Beats Being Dead (Etwas Besseres Als Den Tod)
2/10/12
7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Paramount Center
The Bright Family Screening Room2011, Germany A convicted killer escapes from a country hospital—situated on the outskirts of a small city in the middle of the Thuringian Forest, a mythical region full of legends and superstition—at the start of Petzold's genre-bending, wonderfully unpredictable Beats Being Dead. But the film soon comes to center on the story of two star-crossed lovers: Johannes (Matschenz), a shy young hospital orderly, and Bosnian refugee Ana (Mijovic), whom Johannes nobly rescues from the clutches of her abusive biker boyfriend. In the background, a police manhunt proceeds apace, while in the foreground Petzold reminds us there is sometimes nothing as dangerous as first love. Special thanks: Karin Oehlenshlager and Detlef Gericke-Schönhagen, the Goethe Institut Boston. Film notes adapted from New York Film Festival.

The Bright Family Screening Room2011, Germany. In the trilogy's second chapter, Jo (Hain), a big-city police psychologist, arrives in Dreileben to aid in the ongoing investigation, whereupon she finds herself greeted coolly by the local authorities but welcomed by Vera (Wolff), a college friend who lives nearby with her husband, a pretentious author. As the girlfriends reminisce about bygone days and discover they were both once in love with the same man, Graf deftly juxtaposes their personal drama against the search for a killer, a police corruption scandal, and a possible case of interspecies transmutation—all underlining the trilogy's recurring themes of false appearances and deeply hidden truths. Special thanks: Karin Oehlenshlager and Detlef Gericke-Schönhagen, the Goethe Institut Boston. Film notes adapted from New York Film Festival.

2/11/12

Paramount Center
The Bright Family Screening Room1985, U.S. Inspired by their strange dreams and enabled by their precocious scientific genius, three boys (including River Phoenix and Ethan Hawke in their debut feature roles!) build a spaceship and embark on a fantastic adventure to another galaxy. An Eighties children's fantasy classic—and a cult favorite among Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Howling) followers—Explorers is a "wacky comedy-thriller [that] never degenerates into Spielbergian sentimentality, but mixes its inventive originality with a winning self-deprecating irony. It looks terrific, moves along at a gallop, and is marvelously good-natured" (Time Out).

2/11/12
8:45 pm - 10:00 pm
Paramount Center
The Bright Family Screening Room2011, Germany The trilogy comes to a nail-biting close with Hochhäusler's thriller, which brings escaped felon Molosch—a peripheral character in the first two parts—into sharp focus. Hot on the escapee's trail, grizzled police inspector Marcus (Kirchberg) tries to put himself inside the mind of the criminal, while the isolated Molosch (Kurt) flees deeper into Dreileben's possibly enchanted forest, where he has an unexpectedly tender encounter with a young runaway—scenes that echo the Frankenstein story and transform One Minute of Darkness into a dark, memorably strange fairy tale. Special thanks: Karin Oehlenshlager and Detlef Gericke-Schönhagen, the Goethe Institut Boston. Film notes adapted from New York Film Festival.

2/17/12
6:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Paramount Center
The Bright Family Screening Room"GOLDEN HOUR" - Film as a Looking Glass.
2009-2012, U.S. A lyrical filmmaker as well as a sound and visual artist, Robert Todd has made more than sixty films over the past two decades. His visually stunning body of work, not easily defined or categorized, comes from a deeply personal place, which is quiet, thoughtful, and curious.
An illuminated labyrinth of selected reflections from 2009-2011. What if the Looking Glass were, at the same time, a window and a mirror: if the window was the mirror, the mirror the window? And your projection through this transparent/reflective plane did bring you to a world that is as externally rich as the self – in its internal churnings shifting through dark and light – directs it to be; the self and the world open to each other, if but for a moment? And that window offers itself to you as a space in your life, held shimmering in your being and your vision throughout that sustaining moment, that golden hour. – RT

The Bright Family Screening RoomGotta Dance: The American Movie Musical 1929-1953
1934, U.S. The third film version of Franz Lehar's 1907 operetta, MacDonald and Chevalier's fourth and final film together, and Lubitsch's last operetta, The Merry Widow is hailed by critics as the best of its kind, "the sexiest musical of the thirties—perhaps the sexiest musical ever" (Nancy Schwartz, Film Comment). Roguish Captain Danilo (Chevalier) is commissioned by the king of Marshovia to win the heart of Madame Sonia, the eponymous widow (MacDonald) whose plans to remarry in Paris would destroy her mythical kingdom (she owns 52 percent of the country's wealth). Danilo and Sonia's blossoming romance unfolds within the movie's rich confection of Lehar's lilting music, Lorenz Hart's risqué lyrics and Lubitsch's sophisticated touch. The director's celebrated wit, slyly insinuating at what goes on behind closed doors, is in full flower, "but his genius is most evident in the film's final poignancy—a farewell to the genre he helped to create" (Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader).

2/18/12

The Bright Family Screening Room1986, U.S. Reiner's heartfelt rites-of-passage drama follows a group of young boys in search of a missing teenager's body in a small woodsy Oregon town. Wanting to be heroes, sensitive Gordie (Wheaton), tough guy Chris (Phoenix), flamboyant Teddy (Feldman), and fearful Vern (Jerry O'Connell) set out on an unforgettable two-day trek that turns into an odyssey of self-discovery. Although it was rated R—mostly thanks to its characters' salty language—Stand By Me was nevertheless widely seen by the pre-teen age group its story chronicles, young adults whose deep connection to the film's powerful take on friendship and growing up made it a sleeper hit. Based on the novella "The Body" by Stephen King.

The Bright Family Screening RoomThe Primary Cinema of Robert Drew
Introduced by Adam Tanner, Fellow at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism, Harvard. Tanner served most recently as bureau chief for Reuters in the Balkans after five years as San Francisco bureau chief. Years ago he lived in the same New York City building as Bob Drew.
1960, U.S., For its first subject Drew Associates set out to tell the story of a young man who wanted to be President. His name was John F. Kennedy, and the drama focused on his tough primary fight in Wisconsin. Moving freely with their subjects through a breaking story, Drew and Ricky Leacock followed Kennedy and his opponent Hubert Humphrey, from dawn to dusk, during five days of intense campaigning. With the remarkably candid footage they captured, Drew edited a story that tells itself dramatically with less than two minutes of narration. Primary was immediately recognized around the world as a breakthrough in documentary filmmaking. In Europe "it was received as a kind of documentary second-coming" (Drew)—its rough immediacy is said to have influenced Godard's Breathless. In 1990, Primary was selected for inclusion in the Library of Congress' National Film Registry.

In a film William K. Everson characterizes as a "stark, Warner Brothers type of sex and confession melodrama, but done with the glossier, ladies' magazine approach prevalent at Paramount," Colbert rises from abandoned unwed mother to small-time performer to the lap of luxury as a chanteuse in an expensive night-club. But it's work all the way, and even at the top, Everson notes, "Ricardo Cortez constantly harasses [her] by rasping' But you're a torch singer!' as though she were even lower on the social scale than those two perennial victims of the Hollywood caste system, the whore and the schoolteacher."
