SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "JOURNEY TO ITALY" (1954)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, March 29\, for a screening of director Roberto Rossellini’s influential “Journey to Italy” (1954)\, which is considered a predecessor to the existentialist works of Michelangelo Antonioni and hailed as a groundbreaking modernist work by the legendary film journal Cahiers du cinéma. \nThe movie\, which charts the declining marriage of a couple from England (Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders) on a trip in the countryside near Naples\, is more than just the anatomy of a relationship: Rossellini’s masterpiece is a heartrending work of emotion and spirituality. \n\n“With a cycle of projects starring his wife Ingrid Bergman\, Roberto Rossellini began to lose some of the critics whose attention he had grabbed with ‘Rome: Open City’ (1945). Moving away from the neo-realist movement’s unflinching depiction of post-war social realities\, he was beginning to chart the emotional relationships between his characters. \nKatherine and Alexander Joyce (Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders) are an English couple holidaying in Naples whose marriage starts to fracture under the strains of mutual boredom and resentment. The striking looseness of Rossellini’s storytelling suggests the subjective textures of life\, encompassing periods of dead time that anticipate the modernist art films of Michelangelo Antonioni. \n“‘With the appearance of ‘Journey to Italy\,’ all films have suddenly aged ten years\,’ Jacques Rivette wrote. Narratively open and fragmented\, driven by melancholy\, astonishment and the disruptive force of reality\, it is the ideal junction in Rossellini’s filmography between the neorealist experience\, his artistic collaboration with Ingrid Bergman\, and the adventurous\, avant-garde nature that would guide the great Roman director throughout his career.” — Giulio Casadei \nTickets are $6 and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "I VITELLONI" (1953)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, March 22\, for a screening of “I Vitelloni\,” director Federico Fellini’s Oscar-nominated 1953 classic about five young Italian men at crucial turning points in their small-town lives. \nFederico Fellini’s second outing as a solo director yielded his first commercial success\, a clear-eyed portrait of five young men lingering in a postadolescent limbo\, dreaming of adventure and escape from their small coastal town. \nDrawing on memories tucked between the childhood nostalgia of “Amarcord” and the big-city hangover of “La dolce vita\,” Fellini crafts a semiautobiographical masterpiece of sharply drawn character sketches: of skirt-chasing Fausto\, forced to marry a girl he has impregnated; Alberto\, the perpetual child; Leopoldo\, a writer thirsting for fame; and Moraldo\, the conscience of the group. \nAn Oscar nominee for best original screenplay\, “I vitelloni” captures the lassitude and longing of its protagonists with comic insight and compassion. \n\n  \n“In the long dream of image and spectacle that was Federico Fellini’s career\, “I Vitelloni” occupies a nodal point. Filmed in 1953\, between the brilliant but somewhat superficial “The White Sheik” (1952) and his first fully characteristic work\, “La Strada” (1954)\, “I Vitelloni” marks a big step forward in Fellini’s ability to get deep into his characters’ psychology; it points ahead both to the bitter social satire of “La Dolce Vita” (1960) and to the great canvases of nostalgia and the artist’s nature\, “8 1/2” (1963)\, “Amarcord”—and the neglected late masterpiece “Intervista” (1987). \n“In terms of technique\, “I Vitelloni” may be the least “Felliniesque” of the director’s major films. It makes far less use of the odd foreshortenings\, the unexpected close-ups\, the expert manipulation of relations between foreground and background that formed so much of Fellini’s expressive vocabulary\, and there are fewer of the gargoyles and dreamlike surreal characters that populate his most recognizable work. In places the camera work is uncharacteristically static\, as in the early scenes in which Fausto prepares to leave his father’s house after learning that Sandra is pregnant. \n“Yet despite its relatively conventional technique\, I Vitelloni takes the first definitive plunge into many of Fellini’s dominant thematic and imagistic preoccupations: arrested development in men\, marriage and infidelity\, the life of provincial towns versus the city\, the melancholy and mystery of deserted nighttime streets\, the seashore\, the movies themselves. Many of these themes and major images can be found in somewhat germinal form in “The White Sheik\,” and even to some degree in “Variety Lights.” But in “I Vitelloni” they move from being accessories to the action to being the heart of the matter. — Tom Piazza \nTickets are $6 and available at the link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "AMARCORD" (1973)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, October 5 for a screening of Federico Fellini’s Oscar-winning masterpiece “Amarcord” (1973). \nFederico Fellini returned to the provincial landscape of his childhood with this carnivalesque reminiscence\, recreating his hometown of Rimini in Cinecittà’s studios and rendering its daily life as a circus of social rituals\, adolescent desires\, male fantasies\, and political subterfuge. \nSketching a gallery of warmly observed comic caricatures\, Fellini affectionately evokes a vanished world haloed with the glow of memory\, even as he sends up authority figures representing church and state\, satirizing a country stultified by Fascism. \nWinner of Fellini’s fourth Academy Award for best foreign-language film\, “Amarcord” remains one of the director’s best-loved creations\, beautifully weaving together Giuseppe Rottuno’s colorful cinematography\, Danilo Donati’s extravagant costumes and sets\, and Nino Rota’s nostalgia-tinged score. \n\n““Amarcord” is like a long dance number\, interrupted by dialogue\, public events and meals. It is constructed like a guided tour through a year in the life of the town\, from one spring to the next. There are several narrators\, including an old rummy-dummy who visibly forgets his lines\, and a professor who lectures us learnedly on the town’s historical precedents. \n“Other narrators include the singing voices of the children\, heralding the arrival of the first dandelion balls of spring\, and a confiding voice on the soundtrack that is Fellini himself.” — 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).

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: "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: "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: "DAY FOR NIGHT" (1973)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Aug. 24th\, for a rare theatrical screening of 1973’s “Day for Night\,” director Francois Truffaut love letter to movies and the people who make them. \nTruffaut himself appears as the harried director of a frivolous melodrama\, the shooting of which is plagued by the whims of a neurotic actor (Jean-Pierre Léaud)\, an aging but still forceful Italian diva (Valentina Cortese)\, and a British ingenue haunted by personal scandal (Jacqueline Bisset). An irreverent paean to the prosaic craft of cinema as well as a delightful human comedy about the pitfalls of sex and romance\, “Day for Night” is buoyed by robust performances and a sparkling score by the legendary Georges Delerue. \n\n  \n“Probably no story since “The 400 Blows” had excited Truffaut as much as “Day for Night.” After all\, it’s a film about filmmaking from a celebrated film lover; it’s hard to see how the subject could have failed to energize him. But somehow\, despite our high expectations\, the movie still manages to surprise us with how good it is—it’s magical\, in fact. Nothing in it feels like the product of meticulous design\, even as the craft behind the simplest moments of a feature film is exposed. Depicting the shoot\, from first day to last\, of a movie called “Meet Pamela\,” “Day for Night” seems effortless\, as if this was the movie Truffaut had been preparing for all his life. \n“It’s hard to believe that the movie’s structure had never been used before\, but I don’t think it had. In many ways\, “Day for Night” plays as a mockumentary\, an impression strengthened by Truffaut’s appearance as the director\, Ferrand\, and Truffaut’s frequent star Jean-Pierre Léaud’s as Alphonse. The third team member playing himself is composer Georges Delerue\, who is heard only over the phone but is referred to by his full name. \n“Making movies can be a way for a movie lover to live inside movies. And once in a while\, such a filmmaker might create something so beautiful the audience will want to climb inside too.” — David Cairns \nTickets are $6 and available at the link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "GOOD MORNING" (1959)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Aug. 17 for director Yajusiro Ozu’s endearing “Good Morning” (1959)\, a lighthearted take on the filmmaker’s perennial theme of the challenges of inter­generational relationships. \nThe movie tells the story of two young boys who stop speaking in protest after their parents refuse to buy a television set. Ozu weaves a wealth of subtle gags through a family portrait as rich as those of his dramatic films\, mocking the foibles of the adult world through the eyes of his child protagonists. \nShot in stunning color and set in a suburb of Tokyo where housewives gossip about the neighbors’ new washing machine and unemployed husbands look for work as door-to-door salesmen\, this charming comedy refashions Ozu’s own silent classic “I Was Born\, But . . .” to gently satirize consumerism in postwar Japan. \nThe film will be projected in 2K digital format. \n\n  \n“From its very opening\, Good Morning (1959) is deeply and delightfully musical\, both in the orchestration of static visual elements in its first two shots and in its rhythmic patterns of human movement\, as various figures cross the pathways between houses\, between houses and hill\, and on top of the hill itself—always\, mysteriously\, moving from right to left. And what could be more musical than the opening gag\, occurring on the same sunny hilltop\, of little boys farting for their own amusement\, still another form of theme and variations? \n“Good Morning has its own ways of ironically comparing children and grown-ups\, such as juxtaposing timid small talk between a youthful couple waiting for a train with the schoolboys’ farting game. (There is also an implicit comparison in the depiction of the adults’ childish envy when one household purchases a TV set and another a new washing machine.)  Movie posters for Stanley Kramer’s The Defiant Ones and Louis Malle’s The Lovers\, combined with various glimpses of sumo wrestlers on TV\, allude not only to the recalcitrant sons but also to a sense of antagonistic parties chained together by circumstance that often seems to function just below the surface of the everyday pleasantries. \n“A grandmother muttering gripes between her prayers\, the drunken Tomizawa coming home to the wrong house\, the young scat-singing couple being quietly hounded out of the community\, a thoughtful Keitaro wondering if television will “produce 100 million idiots”—all these moments are characteristically uninflected\, and each goes straight to the heart of the film.” — Jonathan Rosenbaum \nTickets are $6 and available at the link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "JOHNNY GUITAR" (1954)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Aug. 3\, for a screening of “Johnny Guitar\,” director Nicholas Ray’s 1954 landmark western starring Joan Crawford as a strong-willed female saloon owner who is wrongly suspected of murder and bank robbery after helping a wounded gang member. \nJOHNNY GUITAR | 1954 | DIRECTOR: Nicholas Ray | WITH: Joan Crawford\, Sterling Hayden\, Mercedes McCambridge\, Ernest Borgnine\, John Carradine | RUNNING TIME: 1H 50M | UNRATED Contains mild violence \n“The Western is the prime political genre\, and Nicholas Ray’s “Johnny Guitar” is one of the greatest Westerns\, but its political ideas are hardly the source of its enduring—and controversial—power. What makes the movie is the performances by its lead actors\, Joan Crawford and Sterling Hayden\, which are different in kind from any others that I’ve seen\, including by those actors elsewhere. \n“Performances are always connected to direction\, but the ones in “Johnny Guitar” appear even more so—in terms of the composition of images\, the positioning of actors relative to one another and to the décor\, and\, above all\, the movie’s general tone—than literally any Hollywood movie I know\, including such epochally inventive ones as “Citizen Kane” and “Vertigo.” Without any intellectual palaver\, metafictional games\, or reflexive winks\, “Johnny Guitar” is a theory of cinema in motion. \nhttps://youtu.be/fR2QIh4mYso?si=xX-uNWFfw16Q5ioN \n  \n“Even in the studio world of seductive artifice\, “Johnny Guitar” stands out; it achieves an unmatched height of stylized behavior. The film is a sort of cinematic opera in which scenes have the force of arias\, in which dialogue less advances the action than it adorns the movie like bruising and vulnerable lyric poetry\, in which the framing of actors forms a unique visual music—even unique in the career of its director\, Nicholas Ray\, who made many enduring classics (such as “In a Lonely Place” and “Rebel Without a Cause”) but nowhere else reached the singular intensity and stylistic purity of “Johnny Guitar.” \n“It’s among the very heights of what the Hollywood system\, for all its distortions and exclusions\, was capable of—and\, even more important\, it represents the furthest extreme that the star system could produce or allow.” — Richard Brody\, New Yorker \nTickets are $6 and available at link above.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "NETWORK" (1976)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, July 27th\, for director Sidney Lumet’s Oscar-winning “Network\,” a merciless — and timely — satire of the machinations inside the news department of a major TV network. \nNETWORK | 1976 | DIRECTOR: Sidney Lumet | WITH: Faye Dunaway\, William Holden\, Peter Firth\, Beatrice Straight\, Robert Duvall\, Ned Beatty | RATED R for vulgar language\, sexual situations\, strong adult themes | RUNNING TIME: 2H 1M \nA television network cynically exploits a deranged former anchor’s ravings and revelations about mass media for its own profit\, but finds that his message may be difficult to control. \n\n  \n“The movie caused a sensation in 1976. It was nominated for 10 Oscars\, won four (Finch\, Dunaway\, supporting actress Beatrice Straight\, screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky)\, and stirred up much debate about the decaying values of television. Seen a quarter-century later\, it is like prophecy. When Chayefsky created Howard Beale\, could he have imagined Jerry Springer\, Howard Stern and the World Wrestling Federation? \n“One of Chayefsky’s key insights is that the bosses don’t much care what you say on TV\, as long as you don’t threaten their profits. Howard Beale calls for outrage\, he advises viewers to turn off their sets\, his fans chant about how fed up they are–but he only gets in trouble when he reveals plans to sell the network’s parent company to Saudi Arabians. \n“There’s a parallel here with “The Insider\,” a 1999 film about CBS News\, where “60 Minutes” can do just about anything it wants to\, except materially threaten CBS profits.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $6 and available at link above.

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.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "ROSEWOOD" (1997)
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).
