TORONTO TRUE CRIME FESTIVAL ON SCREEN JUNE 14-15

The Revue is delighted to be the exclusive venue for this year’s edition of the Toronto True Crime Film Festival, a 2-day festival dedicated to true crime on the big screen and beyond. This year’s lineup includes four feature films, seven short films, and three live events. By choosing to not glamorize murderers or violent crimes for their own sake, the festival focuses mainly on victims rights and the fallout of crime that affects society on a grander scale.

JUNE VOLUME 8 ISSUE 6

On June 28, 2009, I was pacing up and down the aisles of the Revue’s auditorium, about to present my first silent film screening in the recently re-opened not-for-profit cinema. While the cinema’s management and board of directors were fully behind the project — that day’s film was Buster Keaton’s College, with live piano by Bill O’Meara — I was worried that the attendees would consist of only myself and four friends whose arms I twisted into attending. Stepping outside to see if anyone had lined up, (something I still nervously do today as Programming Director), I was shocked to see a long lineup veering around the corner onto Howard Park Ave. The cinema soon filled up, and The Revue’s first monthly film series was off to a roaring start. Under the ever-watchful and dedicated curation of Alicia Fletcher, who took over in 2013, elevating the calibre of programming year after year, Silent Revue has screened nearly seventy-five silent films ranging from early Lumiere street-scapes, Winsor McKay animations, Chaplin classics, Ozu masterpieces, the works of Lois Weber, brand-new archival restorations from 20th Century Fox, among countless others. Off-screen, the series has featured dozens of local and international musical accompanists, and along the way, fostered a strong and vibrant silent

TEN YEARS OF SILENT FILMS AT THE REVUE

film community that thrives to this day. On June 22, Silent Revue celebrates this milestone with a gala screening of Metropolis (1927), with live orchestral accompaniment by Ugly Beauties. The trio, led by frequent Silent Revue collaborator Marilyn Lerner, brought down the house last fall with their fantastic score to Murnau’s Sunrise, and we cannot wait to hear their interpretation of Fritz Lang’s masterpiece. “As gleamingly modern as it is vested in the ancient and medieval,” notes Alicia Fletcher in the event’s programme notes, “Metropolis launched the science fiction epic and popularized genre mash-up, as Shelley’s “Frankenstein” had done for literature the century prior. Metropolis is the pinnacle of Weimar filmmaking, as well as, somewhat ironically, its downfall. While it may have marked the end of an era, Silent Revue’s tenth anniversary screening proves that the silent era is very much alive.” We invite you to join us on June 22, a gala evening which would not be possible without the generous support of Bill Mohan (Sutton Realty), Hollywood Suite, Meridian Credit Union, and every one of you who have supported Silent Revue over the last ten years.

WE REALLY LIKE HERTHELMA AND LOUISEUSA 1994 / 129 minutes RDirected by Ridley ScottStarring Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon and Harvey KeitelIt’s the one-year anniversary or We Really Like Her! and we are celebrating by driving off into the summer sunset with our favourite outlaws/best friends, Thelma and Louise. Seriously though, this 1991 drama may be remembered for its much-parodied ending, but it was chillingly prescient, frankly confronting the ways in which toxic masculinity encourages violence (sexual and otherwise) against women and the silencing of victims. Powered by remarkable performances by Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon and an Oscar-winning script by Callie Khouri, Thelma & Louise is a timeless film that will never run out of gas. - EMILY GAGNE & DANITA STEINBERGSpecial Event: Admission $14 General; $11 Student, Seniors, Bronze Members; $10 Silver Members.

EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN: LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERYShe will forever be identified with Prince Edward Island, thanks to her orphan heroine, Anne Shirley. But in fact, Lucy Maud Montgomery spent far more time in Ontario. In 1935, she moved with her then-retired minister husband from Norval, near Georgetown, to Riverside Drive in Swansea, where she lived the last years of her life. She died in 1942, deeply depressed. Much of Montgomery’s life was anything but happy,

a sad contrast to the spirit of joy and optimism of her novels. Helping us to learn more about the author of Anne of Green Gables is Mary Rubio, who wrote the comprehensive biography Lucy Maud Montgomery: The Gift of Wings. We will also be screening a short film from the Extraordinary Canadians series, with author Jane Urquhart exploring Montgomery’s life. - ELLEN MOORHOUSERevue Rental. Admission $10 on eventbrite.

MERIDIAN CREDIT UNION - FREE SCREENINGPOLTERGEISTUSA 1982 / 120min. 14ADirected by Tobe HooperStarring Craig T. Nelson, Jo Beth Williams, Heather O’RourkeWith Poltergeist, directed by Tobe Hooper, Steven Spielberg had his first great success as a producer. Released around the same time as Spielberg’s E.T., the film presents the dark side of Spielberg’s California suburban track homes. The film centers on the Freeling family, a typical middle class family living in the peaceful Cuesta Verde Estates. The father, Steve, has fallen asleep in front of the television, and the dog saunters around the house revealing the other family members -- Steve’s wife Diane, sixteen-year-old daughter Dana, eight-year-old son Robbie, and five-year-old Carol Ann. Soon strange things begin to happen around the house; the pet canary dies, mysterious storms occur, and Carol Ann is summoned to the TV set, where a strange shaft of green light hits her and causes the room to shake (“They’re he-e-ere!”). As curious events continue, Carol Ann is repeatedly drawn to the television, where she begins to talk to “the TV people.” Soon Carol Ann is sucked into a closet, disappearing from this reality plane. Unable to find his daughter, Steve consults Dr. Lesh, a para-psychologist from a nearby college. Lesh finds that paranormal phenomena is so strong in the Freelong household she is unable to deal with it and sends for clairvoyant and professional exorcist Tangina to examine the house in hopes of finding Carol Ann. Tangina makes a horrifying discovery: Carol Ann is alive and in the house, but is being held on another spectral plane. Revue Rental: Admission is free. This screening is part of a new free film series presented by Meridian Credit Union’s Roncesvalles Branch. The film’s themes focus on life events that impact your financial wellbeing.

The greatest Marx Brothers movie of all time? You give up? It’s probably Duck Soup, the fourth film by The Marx Brothers. Panned upon its release, the bristling satire finally got some well-deserved respect in the 1960s when it was discovered by the anti-war crowd. It stills works today. Trust us. Following the film, we will present a Super 8 digest of an earlier Marx Bros. film, Monkey Business (1931). This digest, released to the home movie market before the advent of VCRs, is a condensed version of the feature. - ERIC VEILLETTEProgramme introduced by Toronto’s favourite son, Will Sloan.Special Event: Admission $14 General; $11 Student, Seniors, Bronze Members; $10 Silver Members.

Uncompromising. Where Does a Body End? is a intimate portrait of the band SWANS and its leader Michael Gira, from their roots as a brutal, confrontational post-punk band that emerged from the same early 1980s era NYC that gave us Sonic Youth (and, somehow, Madonna) through their ill-fated bid at mainstream success in the 90s indie-rock gold-rush, through breakups and chaos (on and offstage) to their odds-defying current status as one of the most accomplished and ambitious bands in the world, one whose concerts are more like ecstatic rituals than nostalgic trips back through their most popular songs.Revue Rental: Admission $12.00.

RED JOANUK 2019 / 110min. PGDirected by Trevor NunnStarring Judi Dench, Sophie Cookson, Tom HughesIn a picturesque village in England, Joan Stanley (Academy Award (R) winner Dame Judi Dench), lives in contented retirement. Then suddenly her tranquil existence is shattered as she’s shockingly arrested by MI5. For Joan has been hiding an incredible past; she is one of the most influential spies in living history... Cambridge University in the 1930s, and the young Joan (Sophie Cookson), a demure physics student, falls intensely in love with a seductively attractive Russian saboteur, Leo. Through him, she begins to see that the world is on a knife-edge and perhaps must be saved from itself in the race to military supremacy. Post-war and now working at a top secret nuclear research facility, Joan is confronted with the impossible: Would you betray your country and your loved ones, if it meant saving them? What price would you pay for peace? Inspired by an extraordinary true story, Red Joan is the taut and emotional discovery of one woman’s sacrifice in the face of incredible circumstances. A woman to whom we perhaps all owe our freedom.

After spending a tense beach day with their friends, the Tylers (Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Cali Sheldon, Noelle Sheldon), Adelaide and her family return to their vacation home. When darkness falls, the Wilsons discover the silhouette of four figures holding hands as they stand in the driveway. Us pits an endearing American family against a terrifying and uncanny opponent: doppelgängers of themselves. “Us is an uncanny movie,” writes The New Republic’s Josephine Livingstone, “and an implicit riposte to the questions Peele himself asked in Get Out. What if there’s no easy ending? What if the real struggle takes place within?”

SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 9:30PMMOPE (CLOSING FILM)In the world of pornography, the term “mope” refers to a low-level, wannabe porn actor who perhaps isn’t quite well endowed or otherwise attractive enough to achieve the success granted to “bigger”-name porn stars. Stephen Clancy Hill and Herbert Wong, respectively known by their porn alter egos Steve Driver and Tom Dong, were two such mopes—real-life best friends attempting to live the impossible porno dream, but the blurred line between reality and delusion ultimately sent them both tumbling down a path of destruction.
