An Ozu/people Ozu has influenced series starts at Lincoln Center tomorrow. An Autumn Afternoon- Yasujiro Ozu Wednesday, December 04 7:00pm Thursday, December 05 1:00pm Friday, December 06 5:00pm Saturday, December 07 4:00pm Tuesday, December 10 2:30pm Wednesday, December 11 6:00pm Thursday, December 12 8:30pm Equinox Flower - Yasujiro Ozu Wednesday, December 04 2:00pm Thursday, December 05 3:30pm Friday, December 06 2:30pm Sunday, December 08 6:45pm Tuesday, December 10 7:15pm Wednesday, December 11 1:45pm Thursday, December 12 4:00pm 35 Shots of Rum - Claire Denis Claire Denis’s gloriously delicate and graceful film begins in the territory of Renoir’s La Bête humaine and gradually develops into an unlikely and enchanted evocation of Ozu’s Late Spring. Saturday, December 07 1:45pm Tuesday, December 10 5:00pm Café Lumiere- Hou Hsiao-Hsien Commissioned to mark Ozu’s centenary year, Hou Hsiao-hsien’s quietly breathtaking city symphony updates the Japanese master’s recurring concerns: the family in decline, the clash between tradition and modernity. Wednesday, December 04 4:30pm Friday, December 06 7:30pm In Vanda’s Room - Pedro Costa With the intimate feel of a documentary and the texture of a Vermeer painting, this second feature in Pedro Costa’s groundbreaking Fontainhas trilogy takes an unflinching look at a handful of self-destructive, marginalized people. Sunday, December 08 3:15pm The Match Factory Girl - Aki Kaurismaki Aki Kaurismaki lays bare the deadened existence of his wallflower heroine in this poker-faced black comedy about a young woman’s exploitation and revenge, pared to 70 minutes of perfection. Tuesday, December 10 9:45pm Wednesday, December 11 4:15pm Still Walking - Hirokazu Kore-eda Unfolding largely over the course of a daylong gathering of a family still mourning the loss of its eldest son, Hirokazu Kore-eda’s fine-tuned elegy is full of personalizing details and the sense memories of childhood. Wednesday, December 11 8:30pm Thursday, December 12 1:30pm Stranger Than Paradise - Jim Jarmusch A pair of deadbeat hipsters and a teenage immigrant elevate hanging-out to one of the fine arts in what Jarmusch calls “a neo-realistic black comedy in the style of an imaginary Eastern European director obsessed with Ozu and The Honeymooners.” Thursday, December 12 6:30pm Tokyo-Ga - Wim Wenders Wim Wenders travels to Japan—his impressions of the country had been formed entirely by the cinema—to pay homage to Ozu, whose films he considers "sacred treasures." Wednesday, December 04 9:30pm

UPDATE: SOLD OUT Have you seen The Thief and the Cobbler? AKA The Princess and the Cobbler? AKA Arabian Knights? Do you remember when what's-his-name was posting all about it some years back, trying to restore it and selling DVDs of it? If you don't, here's the low-down. It's a sad story: It's an animated movie created by famed animator Richard Williams. It has the unfortunate distinction to be one of the longest productions in cinema history. It was started in 1968, financed by Williams himself. He had a vision to make a stunningly beautiful unparalleled animation where the two protagonists never speak and the antagonist was voiced by Vincent Price. After working on it for 15 years due to his intense perfectionism, he led the animation for Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which was such a huge hit that he was able to secure further financing to finish The Thief And The Cobbler. After another 15 years or so the financiers became understandably impatient and took the production away from him and sold it to Disney, who haphazardly finished the movie and made it more "marketable" by adding several songs and near constant internal dialog with celebrity voices for the two protagonists. It's obvious which parts are William's and which are Disney, it's night and day in terms of quality. But then they sat on it for a few years before releasing it. Why? Because first they wanted to release their own new movie, Aladdin. Why would that matter? Because The Thief And The Cobbler, which began its production journey in 1968, is about a young poor boy in an ancient Arabian kingdom who meets and rescues the princess from the clutches of of the nefarious royal Vizier (who looks like a large blue man), a man who the Maharajah wrongfully puts his trust in, that wants to take the throne for himself, but is ultimately thwarted by the young street rat. The movie was then dumped in to theaters a couple years later with poor reviews. One of the coolest movie things I own is that DVD that What's-his-name from the forums here made a while back, a version of the movie he put together using advice from Williams, rough sketches, storyboards, original music, etc. He was independently selling DVD copies and I bought one of them. Now for the first time ever Williams has put together his original workprint and will be showing it publicly for the first time I'm totally going. http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=htt...tml&h=mAQEARk9m

Marx Brothers double feature! New Years Day at 5:00 at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica. They've been showing Marx Bros. movies on New Years Day for some years now, this'll be the third year in a row that I go. I think this will be a great screening for the Marx Bros. uninitiated; They're playing A Night At The Opera, which is the one most critics and film historians say is the best, and A Day At The Races, which I say is the best. $11 for both movies. http://www.americancinemathequecalendar.com/content/a-night-at-the-opera-a-day-at-the-races

Film Society of Lincoln Center is doing a "For Your Consideration" series on Oscar Hopeful Documentaries. So if you missed something and want to check it out, here's your shot: 20 Feet From Stardom Morgan Neville | 2013 | 91 mins Backup singers live in a world that lies just beyond the spotlight. Their voices bring harmony to the biggest bands in popular music, but we've had no idea these singers are or what lives they lead, until now. Tuesday, December 24 9:00pm The Act of Killing Joshua Oppenheimer | 2013 | 115 mins What is one to make of men who freely admit their involvement in the mass killing of millions of Indonesians in a bloody anti-Communist campaign in the 1960s? The Act of Killing bypasses the usual documentary tropes of exposing injustice, instead provoking the viewer to consider the murderers’ sense of responsibility for their crimes. Saturday, December 21 6:20pm Thursday, December 26 1:30pm The Armstrong Lie Alex Gibney | 2013 | 124 mins The Armstrong Lie presents a riveting, insider's view of the unraveling of one of the most extraordinary stories in the history of sports. As Lance Armstrong says himself, “I didn’t live a lot of lies, but I lived one big one.” Friday, December 20 9:15pm Thursday, December 26 4:00pm Blackfish Gabriela Cowperthwaite | 2013 | 83 mins Blackfish tells the story of Tilikum, a performing killer whale that killed several people while in captivity, exploring the creature’s extraordinary nature and the species’ cruel treatment in captivity. Tuesday, December 24 5:00pm Wednesday, December 25 4:00pm The Crash Reel Lucy Walker | 2013 | 109 mins This eye-popping, yet intimate, story of U.S. champion snowboarder Kevin Pearce uses years of vérité footage to expose the potentially high price of participating in extreme-action sports. Friday, December 20 12:20pm Thursday, December 26 8:30pm Cutie and the Boxer Zachary Heinzerling | 2013 | 82 mins This candid New York documentary explores the chaotic 40-year marriage of renowned “boxing” painter Ushio Shinohara and his artist wife Noriko. Spanning four decades, the film is a moving portrait of a couple wrestling with the eternal themes of sacrifice, disappointment and aging, against a background of lives dedicated to art. Sunday, December 22 2:00pm Tuesday, December 24 7:00pm Dirty Wars Rick Rowley | 2013 | 87 mins Investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill traces the rise of the Joint Special Operations Command, the most secret fighting force in U.S. history, exposing operations carried out by men who do not exist on paper and will never appear before Congress. Dirty Wars is a battle cry for the soul and conscience of an America few of us know exists. Saturday, December 21 2:00pm Thursday, December 26 6:30pm First Cousin Once Removed Alan Berliner | 2013 | 78 mins Director Alan Berliner in person for Q&A on December 22! Alan Berliner creates a compelling, heartfelt chronicle of poet and translator Edwin Honig’s loss of memory, language and his past due to the onslaught of Alzheimer’s. Sunday, December 22 6:30pm Wednesday, December 25 8:30pm God Loves Uganda Roger Ross Williams | 2013 | 83 mins Director Roger Ross Williams in person for Q&A on December 20! Using vérité, interviews, and hidden camera footage, the film allows American religious leaders and their young missionaries that make up the “front lines in a battle for billions of souls” to explain their positions in their own words. Shocking and enlightening, touching and horrifying, God Loves Uganda will leave you questioning just how closely this brand of Christianity resembles the one you think you know. Friday, December 20 7:00pm Saturday, December 21 4:00pm Life According To Sam Sean Fine | Andrea Nix FIne | 2013 | 90 mins In 1998, Dr. Leslie Gordon and Dr. Scott Berns learned that their two-year-old son, Sam, had a progressive aging disorder so rare that fewer than 250 children in the world had it at the time. Told there was no cure, they refused to accept that as the final verdict. Monday, December 23 4:00pm Wednesday, December 25 2:00pm Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer Mike Lerner | Maxim Pozdorovkin | 2013 | 88 mins Director Max Pozdorovkin and producer Mike Lerner in person for Q&A on December 21!

Monday, December 23 6:30pm Which Way is the Front Line from Here? Sebastian Junger | 2013 | 78 mins Filmmaker Sebastian Junger traces the late photographer Tim Hetherington’s work across the world’s battlefields to reveal how he transcended the boundaries of image-making to become a luminary in his profession.

I don't think they've started yet, the only showing I know of in NYC was a one-off at BAM that was before Venice as part of a larger Friedkin retro and it wasn't the restoration.

Lets not forget to PUT THE CITY OF THE THEATER that you're mentioning in your post, I'm sure the FSLC, the IFC Center and the Anthology Film Archives are fantastic venues, but it is incredibly frustrating seeing a movie you want to see mentioned only to have your hopes of seeing it crushed because the screening is in a different state/country. That being said, Abel Fererra's Ms. 45 is being screened at the Music Box theater in Chicago on the 27th and 28th. http://www.musicboxtheatre.com/midnight

Boston Come and see King Kong the classic 1933 film at the Coolidge Corner Theater on January 27th. Before the film a Gorilla expert is going to give a brief talk. buy tickets now, because it's an event free to members of the theater, and they always snatch up their free tickets so it sells out fast.

ruddiger posted:Trepany House at the Steve Allen Theater in Los Angeles are going to be screening The Shining forward and backwards simultaneously on the 8th, with sound from both projections running at the same time as well. Sounds pretty loving weird but cool! I've seen this done once before, although they only used the sound from the forward version. It was done in conjunction with a screening of Room 237, which discusses the "Front to Back" screenings. If you want a sense of some of the fascinating juxtapositions it creates, you can watch that or do some Googling. It's a fascinating way to watch the movie - for instance, the peaceful opening being overlaid with the violent climax gives you a deep sense of unease and foreboding, as though you're seeing the future being laid out. It's more of an experiment than a great way to watch the film, but it's a surprisingly effective experiment to check out.
