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

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

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

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

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: "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: "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.
