The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Starts October 5
A
funny and touching coming-of-age story based on the beloved best-selling novel by Stephen
Chbosky, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower is a modern classic that captures the dizzying highs
and crushing lows of growing up. Incoming freshman Charlie is shy and prone to sitting on the
sidelines, but he also has more serious problems, including a recent stay in a psychiatric hospital, and
a best friend who committed suicide. At the film’s outset, his ability to make it through the school year
intact is in question. Set in the ’90s in a suburb of Pittsburgh, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower gives
its protagonist a stable, loving family while acknowledging that that isn’t everything. Charlie’s life
improves dramatically when he meets stepsiblings Sam (Emma Watson) and Patrick (Ezra Miller),
happy outcasts who’ve carved out their own social sanctuary and who take Charlie under their wing.
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower is a moving tale of love, loss, fear and hope--and the unforgettable friends that help us through life. In
its acknowledgement that youth can be overwhelmingly difficult, but also filled with the kind of glimmers of promise and possibility that
can’t be experienced at any other time, Chbosky has crafted a coming-of-age tale that feels unusually warm and wise.
Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, Ezra Miller, and Paul Rudd star in this funny and touching
coming-of-age story based on the beloved best-selling novel by Stephen Chbosky
USA, 2012, 103 min., color, Rated PG-13, 35mm • Director/writer: Stephen Chbosky • Cast: Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, Ezra Miller, Paul
Rudd, Melanie Lynskey, Dylan McDermott, Kate Walsh, Tom Savini, Nina Dobrev • 2012 Toronto International Film Festival
Wuthering Heights
A
fresh and radically distinct take on Emily Bronte’s classic novel from British director
Andrea Arnold (Fish Tank, Red Road). In this adaptation, Arnold forgoes period
frills and a sweeping score and strips Bronte’s story to the root of youthful passion,
restoring its stark power for a contemporary audience. Heathcliff – in Arnold’s version, a
black boy – is taken in by a Yorkshire farmer, Earnshaw. Living in Earnshaw’s home on the
windswept moors, Heathcliff develops a passionate relationship with the farmer’s
teenage daughter, Cathy, inspiring the envy and mistrust of his son, Hindley. When
Earnshaw passes away, the now-grown characters must finally confront the intense
feelings and rivalries that have built up throughout their years together. Arnold's film is a beautiful and evocative visual masterpiece that
brings out the powerful emotions at the heart of Brontë's classic novel, resulting in a viscerally affecting love story. It is a sweepingly
old-fashioned tale of family, class, and romance told in a bracingly modern way by one of contemporary cinema's most gifted filmmakers.

The Oranges
Starring Hugh Laurie, Catherine Keener,
Oliver Platt, Allison Janney
D
avid and Paige Walling (Hugh Laurie, Catherine Keener) and Terry and Cathy
Ostroff (Oliver Platt, Allison Janney) are best friends and neighbors living on
Orange Drive in suburban New Jersey. Their comfortable existence goes awry when
prodigal daughter Nina Ostroff (Leighton Meester), newly broken up with her fiancé
Ethan (Sam Rosen), returns home for Thanksgiving after a five-year absence. Rather
than developing an interest in the successful son of her neighbors, Toby Walling (Adam
Brody), which would please both families, it’s her parents’ best friend David who captures Nina’s attention. When the connection
between Nina and David becomes undeniable, everyone’s lives are thrown into upheaval, particularly Vanessa Walling’s (Alia Shawkat),
Nina’s childhood best friend. It’s not long before the ramifications of the affair begin to work on all of the family members in unexpected
and hilarious ways, leading everyone to reawaken to their lives and reassess what it means to be happy.
A hilarious comedy about two New Jersey families, who are both neighbors and close friends,
whose lives are turned upside-down by a sudden and surprising romantic passion

2012 Vic Skolnick Life of the Cinema Campaign
As we enter our 40th year, the Cinema Arts Centre faces an extraordinary challenge.
In addition to raising vital funds for our programs and operations, we must also raise funds to
equip our three theatres with digital projection equipment.
In 2013, all new motion pictures will no longer be produced and distributed on film.
The Cinema Arts Centre must be prepared to present
all American and foreign cinema in digital format by purchasing new projectors in all three theatres
at a cost of $186,000. This means that we must more than double the goal of our annual appeal,
the Vic Skolnick Life of the Cinema Campaign, and raise $220,000.
Named in memory of our Co-Founder Vic Skolnick, who used to talk about
getting people more engaged in the Life of the Cinema, this campaign is a clear and direct way for
members and supporters to have a meaningful impact on the Cinema and to ensure our future.
Your fully tax-deductible contribution will allow us to continue to present
our high-quality film programs and special events, offer our Film Arts in Education program
to thousands of public school students each year, and purchase the digital projection equipment
we need to keep operating.
Please give generously and many thanks.
…Yes, I would like to make a fully tax-deductible non-membership gift to support the Cinema Arts Centre’s programs and
operations and to help purchase digital projection equipment to ensure the future of the Cinema Arts Centre.

F
ive aging friends decide to move in together in Stéphane Robelin's crowd-pleasing
comedy, starring Jane Fonda (in her first French-language film since Godard's 1972 Tout Va
Bien), Geraldine Chaplin, and Claude Rich. Comfortably retired, they hire a handsome
graduate student (Daniel Brühl) as a live-in caretaker and rediscover the joys of “communal”
living -- but when old secrets and long-simmering jealousies emerge, discord among the group
begins to grow.

S
imon (Kacey Mottet Klein) lives with his older sister (Léa Seydoux) in a housing complex below a luxury
Swiss ski resort. With his sister drifting in and out of jobs and relationships, twelve-year-old Simon takes on
the responsibility of providing for the two of them. Every day, he takes the lift up to the opulent ski world above,
stealing equipment from rich tourists to resell to the local kids down in the valley. He is able to keep their little
family afloat with his small-time hustles and his sister is thankful for the money he brings in. But, when Simon
partners with a crooked British seasonal worker, he begins to lose his boundaries, affecting his relationship with
his sister and plummeting him into dangerous territory.

parents’ biological son, but that he was inadvertently switched at birth with Yassin, the son of
a Palestinian family from the West Bank. This revelation turns the lives of these two families upsidedown, forcing them to reassess their respective identities, their values and their beliefs. This moving
Israeli drama approaches the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a way that transcends the history and
politics and delves deeper towards our shared humanity

The Flat
T
he flat on the third floor of a Bauhaus building in Tel Aviv was where filmmaker Arnon
Goldfinger’s grandparents lived since they immigrated to Palestine in the 1930s. Were
it not for the view from the windows, one might have thought that the flat was in Berlin.
When his grandmother passed away at the age of 98 the family called to the flat to clear out
what was left. Objects, pictures, letters and documents awaited us, revealing traces of a
troubled and unknown past. The film which begins with the emptying out of a flat develops
into a riveting adventure, involving unexpected national interests, a friendship that
crosses enemy lines, and deeply repressed family emotions. And even reveals some secrets that should have probably remained untold.

I
n How To Grow A Band, 26-year-old Chris
Thile is at a crossroads. His marriage has
ended, and his platinum-selling band, Nickel
Creek, has gone on “indefinite hiatus.” But
Thile, a perfectionist prodigy who’s defied expectations since he learned the mandolin at age
five, has a plan. Step 1: Write a 45-minute, fourmovement elegy to your failed marriage to be
played by a bluegrass quintet. Step 2: Recruit
the only musicians around talented enough to
play it and crazy enough to sign on. Step 3:
Make a record, launch an international tour and
brace yourself. Filmed with uncommon access,
How To Grow A Band provides a rare look at
the start of Punch Brothers, one of America’s
most promising young bands and explores the tensions that test young artists: individual talents and group identity, craft and
commerce, innocence and wisdom. (USA, 2011, 88 min., color / Director: Mark Meatto)

AN EVENING WITH DEAN HASPIEL
J
oin us for a lively conversation with award-winning artist and writer Dean Haspiel, whose
career has stretched from drawing black & white alternative comics in the 1980s to 4-color
superhero comics for Marvel & DC Comics in the 2000s, collaborating with Harvey Pekar on
"American Splendor," and winning an Emmy for HBO'S Bored To Death. Dean will present and
read from some of his classic works, discuss the evolution of his technique with filmmaker
Matthew Berkowitz, and answer questions from
the audience about his amazing career. The
program will be followed by a signing session.
Dean Haspiel created the Eisner Award nominated
Billy Dogma, the semi-autobiographical digital
comic Street Code, helped pioneer personal
webcomics with the invention of Act-I-Vate, won
the 6th Anniversary Literary Death Match in NYC
with his “brute charisma,” and co-created/co-curates Trip City.net, a Brooklyn-filtered,
multimedia salon. Dean has drawn many great superhero and semi-autobiographical
comic books published by Marvel, DC/Vertigo, Dark Horse, IDW, Image, Scholastic
Graphix, Toon Books, Top Shelf, Playboy, New York Times, and Tor.com, including critically
acclaimed collaborations with Harvey Pekar (American Splendor, The Quitter), Jonathan
Ames (The Alcoholic), Jonathan Lethem (Cousin Corinne’s Reminder), Tim Hall (The Last Mortician), and with Inverna Lockpez
on the Harvey Award winning, Cuba: My Revolution. Dean illustrated the Super Ray comics art for HBO’s Bored To Death, winning
an Emmy award for his opening title sequence. Recently, he teamed up with writer Ben McCool to co-create The Five-dimensional
Adventures Of Dirk Davies, an original webcomic (loosely based on the Namco arcade video game, Warp & Warp) for ShiftyLook.
Join legendary artist Dean Haspiel as he presents his work and discusses going from print comic
books to graphic novels to webcomics and beyond

Magical Mystery Tour
Hosted by the Fab 4 Free 4 All
I
n September 1967, in the wake of the extraordinary impact of Sgt. Pepper, The Beatles
made a film this time conceived and directed by them. Based on a loose unscripted
narrative and in the spirit of the experimental mood of the time, the film became the
vehicle to present 6 new songs: “Magical Mystery Tour,” “The Fool On The Hill,”
“Flying,” “I Am The Walrus,” “Blue Jay Way” and “Your Mother Should Know.”
Magical Mystery Tour is a surreal take on the British tradition of a coach trip to the seaside, featuring John, Paul, George and Ringo
as themselves along with an eccentric cast of characters played by professional actors. Other passengers were friends and associates
with family invited along for the ride. They set off from London and headed west down the A30 to Cornwall where most of the film was
shot. Magical Mystery Tour was originally broadcast in black and white at 8.35pm on BBC1 on Boxing Day 1967 to a family audience
expecting a light entertainment special. Whilst the music itself was rapturously received in the form of a double EP the establishment
TV critics, expecting something more in the style of A Hard Days Night and Help!, gave the film poor reviews. As a result of the
controversy the film was not broadcast in the US and only had limited distribution elsewhere. Now, 45 years on, the virtually forgotten
film has been fully restored and is being presented properly for the first time. (UK, 1967, 84 min., color, Blu-ray)
The Fab 4 Free 4 All is a weekly all talk, Beatles and related radio show on the internet. Co-hosts Mitch Axelrod, Rob Leonard, and
Tony Traguardo, focus on topics that span the Beatles’ group and solo careers. www.fab4free4all.com
Songs you’ll never forget, the film you’ve never seen and a story that’s never been heard.
This 1967 psychedelic classic is a must see for Beatles fans.
Long Island Cares will be collecting food donations at this event. Please bring canned and non-perishable food.

SUSHI: THE GLOBAL CATCH
Live via Skype: Filmmaker MARK HALL
A
t this moment there are at least a half dozen sushi restaurants in Huntington. Yum.
Many supermarkets, even Costco, offer take home sushi. Over the past decade,
sushi has entered into the mainstream of U.S. cuisine. Other parts of the world, China
and India, are also developing the taste for raw fish. It’s wonderful for many
gourmands, but as Mark Hall‘s clear, vivid film documents, it has lethal impact on
some species of fish which, in turn, impacts the ecology of the oceans and the planet.
In the first part of Hall’s documentary we watch master sushi chefs–training includes
two years of learning to prepare rice and two years of learning to cut vegetables before
being allowed to cut fish-prepare Blue Fin Tuna sushi. Blue Fin Tuna is the preferred
delight of gourmet sushi lovers. The fish itself swims at the top of the ocean food
chain. Mature adults can weigh over 1,500 lbs. Recently one Blue Fin sold for $400,000. Small wonder Blue Fin Tuna are being fished

and Mediterranean Blue Fin are also endangered. Don’t think, however, that Sushi: The Global Catch advocates banning sushi
consumption. No, it calls for making sushi sustainable. By conscious choices of the fish in sushi and new methods of ranching fish.
In fact, some renowned sushi chefs are lending their support for the sustainable sushi movement. This film offers ways we can all
enjoy this delicacy and preserve the ocean. -Marty Haas (USA, 2012, 75 min., color, Blu-ray / Director: Mark Hall)

RICHARD “THE BELZ” BELZER
J
oin us for rare opportunity to experience an up-close and personal evening with Richard Belzer,
the actor, author, musician, and legendary comic in the lineage of topical, cutting edge artists such
as Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Lenny Bruce. Belzer will present his favorite episode of Law &
Order: SVU, an array of clips featuring his beloved character “John Munch,” and a comedy short –
followed by a fun, free-wheeling and controversial audience discussion. Richard Belzer, known
affectionately as “the Belz,” has been playing the unforgettable role of conspiracy-theorist detective
John Munch for 13 seasons in the hit NBC show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. In fact, Belzer has played “John Munch” on a
record-setting 11 different television series for 20 consecutive years–including Homicide, Law & Order, The X-Files, Sesame Street,
The Wire, Arrested Development and 30 Rock. But of course “the Belz” is also a veteran stand-up comic, starring first in the cult,
counter-cultural classic The Groove Tube, and going on to appear off-Broadway on The National Lampoon
Show with Bill Murray, Gilda Radner and John Belushi and in a series of films, as well in his own comedy specials,
including HBO’s Another Lone Nut. He is also an author of two novels and other non-fiction books.
In his new book, DEAD WRONG: Straight Facts on the Country’s Most Controversial Cover-Ups, Richard
Belzer and his co-author, investigative journalist David Wayne, marshal a host of up-to-date scientific and
forensic evidence, all referenced, to argue that the U.S. government has faked the suicides or mysterious deaths
of politicians, celebrities and government figures – including Marilyn Monroe, Martin Luther King Jr., John F.
Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and others.
Featuring a retrospective of his legendary “Detective John Munch” TV Performances and Comedy Career

I
t Is No Dream is a powerful documentary exploring the life and times of Theodor Herzl,
father of the modern state of Israel. Narrated by Academy Award winner Sir Ben Kingsley
and starring Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz as the voice of Theodor Herzl, the
film examines how Herzl, a well known journalist and playwright, an assimilated, Budapestborn Jew, horrified by the Dreyfus trial in Paris and the anti-Semitism he saw spreading
across Europe, took upon himself the task of attempting to create a Jewish homeland in
Palestine against all odds. Over the span of 8 years, Herzl organized and led a worldwide
political movement that within 50 years led to the establishment of the state of Israel. The
film follows Herzl as he meets with Kings, Prime Ministers, Ambassadors, a Sultan, a Pope
and government ministers from Constantinople to St. Petersburg, from Paris to Berlin, from
Vienna to Vilna in his quest to build a Jewish nation. It Is No Dream features rare archival
film footage of the period and never before seen stills and artifacts. Working with the
Central Zionist Archives in Jerusalem, the production team was given access to the
original manuscripts of Herzl’s plays, diaries and his handwritten version of “Der
Judenstaat.” Written and directed by Academy Award winner Richard Trank, co-written
and produced by two time Academy Award winner Rabbi Marvin Hier, It Is No Dream is
the twelfth production of Moriah Films, the film division of the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

O
ne sister perpetually on the verge of marriage — one perpetually on the
verge of a nervous breakdown. After years of estrangement, these two
unique women reunite in Union Square, a fresh perspective on the highs
and lows of life, love, and family. Jenny (Tammy Blanchard) has shunned
her tumultuous family, seeking a more ordered life far from her roots in the
Bronx. And she’s almost ready to take the plunge with her longtime fiancé
when her sister Lucy (Mira Sorvino) — chaos personified — surprises her at
a pivotal time. A moving, warm exploration of the surprisingly deep bond
between sisters, Union Square shines a distinctive light on the truths that we
struggle to hide from those closest to us — and from ourselves. Also
starring Michael Rispoli, Daphne Rubin-Vega, and Patti LuPone.
(USA, 2011, 80 min., color, Blu-ray)

ome Movie Day is an international
celebration of amateur films and filmmaking held annually at many local venues worldwide.
Home Movie Day events provide the opportunity for
individuals and families to see and share their own
home movies with an audience of their community,
and to see their neighbors' in turn. It's a chance to
discover why to care about these films and to learn
how best to care for them. Your home movies are probably a lot more interesting than you remember! Home
Movie Day is an opportunity to see your very own
films in an open screening. If you have home movies on film that you've never seen,
or haven't watched since you inherited them from your grandparents—don't let your
films decay! Take them to Home Movie Day!
"Home Movie Day is important because our lives, our recollections,
and our truth is recorded in home movies.
One day, what the heck, c'mon!" —Steve Martin
"There's no such thing as a bad home
movie. These mini-underground opuses
are revealing, scary, joyous, always
flawed, filled with accidental art and
shout out from attics and closets all over
the world to be seen again. Home Movie
Day is an orgy of self-discovery, a
chance for family memories to suddenly
become show business. If you've got one,
whip it out and show it now."
—John Waters

The Classics
Directed by Jacques Rivette
New 35mm prints
of the masterpieces of cinema
Thursday, October 18 at 7:30pm
CÉLINE AND JULIE GO BOATING
L
ike a Borges story swathed in a silk kimono, the maze-like turns of the epic-length
Céline and Julie Go Boating are so welcomingly sensual, you’ll be just as likely to
laze in the film’s warm beauty as you will be to decipher its Byzantine puzzles. A story
about story-telling, Jacques Rivette‘s self-referential classic centers on the fanciful
world of two women literally lost in the stories they tell each other. Julie (Dominique
Labourier) sees Céline (Godard regular Juliet Berto) — for the first time — as she’s
dazedly staggering through a park. But then, as they rapidly become best friends, the
weird connections proliferate: Julie is hooked on magic, Céline is a professional magician
(with a haughtily bizarre act); Céline pretends to be Julie at a meeting with an old flame,
Julie hilariously and disastrously subs for Céline at an important audition; and they both take turns as the nanny at the house Céline
had been fleeing from originally. Céline and Julie go from sharing a story about a haunted house to being part of a story about a haunted
house — or is it a real haunted house that has been called up by the story? The film blurs the line between the telling of the story and
the story itself, as Céline and Julie, like Alice in Wonderland, become part of a surreal parallel universe; also like Alice, they ultimately
become the heroines of the story that first imprisoned them. Rivette celebrates the magic of stories, and more broadly of imagination,
adventure, and friendship, as essential elements of life. Farce, puzzle, fairy tale, Alice in Wonderland, Alfred Hitchcock, and female
buddy picture all at once, Céline and Julie do go boating, but “aller en bateau” also means colloquially to be “taken for a ride.” Céline
and Julie Go Boating was Rivette’s biggest commercial hit in France, yet remains sadly unreleased on DVD in this country, so seize the
chance to catch this master stroke of whimsy and wonderment on the big screen! (France, 1974, 193 min., color, 35mm)
Legendary French New Wave master Jacques Rivette’s playful masterpiece takes us into the

narchic, feisty but growing old, high society drop-out Judy Haussman remains in spirit
with the Ashrams of the 1960s while holding court in her dilapidated Art Deco house on
the Devon coast. After an operation, she’s joined by wayward offspring Nick and Libby,
sharp-eyed granddaughter Summer, local doctor Peter, and Daniel, a troubled teenager who
makes use of the family’s crumbling swimming pool. Together they share a few sweltering
months in this chaotic world of all-day drinking, infatuations, long-held resentments, free
love and failure. One of Britain’s best-loved and most versatile actors, Julie Walters has
won BAFTA, Golden Globe and Olivier Awards for her work. Her screen credits range from
Educating Rita to celebrated work with Victoria Wood, from lead roles in the movies of
Mamma Mia! and Harry Potter to portraying Mo Mowlam for Channel 4. Rory Kinnear
recently won the Evening Standard Award for Best Actor for his performance as Hamlet at
the National Theatre. Helen McCrory’s acclaimed work includes the films The Queen and,
recently, Hugo. (3 hours (estimate) including host introduction and one 20-minute

lton John’s range of musical contributions to rock, pop, stage, and films are
endless, as seemingly is his energy level when he performs. His collaborations with gifted
lyricists are also responsible for his music’s popularity over the years. Since covering his
whole career in one two-hour program would not give this artist his proper due, this program
will focus only on the early years, from 1969 until 1979, when Elton John’s prolific list of songs
covered a wide range of topics that included civil rights, gay rights, tributes to Hollywood
celebrities, love, and perceptions about life. In addition to rare performances from before he
became famous, this amazing evening will focus on the time after Elton John’s session work
with The Hollies and Manfred Mann, among others, and his own band Bluesology, and
spotlight his collaboration with Bernie Taupin. Some of the highlights will be Rocket Man,
Levon, Crocodile Rock, Honky Cat, Candle in the Wind, Bennie and the Jets, Daniel and Your Song, and many more. This thrilling
program will include television performances, live concerts, studio performances, and promotional films, including some featuring
surprise celebrities who performed with Elton. See how Elton John’s over-the-top, flamboyant costumes, and all-out performances set
the bar for theatricality very high with exaggerated glasses, sequined hats, and the like. Come for a great evening with Captain
Fantastic, and join Rock Legends Live’s tribute to Elton John. See why Elton sold more than 250 million albums in his 40-year career
and won multiple awards that include Grammys, Brit Awards, a Golden Globe, and a Tony. (approximately 90 min.)

RARE MOVIES FROM THE NATIONAL FILM REGISTRY
F
ormed in 1988, the National Film Registry is a list of films determined to be
“culturally, historically, or esthetically significant” by the Library of Congress.
Each year 25 new titles are added to the list, which now numbers 575 individual films.
Many of the titles are familiar ones like The Wizard of Oz, but the Registry embraces all
types of film. Many are shorts, once a mainstay at theaters, but today a niche
category. This program indicates some of the breadth of the National Film Registry.
A Trip Down Market Street (12 min) 1906 – 35mm • The Miles Brothers were
one of the first to bring movies to the West Coast. This film, intended to celebrate their
new movie studio, placed a camera on the front of a 1906 Market Street cable car.
Study of a River (16 min) 1996 – 16mm • Experimental filmmaker Peter Hutton
shoots landscape films that evoke the early days of cinema. Shot over several months, this title focuses on the Hudson River.
Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor (16 min) 1936 – 16mm • Popeye the Sailor’s first color film is a Technicolor
extravaganza twice as long as his usual cartoons. It was a phenomenal hit, with some theaters even billing it as their featured attraction.
Scratch and Crow (5 min) 1995 – 16mm • An animated film by Helen Hill. Her work is quirky and exuberant, with bold colors and
a strong sense of humor. She became a role model for animators who wanted to express themselves outside of the studio system.
The Jungle (22 min) 1967 – 16mm/DVD (TBC) • An gripping documentary about teen gangs in Philadelphia by Harold Haskins,
an activist fighting gang violence. Rather than hire outsiders, Haskins recruited gang members to tell their own story.
Pass the Gravy (20 min) 1928 – 16mm • Max Davidson was a Jewish ethnic comedian who starred in a dozen films for the Hal
Roach Studio. This is a very funny film about feuding neighbors, a prize chicken, and a Sunday afternoon feast that turns sour.
A Trip Down Market Street & Pass The Gravy will feature Live Musical Accompaniment by Ben Model

organ is a love story about rediscovering what’s really
important in life. Morgan Oliver has recently become a
paraplegic following a horrific bicycle racing accident. Formerly an
accomplished athlete, his frustration at his newly imposed
immobility leads him to sit around, drink beer, and mope. His
supportive mother and best girlfriend Lane are irritated by his fits
of anger and self-pity. One day when he’s wheeling past a
basketball court, he meets Dean—a James Dean look-a-like from
Brooklyn—shooting hoops. Taken with Dean’s good looks and
gentle demeanor, Morgan becomes determined to get his life back on track despite his disability. The two become lovers, and Dean
supports Morgan when he starts training for a wheelchair race on the same course where he had his accident. But when Morgan
disregards his loved ones’ fears and risks his life to win, Dean can no longer help him. Morgan is a powerful story about risk-taking,
selflessness, and love. (USA, 2012, 89 min, color, Blu-ray • Director/Co-writer: Michael Akers • Producer/Co-writer: Sandon Berg • Cast: Leo

A PAGE OF MADNESS
Tuesday, October 30 at 7:30pm

T
einosuke Kinugasa’s little-seen masterpiece, A Page of Madness, is a rediscovered 1926
silent beauty from Japan. Based on a treatment by Nobel Prize winning novelist Yasunari
Kawabata, writer of such classics of modern Japanese literature as Snow Country, Kinugasa’s
self-financed landmark production was a far cry from the theatrically derived Kabuki
adaptations and period swashbucklers being produced at the time. The film takes us deep into
the mind of a retired sailor who has taken a job as a janitor in a lunatic asylum to look after his
insane wife, locked
away after attempting to drown their child. However, a synopsis
of the plot can’t begin to explain the power of the film nor the
audacity of its vision. Full of surreal, spooky imagery, Kinugasa’s
cutting-edge style shows similarities with German expressionism and the French avant-garde. His radical,
frenetic techniques echo the warped, racing and ungrounded imaginations of the characters. At once sad,
tender and disturbing, scenes from the past and present mix together at a mind-spinning pace, propelling
the story without need for intertitles. Kinugasa went on to become one of Japan’s most respected filmmakers,
directing 110 movies including the 1954 Academy Award-winning classic Gate of Hell, but A Page of
Madness was his favorite of all his works. (Japan, 1926, 60 min., b/w, 35mm print from George Eastman House)

MARGARET
W
riter/director Kenneth Lonergan’s last film was You Can Count On Me
which opened to general acclaim back in 2000 and garnered two Oscar
nominations. In 2005 Lonergan shot his follow up film, Margaret, starring a
pre-True Blood Anna Paquin and a supporting cast of indie all-stars. Lonergan
then spent years in the editing room battling with producers over its running time
(there was rumored to be a four-hour cut). Margaret, whose title is derived from
the poem “Spring and Fall: To a young child” by Gerard Manley Hopkins, is a
film of risk-taking ambition that deserves its due as a fascinating and often
wrenching drama of moral crisis in post-9/11 New York. One of the most controversial films of last year and in some critics’ estimation,
one of the best, Margaret centers on Lisa (Paquin) a 17-year-old New Yorker who witnesses – and perhaps plays a part in causing – a
bus accident that kills a woman. Though she is smart and self-aware, this is the first time that Lisa has really been exposed to the raw
viscera of life and death and it affects her deeply. She begins to lash out emotionally at her family and herself while trying to reconcile
her belief that she is somehow responsible for the crash. Margaret is a remarkably human, powerfully acted, film. The acting alone is
worth the price of admission, beginning with Anna Paquin as Lisa, and continuing through J. Smith-Cameron as her mother, Matt
Damon and Matthew Broderick as two of her teachers, Mark Ruffalo as the bus driver, and, above all, Jeannie Berlin, who practically
steals the movie with an indelible performance as the dead woman’s justice-seeking best friend. (USA, 2011, 150 min., color, 35mm)
