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 \n\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.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "PLAYTIME" (1967)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on July 21 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring actor-director Jacques Tati’s enchanting “PlayTime” (1967) in digital projection. \nPLAYTIME | 1967 | DIRECTOR: Jacques Tati | WITH: Jacques Tati\, Barbara Dennek\, Rita Maiden | RUNNING TIME: 2H 35M | UNRATED no offensive material | 2K DCP PROJECTION \nJacques Tati’s gloriously choreographed\, nearly wordless comedies about confusion in an age of high technology reached their apotheosis with PlayTime. For this monumental achievement\, a nearly three-year-long\, bank-breaking production\, Tati again thrust the lovably old-fashioned Monsieur Hulot\, along with a host of other lost souls\, into a baffling modern world\, this time Paris. \nWith every inch of its superwide frame crammed with hilarity and inventiveness\, PlayTime is a lasting record of a modern era tiptoeing on the edge of oblivion. \n\n  \n“Playtime is a movie that unfolds entirely in a public space. Even the strange sequence showing us adjacent living rooms is shot exclusively from the street; and the only time we see Barbara in her hotel room is when a maid delivers her evening dress. So there’s something inappropriate and contrary to Tati’s design for the film about its being viewed in private spaces\, especially on any screen smaller than oneself. \n“Playtime assumes a precise contiguity and continuity with the public space of a movie theater\, where we share its experience with others—just as the customers and employees of the Royal Garden eventually manage to carve out a common social investment in an establishment that’s gradually disintegrating around them. Even if we sometimes wind up laughing at different gags\, we’re all laughing to some degree at ourselves\, and the sense of mutual recognition is crucial. \n“Mobile phones have sadly made the sense of public urban space as it exists in Playtime almost archaic\, a kind of lost paradise. The utopian vision of shared space that informs the latter scenes—beginning in the new Royal Garden restaurant at night and continuing the next morning in a drugstore and on the streets of Paris—is made unthinkable by mobile phones\, whose use can be said to constitute both a depletion and a form of denial of public space\, especially because the people using them tend to ignore the other people in immediate physical proximity to them. \n“Nevertheless\, given his capacity to keep abreast of social changes\, I have little doubt that Tati\, if he were alive today\, could and probably would construct wonderful gags involving the use of these phones. And if he were making Playtime now\, I suspect he’d most likely be inventing gags for the first part that involved mobile phones\, and then would have to find ways of destroying or disempowering them to make way for the second part. (It’s hardly accidental that his most brilliantly and elaborately developed gag involves the shattering of glass\, another social barrier.)” — Jonathan Rosenbaum \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "NIGHTS OF CABIRIA" (1957)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on July 14 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring director Federico Fellini’s Oscar-winning “Nights of Cabiria” (1957) in digital projection. \nNIGHTS OF CABIRIA | 1957 | DIRECTOR: Federico Fellini | WITH: Giuletta Masina\, Francois Perier\, Franca Marzi | RUNNING TIME: 1H 50M | UNRATED adult themes | DIGITAL PROJECTION \nIn the fifth of their immortal collaborations\, Federico Fellini and the exquisitely expressive Giulietta Masina completed the creation of one of the most indelible characters in all of cinema: Cabiria\, an irrepressible\, fiercely independent sex worker who\, as she moves through the sea of Rome’s humanity\, through adversity and heartbreak\, must rely on herself—and her own indomitable spirit—to stay standing. \nWinner of the best actress prize at Cannes for Masina and the Academy Award for best foreign-language film\, Nights of Cabiria brought the early\, neorealist-influenced phase of Fellini’s career to a transcendent close with its sublimely heartbreaking yet hopeful final image\, which embodies\, perhaps more than any other in the director’s body of work\, the blend of the bitter and the sweet that define his vision of the world. \n\n  \n“Nights of Cabiria” plays like a plucky collaboration on an adult theme between Fellini and Chaplin. Masina deliberately based her Cabiria on the Little Tramp\, I think–most obviously with some business with an umbrella\, and a struggle with the curtains in a nightclub. But while Chaplin’s character inhabited a world of stock villains and happy endings\, Cabiria survives at the low end of Rome’s prostitution trade. \n“When she’s picked up by a famous actor and he asks her if she works the Via Veneto\, the center of Rome’s glitz\, she replies matter-of-factly that\, no\, she prefers the Archeological Passage\, because she can commute there on the subway. \n“Cabiria is a working girl. Not a sentimentalized one\, as in “Sweet Charity\,” the Broadway musical and movie based on this story\, but a tough cookie who climbs into truck cabs\, gets in fights and hides in the bushes during police raids. \n“She’s proud to own her own house–a tiny shack in an industrial wasteland–and she dreams of sooner or later finding true romance\, but her taste in men is dangerous\, it’s so trusting; the movie opens with her current lover and pimp stealing her purse and shoving her into the river to drown. \n“Of all his characters\, Fellini once said\, Cabiria was the only one he was still worried about. In 1992\, when Fellini was given an honorary career Oscar\, he looked down from the podium to Masina sitting in the front row and told her not to cry. The camera cut to her face\, showing her smiling bravely through her tears\, and there was Cabiria.” — Roger Ebert \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "THE HANDMAIDEN" (2016)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on June 23 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring director Park Chan-Wook’s sublime erotic thriller “The Handmaiden” (2016) in digital projection. \nTHE HANDMAIDEN| 2016 | DIRECTOR: Park Chan-Wook | WITH: Kim Min-hee\, Ha Jung-woo\, Cho Jin-woong | RUNNING TIME: 2H 25M | UNRATED contains sexual situations\, nudity\, brief violence\, strong adult themes | DIGITAL PROJECTION \nIn 1930s Korea\, during the Japanese occupation\, a young woman is hired as a handmaiden to a Japanese heiress who lives a secluded life on a large countryside estate with her domineering uncle. But the maid has a secret. She is a pickpocket recruited by a swindler posing as a Japanese Count to help him seduce the Lady to elope with him\, rob her of her fortune\, and lock her up in a madhouse. The plan seems to proceed according to plan until the two women discover some unexpected emotions. \n  \n\n  \n“Sookee\, a former pickpocket\, is secretly working for a scam artist who passes himself off as a rich Japanese count. Their plan is to make a young heiress fall in love with him so he can marry her\, lock her away in an asylum and run off with her vast fortune. The heiress has thieves to the left of her\, creepers to the right\, and for the first 30 minutes of “The Handmaiden\,” you fear nothing but calamity is heading her way. \n“Then director Park Chan-wook pulls off his first reveal — one of the countless twists this sensual\, gorgeously depraved movie springs on you. Almost all of Park’s previous pictures (“Old Boy\,” “Stoker\,” “Lady Vengeance”) relied on the element of surprise to weave their corrosive magic. But “The Handmaiden” throws so many narrative curves at you that the film becomes a cinematic puzzle-box\, with secrets nestled within secrets within secrets. \n“Discovering them is huge fun. So is watching this grand\, elegant movie\, which finds Park in an unusually sunny mood. The story’s themes — the victims of colonialism\, the oppression between classes\, the damage wrought by cultural sexism — are serious. But they’re served up in a movie that makes its playful intentions obvious early on\, then starts batting the audience around in unexpected directions. \n“The film is best approached cold\, its turns of plot unspoiled. But more timid viewers should know Park has never been shy about depicting graphic sexuality in his work\, and he outdoes himself with “The Handmaiden\,” in which carnality plays such an important role it deserves its own screen credit. \n‘“The Handmaiden” hails from South Korea\, but compared to most American movies of its scale and budget\, it might as well have been made on another planet. This may not be Park’s best or gravest picture. But it might be his most entertaining.’ — Rene Rodriguez\, The Miami Herald \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "RUMBLE FISH" (1983)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on June 16 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring director Francis Ford Coppola’s startling adaptation of the S.E. Hinto young adult novel “Rumble Fish” (1983) in digital projection. \nRUMBLE FISH | 1983 | DIRECTOR: Francis Ford Coppola | WITH: Matt Dillon\, Mickey Rourke\, Diane Lane\, Nicolas Cage\, Dennis Hopper\, Vincent Spano\, Laurence Fishburne | RUNNING TIME: 1H 34M | RATED R for language\, gang violence\, sexual situations\, nudity\, adult themes. |  DIGITAL PROJECTION \nIn this deeply personal tale of estrangement and reconciliation between two rebellious brothers\, set in a dreamlike and timeless Tulsa\, Francis Ford Coppola gives mythic dimensions to intimate\, painful emotions. \nThe director’s “art film for teenagers” was his second adaptation of young-adult novelist S. E. Hinton’s work in a single year\, after the more classically styled The Outsiders. Graced with a remarkable cast headed by Matt Dillon\, Mickey Rourke\, and Diane Lane; haunting black-and-white visuals that hark back to German expressionism; and a powerful percussive score by Stewart Copeland that underlines the movie’s romantic fatalism\, Rumble Fish pulsates throughout with genuine love and dread. \n  \n\n  \n“On Sundays during the Outsiders shoot\, Coppola and Hinton worked on the script for Rumble Fish\, a more intimate but also more strangely mythic narrative than that of The Outsiders. He then enlisted a couple of actors from the other film\, Matt Dillon\, then eighteen\, and Diane Lane\, then seventeen\, to play its leads. \n“Where for The Outsiders Coppola took a lush\, emotive\, romantic approach replete with allusions to Gone with the Wind (a favorite movie of one of its characters)\, with Rumble Fish he went about finding himself in a different way. The story here is very simple: Rusty-James (Dillon)\, a charming\, aimless gang leader\, searches for meaning in the absence of his legendary older brother\, the Motorcycle Boy. \n“The Motorcycle Boy cruises back into town at a crucial juncture for Rusty-James\, and the older brother has a message for the younger: he’s not going to find what he’s looking for. The brothers wrestle with their drunkard father\, Rusty-James wrestles with his feelings for his sometimes girlfriend\, Patty (Lane)\, a local cop sets his gun sight on the Motorcycle Boy\, and all the characters enact gestures and provocations both intimate and archetypal. \n“The future in which Rumble Fish is set resides at least in part in its vision of tormented but fluid masculinity. For a couple of supposed tough guys\, Rusty-James and the Motorcycle Boy are almost perversely lacking in machismo. They’re ideals of a sort; doomed as they may be\, they represent potential alternatives to the toxic masculinity of a Sonny Corleone. \n“Rumble Fish as a whole is suffused with that longing\, and it goes in many directions. Rusty-James may not be the brightest fellow\, but he has a desire that is very direct and possibly universal: “I just want you to see me\, man\,” he says through his pain.” — Glenn Kenny \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "UMBERTO D." (1952)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on June 9 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring director Vittoria De Sica’s unforgettable “Umberto D.” (1952) in 2K DCP projection. \nUMBERTO D. | 1952 | DIRECTOR: Vittorio De Sica | WITH: Carlo Battisti\, Maria Pia Casilio\, Lina Gennari | RUNNING TIME: 1H 29M | UNRATED no offensive material | 2K DIGITAL PROJECTION \nThis neorealist masterpiece by Vittorio De Sica follows an elderly pensioner as he strives to make ends meet during Italy’s postwar economic recovery. Alone except for his dog\, Flike\, Umberto struggles to maintain his dignity in a city where human kindness seems to have been swallowed up by the forces of modernization. \nHis simple quest to satisfy his basic needs—food\, shelter\, companionship—makes for one of the most heartbreaking stories ever filmed\, and an essential classic of world cinema. \n  \n\n  \n“Umberto D. is perhaps the most astringent film ever made about a poor old man and his dog. Critics today tend to like the astringent parts: the long\, deliberately undramatic sequences full of mundane activity (such as a housemaid’s morning routine)\, performed with little or no dialogue and shot as if in real time. People who admire the work of such contemporary filmmakers as Hou Hsiao-hsien\, Chantal Akerman\, and Abbas Kiarostami can see something up-to-date in this aspect of Umberto D.\, and even recognize in it a principal source of today’s cinema of the steady gaze. \nThese same critics generally dislike the pooch. They feel that screenwriter Cesare Zavattini and director Vittorio De Sica did enough to immiserate their title character by depriving him of youth\, family\, friends\, health\, money\, and home. Surely an audience needs no further prompting to feel the isolation of Umberto Domenico Ferrari. \n“That the filmmakers also make him go everywhere with little Flike—clutching him to his breast\, fretting over his well-being\, ultimately begging the dog to come play with him—seems to these viewers an almost invasive ploy\, as if Zavattini and De Sica were trying to force into their hands an already soggy handkerchief. \n“But as someone who begins weeping at the first notes of the title music—someone who thinks this film’s long\, undramatic sequences can be seen best when watched through tears—I wouldn’t want Zavattini and De Sica to have backed off. I believe their greatest work\, which surely includes Umberto D.\, kept touch faithfully with popular sentiment\, even while helping to create the decidedly unpopular tradition of the art-house film. \n“Perhaps today’s division between auteurist productions and mass-market movies might be eased\, and contemporary cinema enlivened\, if our filmmakers would more often put themselves at risk as Zavattini and De Sica did with Umberto D.” — Stuart Klawans \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "TRUE LOVE" (1989)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on June 2 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring the 1989 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize winner “True Love” in digital projection. \nTRUE LOVE | 1989 | DIRECTOR: Nancy Savoca | WITH: Annabella Sciorra\, Ron Eldard\, Aida Turturro\, Roger Rignack | RUNNING TIME: 1H 44M | RATED R for language | DIGITAL PROJECTION \nDonna and Michael are getting married. But first\, they have to plan the reception\, get the tux\, buy the rings\, and cope with their own uncertainty about the decision. Michael fears commitment. Donna has her doubts about Michael’s immaturity. Both are getting cold feet. \n  \n\n  \n“There is a sense in “True Love” that the marriage preparations lead to marriage almost through the sheer force of momentum. A hall has to be hired. A menu has to be selected (with mashed potatoes dyed to match the color of the bridesmaids’ dresses). Families and friends swarm about the two stars of the event\, until they hardly have time to communicate with each other. \n“But they do talk. And gradually\, as we listen\, we begin to realize that “True Love” is deeper than it first seems. The movie begins as a comedy of wedding preparations and lifestyles\, but as it goes along and we get to know Donna and Michael better\, we begin to suspect that these people should never get married\, that Michael is an immature alcoholic and that in some ways Donna knows it but lacks the determination to call off the ceremony.” — Roger Ebert \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "GIRLHOOD" (2014)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us on May 12 at 1 p.m. for our weekly Sunday screening series\, featuring the 2014 award-winning drama “Girlhood” in 2K digital projection. \nGIRLHOOD | 2014 | DIRECTOR: Céline Sciamma | WITH: Karidja Toure\, Assa Sylla\, Lindsay Karamoh | RUNNING TIME: 1H 53M | UNRATED contains violent content\, sexual situations\, brief nudity and alcohol/smoking | 2K DIGITAL PROJECTION \nOppressed by her family setting\, dead-end school prospects and the boys law in the neighborhood\, Marieme starts a new life after meeting a group of 3 free-spirited girls. She changes her name\, her dress code\, and quits school to be accepted in the gang\, hoping that this will be a way to freedom. \n\n  \n“Céline Sciamma’s “Girlhood” can be described (like so many movies these days) as a coming-of-age story\, and it honors the genre\, and its main character\, with exemplary sensitivity and sympathy. But even as she stops at familiar stations on the road to maturity — problems at home and school\, new friendships and first love — Ms. Sciamma revels in the risky\, reckless exuberance of adolescence and in the sheer joy of filming it. \n“While “Girlhood” is sad and wrenching\, it doesn’t feel like a misery-mongering expression of high-minded (and therefore condescending) concern. This is because Karidja Touré\, evolving from the shy Marieme into the assertive Vic\, carries herself with the kind of dignity that disarms all pity\, and also because Ms. Sciamma is less interested in what Marieme might represent than in what she experiences. \n“While the movie has a lot to say about the general condition of being a girl\, in the Paris banlieues and elsewhere\, it never loses sight of the specific girl at its heart.” — A.O. Scott\, 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: "SANSHO THE BAILIFF" (1954)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us for our weekly Sunday 1 p.m. matinee screening series with director Kenji Mizoguchi’s mesmerizing “Sansho the Bailiff\,” in 2K digital projection. \nSANSHO THE BAILIFF | 1954 | DIRECTOR: Kenzi Mizoguchi | WITH: Kinuyo Tanaka\, Yoshiaki Hanajagi\, Kyoko Kagawaya | RUNNING TIME: 2H 4M | UNRATED contains brief violence and adult themes | PROJECTED IN 2K DCP \nWhen an idealistic governor disobeys the reigning feudal lord\, he is cast into exile\, his wife and children left to fend for themselves and eventually wrenched apart by vicious slave traders. Under Kenji Mizoguchi’s dazzling direction\, this classic Japanese story became one of cinema’s greatest masterpieces\, a monumental\, empathetic expression of human resilience in the face of evil. \n\n“Sometimes it is difficult to say exactly why a story strikes us with such power. In the case of “Sansho the Bailiff\,” it may be the unrelieved tragedy that strikes this good family for no good reason. They are not destroyed instantly\, in a natural cataclysm\, but separated for long years to know and experience their fates. \n“That gives us time enough to know and believe the depth of Sansho’s cruelty. Some humans are born without kindness or mercy\, and do with pleasure what others could not do at all.” — Roger Ebert \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "MCCABE AND MRS. MILLER" (1971)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nOur weekly Sunday 1 p.m. matinee screening series returns with director Robert Altman’s classic “McCabe & Mrs. Miller” (1971)\, starring Warren Beatty and Julie Christie. \nMCCABE & MRS MILLER | 1971 | DIRECTOR: Robert Altman | WITH: Warren Beatty\, Julie Christie\, Rene Auberjonois\, William Devane\, Shelley Duvall | RUNNING TIME: 2H | RATED R for brief violence\, sexual situations\, nudity\, vulgar language\, adult themes | PROJECTED IN 4K DCP \nThis unorthodox dream western by Robert Altman may be the most radically beautiful film to come out of the New American Cinema of the 1970s.  Beatty and Christie play two newcomers to the raw Pacific Northwest mining town of Presbyterian Church\, who join forces to provide the miners with a superior kind of whorehouse experience. \nThe appearance of representatives for a powerful mining company with interests of its own\, however\, threatens to be the undoing of their plans. With its fascinating\, flawed characters\, evocative cinematography by the great Vilmos Zsigmond\, innovative overlapping dialogue\, and haunting use of Leonard Cohen songs\,\, McCabe & Mrs. Miller brilliantly deglamorized and revitalized the most American of genres. \n\n  \n““McCabe & Mrs. Miller” tells the sad tale of a quixotic gambler and a practical minded madam—how they meet in a ramshackle\, turn‐of‐the‐century Northwest mining village named Presbyterian Church\, briefly as partners in a saloon and whorehouse business\, then are driven apart and destroyed by realities harsher than their wistfully self‐deluded personalities can deal with. \n“It is a bittersweet romantic idyll photographed in the opalescent rainy‐day grays and wan gas‐light yellows of the past as one imagines it — not\, that is\, as one imagines it to have been\, but as it exists in the imagination\, drenched in the perfumes of nostalgia and disenchantment. \n“It is a film which seems to have\, in addition to sound and image tracks\, a kind of “feeling track\,” a continuous sequence of fugitive emotional tones that must be laid to the extraordinary sensibility of Altman\, whose mind looms in his work like the Creator’s in a sunset.” — Peter Schjeldahl\, The New York Times \nThe screening will be introduced by Bill Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez.
