SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "PARIS\, TEXAS" (1984)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Sept. 7\, for New German Cinema pioneer Wim Wenders’ 1984 drama “Paris\, Texas.” Wenders brings his keen eye for landscape to the American Southwest in this story of a mysterious\, nearly mute drifter Travis (a magnificent Harry Dean Stanton) as he tries to reconnect with his young son\, living with his brother (Dean Stockwell) in Los Angeles\, and his missing wife (Nastassja Kinski). \nFrom this simple setup\, Wenders and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Sam Shepard\, who co-wrote the screenplay\, produce a powerful statement on codes of masculinity and the myth of the American family\, as well as an exquisite visual exploration of a vast\, crumbling world of canyons and neon. \nPARIS\, TEXAS | 1984 | DIRECTOR: Wim Wenders | WITH: Harry Dean Stanton\, Nastassja Kinski\, Dean Stockwell | RATED R for sexual content\, brief profanity | RUNNING TIME: 2H 25M | 4K RESTORATION \n\n“The man comes walking out of the desert like a Biblical figure\, a penitent who has renounced the world. He wears jeans and a baseball cap\, the universal costume of America\, but the scraggly beard\, the deep eye sockets and the tireless lope of his walk tell a story of wandering in the wilderness. What is he looking for? Does he remember? \n“Wim Wenders’ “Paris\, Texas” (1984) is the story of loss upon loss. This man\, whose name is Travis\, was once married and had a little boy. Then that all went wrong\, and he lost his wife and child\, and for years he wandered. Now he will find his family and lose it again\, this time not through madness but through sacrifice. He will give them up out of his love for them. \n“Wenders uses the materials of realism but this is a fable\, as much as his great “Wings of Desire.” It’s about archetypal longings\, set in American myth. The name Travis reminds us of Travis McGee\, the private investigator who rescued lost souls and sometimes fell in love with them but always ended up alone on his boat. \n“The Texas setting evokes thoughts of the Western\, but this movie is not for the desert and against the city; it is about a journey which leads from one to the other and ends in a form of happiness.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $6 (including service charge) and are available at the link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "LA STRADA" (1954)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Sept. 14\, for a screening of Federico Fellini’s Oscar-winning “La Strada” (1954). Fellini directs his wife\, the incandescent Giulietta Masina\, as a woman sold by her mother into the employ of Zampanò (Anthony Quinn)\, a brutal strongman in a traveling circus. \nWhen Zampanò encounters an old rival in highwire artist the Fool (Richard Basehart)\, his fury is provoked to its breaking point. With “La Strada\,” Fellini left behind the familiar signposts of Italian neorealism for a poetic fable of love and cruelty\, evoking brilliant performances and winning the hearts of audiences and critics worldwide. \nLA STRADA | 1954 | DIRECTOR: Federico Fellini | WITH: Anthony Quinn\, Giulietta Masina\, Richard Baseheart\, Aldo Silvani | RUNNING TIME: 1H 48M | UNRATED no offensive material \n\n  \n“Federico Fellini’s “La Strada” (1954) tells a fable that is simple by his later standards\, but contains many of the obsessive visual trademarks that he would return to again and again: the circus\, and parades\, and a figure suspended between earth and sky\, and one woman who is a waif and another who is a carnal monster\, and of course the seashore. Like a painter with a few favorite themes\, Fellini would rework these images until the end of his life. \n“The movie is the bridge between the postwar Italian neorealism which shaped Fellini\, and the fanciful autobiographical extravaganzas which followed. It is fashionable to call it his best work – to see the rest of his career as a long slide into self-indulgence. I don’t see it that way. I think “La Strada” is part of a process of discovery that led to the masterpieces “La Dolce Vita” (1960)\, “8 1/2” (1963) and “Amarcord” (1974)\, and to the bewitching films he made in between\, like “Juliet of the Spirits” (1965) and “Fellini’s Roma” (1972).” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $6 (including service charge) and available at the link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "A TALE OF WINTER" (1992)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Sept. 21\, for a screening of Eric Rohmer’s “A Tale of Winter\,” which is among the most spiritual and emotional films of Rohmer’s storied career. \nFive years after losing touch with Charles (Frédéric van den Driessche)\, the love of her life and the father of her young daughter\, Félicie (Charlotte Véry) attempts to choose between librarian Loïc (Hervé Furic)\, who lives in the Parisian suburbs\, or hairdresser Maxence (Michel Voletti)\, who has recently moved to Nevers. In the midst of indecision Félicie holds to an undying faith that a miracle will reunite her with Charles\, a faith that Rohmer examines in all of its religious dimensions and philosophical ramifications. \n\n  \n“Eric Rohmer is the romantic philosopher of the French New Wave\, the director whose characters make love with words as well as flesh. They are open to sudden flashes of passion\, they become infatuated at first sight\, but then they descend into doubt and analysis\, talking intensely about what it all means. Because they’re invariably charming\, and because coincidence and serendipity play such a large role in his stories\, this is more cheerful than it sounds. As he grows older Rohmer’s heart grows younger\, and at 81 he is more in tune with love than the prematurely cynical authors of Hollywood teen romances. \n“What pervades Rohmer’s work is a faith in love–or\, if not love\, then in the right people finding each other for the right reasons. There is sadness in his work but not gloom. His characters are too smart to be surprised by disappointments\, and too interested in life to indulge in depression. His films succeed not because large truths are discovered\, but because small truths will do. To attend his films is to be for a time in the company of people we would like to know\, and then to realize that in various ways they are ourselves.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $6 and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "THE COMFORT OF STRANGERS" (1990)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Sept. 28\, for a screening of director Paul Schrader’s psychosexual thriller “The Comfort of Strangers.” \nAdapting the acclaimed novel by Ian McEwan\, playwright and screenwriter Harold Pinter lends his trademark unnerving dialogue and air of creeping menace to this spellbinding study of power\, control\, and the frighteningly thin line between pleasure and pain. \nRupert Everett and Natasha Richardson are the prey\, a beautiful British couple working on their relationship while on holiday in Venice; Christopher Walken and Helen Mirren are the hunters who draw them into the sinister web of their opulent\, old-world palazzo. \nWhat plays out is an unsettling\, sadomasochistic seduction imbued with an atmosphere of sumptuous dread by the elegantly gliding tracking shots of cinematographer Dante Spinotti\, lush score by Angelo Badalamenti\, and carefully controlled direction of Paul Schrader\, who choreographs a mesmerizing pas de quatre of sustained erotic and emotional tension. \n\n  \n“Paul Schrader’s “Comfort of Strangers” is about decadence in Venice\, a place of long golden afternoons\, steamy nights\, grand palazzos\, dark alleys\, incredible beauty\, unrecognized malignancies and\, finally\, death. \n“The movie is too much\, which is just about right for a horror film so romantic that its true nature is only revealed at the very end\, when escape is no longer possible. \n“Harold Pinter\, who adapted the screenplay from Ian McEwan’s novel\, has never written a film as alarmingly ghoulish as this tale of terminal love. “The Comfort of Strangers” is a Grand Guignol variation on the kind of scary Pinter play in which the menace remains discreet. Not here.” — Vincent Canby\, The New York Times \nTickets are $6 and available at the link above. Students use code STUDENT at checkout for free admission (must show Cane card at the door).
