Old Joy Sunday 12th June
15
Dir: Kelly Reichardt
Starring: Daniel London,
Will Oldham,Tanya Smith
US 2006, 73mins. 35mm.
April saw the release of
Reichardt’s fourth feature
as director, MEEK’S CUTOFF
(see page 10), so we
thought it an excellent time
to revisit her beginnings and
celebrate an exciting voice in
American cinema. OLD JOY
is a melancholic road movie
following two friends who reunite
for a weekend camping trip to
the Cascade mountain range in
Oregon. On one level Reichardt’s
second feature is a beautiful
and minimalist tome (brought to
life with the help of an exclusive
soundtrack by Yo La Tengo)
but under the surface bubbles
notions of the complexities
of male friendship, loss and
alienation in the Bush era.

with introduction by Ken Russell
Wednesday 22nd June
Dir: Peter Bogdanovich
Starring: Timothy Bottoms,
Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd
US 1971, 126mins. Digital.
Dir: Ken Russell
Starring: Dorothy Tutin,
Scott Antony, Helen Mirren
UK 1972, 100mins. 35mm.
With CRAZY HEART and TRUE
GRIT under his belt it’s a good
time to be Jeff Bridges and with
the re-release of a new, digitally
restored, version of the film which
helped launch his career it’s a
pretty sweet time to be a film fan
too. Bogdanovich’s 1971 film pays
homage to Hollywood’s classical
age, chronicling generational
rites of passage in a fictional
one-horse Texan town. In 1951,
high school seniors Sonny and
Duane play football, go to the
movies, hang out at the pool
hall, and lust after rich tease Jacy
Farrow. As the year passes, Sonny
learns the hard way about the
compromises and tragedy of
adult life.
2011 marks the centenary of
Henri Gaudier-Brzeska’s move
from Paris to London, where
he played an important role in
the development of modern
sculpture in this country,
collaborating with figures such
as Ezra Pound and Roger Fry.
Ken Russell’s SAVAGE MESSIAH
uses Jim Ede’s book of the same
name as his source to bring to
the silver screen Gaudier-Brzeska’s
story during this period, focusing
in particular on his difficult
relationship with his companion,
the writer Sophie Brzeska.

A degenerative sight disease is
closing in, gradually shrouding
Julia’s world in darkness, but when
her twin sister apparently commits
suicide Julia can see that things
are not as they should be and
begins to investigate her death.
Packed full of old-fashioned chills

THE ORPHANAGE and THE DEVIL’S
BACKBONE.
BAFTA winner Kapadia’s intimate
documentary uses archive
footage, both from the track where
Senna made his name and from
family home movies, to immortalize
Brazil’s most famous (and fastest)
racing son, Ayrton Senna. SENNA
will not only grip you from start to

Dir: Thomas McCarthy
Starring: Paul Giamatti,
Amy Ryan, Bobby Cannavale
US 2011, 106mins
Set in remote, rural Calabria in
southern Italy LE QUATTRO VOLTE
is a delicate and wryly funny
meditation on rural life. Quasidocumentary in form and with
a pace exquisitely matched to
that of the village itself the main
subjects are an elderly goatherd,
a baby goat, a dog, a fir tree and
a smoking charcoal kiln.There is
no dialogue as such but a rich
soundscape of goat bells and
howling winds, church bells and
burning wood. In LE QUATTRO
VOLTE one can find echoes of the
poetry of SLEEP FURIOUSLY or the
dry humour of HUKKLE (2003) but
this is a rare and wondrous work.
The ever-reliable Thomas
McCarthy (THE STATION
AGENT,THE VISITOR) is back
with a typically acerbic slice
of American life in WIN WIN.
A characteristically gruff Paul
Giamatti (SIDEWAYS) is Mike
Flaherty, a New Jersey lawyer who
struggles to balance his work with
his home life while moonlighting
as a wrestling coach at the
local high school. With the team
the butt of jokes in the regional
wrestling league, Mike lucks
out when a tear-away student

bursts onto the scene and stakes

One of France’s biggest box
office successes of 2010 and
Nominated for the Golden
Bear at Berlin, MAMMUTH,
from emerging young French
directors Kervern and Delépine
(LOUISE MICHEL, AALTRA), is
an outrageously funny and
subversive tale of one man’s
attempt to secure his state
pension. On paper this may
not sound like film gold but put
Gerard Depardieu in the leading
role and give him a motorbike
and what you have is a larger

growing old in the modern world.

Having already picked up the
Grand Prix at the 2010 Cannes
Film Festival Critics’ Week as well
as a host of other awards, Janus
Metz Pedersen’s film arrives under
the weight of great expectation.
Thankfully the praise is worthy.
ARMADILLO is both an affecting
war documentary and a
haunting portrait of the conflict
in Afghanistan. As a journey into
the minds of a group of Danish
soldiers on their first tour to the
southern province of Helmand,
this will rightly draw comparisons
with RESTREPO. Like this Oscar
nominee, ARMADILLO is not
without its controversial moments,
but its raw authenticity makes it
unmissable viewing.

Vidal Sassoon is more than
just a hairdresser – he’s a rock
star, an artist, a craftsman who
‘changed the world with a pair
of scissors’. With the geometric,
Bauhaus-inspired hair styles he
pioneered in the 1960s and his
‘wash and wear’ philosophy,
Sassoon revolutionised the art of
hairstyling, leaving an indelible
mark on popular culture. Sassoon
literally changed the way that
women look and cut their
hair today. Spanning 80 years
of revolution in culture, VIDAL
SASSOON THE MOVIE takes a
deeply intimate look into the life
of this extraordinary man, whose
influence far outreaches the
industry he worked in.
