Hey there Everyone!

A couple of good choices this week, how do you choose between a Bollywood Musical and a documentary about the most famous porn film in history? Well, I think INSIDE DEEP THROAT will be opening at the Coolidge soon, so we’ve elected to head over to the Kendall Square Cinema for the Monday Night at the Movies. The film is Gurinder Chadha’s BRIDE & PREJUDICE, 7:30 p.m. screening. Come on, it’s a remake of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice done Bollywood style (and it co-stars that sexy Naveen Andrews from THE ENGLISH PATIENT)! How can you resist?

In a cross-cultural setting spanning present-day India, London and America, director/co-writer Gurinder Chadha (BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM) reinvents Jane Austen’s comic love story Bollywood-style’with a riot of color and emotion, music and dance. In a modest Indian village, Mrs. Bakshi (Nadira Babbar) sets out to find husbands for her four beautiful daughters. Headstrong Lalita (Aishwarya Rai) announces she will only marry for love, but when she meets a wealthy American from California (Martin Henderson), sparks begin to fly, frustrating her mother’s attempts to marry her off to a nice Indian boy. Naveen Andrews co-stars.

Director: Gurinder Chadha

Cast: Aishwarya Rai, Martin Henderson, Daniel Gillies, Naveen Andrews, Namrata Shirodkar, Indira Varma, Nadira Babbar, Anupam Kher, Meghna Kothari, Peeya Rai Chowdhary, Nitin Chandra Ganatra, Sonali Kulkarni

One film that I’m disappointed to have to miss next week is Hirozaku Koreeda’s DISTANCE, playing Wednesday and Friday at the Harvard Film Archive. I would go to the 9 p.m. show on Wednesday, but seeing as this incredibly dense and slow moving film runs over one hour and fourty minutes, I’m not sure I’d make it. And this is one that you need to be on your toes for. Now don’t let that frighten you off, it’s one intriguing film! Scot and I caught DISTANCE in Toronto in 2002, and despite an overwhelming feeling of frustration at it’s opaque narrative, we both decided ultimately that we really wanted to see it again. I was hoping this would be my chance, but it just doesn’t look like we’re going to make it. If anyone makes it, I’d love to hear what you think! And maybe now they’ll release it on DVD. And by the way, Saturday at the HFA, a early Koreeda film is playing entitled, WITHOUT MEMORY.

After a romantic weekend in CASABLANCA to celebrate Valentine’s Day, The Brattle Theatre is playing some nifty animated films. If anime if your thing, definitely check out one of Scot’s all-time favorites, GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES on Wednesday night, introduced by author Peter Carey. The Coolidge has got to get some new movies in the house, but if you missed Annette Bening in BEING JULIA, I recommend you catch it, even though she was squeezed out of the Best Actress Chlotrudis Award category.

Fans of Japanese film should check out the latest film by Takeshi Kitano (THE BLIND SWORDSMAN: ZAT’CHI) called DOLLS. Here’s another film that Scot caught in Toronto way back in 2002, and he was delighted by the intriguing premise. Part of each of a triptych of stories is told through elaborate marionettes, and the color design in this film is amazing. It plays over the weekend, and I’m disappointed that I’m going to miss this one too. I’m just too busy!

Fans of gritty crime novelist Dennis Lehane will NOT want to miss his intimate appearance at Gerry Peary’s BU Cinematheque! Get Mr. Lehane’s inside story of the making of MYSTIC RIVER for FREE on Friday (that’s tomorrow!) Check it out, he’s a very entertaining speaker!

See you at the movies!

BU CINEMATHEQUE RETURNS!
Friday, February 18: AN EVENING WITH DENNIS LEHANE.
640 Comm. Ave., Room B-05, 7 pm

Dennis Lehane, a native Bostonian, is one of the most talented, and deservedly acclaimed, crime and mystery novelists in the world, known above all for Mystic River, his amazingly spooky tale of three boys growing up in the violent world of Southie. Lehane will introduce a showing of the much-praised 1993 Clint Eastwood adaptation of his book, and offer the inside story on the making of this Sean Penn-Tim Robbins-Kevin Bacon-starring movie. Following the screening, Lehane will read from his book: a section of note which didn’t make it to the screen.

Thursday, February 24: AN EVENING WITH HIRAM MARTINEZ.
640 Comm.Ave., Room B-05, 7 pm.

Each year, the BU Cinematheque searches out one low-budget indie feature of excellence which can be a model and inspiration for university film production students. Hence, Four Dead Batteries, a complex, humane, and often hilarious story of the lives and screwed-up loves of a four-member New York improv comedy group. A prize-winner in 2004 at eight film festivals, Four Dead Batteries is written and directed by Hiram Martinez, a precociously talented 24-year-old college drop-out, who will speak at the BU screening. The official advertising tag-lines for this film: “From the guys who saw Rushmore and American Beauty.”

Boston Jewish Film Festival
The Boston Jewish Film Festival is pleased to offer screenings of three new films from Israel and Uruguay, with filmmakers appearing at each:

Sunday March 6, 1:30pm, with directors Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll present Thursday, March 10, 8:00pm, Sunday, March 13, 3:45pm Thursday, March 24, 6:00pm

A multiple prize-winner at Cannes, this droll tale from Uruguay concerns Jacobo, the graying Jewish owner of a Montevideo sock factory, and his manager Marta, who have barely communicated with each other in their daily routine over the years. After a twenty-year absence, Jacobo’s younger brother Herman announces that he is returning to Montevideo to attend the unveiling of their mother’s headstone (a Jewish tradition observed one year after a funeral). Anticipating this visit, Jacobo asks Marta to “help out at home” and pose as his spouse.

Preceded by the short film AS FOLLOWS, by Uruguayan director Federico Veiroj, the irreverent story of a boy’s Bar Mitzvah and the religious rituals and family traditions it entails.

Tickets: $9 general admission; $8 seniors, students, members of the MFA and Boston Jewish Film Festival. To purchase tickets in advance with a credit card, call 617.369.3306 or visit www.mfa.org/film. No phone orders for same-day screenings.

Charming, sexy, and comical, TURN LEFT AT THE END OF THE WORLD takes us back to 1969, when two Jewish immigrant families – one Indian, the other Moroccan – become unlikely neighbors in the middle of the Israeli desert. Each asserting its own identity, the families become involved in a culture war that touches on everything from laundry soap to cricket. Meanwhile, each family’s teenage daughter negotiates the landscape of the sexual revolution – as do older family members, who try to be discreet about their actions. In the process, Sara (Liraz Charhi) and Nicole (Garti Netta) break through their families’
resentments to forge a bond of friendship.’Presented with generous support from the Consulate General of Israel to New England.

Tickets: $15 general admission; $12 for seniors, students, members of the Coolidge Corner Theatre Foundation and Boston Jewish Film Festival.’To purchase tickets in advance with a credit card, visit http://www.coolidge.org and select Events

This screening of TURN LEFT AT THE END OF THE WORLD is generously supported by the Consulate General of Israel to New England.

Chlotrudis Society for Independent Film, President

Chlotrudis member Richard Alleman has two new book published by Broadway Books, a division of Random House, this month – New York: The Movie Lover’s Guide and Hollywood: The Movie Lover’s Guide. The books track over a hundred years of film history in America. In addition to the serious side of filmmaking, the books feature places where famous movie stars and moguls have lived, juicy scandals, and many locations where films were shot. The format of the books breaks up the respective cities – New York and Los Angeles – into distinct neighborhoods, tours of which a traveler or local film buff can easily work into a busy schedule. Manhattan chapters can be covered on foot but most of the other locations in and around New York require a car as do many of the chapters in the Hollywood book. Of course, one doesn’t really need to go to New York or LA. It’s fun just reading about everything from the rooftop studios in Manhattan where the first movies were made to the secret locations of classic and pop culture films shot on both coasts, not to mention looking at the archival and contemporary photographs Alleman has assembled to illustrate the text. Chlotrudis member Bruce Kingsley assisted Alleman in the research and writing of both volumes.

Both books can be found in the travel section of your favorite bookstore. They also appear on websites such as Amazon, TLA, Barnes & Noble, BookSense, and Walmart.

Hey there Everyone!

2004 was a great year for documentaries. Let’s see if 2005 can keep up the pace. The Brattle Theatre, known for playing strong documentary features, offers THE TAKE, a Canadian doc that focuses on Argentinian industry. Join us for at the Brattle Theatre for the 7:30 p.m. screening, Monday, February 7 for our Monday Night at the Movies, Avi Lewis’ THE TAKE. And if you’re itching to catch THE TAKE on Friday night, writer/producer Naomi Klein will be on hand at the 7:30 show!

This stirring new documentary focuses on Argentina’s radical new movement of occupied businesses: groups of workers who are claiming the country’s bankrupt workplaces and running them without bosses. Their call-to-arms: ‘Occupy! Resist! Produce!’ In suburban Buenos Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats and refuse to leave. All they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act ‘The Take ‘ has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head.

With THE TAKE, director Avi Lewis, one of Canada’s most outspoken journalists, and writer Naomi Klein, author of the international bestseller No Logo, champion a radical economic manifesto for the 21st century. But what shines through in the film is the simple drama of workers’ lives and their struggle: the demand for dignity and the searing injustice of dignity denied.

If you missed last week’s Monday Night at the Movies excursion to the Harvard Film Archive for Rodney Evans and his film, BROTHER TO BROTHER, it’s definitely worth a look. Especially if you go to the 7:20 p.m. screening either Friday or Saturday night, when writer/director Evans will be on hand to introduce the film and answer questions. Evans’ film is a poetic and powerful look at a young, black, contemporary artist struggling with issues of race and sexuality. What he finds is that the issues of the young artists who came to prominence during the Harlem Renaissance, like Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, were very similar to the ones he faces today. And if you say hello to Rodney, tell him the Chlotrudis Society sent you.

Fans of Japanese film should consider heading to the Harvard Film Archive this Friday or Saturday, as they continue their series of The Films of Hirokazu Koreeda. There are two of Koreeda’s films to chose from this weekend. His glorious and moving AFTER LIFE scored the #5 spot on the recent Chlotrudis Society’s Top 101 Foreign-Language Films. MABOROSI is an earlier film that examines grief in a somber, introspective and beautiful film. If you haven’t seen them, do check them out.

Finally, we won’t really be mourning, but we do want to acknowledge passing of the LAST (yes, you read that right, the last) art-house cinema in Boston. The Lowe’s Theatre Copley Square started showing independent and foreign films when the Loew’s Boston Common opened a few years ago. While there wasn’t much to recommend about the Copley Place Theatre, I did recently grow to appreciate the fact that it was a mere 10-minute walk from our apartment in the South End. I will also remember it fondly as the theatre where I saw I’VE HEARD THE MERMAIDS SINGING, introduced by Patricia Rozema herself, way back in 1987 during the Boston Film Festival. So au revoir, Copley Place Theatre… and Boston, you better start thinking indie!

See you at the movies!

BU CINEMATHEQUE RETURNS!
Thursday, February 10: AN EVENING WITH TOM NOONAN BU College of Communications,640 Comm.Ave., Room B-05 6:30 pm (NOTE EARLY STARTING TIME)

Tom Noonan is a New York-based actor-playwright-filmmaker who has supported his idiosyncratic personal projects by appearing in television series and disparate movies such as Heat, Last Action Hero, and Jim Jarmusch’s Mystery Train. His own movies — What Happened Was and The Wife — are intense, psychologically charged chamber dramas ripe with subtext. What Happened Was won Best Dramatic Film at the Sundance Film Festival. For his BU appearance, Noonan will conduct an informal actor workshop based on his work at New York’s Paradise Theatre, and he will show his 2004 feature, Wang Dang, many years in the making. Noonan describes this film as “an evening in the life of a visiting film professor as he entertains two co-eds at a seedy off-campus motel.”

Friday, February 18: AN EVENING WITH DENNIS LEHANE.
640 Comm. Ave., Room B-05, 7 pm

Hey there Everyone!

A change of venue marks this week’s Monday Night Movie of the Week as we head to the Harvard Film Archive for a very special event. Join us for a screening of a 2004 Sundance favorite, BROTHER TO BROTHER. Director Rodney Evans will be at this screening, co-presented with the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute of African and African American Research at Harvard University. Tickets are $10 and we will be in line by 6:30 because this could sell out.

Rich in heart and intelligence, Rodney Evans’ first fiction feature pays homage to art, intellectual ancestry, and the strength to persevere in the face of social injustice. Both an artistic and political achievement, BROTHER TO BROTHER offers a rare glimpse of what it means to be a black, gay artist today as well as during the Harlem Renaissance, and marks Evans as a brave and unique voice in American cinema. Perry Williams is a talented young artist working and studying in New York. Art world success is knocking at his door, but Perry is afraid of “selling out” to a privileged, white world. At the same time, community and family support is elusive as he endures homophobic barbs from his black classmates, rejection by his father, and a disappointingly fetishistic relationship with his handsome white lover. Then Perry meets Bruce Nugent, a living relic, who was a poet and painter of the Harlem Renaissance, along with Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Wallace Thurman. Surreal narrative turns land him in the middle of scandalous parties and dinners in 1930s Harlem, and Perry learns that his struggle is not new and what is most important is a strong self-image and a commitment to preserve truth and to nurture his artistic spirit.

Another film receiving general release this week is a Best Documentary Academy Award nominee, BORN INTO BROTHELS. I’ve heard raves about this film from new member Beth Caldwell, and it’s only playing for a week at the Kendall after it’s premiere as opening night at the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival at the MFA. Try to squeeze this amazing film where writers/directors Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman offer a portrait of several unforgettable children who live in the red light district of Calcutta, where their mothers work as prostitutes.

If you’re a fan of David Lynch (and come on, who isn’t?) here’s your chance to catch up on his body of work as the Brattle Theatre presents I Had a Dream About This Place: The Films of David Lynch. Friday night the series kicks off with a rare theatrical engagement of the challenging ERASERHEAD. Not for the easily disturbed, ERASERHEAD boasts some pretty indelible imagery that you’ll have trouble getting out of your head. And it’s got quite the sound design too! All the old favorites are there, including BLUE VELVET, DUNE, TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME and more. Need your dose of Lynch? Get to the Brattle Theatre.

See you at the movies!
