08 THU 8:30pm:
“The Dreams of Aleksandr SOKUROV”
Film Retrospective coinciding with the
Russian Dreams Exhibition at the Bass Museum of Art
Aleksandra (Александра) (Russia/2007)
With Galina Vishnevskaya, Vasily Shevtsov, Raisa Gichaeva

Starring Russia’s opera legend Vasila Vishnevskya in a monumental performance, Sokorov’s Aleksandra is a simple story of a down-to-earth grandmother’s visit to her grandson’s military camp during the war of Chechnaya (but it is barely recognizable as such, so could be a war anywhere). But it is also a story of the ugliness of war, without ever actually depicting battle scenes, and the totality of the war experience and loss of basic humanity, as told through the intimacy of a grandmother and grandson’s relationship. In Russian with English subtitles.
Official Selection: Cannes Film Festival
“A film of startling originality and beauty”—Manohla Dargis NY Times
“MASTERFUL! Crisply shot and impeccably framed, with an audio tapestry as densely woven as any by David Lynch or Gus Van Sant”—Village Voice
“A POWERFUL and PUZZLING EXPERIENCE. . .Sokurov’s films literally don’t belong in the same conceptual universe as American-European narrative cinema and don’t play by its rules.”—Salon

The Brilliant Light of Carlos REYGADAS
Japón
(Mexico/2002)
With Magdalena Flores, Alejandro Ferretis

In his debut filmmaking effort, Carlos Reygades burst upon the international festival circuit as the new master of moving images in Mexico. A man leaves Mexico City for the remote countryside to prepare his own death. In the heart of an immense canyon he finds lodging with an old widow in her humble home. He then confronts the power of nature and the woman’s infinite humanity. With a style reminiscent of Andrei Tarkovsky - Reygadas seminal cinematic inspiration – Japón’s design evokes the physical and emotional ties between the characters, nature and the landscape. (Also see Battle in Heaven and Silent Light.) In Spanish with English subtitles.
WINNER: Best First Work, Best Screenplay Ariel Awards Mexico
Camera d’Or Special mention Cannes Film Festival
New Directors Award Edinburgh Film Festival

Harvard Beats Yale 29-29
(Kevin Rafferty/2008)
With Tommy Lee Jones, Brian Dowling, Frank Champi, Meryl Streep

HARVARD STADIUM, NOVEMBER 23, 1968: for the first time since 1909, the football teams of Harvard and Yale are undefeated as they meet for their final game. Yale is heavily favored, with Brian Dowling, its captain and quarterback, satirized in classmate Garry Trudeau’s Doonesbury strip. Harvard’s lineman is Tommy Lee Jones —Al Gore’s roommate. Kevin Rafferty (ATOMIC CAFÉ) intercuts original footage with the hilarious, suspenseful recollections of the 50 men who played in what has become one of college football’s most famous games.
“The best football game I ever saw. . . for pure narrative beauty, culminating in the athletic equivalent of a MULTIPLE ORGASM, it wasn’t just the best game I ever saw – it was THE BEST GAME THAT EVER WAS. . . Now you, too, can experience the magic.”– Hendrik Hertzberg, The New Yorker online
“PREPOSTEROUSLY ENTERTAINING. . . A narrative that pulses with the artful, exciting beats of a thriller.” –Manohla Dargis, New York Times
“The best football movie I’ve ever seen!”– J. Hoberman, The Village Voice
