CAROL Starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara
A young woman in her 20s, Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara), is a clerk working in
a Manhattan department store and dreaming of a more fulfilling life when she
meets Carol (Cate Blanchett), an alluring woman trapped in a loveless, convenient
marriage. As an immediate connection sparks between them, the innocence of
their first encounter dims and their connection deepens. Carol is forced into difficult
choices when her husband takes steps to keep her from seeing her child. Filmmaker
Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven, Safe, Velvet Goldmine, I’m Not There) charts subtle
shifts of power and desire in images that are alternately luminous and oppressive.
Blanchett and Mara are both splendid; the erotic connection between their characters is palpable from beginning to end, as
much in its repression as in eagerly claimed moments of expressive freedom. (UK/USA, 2015, 118 min., Rated R, DCP | Dir. Todd
Haynes | Cannes Film Festival | New York Film Festival)
Brilliant performances by Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara highlight Todd Haynes’ luminous
adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s classic novel about two women falling in love in 1950s New York City
YOUTH Starring Harvey Keitel, Michael Caine, Rachel Weisz, Jane Fonda and Paul Dano
Fred (Michael Caine), a retired composer and conductor, has been coming to a luxury Swiss Alps resort for decades. Sitting on the immaculate grounds in a comfortable
chair, reading his newspaper, he has the air of an Englishman at peace with himself.
On the other hand, his bosom buddy Mick (Harvey Keitel), an American filmmaker,
is at the spa to finish his new screenplay along with a group of brash young collaborators who banter ideas and dialogue back and forth ceaselessly. The two friends are
also in-laws, as Fred’s daughter Lena (Rachel Weisz) is married to Mick’s son. As the
days pass, they reflect with humor and wisdom on both past and present, on the
ways and wiles of the world. Adding color is a motley collection of eccentrics: actors, models, footballers, and masseuses, whose
antics populate the film like musical diversions. Ultimately, Youth asks if our most important and transformative experiences can
come at any time – even late – in life. (Italy/France/Switzerland/UK, 2015, 118 min, Rated R, In English, Spanish and Swiss
German with English subtitles, DCP | Dir. Paolo Sorrentino | Cannes Film Festival | Toronto Film Festival)
Two old friends (Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel) reflect on their past, present, and the beauty and
absurdity of the world during a vacation in the Swiss Alps, in the lovely and heart-warming new film
from Academy Award winner Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty).
THE DANISH
Starring Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander
WOMANGIRL
IN GOLD
The Danish Girl is set in Copenhagen in the 1920s and focuses on a free-spirited
couple, both of them painters — he of delicate landscapes, she of portraits. Einar (Eddie Redmayne), has just had a successful gallery show, but Gerda (Alicia Vikander)
struggles to gain attention for her work. One day, Gerda asks her husband to stand in
for a female model so she can complete her latest painting. Einar is overwhelmed by
the experience of putting on beautiful, feminine clothes, and soon it turns into a quiet
obsession. As Einar gradually rediscovers himself, Gerda’s paintings of him as a woman
begin to attract serious attention. Gerda balances Einar’s transformation with her newfound acclaim. Einar, meanwhile, finds it impossible to put the genie back in the bottle: She will become Lili Elbe. (UK, 2015, 120
min., Rated R, DCP | Dir. Tom Hooper | Venice Film Festival | Toronto Film Festival)
Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) gives a tour de force
performance as Lili Elbe, the 1920s Danish artist whose journey from male to female made her a
transgender pioneer, in Oscar winner Tom Hooper’s (The King’s Speech) powerful drama
7
Shakespeare’s
MACBETH Starring MICHAEL FASSBENDER and MARION COTILLARD
Macbeth, a Thane of Scotland, receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day
he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by
his wife, Macbeth murders his king and takes the throne for himself. A thrilling interpretation of one of Shakespeare’s most famous and compelling characters, Macbeth
is a dramatic reimagining of the realities of war-torn times and a tale of all-consuming passion and ambition. (UK, 2015, 113min., Unrated, DCP | Dir. Justin Kurzel |
Cannes Film Festival)
Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard star in this intense adaptation of Shakespeare’s legendary
story of a fearless Scottish general whose ambitious wife urges him to use wicked means to gain
power of the throne
WILD TALES
HITCHCOCK/TRUFFAUT
In 1962 Hitchcock and Truffaut locked themselves away in Hollywood for a week
to excavate the secrets behind the mise-en-scène in cinema. Based on the original
recordings of this meeting—used to produce the mythical book Hitchcock/Truffaut—
this film illustrates the greatest cinema lesson of all time and plummets us into
the world of the creator of Psycho, The Birds, and Vertigo. Hitchcock’s incredibly
modern art is elucidated and explained by today’s leading filmmakers: Martin
Scorsese, David Fincher, Arnaud Desplechin, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Wes Anderson,
James Gray, Olivier Assayas, Richard Linklater, Peter Bogdanovich and Paul
Schrader. (USA/France, 2015, 80 min., PG-13, In English, French and Japanese
with English subtitles, DCP | Dir. Kent Jones)
Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, James Gray, Kiyoshi Kurosawa and others discuss the importance
of the epochal book that transcribed the week-long 1962 interview between Alfred Hitchcock and
French New Wave luminary François Truffaut

MUSTANG New Film from Turkey
CT
In a village in Northern Turkey, five free-spirited teenaged sisters splash about on
the beach with their male classmates. Though their games are merely innocent fun,
a neighbor passes by and reports what she considers to be illicit behavior to the
girls’ family. The family overreacts, removing all “instruments of corruption,” like cell
phones and computers, and essentially imprisoning the girls, subjecting them to
endless lessons in housework in preparation for them to become brides. As the eldest sisters are married off, the younger ones bond together to avoid the same fate.
The fierce love between them empowers them to rebel and chase a future where
they can determine their own lives in Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s debut, a powerful
portrait of female empowerment. (Turkey/France/Germany/Qatar, 2015, 94 min,
PG-13, In Turkish with English subtitles, DCP | Dir. Deniz Gamze Ergüven)
Five young sisters living in a coastal Turkish village on the Black Sea are placed under the
tyrannical regime of traditional morality by their guardians, in the poignant, award-winning first
feature by Turkish director Deniz Gamze Ergüven

Anything But Silent
Silent Classics with Live Theatre Organ Accompaniment by Ben Model
CHAPLIN SHORTS
Tuesday, December 8 at 7:30 pm • Members $10 | Public $15
In 1916, the Mutual Film Corporation built Charles Chaplin his own studio and he entered a fruitful twelve-month period which
he acknowledged to be one of the most inventive and liberating of his career. Chaplin had full
control over casting, scripting and directing, and the resulting movies are among his funniest works.
THE RINK is one of Chaplin’s most popular comedies featuring Charlie at his most mischievous and rebellious. He stars as an
inept waiter who in a comic highlight prepares the bill of Mr. Stout (Eric Campbell) by examining the soup, spaghetti, melon
stains and other remnants on the sloppy eater’s shirt, tie, and ear. After work, he unleashes comic chaos at a skating rink.
Chaplin’s agility and grace make The Rink one of his most memorable early comedies. (1916, 30min.)
ONE A.M. is a brilliant solo tour de force of Chaplin’s superb pantomime and comic creativity performed in a restricted space,
an experiment that he never repeated. The film’s simple situation revolves around a drunken gentlemen as he arrives home
early one morning and tries to get upstairs into bed despite the seemingly opposition of every inanimate object in his house.
(1916, 24 min.)
BEHIND THE SCREEN satirizes the unmotivated slapstick that Chaplin disliked when he worked for Mack Sennett. The film
is a parody of the knockabout, pie-throwing comedy of the Keystone films. Here, an aspiring actress (Edna Purviance), desperate for work, disguises herself as a boy and is hired at the studio where she stirs Charlie’s romantic interest. (1916, 30 min.)
THE IMMIGRANT which contains elements of satire, irony, and romance as well as cinematic poetry, endures in the twenty-
first century as a comic masterpiece. The film was Chaplin’s favorite among all his two-reel comedies. Here, two immigrants meet
on a boat, part ways, and are reunited by a chance encounter, a menacing waiter, and an artist’s enthusiasm. (1917, 30 min.)
Notes by Jeffrey Vance, adapted from his book Chaplin: Genius of the Cinema
Ben Model is one of America’s leading silent film accompanists, and has been playing piano and organ for silent films at the New York
MoMA since 1984, and the CAC since 2006.
An evening of classic Charlie Chaplin shorts, seen in brand new archival 2K digital restorations, sourced and
scanned from multiple 35mm prints from all over the world that will make these classic hilarious films look like new!

SO’S YOUR OLD MAN
35
mm
Thursday, December 17 at 7:30 pm • Members $10 | Public $15
W.C. Fields rose to fame as a vaudeville juggler, but his movies forever established him as a duplicitous, bibulous, hilariously
foul-spirited idler who’d steal candy from a baby. In So’s Your Old Man, Fields is a put-upon father who triumphantly invents
unbreakable windshield glass. But instead of acclaim, he shames his family until a princess comes to his rescue. This is a very rare
screening from a comic master known mainly for his work in the talking cinema.
(USA, 1926, 73 min. | Dir. Gregory La Cava | Cast: W.C. Fields, Alice Joyce, Charles Buddy Rogers | 35mm print from Library of Congress)
Andrew Simpson is Resident Film Accompanist for the National Gallery of Art and regularly featured accompanist for the Library of
Congress. He has performed original film scores at the Kennedy Center, AFI Silver Theater, New York Public Library at Lincoln Center,
the Giornate del Cinema Muto, and many other venues. A composer, pianist, and organist, Simpson is professor and head of the
division of Theory and Composition at the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music of The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC.
W.C. Fields stars in this hilarious silent comedy about a brilliant inventor who can’t get any respect from
his own family until a princess turns the tables on them

Thursday, December 10 at 7:30 pm | Member $10 Public $15
Hosted by Film Historian Philip Harwood
In 1935, the Marx Brothers: Groucho, Chico, and Harpo (minus Zeppo, who had
left the team) had moved from Paramount to Metro-Goldwyn Mayer, and starred
in their first film at that studio, A Night At The Opera. Co-starring Allan Jones,
Kitty Carlisle, and Sig Ruman, the Marx brothers enter the world of opera.
Otis B. Driftwood (Groucho) helps Mrs. Claypool (Margaret Dumont) enter society. Opera company Managing Director Mr. Gottlieb (Ruman) signs a leading tenor, Rodolfo Lasspari (Walter Woolf King), to sing in New York and he in turn convinces his current co-star Rosa (Carlisle) to come with him. She however is in love
with Ricardo (Jones), also a tenor but unknown and only a member of the chorus.
You may ask:
• Why did the brothers move from Paramount to MGM?
• What did the brothers have to do before filming began?
• Did Verdi really write “Take Me Out To The Ballgame”?
• How many characters can you really fit inside a small stateroom?
• The odd opening of the film? Did it really begin that way?
• These questions, and more will be discussed by Film Historian Philip Harwood.
Philip Harwood is a Film Historian. He currently teaches film in the Hutton House Lectures at LIU: C.W. Post, 92nd Street Y, and the
JCC Manhattan. He was Coordinator for Lifelong Learning at Queens College. He is also a published author.

THE NUTCRACKER
Sunday, December 13 at 12 noon | Members $10 | Public $15
Christmas simply wouldn’t be Christmas without The Royal Ballet’s classic production of The Nutcracker.
Loosely based on a story by E.T.A. Hoffmann, it opens with the Christmas festivities of little Clara and her
family and progresses through a sequence of dreams and enchantments that take Clara on her magical
journey to the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of the Sweets. Peter Wright’s enchanting production with
its wondrously growing Christmas tree and a rousing battle between the villainous Mouse King and an
army of toy soldiers, mines the colour of Tchaikovsky’s score, retaining exquisite surviving fragments
of the original Ivanov choreography, including the beautiful pas de deux for the Sugar Plum Fairy and
her Cavalier. (UK, 2009, 2 hours 15 min - includes intermission, NR - treat as PG, Choreography Peter Wright after Lev Ivanov, Music Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky, Original scenario Marius Petipa after

Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch takes on the title role of Shakespeare’s great tragedy. Both a griping tale and
a deep exploration of the ethical issues that surround murder, cal­culated revenge, and thwarted desire, William Shakespeare’s Hamlet
is widely considered to be among the most powerful tragedies in English literature. Forced to avenge his father’s death but paralyzed
by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state.

Helen Mirren reprises her Academy Award winning role as Queen Elizabeth II in this highly-acclaimed production about the private
meetings between the Queen and her Prime Ministers. For sixty years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve Prime Ministers in a weekly
audience at Buckingham Palace – a meeting like no other in British public life – it is private. Both parties have an unspoken agree¬ment never
to repeat what is said. Not even to their spouses. The Audience breaks this contract of silence – and imagines a series of pivotal meetings between the Downing Street incumbents and their Queen. (UK, 2013, 180 min. | Dir: Stephen Daldry, Writer: Peter Morgan)

THE FILMS
OF SEIJUN
SUZUKI
“Seijun Suzuki is a master stylist and one of Japanese cinema’s greatest innovators.
His work has been a great inspiration to me. A retrospective of his films – fantastic!”
– Jim Jarmusch
“To experience a film by Japanese B-movie visionary Seijun Suzuki is to experience
Japanese cinema in all its frenzied, voluptuous excess.”— Manohla Dargis, NY TIMES
Seijun Suzuki first became famous when he was fired by Nikkatsu Studios for making films that, as he put it,
“made no sense and made no money.” But it was his freewheeling approach and audacious experimentation
that gained Suzuki a cult following in Japan and abroad. Suzuki’s job at Nikkatsu was to make B movies out
of scripts that were assigned to him. In the mid-1960s, Suzuki’s restlessness began to come through as he began experimenting with the assigned material. These films established Suzuki as a stylistic innovator working
within—and rebelling against—the commercial constraints of studio work. In the 1990s, a new generation
of devotees, most notably Jim Jarmusch and Quentin Tarantino, praised Suzuki in the press and referenced
his work in their films. Co-presented with the Japan Foundation.
All shows are regular admission.
GATE OF FLESH Wednesday, December 30 at 7:30 pm
35
mm
Part social-realist drama, part sadomasochistic trash opera, Gate of Flesh
paints a dog-eat-dog portrait of postwar Tokyo. The film takes the point of view
of a gang of tough prostitutes working out of a bombed-out building. When a
lusty ex-soldier lurches into their midst, the group’s most sensitive member is
tempted to break one of their strictest rules: no falling in love. From the women’s
bold, color-coded dresses to the unorthodox use of superimposition effects and
theatrical lighting, this is Suzuki at his most astonishingly inventive. Print courtesy of the Japan Foundation. (Japan, 1964, 35mm, 90 min., color, Japanese
with English subtitles)
TOKYO DRIFTER Wednesday, January 6 at 7:30 pm
Tasked with making a vehicle for actor-singer Tetsuya Watari to croon the title
song, Suzuki concocted this crazy yarn about a reformed yakuza on the run
from his former comrades. The film is mainly an excuse to stage an escalating
series of goofy musical numbers and over-the-top fight scenes. Popping with
garish colors, self-parodic style, and avant-garde visual design, Tokyo Drifter
embodies a late-1960s zeitgeist in which trash and art joyfully comingle. “With
influences that range from Pop Art to 1950s Hollywood musicals, and from farce
and absurdist comedy to surrealism, Suzuki shows off his formal acrobatics in a
film that is clearly meant to mock rather than celebrate the yakuza film genre”
(Nikolaos Vryzidis, Directory of World Cinema: Japan). (Japan, 1966, DCP, 83
min., color, Japanese with English subtitles)

CARMEN FROM KAWACHI
Wednesday, January 13 at 7:30 pm
35
mm
A 1960s riff on the opera Carmen (including a rock version of its famous aria
“Habanera”), this picaresque tale sends its heroine from the countryside to Osaka
and Tokyo in search of success as a singer. Her journey is fraught with exploitation and abuse at the hands of nefarious
men—until Carmen seeks revenge. Mixing comedy, biting social commentary,
and Suzuki’s customarily outrageous stylistic flourishes, this fast-paced gem is an
overlooked classic from his creative late
period at Nikkatsu Studios. Print courtesy
of the Japan Foundation. (Japan, 1966,
35mm, 89 min., Japanese with English
subtitles)
BRANDED TO KILL
Thursday, January 21 at 7:30
This fractured film noir is the final provocation that got Suzuki fired from Nikkatsu Studios, simultaneously making him a counterculture hero and putting him out of work for a decade. An anarchic send-up of B-movie clichés, it stars Joe Shishido as an
assassin who gets turned on by the smell of cooking rice, and whose failed attempt to kill a victim (a butterfly lands on his gun)
turns him into a target himself. Perhaps Suzuki’s most famous film, it has been cited as an influence by filmmakers such as Quentin
Tarantino, Jim Jarmusch, Park Chan-wook, and John Woo, as well as the composer John Zorn, who called it “a cinematic
masterpiece that transcends its genre.” (Japan, 1967, DCP, 91 min., b/w, Japanese with English subtitles)

Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck
Running the gamut from romantic drama to comedy and heartwarming sentiment
– and with a slightly sloppy cameo appearance by Bossie the Cow - Remember the
Night was scripted by the great Preston Sturges, who described it as having “a lot
of schmaltz, a good dose of schmerz, and just enough schmutz to make it box office.”
And so it was, with Barbara Stanwyck as a troubled shoplifter, teaming up for the
first time with Fred MacMurray as a prosecutor too kind-hearted to leave her in the big-city
clink during the Christmas recess. So he takes
her off to hearth and home in Indiana, where
his loving mother (Beula Bondi) helps get the
wayward girl back on track. (USA, 1940, 94

Middle class housewife Ila is trying once again to add some spice to her marriage, this time through
her cooking. She desperately hopes that this new recipe will finally arouse some kind of reaction
from her neglectful husband. She prepares a special lunchbox to be delivered to him at work, but,
unbeknownst to her, it is mistakenly delivered to another office worker, Saajan, a lonely man on the
verge of retirement. Curious about the lack of reaction from her husband, Ila puts a little note in the
following day’s lunchbox, in the hopes of getting to the bottom of the mystery. This begins a series
of lunchbox notes between Saajan and Ila, and the mere comfort of communicating with a stranger
anonymously soon evolves into an unexpected friendship. Gradually, their notes become little confessions about their loneliness, memories, regrets, fears, and even small joys. They each discover a
new sense of self and find an anchor to hold on to in the big city of Mumbai that so often crushes
hopes and dreams. Still strangers physically, Ila and Saajan become lost in a virtual relationship that
could jeopardize both their realities. (India/France/Germany, 2013, 105 min., color, English and

THE STORY STRUCTURE OF MOTION PICTURES
If you’ve ever had an idea for a movie but didn’t know how to develop it into a screenplay, or if you just love movies and want to
know more about them, then this course is for you. Designed for beginners, it explores the techniques involved in writing and/or
understanding movies. For instance, did you know that virtually all good movies have a carefully defined structure? They follow a
three-act model called the “paradigm,” which is the backbone of good storytelling and is present in almost every movie you see.
It takes only a few hours to learn the paradigm but many weeks to master it. Through movie screenings, screenplay readings and
discussions, this course will teach students to recognize and understand restorative, three-act motion picture structure through
the paradigm. The class will examine motion pictures from a writer’s perspective. Unlike most film studies courses, it will not concentrate upon historical or sociological perspectives; rather, it will focus upon the construction of the film story. The screenings
and discussions will deal exclusively with narrative motion pictures rather than abstract or experimental films. The course will also
explore the realities of the film industry: how and why certain movies get made; how to find an agent and break in as a screenwriter;
dealing with producers; legally protecting your work; union affiliations and many other facets of movie-making.
Stephen Martin Siegel is an award-winning screenwriter who resides on Long Island. He taught film &
television writing for ten years at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he earned an M.F.A. in
Dramatic Writing. He has worked under contract to Touchstone Pictures, a division of Walt Disney Pictures,
and has written screenplays for such diverse names as Sean Connery, Dawn Steel and Dick Clark. He is a
Lifetime Member of the Writer’s Guild of America, and many of his students have enjoyed success in the film
and television industries including Jonathan Liebesman, who directed the recent reboot of Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles; Robert Ben Garant & Thomas Lennon, writers of Night at the Museum and Reno! 911; and Susan
DeMasi, who won the Tony Cox Award for Screenwriting at the Nantucket Film Festival.
Cinema Arts Centre proudly presents the return of its popular screenwriting seminar. Whether you
want to be a screenwriter or are just looking for a better understanding of how movies work, Stephen
Martin Siegel’s acclaimed workshop on cinematic story structure is wonderfully illuminating.
