blew me away. I just absolutely adored it. I love romantic films and this movie had this wonderful romantic-comedy element to it while at the same time being encapsulated in this crazy\, frenetic Hong Kong world\, which is wild. Wong Kar Wai has all the frantic energy of a John Woo or Ringo Lam but he’s also taking a cue from the sense of fun of the French New Wave films of the late 1950s and early 1960s.” — Quentin Tarantino \nTickets are $6 (including service charge) and available at link above. UM students use code UMSTUDENT at checkout for free admission (must show Cane card at the door.)

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "L'ARGENT" (1983)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, April 27th for a screening of Robert Bresson’s naturalistic 1983 classic “L’argent” (“Money”)in French with English subtitles. \nIn his ruthlessly clear-eyed final film\, French master Robert Bresson pushed his unique blend of spiritual rumination and formal rigor to a new level of astringency. \nTransposing a Tolstoy novella to contemporary Paris\, “L’argent” follows a counterfeit bill as it originates as a prop in a schoolboy prank\, then circulates like a virus among the corrupt and the virtuous alike before landing with a young truck driver and leading him to incarceration and violence. \nWith brutal economy\, Bresson constructs his unforgiving vision of original sin out of starkly perceived details\, rooting his characters in a dehumanizing material world that withholds any hope of transcendence. \n\n  \n“Set in contemporary France in an unidentified city that sometimes seems to be Paris but probably isn’t\, ”L’argent” (Money) is a serenely composed film that tells a ruthless tale of greed\, corruption and murder without once raising its voice. It goes beyond the impartiality of journalism. It has the manner of an official report on the spiritual state of a civilization for which there is no hope. \n“Like all Bresson films\, ”L’argent” can’t be interpreted exclusively in social\, political or psychological terms. Mr. Bresson’s characters act out dramas that have been in motion since the birth of the planet. He’s not a fatalist\, but he insists on recognizing inevitable consequences\, given a set of specific circumstances.” — Vincent Canby\, The New York Times \nTickets are $6 (including service fee) and available at link above.
