JEAN RENOIR IN COLOR!
August 9 – September 1 (4 films)
T
he new art house hit Renoir has sparked renewed interest not only
in French Impressionist painter Pierre-August Renoir but also in
his son, master filmmaker Jean Renoir. Jean is well known for such
1930s b&w classics as Grand Illusion and Rules of the Game. But
in the 1950s he started working in color, and in this short series we
present four of his greatest color works, one of which pays explicit
tribute to his father and the impressionist era.

CLEVELAND CULTURAL GARDENS
FILM FEST
July 5 – August 30 (10 films)
T
he Cleveland Cultural Gardens, which flank Martin Luther King Blvd.
(and part of East Blvd.) in Rockefeller Park between East 105th St. and
I-90, comprise one of the city’s unique attractions. The Cultural Gardens
are approximately 30 landscaped public plots of land that commemorate
the various ethnic and nationality groups that have settled Cleveland—
and America for that matter. Since the Cultural Gardens constitute one of
the gateways to University Circle, with many passing them on their way to
and from our movies, we thought it would be appropriate (and neighborly)
to pay tribute this often overlooked regional asset. So we have assembled
a nine-week film series consisting of ten features representing some
of the nations and ethnic groups with gardens in the park. Most of the
ten movies are recent or older classics, but two are new to Cleveland,
including Federico Fellini’s ultra-rare final film The Voice of the Moon
starring Roberto Benigni. All of these films speak well for the cultures and
individuals that created them; they have enriched cinema history.
On Sunday, August 25, the first Cleveland One World Festival will take
place in the Cultural Gardens. Founded by James Levin, this all-day outdoor
event will feature a smorgasbord of authentic ethnic foods and beverages,
music, and performances. Visit ClevelandOneWorldFestival.com for details.

The George Gund Foundation has endowed the Cinematheque with a
$100,000 gift in memory of Cinematheque co-founder George Gund III,
who died in January. We are very grateful and look forward to keeping
George’s love of film alive through the movies that this money will let us
show each year.
A SECOND LOOK
THE GOLDEN COACH
French filmmaker Abdellatif Kechiche, whose new film won the Palme
d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, is unknown to most American
moviegoers—but not to those who frequent the Cinematheque. His
Cannes triumph, entitled Blue Is the Warmest Color, is his fifth feature.
Two of the previous four were never distributed in the U.S. But two were,
and those two (Games of Love and Chance from 2003 and The Secret
of the Grain from 2007) both played exclusively in Cleveland at the Cinematheque. Our amazing streak of introducing major international filmmakers to northeast Ohio continues!

A
BY JOHN EWING, CINEMATHEQUE DIRECTOR
ummer has long been a time of experimentation for the
Cinematheque—not so much in what we show, but in where we
show it. Past summers have found us screening 16mm silent films
(by Charlie Chaplin, Stan Brakhage, et al.) in the Cleveland Institute
of Art’s outdoor courtyard. One summer we ran a “second screen”—a
full Friday-Saturday schedule of 16mm films in the Institute’s 100-seat
Ohio Bell Auditorium (while different movies unspooled from 35mm in
Aitken Auditorium). In 2004 we converted the Ohio Bell Auditorium into
the “DV Den” (DV for Digital Video) and showed movies from DVD to
viewers who sat on a motley assortment of second-hand couches and
lounge chairs.
Other summers have seen us showing movies offsite in Norwalk,
Ohio; at the Cedar Lee Theatre; and downtown at the Palace Theatre
in Playhouse Square. In 2004 we also organized our first (and only)
“CinemaTrek”—chartering a bus to Columbus to see Jacques Tati’s
Playtime in 70mm at the Wexner Center.
This summer we’re once again doing something we’ve never done
before. We’re showing a few movies in the Mandel Screening Room, a
year-old space inside CIA’s Joseph McCullough Center at 11610 Euclid
Avenue. This is on the northern edge of the new Uptown development,
where the Cinematheque will move in two years. (We’re getting a new
auditorium in a new CIA building that will adjoin the McCullough Center.)
So these Mandel Screening Room showings are in essence our first
shows at our future home—a preview of coming attractions.
Well, yes and no. Though the Cinematheque will move Uptown in
2015, we probably won’t continue to use the Mandel Screening Room
when our new theatre is finished. The Mandel Screening Room was
designed as an instructional space, and is heavily booked during the
academic year. But in July and August we are able to screen some
movies there. We will focus on new movies that exist only in digital formats—movies we currently can’t show in Aitken, which remains a filmonly venue. Though we have screened digital movies in the past at the
Capitol Theatre (and continue to do so), there are now so many that we
can’t show them all at W. 65th and Detroit Avenue; we would soon wear
out our welcome.
The Mandel Screening Room is equipped to show films from Bluray, DVD, and computer through a ceiling-mounted HD video projector. There is no projection booth—just a closet with video and sound
equipment. The room has carpet, comfortable theatre seats (the kind
Cinematheque patrons have been craving for the past 27 years), a large
screen, and multi-channel stereo surround sound.
The downside is that the space seats only 40 people. So moviegoers
should plan on arriving early to the four films we will show there in July
and August. If you can catch the 5:45 pm screening instead of the 7:45 pm
one, that will be even better. The early show will probably be less crowded
than the later one, but if it does sell out, you’ll be first in line for the later
screening. No food or drinks will be allowed in the auditorium, and since
we will run few if any trailers, we will start on time. Free parking for filmgoers is available in the CIA lot off of E. 117th Street. Enter the McCullough
Center through the rear door. Signs and security guards will direct you
to the screening room, which is on the third floor. (There is an elevator.)
The four films we will show are listed and described inside this brochure.

PARADA
Serbia/Slovenia/Croatia/Montenegro/
Macedonia, 2011, Srdjan Dragojević
In this wry Balkan take on The Seven Samurai,
a homophobic Serbian gangster and war vet
recruits some former soldiers from enemy exYugoslavian factions—a Croat, a Bosnian, a
Kosovan Albanian—to help him provide security for Belgrade’s Gay Pride parade. This daring
black comedy, a spoof of Balkan machismo and
prejudice, was a huge hit in the former Yugoslavia–heartening since Belgrade’s 2010 Gay
Pride parade was marred by violence and the
2011 event was canceled altogether. From the
director of Pretty Village, Pretty Flame. “Hilarious, raunchy comedy… Laugh-out-loud funny,
brilliantly acted and, towards the very end, also
deeply moving.” –The Hollywood Reporter.

Chile, 2012, Pablo Larrain
Gael García Bernal stars in this Chilean movie
that was one of the five nominees for last year›s
Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. (It
opened at the Cedar Lee during the run of the
Cleveland Int’l Film Festival, so many moviegoers missed it.) Bernal plays a hotshot advertising man who joins the campaign to oust Chilean
dictator General Augusto Pinochet, after 15
years in office, during a constitutionally mandated 1988 referendum. His innovative, irreverent
approach, which incorporates the latest marketing strategies, provokes scorn from both camps
and subterfuge from the right. Director Pablo
Larrain shot No on retro 3/4” U-matic videotape
to duplicate the look of 1980s Chilean television.

ROOM 237
USA, 2012, Rodney Ascher
One of the nuttiest, funniest, most jaw-dropping
(and most acclaimed) films of the year played
too briefly in Cleveland. Room 237 refers to a
mysterious room in the Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, and this new movie
explores the hidden meanings of that 1980
horror classic. In voiceover narration, five obsessed fans relay five very different (and elaborate) interpretations of the movie. On screen,
film clips, maps, diagrams, etc. support these
often outlandish theses. “Even more than The
Shining itself, [Room 237] places you right inside the logic of how an insane person thinks.”
-Entertainment Weekly. “An ode to movie love at
its most deliriously unfettered.” –The NY Times.

Canada, 2012, Brandon Cronenberg
Brandon Cronenberg’s first feature is a futuristic bio-thriller worthy of his famous father,
David. Set in a celebrity-smitten society where
viruses infecting sick pop stars are sold on the
black market so that sick (in the head) fans can
“commune” with their idols, the movie tells of
one dealer who contracts a virulent disease he’s
peddling. He frantically searches for a cure. “A
petri dish of high-concept perversity and cultural
commentary teeming with lo-fi ickiness.” -The

Roberto Benigni stars in Federico Fellini’s final
film, the only Fellini movie never released in
North America. (We will show a rare 35mm print
from Europe that is temporarily in the U.S.) A hit
in Italy, where it was nominated for nine David di
Donatello Awards (Italy’s Oscar) and won three
(including Best Actor), The Voice of the Moon is
a surrealistic comedy/drama in which a former
mental patient obsessed with the moon (a true
lunatic) and an ex-prefect team up to traverse
a cultural landscape peppered with pagans,
pompous fools, beauty queens, grotesques,
and other eccentrics. “A cockeyed lament on
a world gone haywire, where traditions are
dismissed and sensitive souls—what’s left of
them—look to the moon for magic and nourishment.” –San Francisco Chronicle. Adults only!

UPSTREAM COLOR
USA, 2013, Shane Carruth
Tonight the Cinematheque heads Uptown to
show the first of four digital movies in the new,
40-seat Mandel Screening Room inside the
Cleveland Institute of Art’s Joseph McCullough
Center, 11610 Euclid Ave. (Moviegoers can
park free in the CIA lot off of E. 117th St. Enter
the building through the rear entrance.) Upstream Color, the fascinating second mindf**k
by Shane Carruth (Primer), is one of the most
acclaimed and talked about films of 2013. It’s
an experimental sci-fi drama about a man and
a woman (Carruth and Amy Seimetz) who are
unknowing victims of a mysterious parasite
that has entered their bodies and ravaged their
lives. Director Carruth tells their shared story—
and lays out the parasite’s entire cryptic life cycle—through a series of sumptuous, sometimes
unsettling images. “It’s all a neat trick. Or exercise. Or brain-teaser. Whatever you want to call
it, Upstream Color is like nothing you’ve ever

Ray Harryhausen, 1920-2013
50th Anniversary!
JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS
UK/USA, 1963, Don Chaffey
The great stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen, who appeared in person at the Cinematheque in 1993 (thanks to the efforts of longtime
local fan David Massaro), died in May—but not
before inspiring a whole new generation of FX
wizards. Most experts (and the master himself)
regard this 1963 adventure fantasy as his greatest achievement. The mythic tale of an ancient
Greek hero’s voyage to find the Golden Fleece
allowed Harryhausen to realize some of his
most fantastic creations—from Harpies and a
Hydra to an army of skeleton warriors. Music by
Bernard Herrmann. 35mm. 104 min.

APRÈS MAI
France, 2012, Olivier Assayas
This highly acclaimed, semi-autobiographical
new French film from the director of Carlos
and Summer Hours is set during the turbulent
years following the country’s May 1968 student
uprising. A high school senior who is drawn
to radical politics tries to find his place in the
world, both as a leftist and an artist. Two young
women—a free-spirited hippie chick and a
more grounded documentary filmmaker—help
set him on the right path. A New York Film Festival selection. “A beautifully crafted work and
an acute evocation of its period both in look and
attitude.” –The Hollywood Reporter. Cleveland

Northern England that soon degenerates into a
murderous rampage. Produced by Edgar Wright
(Shaun of the Dead). “A pitch-black and sometimes gorily violent laugh-riot.” –The Hollywood
Reporter. “Five stars (highest rating)...A sick gag
of a film that’s bound to scar only the irony-challenged.” –Time Out New York. Adults only! Cleveland theatrical premiere. Blu-ray. 88 min. Shown

SIMON KILLER
USA/France, 2012, Antonio Campos
The unflinching, coolly elegant new thriller from
the director of Afterschool is a descent into Gaspar Noé territory. Brady Corbet (Martha Marcy
May Marlene, Funny Games) plays a heartbroken, unhinged young man who flees to Paris
and there begins an ill-fated relationship with a
prostitute. “A beautifully made look at ugliness
and brutality, the kind of oxymoronic exercise
that fascinates some and repels others.” –Arizona Republic. No one under 18 admitted! Cleveland premiere. 35mm. Some subtitles. 101 min.

TO THE WONDER
USA, 2012, Terrence Malick
The exquisite new film from the director of
Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line, and Tree

classical music, and snatches of dialogue and
voiceover narration to tell a skeletal story of a
young French woman (Olga Kurylenko) and an
American man (Ben Affleck) who are happy in
France but grow apart in America. The actors
and camera never stop moving. Like Malick’s
other movies, this lyrical work is both a paean
and a prayer; he seeks the eternal in the evanescent. With Javier Bardem and Rachel McAdams. 35mm. Some subtitles. 112 min. www.

KISS OF THE DAMNED
USA, 2012, Xan Cassavetes
This “appealingly affectionate homage to ‘70s
baroque horror films” (Time Out New York)
was directed by John Cassavetes’ daughter.
It’s a sexy, full-bodied vampire picture about a
smitten screenwriter who willingly submits to a
strawberry blonde bloodsucker, until her even
more vampish and voracious sister (Roxane
Mesquida) disrupts the couple’s bloody bliss.
“Saucily thumbing its nose at the insipid teen
love of the Twilight franchise, Kiss reimagines its bloodsuckers as horny, supercilious
Eurotrash with addiction issues…Rapacious
lovers of cult cinema will sink their fangs into

DANS LA MAISON
France, 2012, François Ozon
The New Yorker calls the clever, playful new
film from veteran French helmer François
Ozon (Swimming Pool, 8 Women) “one of his
best.” And they’re right. A literature teacher at
a French high school finds himself seduced
by the written compositions of a precocious
student who has insinuated himself into a
classmate’s “typical” bourgeois home and begun reporting about what he sees there. The
instructor becomes hooked by this ongoing
voyeuristic narrative, and pretty soon all kinds
of boundaries are being crossed—including the
big one between truth and fiction. With Kristin
Scott Thomas. “Wry humor and mystery…Might
be acclaimed filmmaker François Ozon›s most
accomplished and unpredictable work to date.”
–Film Journal Int’l. Subtitles. 35mm. 105 min.

The deadpan proletarian fables of Finland’s

seen in this droll but affecting blue collar masterpiece, about a shy, lonely factory worker
(Kaurismäki’s muse Kati Outinen) who has a
dull job, a pathetic home life, and a drab social
life. Nevertheless, she prevails. “Just about perfect.” –David Denby. Subtitles. 35mm. 68 min.

Charles Laughton and Bela Lugosi star in this
notorious film version of H. G. Wells’ The Island of Dr. Moreau, about a mad scientist on
a remote island who tries to turn jungle beasts
into humans. Dialogue from this creepy movie
(which was banned in Britain for over 25 years)
has seeped into pop culture, also inspiring rock
musicians from Devo (“Are we not men?”) and
Oingo Boingo to Van Halen. Cinematography

highly acclaimed new film by the great Alain
Resnais (Last Year at Marienbad; Hiroshima,
Mon Amour ), now 91 and still turning out bold,
innovative masterpieces that blend reality, artifice, and imagination. Resnais calls his new
work “a film for cinephiles,” and it features an
all-star French cast (Michel Piccoli, Mathieu
Amalric, Lambert Wilson, Resnais regulars
Sabine Azéma and Pierre Arditi, et al.). They
play themselves—prominent actors summoned
to a chateau by a now-deceased playwright
to watch a recording of a new production of
his famous play Eurydice (actually written by
Jean Anouilh). Pretty soon they begin saying
lines along with the on-screen actors—and
inhabiting a dream space in which time melts
away and pain, desire, and loss work together
to forge something new. “A playful, intellectual consideration of memory, theatre, and love
lost and regained.” –The Hollywood Reporter.

Italy/USSR, 1983, Andrei Tarkovsky
Long unavailable on 35mm in the U.S. (we last

alienation, exile, and homesickness. A Russian
poet and musicologist (Oleg Yankovsky) experiences a crisis of confidence and faith while
visiting Tuscany to research the life of a littleknown 18th-century Russian composer. But the
village’s mysterious lunatic (Erland Josephson)
claims to have a remedy for the traveler’s despair. Unmissable! “An article of faith.” –Time

bloodshed. Wajda imbues his war movie with
baroque imagery and film noir style. Maciek is
played by Zbigniew Cybulski, an iconic star of
post-WWII Polish cinema who is often called
the “Polish James Dean” because of his rebel
persona and accidental death at age 39. Subtitles. 35mm. 104 min.

daughter Pascale), who cross paths one day in
Paris and, inside a stolen briefcase, uncover
evidence of a nefarious conspiracy. Possessing
a map that turns the wintry city into an elaborate board game, they embark on a labyrinthine

THE WEEPING MEADOW
TRILOGIA I: O LIVADI POU DAKIRIZI
France/Greece/Italy, 2004,
Theodoros Angelopoulos
Greece’s Theo Angelopoulos, one of the world’s
greatest filmmakers, died unexpectedly in 2012
when he was struck by a motorcycle while
shooting a new movie. This 2004 epic, the first
part of a projected (and now unfinished) trilogy
about 20th-century Greece, is one of his best.
Spanning the years 1919-49, the movie focuses
on Eleni, a Greek orphan girl taken in by another Greek family. Eleni eventually marries her
new father, a widower, though she really loves
her adoptive brother Alexis. So when she and
Alexis run away together, they set in motion a
father-and-son conflict with mythic overtones –
an elemental drama of patriarchy and rebellion
set against a backdrop of floods, fascism, war,
and civil strife. Angelopoulos tells his allegorical tale in his usual grand fashion, with stunning
cinematography, stately long takes, monumental set pieces, and haunting music. “There are
moments of such breathtaking grace and artistry that you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re
watching the most beautiful movie ever made.”
