HUMAN CAPITAL
Directed by PAOLO VIRZI/Italy/2014/111mins.
With Fabrizio Bentivoglio, Matilde Gioli,
Valeria Bruni Tedeschi
Human Capital begins at the end, as a cyclist is run off the road by a careening SUV
the night before Christmas Eve. As details emerge of the events leading up to the
accident, the lives of the well­to­do Bernaschi family, privileged and detached, will
intertwine with the Ossolas, struggling to keep their comfortable middle­class life,
in ways neither could have expected. Dino Ossola (Fabrizio Bentivoglio), in dire
financial straits, anticipates the birth of twins with his second wife (Valeria Golino).
Meanwhile, Dino's teenage daughter's relationship with hedge­fund manager
Giovanni Bernaschi's playboy son complicates an already tricky social dance of
status, money and ambition. (In Italian with English subtitles).

Retrospective & Exhibition
In collaboration with Miami Int. Film Festival
THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI
Directed by ORSON WELLES/1947/87mins.
With Orson Welles, Rita Hayworth, Everett Sloane
Original French pressbook from the MBC Archive, on display at MBC Baffling murders, fascinating plot twists and remarkable camera work all contribute to
this spellbinding, time­honored film noir written, directed by and starring Orson Welles.
Hired to work on a yacht belonging to the disabled husband of femme fatale Rita
Hayworth, Welles plays an innocent man drawn into a dangerous web of intrigue and
murder. The subject of great controversy and scandal upon its initial release, The Lady
from Shanghai shocked 1948 audiences by presenting Hayworth with her flaming red
hair cut short and dyed champagne blonde. Fifty years later, The Lady From Shanghai
is considered vintage Welles, his famous hall of mirrors climax hailed as one of the
greatest scenes in cinematic history.
"Even in its present state of butchered grandeur, The Lady from Shanghai
(1947) is a joy to behold. Like everything Orson Welles produced, there's an
air of fractured menace in this film that resides outside the white noise that
surrounds his presence as the poet of film maudit. Its possessed by an
uneasy, frivolous wisp of a plot that ponders through the created anecdote
whether our internal constructs are true enough to grasp... As Truffaut
famously wrote about the remarkable The Lady from Shanghai: "Its whole
raison d'etre is cinema itself."­CineVue

With Alexey Serebryakov, Elena Liadova, Sergey Pokhodaev
The latest drama from Andrey Zvyagintsev, the acclaimed director of The Return
(Venice Film Festival Golden Lion winner and Golden Globe nominee). Kolia (Alexey
Serebryakov) lives in a small fishing town near the stunning Barents Sea in Northern
Russia. He owns an auto­repair shop that stands right next to the house where he lives
with his young wife Lilya (Elena Liadova) and his son Roma (Sergey Pokhodaev) from a
previous marriage. The town's corrupt mayor Vadim Shelevyat (Roman Madianov) is
determined to take away his business, his house, as well as his land. First the Mayor
tries buying off Kolia, but Kolia unflinchingly fights as hard as he can so as not to lose
everything he owns including the beauty that has surrounded him from the day he was
born. Facing resistance, the mayor starts being more aggressive...

With Marion Cotillard, Fabrizio Rongione, Catherine Sallée
After screening all of the Dardennes' films, MBC is happy to bring you their latest. For
the first time, Belgian directors Jean­Pierre and Luc Dardenne team up with a major
international star, Marion Cotillard, to create a universal story about working­class
people living on the edges of society. Sandra (Cotillard) has just returned to work after
recovering from a serious bout with depression. After realizing that her co­workers will
decide her fate on Monday morning, Sandra races against time over the course of the
weekend, often with the help of her husband, to convince each of her fellow employees
to sacrifice their much­needed bonuses so she can keep her job. With each encounter,
Sandra is brought into a different world with unexpected results in this powerful
statement on community solidarity. (In French with English subtitles).

CITIZEN KANE
Directed by ORSON WELLES/1941/119mins.
With Orson Welles, Joseph Cotton, Dorothy Comingore,
Agnes Moorehead, Ruth Warrick
Original French poster from the MBC Archive, on display at MBC Orson Welles' timeless masterwork is more than a groundbreaking film. Presented here
in a magnificent 70th anniversary digital transfer with revitalized digital audio from the
highest quality surviving elements, it is also grand entertainment, sharply acted and
superbly directed with inspired visual flair. Depicting the controversial life of an
influential publishing tycoon, this Best Original Screenplay Academy Award Winner
(1941) is rooted in themes of power, corruption, vanity­the American Dream lost in the
mystery of a dying man's last word: "Rosebud".
WINNER:

New York Film Critics Best Film
"It is one of the miracles of cinema that in 1941 a first­time director; a
cynical, hard­drinking writer; an innovative cinematographer, and a group of
New York stage and radio actors were given the keys to a studio and total
control, and made a masterpiece. "Citizen Kane" is more than a great movie;
it is a gathering of all the lessons of the emerging era of sound, just as "Birth
of a Nation" assembled everything learned at the summit of the silent era,
and "2001" pointed the way beyond narrative. These peaks stand above all
the others."­Roger Ebert

THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY
Directed by PETER STRICKLAND/UK/2014/105mins.
With Sidse Babett Knudsen, Eugenia Caruso, Monica Swinn
Dripping with dreamlike imagery, Gothic atmosphere, and a lush chamber pop score by
Cat's Eyes, this critically­acclaimed, darkly comic erotic fantasia is a seductive feast for
the senses. Sex, bondage, and butterflies: two women explore the extremes of carnal
desire in this kinky, deliciously twisted tale of erotic obsession. In a crumbling
European estate, butterfly researcher Cynthia (Sidse Babett Knudsen) and her lover
Evelyn (Chiara D'Anna) repeatedly enact a sadomasochistic role­playing game, with
Cynthia as the stern mistress and Evelyn her subservient sex slave. But as the lines
between fantasy and reality begin to blur, and Cynthia grows increasingly uneasy with
Evelyn's insatiable appetite for punishment, their relationship is pushed to the limit.

OTHELLO
Directed by ORSON WELLES/1952/restoration 2014/93mins.
With Orson Welles, Micheal Macliammoir, Suzanne Cloutier, Robert Coote
Original US poster from the MBC Archive, on display at MBC Soon after the release of Macbeth, in 1948, Orson Welles decided to adapt another
Shakespeare play, Othello. The film's shoot was fraught with pitfalls, including the
original producer going bankrupt and unforeseen cast changes, leading Welles to
suspend filming several times. The result is an astounding and breathtakingly beautiful
adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy: the actor­director, assisted by renowned
production designer Alexandre Trauner, glorifies each shot of his Othello with clever
contrasts between shadow and light. Orson Welles exerts his genius with a masterpiece
of unique aesthetics, earning a well­deserved Palme d'Or in Cannes in 1952. WINNER: Palme d'Or Cannes Film Festival
"Orson's bravery ­ along with his imagination, his selfishness, his generosity,
his cruelty, his tolerance, his impatience, his sensitivity, his coarseness, and
his vision ­ is magnificently excessive."

With Orson Welles, Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, Marlene Dietrich
Original Spanish poster from the MBC Archive, on display at MBC
Directed by Orson Welles, Touch of Evil is a film noir masterpiece whose Hollywood
backstory is as unforgettable as the movie itself. Starring Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh
and Orson Welles, this dark portrait of corruption and morally compromised obsessions
tells the story of a crooked police chief who frames a Mexican youth as part of an
intricate criminal plot. This is the Reconstructed version based on Orson Welles' original
vision.
"The 1998 revision is more than just another version, it's an attempt at
artistic reclamation by proxy. "An academic example of what Welles
intended," is how revision producer Rick Schmidlin described it in 1998.
"There can be no such thing as a restored version," reminds Bob O'Neil, the
head of preservation and restoration at Universal, "because in order for there
to be a restored version, there needs to be a version to restore and there
never was a Welles version."­Parallax View

CANNES FILM FESTIVAL INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR
DAVID ROBERT MITCHELL
For It Follows, you decided to switch to a horror film while retaining the DNA
of The Myth Of American Sleepover (Detroit, the teenagers, the mood, etc...).
How did you come with this idea?
I had the idea for the film for years. When I was a kid I had nightmares about being
followed by monsters and vampires. I had trouble sleeping ­ these dreams were so
scary. It probably started there. The fact that it has similarities to Myth happened
pretty naturally. I wondered what it would be like if the kids from Myth were thrown
into a more supernatural world. After reading the script, my friend and editor Julio
Perez told me that it seemed like a very dark sequel to Myth. That seemed pretty
funny to me, but I think it might be somewhat true. It wasn't intentional, but I can
understand people seeing it that way. While Myth suggests a gentle kindness and
hope, this film is filled with fear and dread.
I remember this scene in The Myth Of American Sleepover involving a Ouija
board to summon spirits... It Follows is your own take on horror genre. How
would you describe it?
This film is certainly inspired by a strange mixture of John Carpenter, Lynch, Philip
Kaufman, Kubrick, Polanski, Jacques Tourneur, Jean Rollin, Cronenberg, Dario Argento
and many other filmmakers who have made some pretty wonderful horror films.
The Myth Of American Sleepover showed that adolescence and youth were
moody and beautiful. It Follows shows an uglier side: fear of sex, angry
parents... Are you planning a trilogy?
I'm not planning a third film to fit with this pair, but that doesn't mean I won't make
one accidentally. I have a few other scripts and some ideas that could easily fit within
this world. The similarities will probably happen naturally. There's one in particular that
I'm excited about. It's an adventure/mystery with a bit of comedy ­ plus it's centred on
adults. We'll see which one I'm able to make next.
