Jean-Marc Leblanc is a depressed civil servant fed up with his meaningless existence. Each new day presents the same tedious routine as the day before. To escape the crushing boredom that is his life, Jean-Marc turns to a fantasy world where he is the imaginary hero in an array of extraordinary adventures. In this dark comedy from one of Canada’s best directors, we see that sometimes fantasy is just as important as reality. WUD film web site

It would be a sin to reveal too much about this riveting and bizarre thriller from Korean director Chan Wook Park, except to say that it’s about a man named Dae-Su who is locked in a hotel room for 15 years without knowing his captor’s motives. When he is finally released, Dae Su finds himself still trapped in a web of conspiracy and strangeness. His own quest for vengeance becomes tied in with romance when he falls for an attractive sushi chef (Gang Hye-Jung), who feeds him live octopus and who may or may not be involved with the bizarre mystery. There are intense fight scenes (Dae Su’s favorite weapon is a hammer), look-away moments of torture and self-mutilation, sex, and gallons of black humor. Not for the squeamish, but for those seeking something wholly original and daring, this cinematic entree is alive—it’s hard to imagine a better slice of psycho-shock sensationalism. WUD film web site

with Ilona Ostrowska, Maciej Marczewski, Robert Więckiewicz | If you could re-live a certain portion of your life, what decisions would have made differently knowing what you know now? That is the question posed to Zosia in Juliusz Machulski’s How Much Does the Trojan Horse Weigh?, a woman who wakes up on New Year’s Day 2000 to find she has been transported back to Communist Poland 1987. In a touching and whimsical film, Machulski pokes fun at the political and technological differences between 1987 and 2000 that point to the tremendous disparity between life under and post Communism. trailer Wojna Polsko-Ruska Snow White and Russian Red

Poland | 2008 | 35mm | color | 89 min | in Polish with English subtitles Sat.21.Nov | 2009 | 7:30 pm
with Jadwiga Jankowska-Cieślak, Krzysztof Stroiński, Ewa Telega | In Michal Rosa’s tense political and psychological drama, the totalitarian Polish state has finally collapsed, but the old terrors persist. The 40-year marriage of Jan and Joanna (Jadwiga Jankowska-Cieślak and Stroiński), an academic couple in Kraków, is put in jeopardy when they discover among their anniversary gifts a videotape accusing Jan of being a former Polish secret policeman who wooed his wife all those years ago with an ulterior motive — the opportunity to spy on her dissident father. This scratch on the surface of their relationship soon festers. Like recent German Academy Award winner The Lives of Others, Rosa’s film examines the grave wounds inflicted by a heartless regime’s surveillance apparatus on its people — wounds that can’t heal in the midst of ongoing struggle between trust and doubt. trailer Handlarza Cudów The Miracle Seller

Focus on the Humanities: Distinguished Faculty Lectures Towards a History of Taste: American Film in the 1920s
Lea Jacobs, Professor of Film and Communication Arts, UW–Madison Wed.2.Dec | 2009 | 5:30 pm
Room L140, Chazen Museum of Arts | Madison | free
The Hollywood cinema is often said to have altered in the decade following World War I. Historians frequently characterize the period in terms of the development of new feminine stereotypes—the flapper epitomized by the stars Clara Bow and Colleen Moore—and of a new sexual permissiveness both reflected within films and, perhaps, reinforced by them. Others have explained the new representations of sexuality seen in the films with reference to the emergence of a culture of consumption. But these by now standard interpretations of the period do not account for the nature or full extent of the cinema’s transformation. The lecture describes a decisive shift in taste that was manifested in critical discourse, in filmmaking technique and narrative. It will contrast what came to be identified as sophisticated taste, films deemed on the edge of what censors or more conservative viewers would tolerate, with naïïve taste, films dismissed as cloying, overly melodramatic, or simply old fashioned.
Lea Jacobs is Professor in the Department of Communication Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she teaches film history and criticism. She is the author of The Decline of Sentiment: American Film in the 1920s (University of California Press, 2008), The Wages of Sin: Censorship and the Fallen Woman Film (University of Wisconsin Press, 1991) and, with Ben Brewster, Theatre to Cinema (Oxford University Press, 1997).

Billy the Kid
dir: Jennifer Venditti
USA | 2007 | DVD | 84 min Thu.3.Dec | 2009 | 7:30 pm
Frederic March Play Circle, Memorial Union, 800 Langdon St. | Madison | free
Jennifer Venditti’s debut film is a provocative coming-of-age story, an odyssey into the soul of an American teenager. Following Billy as he bicycles through the quiet streets of small town Maine, we watch him traverse the frustrating gap between imagination and reality, grappling with isolation and first-time young love. By turns exhilarating and disturbing, we see the world from the intimate view of an expressive and seemingly fearless outsider. WUD film web site
Caramel
dir: Nadine Labaki
France, Lebanon | 2007 | DVD | 99 min | in Arabic with English subtitles Thu.3.Dec | 2009 | 7 pm
Memorial Union | Madison | free Caramel was distributed in over 40 countries, easily becoming the most internationally acclaimed and exposed Lebanese film to date. Audiences around the world have embraced the simple but effective story of five Lebanese women tackling forbidden love, binding traditions, repressed sexuality, the struggle to accept the natural process of age, and duty vs. desire. Labaki’s film is unique for not showcasing a war-ravaged Beirut but rather a warm and inviting locale where people deal with universal issues.
A Little Magic: The Films of Vincente Minnelli Home From the Hill
dir: Vincente Minnelli
USA | 1960 | 35mm | color | 149 min Fri.4.Dec | 2009 | 7:30 pm
UW Cinematheque, 4070 Vilas Hall, 821 University Ave. | Madison | free
Over the course of a 30-year career, Vincente Minnelli (1903–1986) made 37 films. The Cinematheque’s nine-film retrospective covers it all, from the musicals to the melodramas, by way of one biopic. Minnelli is known for his distinctive visual style: his assured and innovative use of color, his fluid camerawork and his extraordinary attention to detail. The master of mise-en-scène flourished within the confines of the studio system at MGM, where he made 34 films (13 for the Freed Unit). His visual flair only grew as he took on the challenges of color and widescreen in the 1950s. In short, regardless of the genre, Minnelli’s films always sparkle with what he often called “a little magic.” with Robert Mitchum, Eleanor Parker, George Peppard | Minnelli followed Some Came Running with another Scope masterpiece, the full-blown melodrama Home from the Hill. While many other 1950s directors complained about shooting in the wider aspect ratio, Minnelli flourished in the new medium. Virtuoso camera movement, costuming and décor illuminate and critique the overbearing and philandering Texas Ranger Hunnicutt (Robert Mitchum’s strongest performance in years), as he struggles with his wife and two sons, legitimate and illegitimate.

Six Films (Directed) by Alain Resnais Art/History: Selected Documentary Shorts Fri.5.Dec | 2009 | 7:30 pm
UW Cinematheque, 4070 Vilas Hall, 821 University Ave. | Madison | free
For American audiences, Alain Resnais (1922–) is a canonical French auteur. But Resnais himself has categorically denied the label, and indeed was a somewhat reluctant director. He got his start as an editor for the influential French producer Pierre Braunberger and only took up direction under extreme pressure from the latter. Throughout his career, Resnais insisted on giving equal credit to his screenwriters, actors and crews, and always refused the credit, “A Film by Alain Resnais.” More than five decades of collaborative filmmaking have led to a remarkably diverse body of work, which the Cinematheque will showcase this winter with four programs of films (not entirely) by Alain Resnais. Guernica
dir: Alain Resnais and Robert Hessens
France | 1950 | 35mm | b/w | 13 min
Resnais and Hessens analyze and celebrate Picasso’s masterpiece. “The freedom that Resnais has allowed himself preserves the ambiguity, the polyvalence characteristic of all truly creative works, but also…is the best critic of the original.” — André Bazin. Les Statues Meurent Aussi
dir: Alain Resnais and Chris Marker
France | 1953 | 35mm | b/w | 30 min
Censored for 8 years in France because of its anti-Colonialist message, Les statues meurent aussi pointedly asks why African art resides in the anthropological Musée de l’Homme while Greek art resides in the Louvre. Night and Fog Nuit et Brouillard
dir: Alain Resnais
France | 1955 | 35mm | color and b/w | 30 min
Made at the 10th anniversary of the Liberation, Night and Fog alternates black-and-white archival imagery with poetic color footage of the ruins of Auschwitz and Maïdanek. Resnais’s first masterpiece raises questions of historical memory, human brutality, and ultimate culpability. Cinematheque web site

Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king of Halloween Town, is bored with doing the same thing every year for Halloween. One day he stumbles into Christmas Town, and is so taken with the idea of Christmas that he tries to get the resident bats, ghouls, and goblins of Halloween Town to help him put on Christmas instead of Halloween — but alas, they can’t get it quite right.

Turtles Can Fly

Memorial Union | Madison | free
From acclaimed director Bahman Ghobadi (A Time for Drunken Horses) comes the first film shot in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein. Heart-wrenching as well as spirit-raising (The Hollywood Reporter), Turtles Can Fly mixes humor and tragedy to startling effect, resulting in a very timely masterpiece (TV Guide) about children struggling to survive in an endless war zone. On the Iraqi-Turkish border, enterprising 13-year-old Satellite (Soran Ebrahim) is the de facto leader of a Kurdish village, thanks to his ability to install satellite dishes and translate news of the pending U.S. invasion. Organizing fellow orphans into landmine-collection teams so that they can eke out a living, he is all business until the arrival of a clairvoyant boy and his quiet, beautiful sister.

Perhaps the canonical example of art cinema narration, Resnais’s film is also, according to Roger Ebert, either “silly or profound,” but without a doubt “voluptuous,” “hypnotic” and brimming with “austere visual beauty.” trailer | Cinematheque web site

Alicia Ashman Library, 733 N. High Point Rd. | Madison | free Register online or call 824-1780 to save a seat. | Two teenagers, both newcomers to London, forge an unlikely friendship over the course of a hot summer. Tomo is a runaway from Nottingham; Marek, a Polish immigrant, lives in the district of Somers Town, between King’s Cross and Euston stations, where his dad is working on a new rail link. When Marek agrees to let homeless Tomo move into his room, unbeknownst to his father, the pair forms a strong bond, as they work odd jobs for an eccentric neighbor and compete for the attention of Maria, a beautiful young French waitress. “There have been very few more moving films from any director since Meadows’ own Dead Man’s Shoes — though in this instance it’s very much a case of joyful rather than sorrowful tears. This is a delightful, quietly topical, deceptively slight miniature about teenage friendship and first love — scarcely new subjects for cinema, but handled with sufficient sensitivity, humour and spirit to emphatically justify such a choice of material. Meadows and his scriptwriter Paul Fraser, meanwhile, deserve particular credit for so deftly maintaining such a delicate balance between the bouncily engaging story and its sad, even tragic subtexts.” — Neil Young, jigsawlounge.co.uk. 2008 Berlin, Karlovy Vary, Tribeca, Helsinki festivals. film site | Ashman Branch Library events site

It might sound dry, but in fact, Mon Oncle d’Amérique is more properly described as a gentle comedy, one that Vincent Canby called “immensely good-humored and witty.” Winner of the 1980 Grand Prize of the Jury at Cannes (with a unanimous vote, to boot). trailer | Cinematheque web site

Alicia Ashman Library, 733 N. High Point Rd. | Madison | free Register online or call 824-1780 to save a seat. | An understated comic vision runs through this story set in a dusty Mexican town. It’s the tiny things that people say and do, the pauses between sentences, the timing of reactions, that make this film so satisfying. Juan has crashed this family’s car into a pole just outside of town, and is on the hunt for a repairman. It’s sort of a mini-road trip, as his quest keeps him on the move as he tries to get the right parts. He meets Don Heber, an old paranoid mechanic whose only companion is Sica, his beloved boxer dog. Lucía is a teenage mother who works at an auto parts shop and wants to be lead singer in a punk band. And then there’s the teenage mechanic obsessed with martial arts and Kung Fu philosophy. The absurd and bewildering worlds of these characters drag Juan into a one-day journey in which he will come to accept what he was escaping from in the first place. Starring Diego Cataño, who was also in Eimbcke’s perfect and witty debut feature, Duck Season. 2008 Berlin, San Sebastian, Karlovy Vary, Helsinki, and Tokyo film festivals.
