SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "LA LA LAND" (2016) FREE SCREENING
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR FREE TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, July 20 at 1 p.m. to celebrate the installation of our new giant movie screen and curtains with a free screening of Damien Chazelle’s Oscar-winning musical “La La Land\,” starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. \nAdmission is FREE but registration required at link above. \nWhen the pianist Sebastian (Gosling) and the actress Mia (Stone) follow their passion and achieve success in their respective fields\, they find themselves torn between their love for each other and their careers. \n\n  \n“Gosling and Stone embrace the limitations of their song-and-dance abilities instead of trying to disguise them. They elevate “La La Land” into something much more substantial than a tribute to escapism. They give this big\, generous movie its soul\, and their relationship is so simply rendered and touching that “La La Land\,” for all its cotton-candy artifice\, rings truer and more honest than most contemporary Hollywood studio pictures. \n“Here is a celebration of the artistic drive that is also a daring feat of showmanship\, as technically accomplished in its own way as “Mad Max Fury Road” or “The Revenant.” But its vibe is the opposite of mechanical. During one musical number\, when fireworks start going off in the sky\, you can feel them going off in your head too.” — Rene Rodriguez\, The Miami Herald \nAdmission is FREE but registration required at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "TO SLEEP WITH ANGER" (1990)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, June 29\, for a rare screening of Charles Burnett’s 1990 drama “To Sleep with Anger\,” about a family living in South Central Los Angeles who receive a visit from a charismatic stranger (Danny Glover). \nTO SLEEP WITH ANGER | 1990 | WRITER-DIRECTOR: Charles Burnett | WITH: Danny Glover\, Paul Butler\, Mary Alice\, Carl Lumbly\, Sheryl Lee Ralph | RUNNING TIME: 1H 42M | RATED: PG for adult themes \nA slow-burning masterwork of the early 1990s\, this third feature by Charles Burnett is a singular piece of American mythmaking. \nIn a towering performance\, Danny Glover plays the enigmatic southern drifter Harry\, a devilish charmer who turns up out of the blue on the South Central Los Angeles doorstep of his old friends. In short order\, Harry’s presence seems to cast a chaotic spell on what appeared to be a peaceful household\, exposing smoldering tensions between parents and children\, tradition and change\, virtue and temptation. \nInterweaving evocative strains of gospel and blues with rich\, poetic-realist images\, “To Sleep with Anger” is a sublimely stirring film from an autonomous artistic sensibility\, a portrait of family resilience steeped in the traditions of African American mysticism and folklore. \n\n  \n“Charles Burnett’s “To Sleep With Anger” is a subtle kind of horror movie in which the unwelcome visitor is not a slasher or a cartoon character\, but a soft-spoken relative named Harry\, getting on a bit in years\, well-dressed\, seemingly courteous. The tension in the movie is created as he stays and stays\, until he is clearly unwelcome and yet no one can figure out a way to get rid of him. And the horror element comes as it begins to dawn on us\, and the characters in the movie\, that this man is some sort of emissary of evil. Perhaps not Satan precisely\, but familiar with the neighborhood. \n“Harry is played in the movie by Danny Glover\, who usually plays the most pleasant of men; he is the easy-going member of the team in the “Lethal Weapon” movies. Here his very pleasantness makes him more sinister. His good manners turn oily\, somehow\, and the others begin to clear a space around him\, physically and in conversation. Glover is an actor of considerable presence\, and here he lets us know his character is from hell\, and hardly has to raise his voice.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $6 and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "LA PROMESSE" (1996)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, June 22 for the heartfelt coming-of-age drama “La promesse” (“The Promise”)\, the directorial debut of acclaimed Belgian filmmaking brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. \nLA PROMESSE | 1996 | DIRECTORS: Jean-Pierre Dardenne\, Luc Dardenne | WITH: Jérémie Renier\, Olivia Gourmet\, Assita Ouedraogo | RUNNING TIME: 1H 30M | UNRATED: Adult themes | In French with English subtitles \n“La promesse” is the breakthrough feature from Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne\, who would go on to become a force in world filmmaking. \nThe brothers brought the unerring eye for detail and the compassion for those on society’s lowest rungs developed in their earlier documentary work to this absorbing drama about a teenager (Jérémie Renier) gradually coming to understand the implications of his father’s making a living through the exploitation of undocumented workers. \nFilmed in the Dardennes’ industrial hometown of Seraing\, Belgium\, “La promesse” is a brilliantly economical and observant tale of a boy’s troubled moral awakening. \n\n  \n“Morality is a given in the movies; everyone\, even the worst of creatures\, knows if they’re bad or good. In “La Promesse\,” an exceptional film from Belgium\, all of that is reversed as a sense of right and wrong struggles to emerge in a young man who never knew there was a difference. The conflicts involved are intense and absorbing\, proving that compelling moral dilemmas make for the most dramatic cinema. \n““La Promesse” makes being politically relevant and philosophically thoughtful so simple and involving that the story seems to be telling itself. Written and directed by Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne\, a pair of filmmaking brothers\, it is made with such unobtrusive sureness that it’s able to exert great power without forcing anything. \n“Among the many things it does right\, “La Promesse” refuses to even consider glib solutions. This film understands that moral choices are a painful\, troublesome business\, that decisions to do the right thing are not simple to take and hardly make things easier. Nothing in life takes more courage\, and no kind of filmmaking offers greater rewards.” — Kenneth Turan\, Los Angeles Times \nTickets are $6 (including service charge) and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "TO DIE FOR" (1995)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, June 15th\, for a screening of the 1995 dark-comedy classic “To Die For\,” starring Nicole Kidman\, Matt Dillon and Joaquin Phoenix. \nTO DIE FOR | 1995 | DIRECTOR: Gus Van Sant | WITH: Nicole Kidman\, Matt Dillon\, Joaquin Phoenix\, Casey Affleck\, Ileana Douglas | RATED R for vulgar language\, sexual content and brief violence | RUNNING TIME: 1H 46M \nThe all-American obsession with celebrity turns monstrous in this deliciously subversive (and disturbingly prescient) satire of our television-mediated\, true-crime-obsessed age. \nIn a career breakthrough\, Nicole Kidman delivers a diabolical deconstruction of the girl next door as a local TV weather reporter whose perfectly perky facade belies a murderous heart\, as her ruthless pursuit of fame ensnares three disaffected teens in a sordid\, tabloid-ready scandal. \nDeftly deploying shifting perspectives\, faux-documentary interviews\, and a supporting cast featuring Joaquin Phoenix\, Matt Dillon\, and Casey Affleck\, director Gus Van Sant adds provocative layers of meaning to this darkly funny examination of suburban sociopathy. \n\n  \n“To Die For” is the kind of movie that’s merciless with its characters\, and Kidman is superb at making Suzanne into someone who is not only stupid\, vain and egomaniacal (we’ve seen that before) but also vulnerably human. She represents\, on a large scale\, feelings we have all had in smaller and sneakier ways. She simply lacks skill in concealing them. \n“The film is filled with perfect character studies. Dillon\, the former teen idol whose acting has always been underrated\, here turns in a sly comic performance as a man dazzled by beauty but seduced by comfort. Illeana Douglas is Janice\, Suzanne’s ice-skating sister-in-law\, who spots her as a phony and makes life uncomfortable by calling her on it. \n“Finally\, though\, the movie is about Suzanne\, and Nicole Kidman’s work here is inspired. Her clothes\, her makeup\, her hair\, her speech\, her manner\, even the way she carries herself (as if aware of the eyes of millions) are all brought to a perfect pitch: Her Suzanne is so utterly absorbed in being herself that there is an eerie conviction\, even in the comedy. She plays Suzanne as the kind of woman who pities us – because we aren’t her\, and you know what? We never will be.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $6 (including service charge) 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: "IRMA VEP" (1996)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, June 8th for director Oliver Assayas’ dazzling film-industry satire “Irma Vep\,” starring Maggie Cheung\, which inspired the recent HBO miniseries. \nIRMA VEP | 1996 | DIRECTOR: Oliver Assayas | WITH: Maggie Cheung\, Jean-Pierre Léaud\, Nathalie Richard\, Nathalie Boutefeu | UNRATED contains sexual situations and adult content | RUNNING TIME: 1H 39M | In English and French with English subtitles \nOlivier Assayas’s live-wire international breakthrough stars a magnetic Maggie Cheung as a version of herself: a Hong Kong action-movie star who arrives in Paris to play the latex-clad lead in a remake of Louis Feuillade’s classic silent crime serial Les vampires. \nWhat she finds is a behind-the-scenes tangle of barely controlled chaos as egos clash\, romantic attractions simmer\, and an obsessive director drives himself to the brink to realize his vision. \nBlending blasts of silent cinema\, martial-arts flicks\, and the music of Sonic Youth and Luna into a hallucinatory swirl of postmodern cool\, Assayas composes in “Irma Vep” a witty critique of the nineties French film industry and the perennial tension between art and commercial entertainment. \n\n  \n“There are innumerable great touches\, big and small\, in ‘Irma Vep\,’ which is organic and alive like few movies ever are. (It was shot on the fly in three weeks\, and the spontaneity shows.) But the one sequence that everyone who’s seen the film remembers is a restless Maggie slipping into her catsuit after hours and skulking around the hotel like Irma Vep in the movie. Only this time\, she embodies the role effortlessly—she’s sexy\, mysterious\, resourceful\, and liberated. — Scott Tobias\, The AV Club \nTickets are $6 (including service charge) and available at link above.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "MONTEREY POP" (1968)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, March 30\, for a rare screening of “Monterey Pop\,” director D.A. Pennebaker’s iconic documentary about the greatest pre-Woodstock rock and roll festival of all time. \nMONTEREY POP | 1968 | DIRECTOR: D.A. Pennebaker | WITH: Otis Redding\, Jimi Hendrix\, Janis Joplin\, The Mamas and the Papas\, Art Garfunkel\, Paul Simon\, Ravi Shankar\, The Who | RUNNING TIME: 1H 18M | UNRATED | 4K RESTORATION \nOn a beautiful June weekend in 1967\, at the beginning of the Summer of Love\, the first Monterey International Pop Festival roared forward\, capturing a decade’s spirit and ushering in a new era of rock and roll. Monterey featured career-making performances by Jimi Hendrix\, Janis Joplin\, and Otis Redding\, but they were just a few among a wildly diverse cast that included Simon and Garfunkel\, the Mamas and the Papas\, the Who\, the Byrds\, Hugh Masekela\, and the extraordinary Ravi Shankar. With his characteristic vérité style\, D. A. Pennebaker captured it all\, immortalizing moments that have become legend: Pete Townshend destroying his guitar\, Jimi Hendrix burning his. \n  \n\n  \n  \n“Fifty years on\, what ‘Monterey Pop’ offers contemporary audiences is a powerful reminder of a largely absent world\, a glimpse into an era that begat one of the last collective gasps of romantic utopianism of our time. Myths tell of things that never were but always are. “Monterey Pop” captures icons who certainly were\, but who also exist for us\, like their predecessors from antiquity\, in the ethereal eternity of our collective mythology. \n“Pennebaker’s film has never looked or sounded as dynamic and shockingly modern as it does in this fiftieth-anniversary restoration.  At moments\, Hendrix\, Redding\, and Joplin seem to be performing from a place beyond their own ability\, their talent and questing spirit buoyed by the era. For as long as we revisit Monterey Pop\, these figures\, like constellations\, remain brilliantly alive for us beyond their own small purchase of time.” Michael Chaiken \nTickets are $6 (including service charge) and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "THREE COLORS: RED" (1994)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, March 23\, for director Krzysztof Kieślowski’s incandescent meditation on fate and chance\, about a sweet-souled yet somber runway model in Geneva whose life dramatically intersects with that of a bitter retired judge\, \nTHREE COLORS: RED | 1994 | DIRECTOR:Krzysztof Kieślowski  | WITH: Irene Jacob\, Jean-Louis Trintignant\, Frederique Feder\, Jean-Pierre Lorit | RUNNING TIME: 1H 39M | IN FRENCH with English subtitles | RATED R for a brief but strong sex scene | PROJECTED IN 4K \nThe final installment in Kieślowski’s colors trilogy (after “Blue” and “White\,” named for the colors of the French flag)\, “Red” tells the story of young model and student Valentine (Irène Jacob)\, who hits a dog with her car and thus begins a strange relationship with its owner\, retired judge Joseph Kern (Jean-Louis Trintignant)\, does not offer a straightforwardly heartwarming vision of humanity\, nor does it clearly preach the socialist politics we may naturally associate with the titular color. “Red ultimately culminates with a note of tentative optimism\, not just for the protagonists of this film but for those of the entire trilogy. \n  \n\n  \n“One day Valentine’s car strikes a dog\, and she takes it to the home of its owner\, a retired judge. He hardly seems to care for the dog\, or for her. He spends his days in an elaborate spying scheme\, using wiretaps to monitor an affair being carried on by a neighbor. There is an instant spark that strikes between the old man and the young woman – a contact\, a recognition of similarity\, or sympathy – but they are 40 years apart in age\, strangers to one another\, and have met by accident\, and . . . \n“The story becomes completely fascinating. We have no idea where it is going\, where it could possibly go. There is no plot to reassure us. No goal that the characters hope to attain. Will the young woman and the judge ever meet again? What will come of that? Does it matter? Would it be good\, or bad? Such questions\, in “Red\,” become infinitely more interesting than the questions in simple-minded commercial movies\, about whether the hero will kill the bad guys\, and drive his car fast\, and blow things up\, or whether his girlfriend will take off her clothes. \n“Seeing a movie like “Red\,” we are reminded that watching many commercial films is the cinematic equivalent of reading Dick and Jane. The mysteries of everyday life are so much deeper and more exciting than the contrivances of plots.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $6 (including service charge) and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "BELLE DE JOUR" (1967)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, March 16\, for Luis Bunuel’s box office smash “Belle de Jour\,” starring Catherine Deneuve as a housewife who starts secretly spending her afternoon working at a bordello. \nBELLE DE JOUR | 1967 | DIRECTOR: Luis Bunuel | WITH: Catherine Deneuve\, Jean Sorel\, Michel Piccoli | RUNNING TIME: 1H 40M | IN FRENCH with English subtitles | UNRATED | PROJECTED IN 2K \nCatherine Deneuve’s porcelain perfection hides a cracked interior in one of the actress’s most iconic roles: Séverine\, a Paris housewife who begins secretly spending her after­noon hours working in a bordello. \nThis surreal and erotic late-sixties daydream from provocateur for the ages Luis Buñuel is an examination of desire and fetishistic pleasure (its characters’ and its viewers’)\, as well as a gently absurdist take on contemporary social mores and class divisions. Fantasy and reality commingle in this burst of cinematic transgression\, which was one of Buñuel’s biggest hits. \n  \n\n  \n“It is possibly the best-known erotic film of modern times\, perhaps the best. That’s because it understands eroticism from the inside-out–understands how it exists not in sweat and skin\, but in the imagination. \n“Belle de Jour” is seen entirely through the eyes of Severine\, the proper 23-year-old surgeon’s wife\, played by Catherine Deneuve. Bunuel\, who was 67 when the film was released\, had spent a lifetime making sly films about the secret terrain of human nature\, and he knew one thing most directors never discover: For a woman like Severine\, walking into a room to have sex\, the erotic charge comes not from who is waiting in the room\, but from the fact that she is walking into it. Sex is about herself. Love of course is another matter.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $6 (including service charge) and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "DIABOLIQUE" (1955)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, March 9\, for Henri-Georges Clouzot’s wicked thriller “Diabolique\,” about two women who hatch a diabolical revenge plot. \nDIABOLIQUE | 1955 | DIRECTOR: Henri-Georges Clouzot | WITH: Simone Signoret\, Vera Clouzot\, Paul Meurisse\, Charles Vanel | RUNNING TIME: 1H 57M | IN FRENCH with English subtitles | UNRATED | PROJECTED IN 2K \nBefore “Psycho\,” “Peeping Tom\,” and “Repulsion\, there was “Diabolique.” This thriller from Henri‑Georges Clouzot\, which shocked audiences in Europe and the U.S.\, is the story of two women—the fragile wife and the willful mistress of the sadistic headmaster of a boys’ boarding school—who hatch a daring revenge plot. With its unprecedented narrative twists and terrifying images\, “Diabolique” is a heart-grabbing benchmark in horror filmmaking. \n  \n\n  \n“The movie has fun with the usual whodunit details: The split-second timetables\, and the sleepy old guard who must open the gates to let anyone in or out of the school grounds. The Inspector also amuses himself reconstructing timetables and quizzing a small student who seems to see and hear impossible things. Then comes the ending\, inspired by “Gaslight\,” in which a woman is either going mad\, or nothing is as it seems. “Diabolique” is so well constructed that even today it works on its intended level.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $6 (including service charge) and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "THE WAGES OF FEAR" (1953)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, March 2\, for Henri-Georges Clouzot’s suspense masterpiece “The Wages of Fear\,” a thriller about four men hired to drive two trucks loaded with nitroglycerine across mountainous\, treacherous terrain. \nTHE WAGES OF FEAR | 1953 | DIRECTOR: Henri-Georges Clouzot | WITH: Yves Montand\, Charles Vanel\, Peter van Eyck\, Folco Lulli | RUNNING TIME: 2H 36M | IN FRENCH with English subtitles | UNRATED | PROJECTED IN 2K \nIn a squalid South American oil town\, four desperate men sign on for a suicide mission to drive trucks loaded with nitroglycerin over a treacherous mountain route. As they ferry their explosive cargo to a faraway oil fire\, each bump and jolt tests their courage\, their friendship\, and their nerves. The result is one of the greatest thrillers ever committed to celluloid\, a white-knuckle ride from France’s legendary master of suspense Henri-Georges Clouzot. \n\n  \n“One thing that establishes “The Wages of Fear” as a film from the early 1950s\, and not from today\, is its attitude toward happy endings. Modern Hollywood thrillers cannot end in tragedy for its heroes\, because the studios won’t allow it. “The Wages of Fear” is completely free to let anything happen to any of its characters\, and if all four are not dead when the nitro reaches the blazing oil well\, it may be because Clouzot is even more deeply ironic than we expect. \n“The last scene\, where a homebound truck is intercut with a celebration while a Strauss waltz plays on the radio\, is a reminder of how much Hollywood has traded away by insisting on the childishness of the obligatory happy ending.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $6 (including service charge) and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "GLORY" (1989)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Feb. 23 for a screening of the Oscar-winning drama “Glory\,” about the Civil War’s first all-Black volunteer company. \nGLORY | 1989 | DIRECTOR: Ed Zwick | WITH: Matthew Broderick\, Denzel Washington\, Morgan Freeman\, Cary Elwes\, Andre Braugher |  RUNNING TIME: 2H 2M | RATED R for war violence\, vulgar language\, brutality and adult themes | PROJECTED IN 2K DIGITAL \nMatthew Broderick stars as Col. Robert Gould Shaw\, an officer in the Federal Army during the American Civil War who volunteered to lead the first company of black soldiers. Shaw was forced to deal with the prejudices of both the enemy (who had orders to kill commanding officers of blacks)\, and of his own fellow officers. Winner of three Academy Awards\, including Best Supporting Actor for Denzel Washington\,. \n  \n\n“These men are proud to be soldiers\, proud to wear the uniform and also too proud to accept the racism they see all around them\, as when a decision is made to pay black troops less than white. Blacks march as far\, bleed as much and die as soon\, they argue. Why should they be paid less for the same work? \n“Shaw eventually sees the logic in this argument and joins his men in refusing their paychecks. That action is a turning point for the 54th\, fusing the officers and men together into a unit with mutual trust. But there are countless smaller scenes that do the same thing\, including one in which Shaw is pointedly told by one of his men that when the war is over\, nothing much will have changed: “You’ll go back to your big house.”” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $6.00 (price includes service fee) and available at link above.

DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Feb. 16 for a screening of the historical drama “Rosewood\,” about the 1923 attack by a racist lynch mob on the all-Black prosperous Florida town in 1923. \nROSEWOOD | 1997 | DIRECTOR: John Singleton | WITH: Ving Rhames\, Don Cheadle\, Jon Voight\, Bruce McGill\, Esther Rolle | RUNNING TIME: 2H 20M | RATED R for violence and some sexuality | PROJECTED IN 2K DIGITAL \nIn 1923\, a black town in Florida was burned to the ground\, its people murdered because of a lie. Some escaped and survived because of the courage and compassion of a few extraordinary people. This film is for them. \n\n  \n“Rosewood” was expensive\, and there is some question in the industry about what audiences will be drawn to it; it’s not easily summarized in ads and does not obviously appeal to either Blacks (since it documents such a depressing chapter) or whites (depicted as murderous or ineffectual). Perhaps it will appeal to people looking for a well-made film that tells a gripping\, important story. Now there’s a notion.” – Roger Ebert \nTickets are $7 (price includes service fee) and available at link above. Students use code UMSTUDENT at checkout for free admission.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "KING OF THE HILL" (1993)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Feb. 9 for a screening of Steven Soderbergh’s 1993 charming drama “King of the Hill.” \n“King of the Hill” is the story of a 12-year-old boy who is left on his own in St. Louis during the Great Depression\, and not only survives but thrives\, and learns a thing or two. His parents are absent for excellent reasons: His mother is in a TB sanitarium\, and his father\, a door-to-door salesman\, having failed to find much of a market for wickless candles\, has left town to travel for a watch company. \nHis younger brother has been shipped away to relatives. That leaves young Aaron  behind in his family’s rooms in the Empire Hotel\, a transient hotel not quite nice enough to qualify as a brothel. \nKING OF THE HILL | 1993 | DIRECTOR: Steven Soderbergh | WITH: Jesse Bradford\, Jeroen Krabbe\, Lisa Eichhorn\, Adrien Brody\, Karen Allen\, Elizabeth McGovern\, Spalding Gray | RUNNING TIME: 1H 43M | RATED PG-13 for thematic elements | PROJECTED IN DIGITAL 2K \nhttps://youtu.be/f3h-vn29UJM?si=DOLsFaj9CkPKVQz0 \n  \n“As a hero\, Aaron has some of the qualities of Huckleberry Finn\, David Copperfield or Oliver Twist. He’s plucky\, smart\, and knows his way around people. It is a sad truth that he could not survive in today’s unkinder world\, but in the 1930s he finds it possible to support himself and even attend a prestigious local school\, all because of his gift of gab and his genius at creative lying. \n“King of the Hill” could have been a family picture\, or a heartwarming TV docudrama\, or a comedy. Soderbergh must have seen more deeply into the Hotchner memoir\, however\, because his movie is not simply about what happens to the kid. It’s about how the kid learns and grows through his experiences. It’s about growing up\, not just about having colorful adventures. \n“And despite the absence of Aaron’s family for much of the picture\, it’s about the support a family can give – even\, if it’s believed in\, when it isn’t there.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $7.50 and include a Localist service processing fee.

SUMMARY:DAVID LYNCH'S "THE STRAIGHT STORY" (1999) FREE SCREENING
DESCRIPTION:In honor and celebration of the life and work of the late filmmaker David Lynch\, please join us for a *free* screening of one of his best and least-seen films\, “The Straight Story” (1999). No tickets required! \nTHE STRAIGHT STORY | 1999 | DIRECTOR: David Lynch | WITH: Richard Farnsworth\, Sissy Spacek\, Harry Dean Stanton\, Everett McGill | RUNNING TIME: 1H 52M | RATED G: No offensive material | DIGITAL 2K PROJECTION \nA retired farmer and widower in his 70s\, Alvin Straight learns one day that his distant brother Lyle has suffered a stroke and may not recover. Alvin is determined to make things right with Lyle while he still can\, but his brother lives in Wisconsin\, while Alvin is stuck in Iowa with no car and no driver’s license. \nThen he hits on the idea of making the trip on his old lawnmower\, thus beginning a picturesque and at times deeply spiritual journey. Will he succeed? \n\n“The first time I saw “The Straight Story\,” I focused on the foreground and liked it. The second time I focused on the background\, too\, and loved it. The movie isn’t just about the old Alvin Straight’s odyssey through the sleepy towns and rural districts of the Midwest\, but about the people he finds to listen and care for him. You’d think it was a fantasy\, this kindness of strangers\, if the movie weren’t based on a true story. \n“Because the film was directed by David Lynch\, who usually deals in the bizarre (“Wild at Heart\,” “TwinPeaks”)\, we keep waiting for the other shoe to drop–for Alvin’s odyssey to intersect with the Twilight Zone. But it never does. Even when he encounters a potential weirdo\, like the distraught woman whose car has killed 14 deer in one week on the same stretch of highway (“. . . and I HAVE to take this road!”)\, she’s not a sideshow exhibit and we think\, yeah\, you can hit a lot of deer on those country roads.” Roger Ebert \nAdmission to this screening is FREE and no tickets are required. The movie will be introduced by Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez\, who will discuss the importance of Lynch’s filmography to contemporary American cinema.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "TAMPOPO" (1985)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, December 8\, for a screening of the scrumptious foodie comedy “Tampopo” (1985)\, the tale of an eccentric band of culinary ronin who guide the widow of a noodle-shop owner on her quest for the perfect recipe. \nTAMPOPO | 1985 | WRITER-DIRECTOR: Juzo Itami | WITH: Ken Watabane\, Tsutomo Yamazaki\, Nobuyo Miyamoto | RUNNING TIME: 1H 54M | IN JAPANESE WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | UNRATED Contains adult themes | PROJECTED IN 4K DCP \nThis rapturous “ramen western” by Japanese director Juzo Itami is an entertaining\, genre-bending adventure underpinned by a deft satire of the way social conventions distort the most natural of human urges—our appetites. \nInterspersing the efforts of Tampopo and friends to make her café a success with the erotic exploits of a gastronome gangster and glimpses of food culture both high and low\, the sweet\, sexy\, and surreal “Tampopo” is a lavishly inclusive paean to the sensual joys of nourishment\, and one of the most mouthwatering examples of food on film ever made. \n\n  \n“Humor\, it is said\, is universal. Most times it is not. The humor that travels best\, I sometimes think\, is not “universal” humor at all\, but humor that grows so specifically out of one culture that it reaches other cultures almost by seeming to ignore them. The best British comedies were the very specifically British films\, such as “The Lavender Hill Mob” and “School for Scoundrels.” The best Italian comedies were such local products as “Seduced and Abandoned.” The funniest French films were by Tati\, who seemed totally absorbed in himself. \n“And this very\, very Japanese movie\, which seems to make no effort to communicate to other cultures\, is universally funny almost for that reason. Who cannot identify with the search for the perfect noodle? Certainly any American can\, in the land of sweet corn festivals\, bakeoffs and contests for the world’s best chili. This is a very funny movie.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $5 and available at link above. Students use code UMSTUDENT at checkout for free admission (Cane card must be shows at the door).

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "MISHIMA: A LIFE IN FOUR CHAPTERS" (1985)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, November 17 for a screening of “Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters” (1985)\, director Paul Schrader’s visually stunning\, collagelike portrait of acclaimed Japanese author and playwright Yukio Mishima. The movie\, co-produced by George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola\, investigates the inner turmoil and contradictions of a man who attempted an impossible harmony between self\, art\, and society. \nMISHIMA: A LIFE IN FOUR CHAPTERS | 1985| DIRECTOR: Paul Schrader | WITH: Ken Ogata\, Masayuki Shionoya\, Hiroshi Mikami | RUNNING TIME: 2H | IN JAPANESE WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | RATED R for nudity\, sexual content\, violence and strong adult themes | PROJECTED IN 4K DCP \nTaking place on the last day of Mishima’s life\, when he famously committed public seppuku\, the film is punctuated by extended flashbacks to the writer’s past as well as gloriously stylized evocations of his fictional works. With its rich cinematography by John Bailey\, exquisite sets and costumes by Eiko Ishioka\, and unforgettable\, highly influential score by Philip Glass\, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters is a tribute to its subject and a bold\, investigative work of art in its own right. \n\n  \n“Paul Schrader’s “Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters” (1985) is the most unconventional biopic I’ve ever seen\, and one of the best. In a triumph of concise writing and construction\, it considers three crucial aspects of the life of the Japanese author Yukio Mishima (1925-1970). In black and white\, we see formative scenes from his earlier years. In brilliant colors we see events from three of his most famous novels. And in realistic color we see the last day of his life. \n“As unorthodox as Schrader’s approach to Mishima’s life may be\, I cannot imagine a better one. Like Hemingway and Mailer\, Mishima conceived his life and his work as intimately related through his libido. In Mishima’s case this process was made more complex by his bisexuality and masochism\, and his “private army” combined ritual with buried sexuality; his soldiers were young\, handsome and willing to die for him\, and they wore uniforms as fetishistic as the Nazis. \n“Mishima is his ultimate man in a room. There is the young boy\, separated from his mother and held almost captive by a possessive grandmother\, who won’t let him go out to play but wants him always at her side. There is the writer\, returning to his desk every day at midnight to write his books and plays in monkish isolation. There is the public man\, uniformed\, advocating the Bushido Code\, acting the role of military commander of his own army. \n“On the last day of his life\, he is ceremoniously dressed by a follower and adheres to a rigid timetable that leads to his meticulously planned and rehearsed suicide\, or seppuku. Considering that he is a man fully committed to plunging a sword into his own guts\, he seems remarkably serene; his life\, his work\, his obsession have finally become synchronous.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $5 and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "KOYAANISQATSI" (1982)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, November 10\, for a rare screening of Godfrey Reggio’s mesmerizing “Koyaanisqatsi” (1982)\, an astonishing collage that shuttles viewers from one jaw-dropping vision to the next\, moving from images of untouched nature to others depicting human beings’ increasing dependence on technology. \nKOYAANISQATSI | 1982 | DIRECTOR: Godfrey Reggio | MUSIC: Philip Glass | RUNNING TIME: 1H 26M | UNRATED no offensive material | PROJECTED IN 4K DCP \n\n  \n“From the opening moments of Koyaanisqatsi\, it is clear that Reggio’s focus is something other than romance or adventure; near the beginning\, we see what appears to be a rocket liftoff\, followed by serene aerial shots of remarkable western sites and stop-motion imagery of cloudscapes. Having created a sense of the grandeur and dignity of the Southwest\, Koyaanisqatsi then reveals industrial exploitation of the environment\, shifting into highly kinetic time-lapse photography of urban scenes. \n“These sequences demonstrate the remarkable degree to which the modern city-machine functions effectively—traffic zooms along New York City streets and Los Angeles highways; products get made and the day’s work gets accomplished—but ultimately\, Reggio’s visual phantasmagoria suggests that the primary product of modern industrialized life is the destruction of individuality and serenity. \n“At the conclusion of Koyaanisqatsi\, on-screen text explains Reggio’s title (formed from elements in the Hopi language\, koyaanisqatsi means\, “1. crazy life. 2. life in turmoil. 3. life out of balance. 4. life disintegrating. 5. a state of life that calls for another way of living”)\, and he returns to that early shot in the film: the rocket lifts off\, lofting into the sky—where it explodes\, its fragments tumbling slowly to earth.” – Scott MacDonald \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.

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: "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: "ONE FALSE MOVE" (1991)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, September 22 for a screening of “One False Move” (1991)\, the suspenseful thriller about the collision course between a small-town sheriff and a group of dangerous killers. \nONE FALSE MOVIE | 1991 | DIRECTOR: Carl Franklin | WITH: Bill Paxton\, Billy Bob Thornton\, Cynda Williams\, Michael Beach | RUNNING TIME: 1H 45M | RATED R for strong violence\, language and drug content | 4K DIGITAL PROJECTION \nA small-town police chief (Bill Paxton) concealing an explosive secret. A pair of ruthless drug dealers (cowriter Billy Bob Thornton and Michael Beach) who leave a bloody trail in their wake as they make their way from Los Angeles to Arkansas. And an enigmatic woman (Cynda Williams) caught in the middle. \nThe way these desperate lives converge becomes a masterclass in slow-burn tension thanks to the nuanced direction of Carl Franklin\, whose haunting film travels a crooked road across America’s most fraught divisions—urban and rural\, Black and white—while imbuing noir conventions with a wrenching emotional depth. \n\n  \n  \n“One False Move is many things. A stunning nineties neonoir. A tragedy. A movie that says more about race and class without being didactic than many others that try hard to say something. A road picture. A lovers-on-the-run tale. A flawless encapsulation of the desperate energy and desperate deeds that fuel real crime. It feels timeless. It’s a structural marvel. A study in tension and pacing. \n“Having moved from Brooklyn to Mississippi over a decade ago\, I feel like I understand the film in ways now that I couldn’t have previously. It’s a complex portrait of the South. The awful weight of history and tradition. Kindness often masking complicity. Buried secrets. The atmosphere misted over with sins of the past. Attempts to smile through pain and yearning. Cycles of poverty and grief and near escape. Dark humor. \n“More than thirty years later\, watching One False Move brings me back to being the kid I was when I first saw it: trying to understand the world\, seeking art that tells the truth\, and finding something this urgent and poetic and haunting.” — William Boyle \nTickets are $5 and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "BLACK NARCISSUS" (1947)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Septermber 15\, for a screening of 1947’s “Black Narcissus.” This explosive work about the conflict between the spirit and the flesh is the epitome of the sensuous style of co-directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. \nBLACK NARCISSUS | 1947 | DIRECTORS: Michael Powell\, Emeric Pressburger | WITH: Deborah Kerr\, Kathleen Byron\, Flora Robson | RUNNING TIME: 1H 41M | UNRATED no offensive material | PROJECTED IN 2K DCP \nA group of nuns—played by some of Britain’s finest actresses\, including Deborah Kerr\, Kathleen Byron\, and Flora Robson—struggle to establish a convent in the Himalayas\, while isolation\, extreme weather\, altitude\, and culture clashes all conspire to drive the well-intentioned missionaries mad. A darkly grand film that won Oscars for Alfred Junge’s art direction and Jack Cardiff’s cinematography\, Black Narcissus is one of the greatest achievements by two of cinema’s true visionaries. \n\n  \n“Black Narcissus is a film about people who try and fail to remake the world to their specifications\, and it was paradoxically made by people who control every square inch of the environment being represented—every sliver of light\, every quavering breeze—in order to render its effect on frozen consciousness as vividly and dramatically as possible. \n“The sisters in Black Narcissus are taken aback to find their buried memories and unfulfilled yearnings spontaneously conjured to life as they contemplate the apparently limitless horizon. “I think you can see too far\,” observes Sister Philippa (Flora Robson\, who gives the film’s most delicate and underrated performance)\, by way of explaining the sudden intrusion of past experiences into her heretofore perfect spiritual life. \n“in Black Narcissus\, the growing affection and understanding between David Farrar’s Mr. Dean and Deborah Kerr’s Sister Clodagh\, both fixed in their solitude\, remain unremarked and unfulfilled\, a matter of quick glances\, sympathetic exchanges\, and poignantly masked surges of feeling.” — Kent Jones \nTickets are $5 and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "THE GLEANERS AND I" (2000)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Sept. 8\, for a screening of Agnes Varda’s “The Gleaners and I” (2000)\, a self-reflexive documentary in which the French cinema icon explores the world of modern-day gleaners: those living on the margins who survive by foraging for what society throws away. The movie ranked 69th in the 2022 Sight and Sound poll of the 100 greatest movies ever made. \nTHE GLEANERS AND I | 2000) | WRITER-DIRECTOR: Agnes Varda | RUNNING TIME: 1H 22M | IN FRENCH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | UNRATED No offensive material | PROJECTED in 2K DCP format \nEmbracing the intimacy and freedom of digital filmmaking\, Varda posits herself as a kind of gleaner of images and ideas\, one whose generous\, expansive vision makes room for ruminations on everything from aging to the birth of cinema to the beauty of heart-shaped potatoes. \nBy turns playful\, philosophical\, and subtly political\, “The Gleaners and I” is a warmly human reflection on the contradictions of our consumerist world from an artist who\, like her subjects\, finds unexpected richness where few think to look. \n\n  \n“In “The Gleaners and I\,” Varda has a new tool–a modern digital camera. We sense her delight. She can hold it in her hand and take it anywhere. She is liberated from cumbersome equipment. “To film with one hand my other hand\,” she says\, as she does so with delight. She shows how the new cameras make a personal essay possible for a filmmaker–how she can walk out into the world and without the risk of a huge budget simply start picking up images as a gleaner finds apples and potatoes. \n“My hair and my hands keep telling me that the end is near\,” she confides at one point\, speaking confidentially to us as the narrator. She told her friend Howie Movshovitz\, the critic from Boulder\, Colo.\, how she had to film and narrate some scenes while she was entirely alone because they were so personal. In 1993 she directed “Jacquot de Nantes\,” the story of her late husband\, and now this is her story of herself\, a woman whose life has consisted of moving through the world with the tools of her trade\, finding what is worth treasuring.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $5 and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "I AM LOVE" (2009)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Aug. 25\, for the kickoff screening of the 2024 fall edition of “Sundays at The U with Movies.” \nOur first title will be Luca Guadagnino’s 2009 Oscar-nominated masterpiece “I Am Love\,” starring Tilda Swinton. \nI AM LOVE | 2009 | DIRECTOR: Luca Guadagnino | WITH: Tilda Swinton\, Flavio Parenti\, Edoardo Gabbriellini\, Alba Rohrwacher | RUNNING TIME: 2 HOURS | RATED R for nudity\, sexual content | LANGUAGE: Italian\, Russian\, English | DIGITAL PROJECTION \nEmma (played by Swinton) left Russia to live with her husband in Italy. Now a member of a powerful industrial family\, she is the respected mother of three\, but feels unfulfilled. One day\, Antonio\, a talented chef and her son’s friend\, makes her senses kindle. \n\n  \n““I Am Love” is an amazing film. It is deep\, rich\, human. It is not about rich and poor\, but about old and new. It is about the ancient war between tradition and feeling. For this role\, Tilda Swinton learned to speak Italian with a Russian accent\, as Tilda Swinton would\, but her performance is nothing as trivial as a feat of learning. \n“She evokes Emma as a woman who for years has accepted the needs of the Recchis and discovers in a few days to accept her own needs. She must have been waiting a long time for Antonio\, whoever he would be.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $5 and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "DIVA" (1981)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us for our weekly Sunday 1 p.m. matinee screening series with the 1981 arthouse smash “Diva\,” in digital projection. \nDIVA | 1981 | DIRECTOR: Jean-Jacques Beineix | WITH: Wilhelmina Fernandez\, Frederic Andrei\, Roland Bertin | RUNNING TIME: 1H 57M | RATED R for brief violence\, sexual situations\, nudity and adult themes | DIGITAL PROJECTION \nJean-Jacques Beineix (“Betty Blue\,” “The Moon in the Gutter”) directs this exhilarating action-thriller about Jules\, a young opera-loving mailman who becomes inadvertently entangled in murder after a young woman fleeing two mob hit men drops an incriminating cassette into his mailbag. \nJules has just recently recorded opera star Cynthia Hawkins’ latest concert\, something of a coup as Hawkins refuses to make recordings of any kind. Soon Jules finds himself the target of the hit men\, who want the voice recording\, and also of another couple of ominous and mysterious agents. \n  \n\n  \n“Take the chase between that moped and a cop. I didn’t think I could find this movie more enthralling or impressive. Then these two go at it. The pursuit starts on the streets\, vrooming through the arcades along Rue de Rivoli\, plunges into the Métro and\, fittingly for this movie\, terminates at the feet of the Paris Opera. \n“When Jules motors down into the subway\, most cops would give up. This one abandons his car and uses his feet. I haven’t seen anybody want to catch anything this desperately and this unsuccessfully since Wile E. Coyote. You can imagine Tom Cruise refusing to relent\, too. But after Jules gets away\, you’d never catch Cruise this doubled over and out of breath. — Wesley Morris\, The New York Times \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "WILD AT HEART" (1990)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on August 4 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring director David Lynch’s Palme d’Or-winning fantasia”Wild at Heart” (1990) in digital projection. \nWILD AT HEART | 1990 | DIRECTOR: David Lynch | WITH: Nicolas Cage\, Laura Dern\, Willem Dafoe\, Diane Ladd\, Harry Dean Stanton | RUNNING TIME: 2H 5M | RATED R for strong bloody violence\, vulgar language\, sexual content\, nudity\, adult themes | DIGITAL PROJECTION \nYoung lovers Sailor and Lula run from the variety of weirdos that Lula’s mom has hired to kill Sailor. \n  \n\n”Wild at Heart” has as its inspiration Barry Gifford’s road novel about Lula Pace Fortune and her lover\, Sailor Ripley. Lula is just 20 years old and self-described as hotter than Georgia asphalt. Sailor Ripley is a gentle young man who has just served 22 months and 18 days for manslaughter\, having killed a man who attacked him with a knife. \n“Mr. Lynch has taken this slim\, vivid work and pumped it up into a cockeyed epic that goes back to the early days of Pop art. \n“In the center of the picture are the sweetly dopey\, flat\, shadowless figures of Lula (Laura Dern) and Sailor (Nicolas Cage)\, driving toward Big Tuna and earnestly realizing their destiny. Along the way they make intense love\, smoke Kools and Camels\, eat burgers\, drink beer and consider the future (”I’m sorry\, Sailor\,” says Lula after some introspection\, ”but the ozone layer is disappearing.”) \n“Around Lula and Sailor Mr. Lynch has created a kind of frieze of melodramatic characters and events – flashbacks as well as concurrent actions\, which sometimes enrich the film and sometimes have no pertinence except as found objects. It’s a matter of scale again.” — Vincent Canby\, The New York Times \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez. Tickets are $5 and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "CITY OF GOD" (2002)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on July 28 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring co-director Fernando Meirelles’ Oscar-nominated drama “City of God” (2002) in digital projection. \nCITY OF GOD | 2002 | CO-DIRECTORS: Fernando Meirelles\, Katia Lund | WITH: Alexandre Rodrigues\, Leandro Firmino\, Matheus Nachtergaele | RUNNING TIME: 2H 10M | RATED R for strong bloody violence\, vulgar language\, adult themes | DIGITAL PROJECTION \nNominated for four Oscars\, including Best Director\, Best Adapted Screenplay\, Best Editing and Best Cinematography\, this hyper-kinetic\, harrowing and exhilarating drama is set in the slums of Rio\, Brazil\, where two kids’ paths diverge as one struggles to become a photographer and the other a kingpin. \n  \n\n  \n“”City of God” churns with furious energy as it plunges into the story of the slum gangs of Rio de Janeiro. Breathtaking and terrifying\, urgently involved with its characters\, it announces a new director of great gifts and passions: Fernando Meirelles. The film has been compared with Scorsese’s “GoodFellas\,” and it deserves the comparison. Scorsese’s film began with a narrator who said that for as long as he could remember he wanted to be a gangster. The narrator of this film seems to have had no other choice. \n“The movie takes place in slums constructed by Rio to isolate the poor people from the city center. They have grown into places teeming with life\, color\, music and excitement–and also with danger\, for the law is absent and violent gangs rule the streets. \n“In the virtuoso sequence opening the picture\, a gang is holding a picnic for its members when a chicken escapes. Among those chasing it is Rocket\, the narrator. He suddenly finds himself between two armed lines: the gang on one side\, the cops on the other. \n“Working with the cinematographer Cesar Charlone\, director Meirelles uses quick-cutting and a mobile\, hand-held camera to tell his story with the haste and detail it deserves. Sometimes those devices can create a film that is merely busy\, but “City of God” feels like sight itself\, as we look here and then there\, with danger or opportunity everywhere.” — Roger Ebert \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez.
