Also Screening

Saturday, September 1 – Monday, September 3The Great Dictatorat 1:00, 9:30(1940) dir Charlie Chaplin w/Chaplin, Paulette Godard, Jack Oakie [124 min] Chaplin’s first synch-sound film was, and remains, his most controversial. It wasthe first time he had ever written a script in advance, and he shot on a closed set.Chaplin stars in a dual role as a Jewish barber and the dictator Adenoid Hynkelwho he is mistaken for. After the reality of Germany under Hitler had been fullyexposed, Chaplin wished that he had never made THE GREAT DICTATOR. Yet,almost 70 years later, the film represents a unique attempt to laugh in the face ofhorror, to remain on the side of civilization when barbarity reigned. – adaptedfrom notes for Film Society of Lincoln Center

Friday, September 7 & Saturday, September 8Fritz Lang’s

MetropolisFri at 4:30; Sat at 2:00, 4:30, 7:00(1927) dir Fritz Lang w/Alfred Abel, Gustav Frölich, Brigitte Helm,Rudolf Klein-Rogge [124 min]

Certainly one of Kino’s greatest achievements of the past 10 years has been bring-ing this fantastic resurrection of one of cinema’s masterpieces to the U.S. Amidthe gleaming towers of a gigantic city of the future the pampered son of the bigboss himself is smitten by a young woman and follows her into the depths of thecity – where he discovers what really makes Metropolis run. As slavishly regi-mented workers with numbers instead of names toil amid smoke-belchingmachinery, he has a vision of slaves lining up for sacrifice. Meanwhile, his fatheranticipates unrest and makes plans to defuse it, inciting an eccentric inventor tofashion an agent provocateur, the ‘robot-Maria” – one of the most indelible iconsof science fiction film.

Inspired (or so the legend says) by his first glimpse of the New York skyline, FritzLang’s visionary work, with its thousands of extras, monstrous sets and cutting-edge camera trickery, was a legend almost from release. Mercilessly edited inevery subsequent version, METROPOLIS was seen as Lang conceived it only bythe earliest Berlin audiences. Until 2001, when an astonishing 1257 scenes weredigitally restored. The result is probably the most complete version of Lang’swork that will ever be seen.

Sunday, September 9 & Monday, September 10Wong Kar Wai ’s

Fallen Angelsat 5:30, 7:30 (+ Sun at 1:30, 3:30)(1995) dir Wong Kar-Wai w/Leon Lai, Michelle Reis, Takeshi Kaneshiro [90 min]One of Wong Kar-Wai’s most purely enjoyable films, FALLEN ANGELS followsLeon Lai as a cool-as-ice hit man who receives his faxed assignments from hisagent, Michelle Reis. When the agent isn’t planning the killer’s next hit she'scleaning his apartment or rolling around fantasizing about him even though thetwo never meet. The genre aspects take a back seat to Chris Doyle’s fantasticcamera work and the amusing subplot surrounding Takeshi Kaneshiro as a mutewho breaks into closed lunch stands and forces passersby to be his patrons.

Tuesday, September 11 & Wednesday, September 12Shadows of Forgotten Ancestorsat 3:30, 8:00(1964) dir Sergie Parajanov w/Ivan Mikolajchuk, Larisa

Kadochnikova, Tatyana Bestayeva [97 min]Paradjanov’s gloriously colorful and kinesthetically bracing saga of Ivan andMarichka, the Romeo and Juliet of the Carpathians. Chants, folksongs, atonalmusic all combine with virtuoso camerawork to make this one of the most memo-rable films of its era. – Film Society of Lincoln Center

“The plot is affecting, but it serves Paradjanov mainly as an armature to supportthe exhilarating rush of his lyrical camera movements (executed by master cine-matographer Yuri Ilyenko), his innovative use of nature and interiors, his deftjuggling of folklore and fancy in relation to pagan and Christian rituals, and hisastonishing handling of color and music.” – Jonathan Rosenbaum

Friday, September 7 – Thursday, September 20Exclusive Area Premiere!Director Joe Swanberg & Star Greta Gerwigwill be present 9/7 and 9/8!

HANNAH TAKES THE STAIRSFri, 9/7 at 7:00; 9/8 - 9/10, 9/13 - 9/16, 9/18 at 9:30pm; 9/11, 9/12, 9/17 & 9/20 at 10pm; No shows 9/19(2007) dir Joe Swanberg w/Greta Gerwig, Kent Osborne, Andrew Bujalski, RyRusso-Young, Mark Duplass, Todd Rohal, Tipper Newton [84 min]The much-touted new wave of indepen-dent filmmaking continues with thisoutstanding, intimate romanticcomedy. The alluring Greta Gerwigstars as the precocious Hannah, a freshcollege graduate who falls for one, andthen the other, of a pair of friends at aChicago company where she is intern-ing. HANNAH sports all of the hall-marks of the so-called “Mumblecore”movement: wry dialogue, improvisedperformances, a frank depiction ofmodern relationships and a wistful real-ism. Something of a romantic shaggy-dog story HANNAH is episodic, ram-bling and funny as it follows Hannah onher quest to end her ‘chronic dissatisfaction’ and find a boyfriend worthy of her.

Friday, September 14 – Thursday, September 20Area Premiere Reissue!Jean-Luc Godard’s

PIERROT LE FOUat 4:45, 7:00 (+ Sat & Sun at 2:15); Mon & Thu at 8:00pm; Wed at 4:45 only (1965) dir Jean-Luc Godard w/Jean-Paul Belmondo, Anna Karina, GraziellaGalvani [110 min]After abandoning his wife at a Parisian party, bored Ferdinand (Belmondo) fleeshis bourgeois existence with his babysitter and ex-lover, Marianne (Karina).Taking it on the lam to the south of France, the couple becomes an existentialBonnie and Clyde, battling gunrunners, gas station attendants, and Americantourists as they come face to face with their own roles as characters in a pop-cul-tural landscape. A profound turning point in Godard’s cinema, PIERROT LE FOUrecalls the gangster cool of Breathless and Band of Outsiders while also pointingtowards the increasingly essayistic, apocalyptic visions of Two or Three Things IKnow About Her and Weekend.

“Whimsical and melancholic, playful and heavy as a heart swollen with emo-tion.’” – Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

“Made in the middle of Godard's greatest period, it's a grand summation ofeverything he'd achieved since Breathless – collage structure, autonomoussound, interpolated set pieces – as well as his version of a location thriller. Shotin wide-screen and saturated primary colors, mainly in the south of France,Pierrot looks sensational… The movie itself radiates joy of cinema.” - J.Hoberman, The Village Voice

THE TENat 10:00 (+ 8:00 on Sun)(2007) dir David Wain w/Jessica Alba, Adam Brody, Bobby Carnavale, RobCorddry, Famke Janssen, Kerri Kenney, Ken Marino, A.D. Miles, Gretchen Mol,Oliver Platt, Paul Rudd, Winona Ryder, Liev Schreiber, and many more [93 min]Kieslowski’s Decalogue this ain’t. Ten vignettes, each inspired by one of the TenCommandments and rendered with the bad taste and immense humor that onlyformer members of MTV’s late, lamented “The State” and an all-star cast can pro-vide. Some of the highlights include Winona Ryder falling in love with a ventrilo-quist’s dummy, Liev Schreiber as a man who covets his neighbor’s CAT scanmachine, and Paul Rudd as our tasteless host.

Monday, October 1HOT FUZZat 2:45, 7:30(2007) dir Edgar Wright w/Simon Pegg, Nick Frost [121 min]The comedic masterminds behind SHAUN OF THE DEAD strike again with thisrelentlessly funny parody of/homage to American buddy cop movies. Wright, Peggand Frost bring us the story of Nicholas Angel, a London cop who is so good hemakes the rest of the force look bad. In retribution, he is transferred to a backwatertown with the lowest crime rate in the country. Paired with an absolutely witlesspartner, Angel soon uncovers a number of suspicious deaths and embarks on acrusade to uncover the dark secret behind the peaceful berg of Sandford.

SHAUN OF THE DEADat 5:15, 10:00(2004) dir Edgar Wright w/Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Kate Ashfield [99 min]Before HOT FUZZ, there was SHAUN, another loving genre parody. Shaun is analmost-thirty-year-old slacker with a dead-end job and a girlfriend who’s fed upwith his affection for his shiftless friend Ed and the local pub. However, when thedead begin to rise from their graves and zombies threaten to take over London,Shaun finds himself in his element and, with Ed at his side, sets off on a quest torescue his girl and his beloved mum.

Tuesday, October 2NIGHT WATCHat 2:45, 7:30(2004) dir Timur Bekmambetov w/Konstantin Khabensky, Mariya Proshina [114 min]

DAY WATCHat 5:00, 9:45(2006) dir Timur Bekmambetov w/Konstantin Khabensky, Mariya Proshina [132 min]This pair of Russian fantasy films uses over-the-top special effects and freneticaction scenes to tell the tale of the unseen magical cold-war that goes on underthe unsuspecting noses of the residents of modern-day Moscow. An uneasy trucehas existed for centuries between the forces of good and evil. The Night Watch isa sort of ad-hoc police force that keeps its eye on the evildoers (vampires, witchesand other nasties) while the Day Watch makes sure that the good guys don’t tipthe balance of power too far in their favor. When a once-in-a-lifetime chosen oneappears on both sides of the conflict, the action comes to a head in a conflict thatthreatens to destroy the balance and throw the entire world into chaos.

Wednesday, October 328 DAYS LATERat 3:00, 7:30(2002) dir Danny Boyle w/Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Brendan Gleeson [113 min]This visceral and brutal thriller helped usher in a new wave of exciting horrorfilms from Britain. A bike messenger named Jim (Murphy) wakes up in a Londonhospital and finds that a plague has rendered the city a wasteland. The onlyinhabitants left are a smattering of survivors and the hordes of vicious and infect-ed victims of the mysterious virus. Shot on video for added realism, the film’s firsthalf is a terrifying new spin on the zombie genre, and when Jim and his friendsfinally make their way to a military outpost, 28 DAYS LATER becomes an archcommentary on the idea that hell is, in fact, other people. The sight of Murphywalking through an utterly deserted London remains one of the most memorablescenes from the last decade.

28 WEEKS LATERat 5:30, 9:50(2007) dir Juan Carlos Fresnadillo w/Robert Carlyle, Rose Byrne [99 min]Seven months after the plague devastated the country, London has become a for-tified city and refugees begin their repatriation ushered in by the US army. A sur-vivor (Carlyle) is reunited with his two children in this fortified “green zone,” buthe carries a terrible secret and naturally, it will set off a disastrous chain of events.Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (Intacto) stays true to the spirit of the original bysticking to handheld cameras to document the infected’s rampages. Like its pre-decessor, 28 WEEKS LATER beautifully illustrates that the monsters in our worstnightmares are no match for the casual destruction brought on by human foibles.

SEVENTIES SHOOTER:A TRIBUTE TO LASZLO KOVACSAmerican cinema lost one of the definitive cinematographers of the second half ofthe 20th century this year. Laszlo Kovacs passed away in July after over 50 yearsof being on the cinematic cutting-edge. Kovacs arrived in America from his nativeHungary around 1956 after escaping the repressive Communist regime with30,000 feet of illicitly shot film and his friend, and fellow camera man, VilmosZsigmond. After working in various odd jobs on the East Coast, Kovacs undertooka cross-country bus trip from New Jersey to Seattle that famously inspired thenatural landscapes and lighting used in EASY RIDER. After working dozens of B-grade films (frequently for Roger Corman), Kovacs teamed up with Dennis Hopperfor that legendary road/head trip and forged his place in cinema history. His sub-sequent films include major collaborations with Peter Bogdanovich, Bob Rafelson,Robert Altman, Martin Scorses, and others – only a handful of which are repre-sented here. After the new wave of American cinema faded at the end of the 70s,Kovacs continued to work and left his mark on some of the definitive films of the80s as well, including Ghostbusters and Say Anything, but it was his place in thevanguard of American independent cinema that truly makes him a cinema icon.

RECENT RAVES Friday, September 21SUNSHINEat 7:30(2007) dir Danny Boyle w/Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, MichelleYeoh, Rose Byrne, Cliff Curtis, Hiroyuki Sanada, Benedict Wong,Troy Garity [108 min]Fifty years into the future our earth is frozen and the sun is slowlydying. The earth's last hope, a crew of eight, has been sent on theominously named Icarus II to reignite the sun. The second crew toattempt this mission, they are haunted by the unknown fates oftheir predecessors. As they approach their destination they areboth awestruck and terrified by the gravity of their mission and theutter brilliance of the sun. Director Danny Boyle has reinventedspace travel just as he reinvigorated the zombie film with his hit 28DAYS LATER. Completely embracing the exquisite abyss that hasenthralled science-fiction fans for years he also manages to dosomething completely new. Boyle brings a fresh, self-aware per-spective to the genre that is undeniably exciting.

PAPRIKAat 5:30, 9:45(2006) dir Satoshi Kon w/Megumi Hayashibara [90 min]Fasten your seatbelts for a phantasmogoric animated ride! Anerdy engineer invents the DC-mini, a device that enables accessto people's dreams, and it isn't long before some of the prototypesare stolen. When the DC-mini falls into the wrong hands, it's up toa prim psychotherapist and her sprightly alter-ego, the titularPAPRIKA, to find the culprit before the dream-state and reality irre-vocably collide! Satoshi Kon's films are smart and challenging andPAPRIKA's artistry and unexpectedly sweet emotional payoff makeit one of the most delightful films of 2007.

Saturday, September 22GRINDHOUSEat 1:00, 4:30, 8:00(2007) dirs Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino w/RoseMcGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Marley Shelton, Naveen Andrews,Josh Brolin, Jeff Fahey, Michael Parks, Kurt Russell, SydneyTamiia Poitier, Vanessa Ferlito, Jordan Ladd, Tracie Thoms,Rosario Dawson, Zoë Bell, Mary Elizabeth Winstead [191 min]When GRINDHOUSE failed to meet box office expectations uponits release this spring, it was dismissed as an overlong snoozefrom two self-indulgent filmmakers. It also happens to be one ofour favorite films of the year. Robert Rodriguez and QuentinTarantino’s big-budget homage to exploitation cinema is a gross,sleazy, smart and hilarious tribute to going to the movies for thesheer fun of it. Rodriguez’s PLANET TERROR casts RoseMacGowan as a plucky go-go dancer who must save the worldfrom a zombie apocalypse. In DEATH PROOF, Tarantino gives KurtRussell his best role in years as a psycho bent on offing a band ofgirlfriends with his souped-up Dodge Charger. Both feature-lengthmovies (Tarantino’s in particular) have a smart and fresh take onthe genre, and there’s even trailers for phoney upcoming films likeEli Roth’s holiday slasher Thanksgiving (“White meat! Dark meat!All will be carved!”) and Rob Zombie’s Werewolf Women Of TheS.S. Explosively entertaining.

Sunday, September 23MY BEST FRIENDat 3:30, 7:30(2006) dir Patrice Leconte w/Daniel Auteuil, Dany Boon, JulieGayet [94 min]François (Auteuil) is a successful antique dealer who is shocked tofind that those who he considers his close friends don’t actuallylike him.

Determined to win the bet, François enlists a friendlycabbie, Bruno, to pose as his friend and help him learn how to bea likeable person. This witty, erudite comedy is a wonderful filmfrom one of France’s leading filmmakers and one of its mostbeloved stars.

THE BOSS OF IT ALLat 5:30, 9:30(2006) dir Lars Von Trier w/Jens Albinus, Fridrik Thor Fridriksson,Peter Gantzler, Benedikt Erlingsson, Iben Hjejle [99 min]An entirely unexpected office comedy from Danish director Larsvon Trier, THE BOSS OF IT ALL marks von Trier's first Danish filmsince 1998's The Idiots. Ravn (Gantzler), the owner of an I.T. com-pany, attributes all of his company's executive decisions to a fic-tional “Boss Of It All.” Conveniently the fictional boss lives in theUnited States and communicates solely via e-mail. However, whena potential buyer demands to meet the company's boss he musthire Kristoffer (Albinus), an out-of-work actor to masquerade asthe loathed CEO. What follows is a hilarious comedy of errors asKristoffer is confronted with the chaos and confusion of meetingthe company's staff; all of whom have been given contrastinginformation about their fabled boss.

Monday, September 24BUGat 7:30(2007) dir William Friedkin w/Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon,Harry Connick Jr. [102 min]Legendary 70s director William Friedkin (The French Connection,The Excorcist) returns with this taught, claustrophobic thrilleradapted from the play by Tracy Letts. Ashley Judd and MichaelShannon (who originated the role on stage) give fearless perfor-mances as a damaged waitress and a paranoid Gulf War veteranholed up in an Oklahoma motel room who imagine themselvesunder siege by a swarm of bugs.

JOSHUAat 5:15, 9:45(2007) dir George Ratliff w/Sam Rockwell, Vera Farmiga, JacobKogan [105 min]George Ratliff’s (Hell House) narrative feature debut suffered froma truncated run in Boston this summer, but this thriller is not justanother creepy-little-kid movie, and deserves a second look.Joshua (Kogan) is an exceptionally gifted, albeit taciturn andmorbid 9-year old who lives in an immaculate Manhattan apart-ment with his parents. Joshua’s mother (Farmiga) slides into anincreasingly bleak and violent despair when Joshua’s newbornsister goes on an interminable crying jag. Is Farmiga sufferingfrom a seriously bad case of post-partum depression – or does ithave more to do with her offbeat son’s increasingly unusualbehavior? Ratliff does a superb job establishing a menacing, off-kilter tone as the family implodes, and Farmiga delivers a fearlessperformance as a young mother in the throes of a total nervousbreakdown, making JOSHUA an effective and disquieting exami-nation of the fears of parenthood.

Tuesday, September 2512:08 EAST OF BUCHARESTat 5:30, 7:30, 9:30(2006) dir Corneliu Porumboiu w/Mircea Andreescu, TeodorCorban, Ion Sapdaru [89 min]This wry, funny farce took the award for best first film at the 2006Cannes Film Festival. On the eve of the 16th anniversary of theRomanian Revolution, a pretentious, small-town TV host strains toproduce a show to commemorate the event but the only people hecan find to interview are an alcoholic history teacher and a lonelyretiree, who moonlights as Santa. As these two struggle to defendtheir self-professed positions as vanguards of the revolution, theTV producer sees his show disintegrating before his eyes.

Wednesday, September 26LADY CHATTERLEYat 5:15, 8:30(2006) dir Pascale Ferran w/Marina Hands, Jean-Louis Coullo'ch,Hippolyte Giradot [168 min]A keenly perceptive, frankly sensual adaptation of D.H. Lawrence'sclassic novel about the turbulent love affair between an aristocrat-ic woman and her husband’s gamekeeper.

Lonely and isolated in a rural environment that boresher, Lady Chatterley nonetheless finds her desire awakened by hertaciturn gamekeeper Oliver Parkin. LADY CHATTERLEY tells thestory of a passion that is both innocent and subversive – one thattranscends, without ever ignoring, class and social conventions.As Constance and Parkin nourish their mutual love, both enter intoa radical realm where nature, sex and romance merge into onepowerful experience.

COMEDY ONTHE ROAD

Friday, October 5 & Saturday, October 6The Wizard Of OzFri at 5:15, 7:30, 9:45; Sat at Noon (1939) dir Victor Fleming w/Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, JackHaley, Bert Lahr, Margaret Hamilton, Frank Morgan [101 min]A road movie of the imagination, THE WIZARD OF OZ tells theimmortal story of Dorothy and Toto’s trip ‘somewhere over therainbow’ to the magical land of Oz. Joined by the Scarecrow, theCowardly Lion and the Tin Man, Dorothy travels down the YellowBrick Road in search of a way home in this Technicolor dream of afilm.

Sunday, October 7It's A Mad Mad Mad MadWorldat 2:00, 5:00, 8:00(1963) dir Stanley Kramer w/Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle, SidCaesar, Buddy Hackett, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, DickShawn, Phil Silvers, Terry-Thomas, Jonathan Winters [161 min]Quite simply one of the most madcap of madcap comedies, MADWORLD pits teams of comedic geniuses against each other in asearch for hidden treasure… and the biggest laughs. When agroup of drivers stop to help an accident victim, they are incitedinto a riotous, cross-state race to find the $350,000 in stolen cashthat he describes to them. Caustic wit and slapstick comedy careenheadlong into each other and this cavalcade of comedy stars.

Monday, October 8It Happened One Nightat 3:15, 7:15(1934) dir Frank Capra w/Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert [105 min]A harbinger of the contemporary romantic comedy, IT HAPPENEDONE NIGHT is as hilarious now as it was when it won Best Picturein 1934. A spoiled, sheltered heiress (Colbert) flees her controllingfather and hits the road. It isn't long before she needs the help of adown-on-his luck reporter played by the roguishly charming ClarkGable. They immediately drive each other completely crazy, trad-ing barbs with a comedic chemistry that is rarely replicated. Infact, Colbert and Gable find each other so infuriating that theycan't help but fall madly in love. IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT is aromantic, hilarious, Hollywood classic that is not to be missed.

Love On The Runat 5:30, 9:30(1936) dir W.S. Van Dyke w/Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, FranchotTone [80 min]When IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT struck it rich at the box office,Hollywood churned out a number of imitators to capitalize on it,and LOVE ON THE RUN is one of the best. Gable is recast as areporter chasing an escaping heiress, but this time, instead ofColbert, we get Joan Crawford. Crawford is fleeing her weddingand Gable is more than happy to assist but the pair wind up beingchased by spies… and another reporter.

Tuesday, October 9Palm Beach Storyat 7:15(1942) dir Preston Sturges w/Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea,Mary Astor, Rudy Vallee [88 min]Preston Sturges was a comedic genius and this railway roadmovie is one of his best films. Nutty wife Colbert up and leavesher inventor husband and heads to Palm Beach by train to get adivorce with jilted hubby hot on her trail. Mistaken identity, aloopy millionaire, the meddling of the boisterous ‘Ale and QuailClub’ and an inexplicable pair of twins follow as well.

The Generalat 5:30, 9:15(1927) dirs Clyde Bruckman, Buster Keaton w/Buster Keaton,Marion Mack [75 min]Silent comedy legend Buster Keaton plays a love-sick train con-ductor during the Civil War. When his train is hijacked with hislady-love onboard Keaton must subvert the spies, rescue his loveand retrieve his train! The film soon erupts into a high-speed loco-motive chase as Keaton and his love rush to warn the confederatearmy about a union plot. Keaton, a skilled physical comedian, per-forms his own stunts and jumps along the top of the train withoutmissing a beat. A masterpiece of silent comedy THE GENERAL isthe great stone face at his delightful best.

Wednesday, October 10The Long Long Trailerat 8:00, 10:00(1954) dir Vincente Minnelli w/Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz [103 min]Ah, the Fifties, a time when a suburban starter home became theaspiration of millions… but what if you could get that suburbanhome on wheels!?! At least that’s the dream of one half of thenewlyweds at the center of this classic comedy. And, when LucilleBall and Desi Arnaz play the married couple, we’ll give you oneguess which half wants the mobile home. Outrageous comedicset-pieces follow as the couple tries to simultaneously live theopposing dreams of the Fifties: the call of the open road and thebliss of domestic partnership.

SEVENTIES SHOOTER:A TRIBUTE TO LASZLO KOVACS

Tuesday, October 16 & Wednesday, October 17Five Easy Piecesat 7:30(1970) dir Bob Rafelson w/Jack Nicholson, KarenBlack, Billy Green Bush, Susan Anspach, LoisSmith [96 min]

Nicholson’s tour-de-force performance as a talented pianist whodoesn’t want to be tied down includes one of his most infamousscenes, when he tries to get plain toast in a diner by ordering achicken salad sandwich and asking the waitress to hold the chick-en… between her knees. Classic Nicholson and a classic 70s roadmovie.

The King Of Marvin GardensTue at 5:15, 9:30; Wed at 5:15 only(1972) dir Bob Rafelson w/Jack Nicholson, BruceDern, Ellen Burstyn, Julia Anne Robinson, ScatmanCrothers; Cinematography by Laszlo Kovacs [103 min]Another of Bob Rafelson’s terrific tales of free-spiritspitted against a society that refuses to understand them. Theunderrated Bruce Dern stars as David, a wheeler-dealer who hasfallen on hard times while living on the Boardwalk at Atlantic City.He convinces his brother Jason (Nicholson), a radio talk showhost, to buy into a scheme to build a resort on a Pacific island butthe machinations of interpersonal relationships and David’s over-confidence doom it almost from the beginning. The startling andunexpected conclusion is worth the price of admission alone.

Sunday, October 21Paper Moonat 3:00, 7:15(1973) dir Peter Bogdanovich w/Ryan O'Neal, Tatum O'Neal,

Madeline Kahn, John Hillerman;Cinematography by Laszlo Kovacs[102 min]Mose, A Depression era ‘Bible sales-man’ finds himself the ward of Addie,a recently orphaned little girl whobecomes a willing participant in hisincreasingly illegal cons. PeterBogdanovich’s love of classic cinemais evident in every frame of this gor-geous, poignant black-and-white

comedy and Ryan O’Neal and real-life daughter Tatum turn inwonderfully charming performances as the oddball team ofswindlers. The third of Bogdanovich’s many collaborations withKovacs, this remains a highpoint for both.

What s Up Doc?at 5:15, 9:30(1972) dir Peter Bogdanovich w/Ryan O'Neal, Barbara Streisand,Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, Austin Pendleton, MichaelMurphy; Cinematography by Laszlo Kovacs [94 min]Peter Bogdanovich's hit screwball comedy pairs a free-spiritedBarbara Streisand with an uptight, bespeckled Ryan O'Neal. Atense musicologist (O'Neal) travels to San Francisco in order tocompete for a research grant. Unfortunately he has packed thesame plaid suitcase as three other people and chaos immediatelyensues as his igneous rocks are confused with government docu-ments and jewels. In the tradition of Howard Hawk's Bringing UpBaby, Streisand is desperately smitten with O'Neal only to bringutterly hilarious havoc to his life. Not to be missed by any fans ofscrewball comedies.

Monday, October 22Freebie and the Beanat 5:00, 7:30, 10:00(1974) dir Richard Rush w/Alan Arkin, James Caan, Loretta Swit,Jack Kruschen; Cinematography by Laszlo Kovacs [113 min]We’ll warn you, this movie is ruthlessly un-PC. It’s filled with bigot-ed, macho dialogue between its tough-as-nails cop protagonists…It is also extremely funny and a great entry into the annals of slap-stick action – a peculiarly 70s genre. James Caan and Alan Arkinare Freebie and Bean, two San Francisco cops hot on the trail ofthe crime boss, “Red” Meyers and they will let no car remainuncrashed in their single-minded pursuit. Caan handles thecomedic repartee with ease and Arkin is surprisingly good in a rolethat lets him be aggressive for once.

Tuesday, October 23Shampooat 5:15, 7:30, 9:45(1975) dir Hal Ashby w/Warren Beatty, Julie Christie, Lee Grant,Goldie Hawn [109 min]As with many films of the period, SHAMPOO is a remarkable con-fluence of talent not only with the great Kovacs on camera buthelmed by Hal Ashby (Harold & Maude) and written by RobertTowne (Chinatown), not to mention Beatty in his legendary, hilari-ous performance as a frantic hairdresser/Cassanova juggling girl-friends and clients (and girlfriends’ husbands). Few other 70s filmssimultaneously capture the poignant death of 60s idealisim, thejoy of excess and the anxiety and ennui that accompany both aswell as SHAMPOO.

Wednesday, October 24Easy Riderat 5:30, 7:30, 9:30(1969) dir Dennis Hopper w/Hopper, Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson[94 Min]Legendary cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs is largely credited(alongside friend and collaborator Vilmos Zsigmond) as havingcreated the ‘look’ of 70s film and nowhere is this more apparentthan in the muted colors and sunset landscapes of EASY RIDER.Though this psychedelic motorcycle movie about two countercul-ture outsiders driving cross-country “looking for America”spawned countless imitators, nothing can compare to the imageof lawyer George (Nicholson) riding on a motorcycle behindCaptain America (Fonda) while wearing a football helmet. EASYRIDER, won Hopper ‘Best New Director’ at Cannes and ushered ina new era in Hollywood cinema.

Thursday, October 25Close Encounters Of TheThird Kindat 8:00pm(1977) dir Steven Spielberg w/Richard Dreyfuss, Teri Garr,Francois Truffaut; Additional photography by Laszlo Kovacs [132min]It is telling that Kovacs, who helped to create independent-mindedstudio films at the dawn of the 70s, was also involved in this filmthat helped to destroy it. CLOSE ENCOUNTERS is a great film,there’s no denying, but its blockbuster status (paired with the suc-cess of Jaws) renewed the studio heads faith in big budget specta-cles at the expense of the more intimate character driven films thathad been the lifeblood of prior 70s filmmaking. Kovacs partneredwith his friend Vilmos Zsigmond on the photography forSpielberg’s fascinating, beautiful film about the appearance ofaliens in our midst – not for invasion but for inter-species learningand betterment.
