downfall in a mmer be{itting a

bloody Shakespearian tragedy. This is a

fairly early ef{ort by Japan's most

prolific auieur; that said, it is still the

14th {ilm in his impressive md

exaggerated camerawork, gtls

Japmese director Takashi Miike's AUDITION will mess you up, and that's no lie..lt gnaws on your mind like a

iutnish.d lurua *d you cm fully expect to have a rough time of it later, whtn you close your eyes.and try to.sleep

That,s when the drems will likely arrive, md why not? AUDITION, a horror.film masquerading as a_deepl,v

disturbine meditation on the war between the sexes, is itsel{ more dream-like thm real. Like the best of David

Lynct, yJu're never quite sure if what you're seeing is really happening, oI if it's some aw{ul hallucinatory

episode, a sklpping reiord lodged in the protagonist's warped and stuttering mind. Miike was a Cames {avorite

mth AUDITIb\ ind h.'s o riajor mover in ihe lapmese tihn industry but he's virtually unknown stateside

AUDITION should help alleviate that sorry situation. Apart from the film's cming willfully surreal atmosphere,

it's also beautiful to look at (up mtil the scene wi@

THT HAPPIIITSS ll] IHT IfiTAKURIS

THE HAPpINESS OF THE KATAKURIS is a joyously demented musical-conedy built on a macabre ioundation,

like THE SOUND OF MUSIC with a kickline of corpies. On a remote country plot nestled mong rollinghiiis and

mountatn peals, the Katakuri Iamily pusues its sfared dream o{ opening a quaint€uesthouse for tourists. They

each haveieason to escape tleir {omer lives; but their bad fortme gets worse when_ their first guest commits

suicide, Iollowed shortly-by the death ol a Sumo wrestler looking for a good time with his underage girlfriend.

Rather than call the police and roin their new business, the Kataliuis decide to quietly dispose o{ the momting

pile of bodres. Against this grim backdrop, Mrike's hdomitable characters burst into {mtasy md song, swept

llnnn bv a sumi-side opti-riism that's cheerfully oblivious to a dire set of cirmmstmces. Miike isn't exactly

Stanl"evbonen, 6ut his simple md mrefined choreography has m element of spontaneity that's consistently

surprisilg md delightful. Even if the rcad to happinesiis-litt'ered

with msightly obstacles, he makes it one worth

GITY 0r 10sT souCITY OF LOST SOULS (AKA HMARD CITY) is another tour de force lrom Japm's premier visual stylist o{ the

moment, a turbo-charged piece of blood-drenched gmgster lunacy set against the backdrop of Rio, okinawa and

Tokyo's Shiniuku distrlct. Loosely adapted fron the novel by Seishu Hase, ClTY..plmges straiSht into the actionin lr4iiket om inimitable style: our hero Mario is mleashed from jail md sets out straight away on an airborne

mission bv hehcopter to retrieve his Chinese moll from a busload oI illegal aliens on their way to being dePorted.

Once back in Tokyo the hvo get caught in the crossfire between a cocaine smuggling Chlnese Triad md a sadistit

Yakuza boss and"his

henchmar in a brutal stmd-o{f that will ultimately leave the streets of Shinjulu strewn with

corpsesbefore the fiJm's grisly resolution. Therc'sno prctense as to whatthis filn's all about, afast-Paced actionel

If David Lynch moved to Japan md started making yakua

gangster thriller:, the resull miBht be COZU. The latest film

the {atherless offspring o{ some illicit midnight mion

Ozaki mistakes a Chihuahua for a "yakuza attack dog", md then neuhalises the tlueat with himilable

overkill, GOZU takes no prisoners. It focuses on the hadihonal yakua movie themes of loyalty,

camaraderie, and a blood-soaked code of honour, witl Miike taking Minami on a joumey into his gult-

ridden psyche as he's forced to kill the man he calls brother Trapped in a psychotic town where no one

is what they sem while semching for Ozalc's nissing corpse, Minami is pursued by a lactating woma&

a trmsvestite coffee shop owner, an American who reads the Japanese dialogue off gimt oe cards, md

a $ostly minotaur's head (the 'gozu' of the title). Miike's filrns have always been edgy affairs, blt none

between Lynch's BLUE VELVET and Muke's om DEAD

OR ALIVE triloev. Opemng witl a scene in which crazy

hive seimecl as rich or as perve"rse as this. A one-way iicket to Weirds'ille, GOZU Proves that Miike is

one of the most consistently imovative md unpredictable directors in the world. (Jamie &ss4!

THE BIRD PEOPLE OF CHINA is a shmge, lyrical comedy

drma that has much in common with the nagic realism of

Wemer Herzog. Masahiro Motoki plays Wada, a Japanese

businessmm who is sent to rural China to seek out some rare

jade for his compmy. As he and his guide Shen begin their

journey into the mourtains, they arejoined by a tough Yakuza

whose gang is owed money by Wada's bosses. His mission is

to make sure Wada delivers the jade into the hmds of the

gang, but finding themselves shanded in a remote village,

both men are slowly chmged by their surroundings. In mmy

ways the director's most accomplished work. (The Spinning

Allegedly based on a number of true cases, THE GUYS FROM

PARADISE is a prison story rt in the Phillipines against a

backgromd of comptioo dng haffi&ing md paedophilia.

This being a Takashi Miike film however, the results re far

from conventional. It's es*ntialiy a fi1m of two parts: the first

set in a prison nmed "Paadise" where a srnall commmity of

Japanese prisoners led by veterm riminal Yoshida mjoy a life

of relative freedom and privilege, the second the story of their

exploits outside prison walls with police and a deranged

Yakuza on their hail. (Midni$t Eye)

FULL METAL YAKUZA is part ol Miike's extensive oeuvre of direcfto-video films.

To this day, as intemational critical acclaim for his work increases, the director

continues to make {iims for both cinema and the more exploitationai video market.

In Japan however, this market is on a notably higher level o{ quality thm the DTV

arena in the US or Europe. It is a market that allows gilted yourg filmakers a good

momt of {reedom to experiment. liltered through Japmese sensibilities, the

premise of Vcrhoeven's ROBOCOP is applied to the yakua genre md grven a shong

psycho-sexual mdercurrent. In addition, chmbara swordplay (in expertly directed

action sequences) replaces gunfire md situational comedy replaces ROBOCOP's

more dark and serious overtones. Highly recommended. (Midnight Eye)

IlI l,l'r 1r illr Illr'illr'rlrllilll F

I lli IF :{ li 1l{t I u{tIThe Reagm years were the Golden Age of_teen movies. Wjth a massive disposable income, adolescent spending power dictated that Hollywood direct all its energies to

fleshing out tle fantasies of aater-faced, homy fourteen-year-olds, since tley were the gumanteed demographic for my given multiplex. T|e goal of these filrns: to

overcome class shatificatio4 get populm and get laid. The most superior efforts inevitably suffered from lower box-office. Only Iohn Hughes managed to ride that wave

between goofy md pro{ound rsith anv commercial success. But rather than deconstruct tle era's artistic pretensions (or lack thereof) lett take a few weeks to wallow irsentimental excess. As an added bonus, we'll have hundreds of VHS videos to Eive away FREE from the I Luv Video archives at every screening in this series!

ffiRIVER'S EDGE - Monday, February 21, 7 pm - $1 tix!(d. Tim Hunter,1986,99mi4 R) TimHunterhad already written the mostnihilishc teenmovie inexistence with OVERTHE

EDGE (1980), but mmaged to one-up even himself with this one. We're taken to the river's edge at the begiming of the

fihn, where a big slab of a guy named Samson sits beside the naked dead body of the grrlfriend he hm just decided to

strargle. His impetuous act has a galvmizing effect on his coterie of desensitized wastoids. ln the mind of the group's

speed-freak leader LaJne (Crispin Glover, firing on all si-r), the murder is a good thing a test of the kids' mettle to which

he will rise by hiding the body md protecting Smson. Matt (Keanu Reeves) is initially mbivalent, but later confides in pal

Clarissa (lone Skye of SAY ANYTHING) that he's being shuck by the unfamiliar pmgs of something that could be called a

conscience, md sets about trying to make things right. (Jonathar Bemstein)

FOOTLOOSE - Monday, February 28, 7 pm - $1 tix!(d. Herbert Ross, 1984, 197nin, PG) FOOTLOOSE m one of those films that's both appallingly bad and completely

watchable at the sme time the story of a city kid (Kevin Bacon) who moves to a midwestem Bible Belt town with his

parents - a tolvn where pretty mudr everything is outlawed" especially dmcing md rock music. Bacon's Ren imediately

.:ll.rE*

hies to chmge their backward ways by launching a campaign lor bmds like Men at Work (smple dialogue: "Wlere do

they work?") and The Police. Despite a love affair with the grotesquely unathactive Lori Singer, Bacon carries this movie

with an unending series o{ dance moves that have never be{ore or since been perfomed by a heterosexual man. (Film

Critic.com)

VAttEY GIRI - Monday, March 7,7 pm - $1 tix!(d. Martha Coolidge, 1983, 89min, R) Roneo md JuJiet is upgraded for the 80s in this time-wom taie of two kids in love

from opposite sides of lhe tracks. Collms me up, bikinis ae flamted, best friends m fickle and bad music abomds. Butwhat set VALLEY GIRL apilt from tle rest were its linguistic liberties: not since A CLOCKWORK ORANGE has the screen

hosted such a shameless bastardization of the English lmguage. Your eyes may su{fer from the glaring fashion faux-pas(compared to the Vals even the quincy punks look cool), but you can be certain the film is brimming with inspired dialogue

like: "Fuckyou Julie! Iuck you, for sure, Iike totallyl" As short-iived as it was, the Valiey girl phenom has an enduring place

in pop culture; my 50-year oid mother still says "grody to the max" with regularity. (Kier-La Jmisse)

THE WIID IIFE - Mon, Mar 21,7 pm fof $1 & FRI,3/25 WITH IIAN MITCHELT-SMITH!(d. Art Linson, 1984, 96min, R) Cmeron Crowe's follow-up to FAST TIMES AT RIDCEMONT HIGH is an ofloverlooked

slice of 80s post-graduation melodrama. Nice guy Eric Stolz (who's made every effort to cbange that typecasting with

recent roles) stars as Bi[ a slacker who can't decide what to do after graduathg, dnd is disillusioned byboth ]ife inhis new

badrelor pad and his ex-girlfriend's affair with a cheesy married cop. Beer-guzzling dolt Chris Pem constmtly humiliates

his nerv wave girlfriend (the underused, mderpaid, md underappreciated Jenny Wright) while her geeky boss Rick

Mormis tries to woo her to no avail. But the enduring star of TIIE WILD LIFE is undoubtedly IIm Mitchell-Smith, who

plays Stoltz' Vietnam-obsessed 15-yea old brother Jim. Jim glides tluough the fi1rn like nobody's business, untouched by

the angst that is crippling all his graceless md embmrassing co-chmacters. His idol is a neruous junkie Vet played by Rmdy

Quaid, who is ironically nmed "Charlie". Ever the stickiers for realisnr, Linson and Crowe even went so far as to hire

Eddie Van Halen to score the film, citing that "Vm Halen already creates the soundtrack to mmy kids' Iives." (Kier-La

janisse)

WEIRD SCIENCE - Mon, Mar 28,7 pm for $1 & FRI,3/25 WITH ILAN MITCHEII-SMITH!(d. Johr Hughes, 1985, 94miq PG-13) WEIRD SCIENCE has everything that an eighties comedy ieeds: At least one hot girl, a

{ew actors who are no longer acting or who do anything that will come along plenty of dashing threads, a comy-as-hell eighties

somdhack (and Oingo Boingo is as comy md eighties as they get), and plenty of cheap fumy jokes. (imdb user coment)

as "the other one" nexi to his better knom costar from the filn. Hall went on to be a geek in other teen movies before

finally making his big comeback by plafng the biggest geek of all, Bill Gates, in PIRATES OF SILICON VALLEY But

what happened to Mitchell-Snith? Tums out that he left acting in 1988 so he could foliow his true passions in

Since 2001 the Alamo Drafthouse has been hosting a unique series of exploitation classics culled from private collections, abandonedwatehouses, even dumpsters. We present a peerless selection of horror, sexploitation, action and more, mostly from the golden era of the'60s and '70s. Many of the films are so obscure that little or nothing has ever been written about them. Some of them a.."bud, ull of th.rnareenjoyable,andararefervare_mind-blowinglyamazing. Bestofall,it'sabsolutelyfree. Wethinkofitasacommunityservicelorjadedfilm fans, a heaven-sent escape from the crushing lameness of the real

Cerman sex films have their own.sperial_appeal - a certarn air of goofiness where the ooh la la meets the oom pahpah. Imst Ho{bauer was the D. W. Griffith-of German sex films,-tlie pioneer whose "schoolgirl Report" films gotthe whole ball rolling. Made in docudrama fashion with a priest or sociologist commenting grively 6n the sad stiteof morals in the world today, the_films.were in fact merely excuses foi wall-io-wall skin. Fa"sipaced and very funny,the "report" films have garnered a cult {ollowmg. This is a late entry in the series. By this hne both film-makersand audiences had become numb to the usuaf situations (i.e. schoolgrrl tums tricfts for lunch money etc.) soHofbauer_and company cooked up.this nasty dose o{ cinematic sca& griaranteed to pacify even the mosihopelesssleaze junkie. Get ready for a hard-hitting (complete with wacky musii and sound ef?ects)look at rape, pedophili4devil-wophip, and -1ou u*g{Iot^if

Nowit's.timetoproveit. Here'stheoriginalPREACHERMAN,oneoitheb'iggeJtdrive-in hits ever, a movie that played the Carolinas and Georgia sumirer after summer for the better pari[f a

decade. It's a hicksploitaiion classic that deserves to be better known outside the stock-car circuit. Writer/DirectorAlbertlioiaplays Amos Huxley, a travelingpreacher whose hankering for womenfo( moonshine, and gambling(hereafter re{erred to as "the finer things Ln life") keeps him on the move from one tiny dogwater hamlet to"another]usually at the point of a double-baneled shotgun. fhis is pretty old-school stuff - Viola'knows his Boccaccio andChaucer - but it works. It's a very funny, very well made filnr, loaded with sex, sacrilege and good-natureddepravity. (Lars)

If we ever build a Weird Wednesday Hall of Fame the first thing visitors will see when they walk through the door

is a golden viewlinder and pen to commemorate the great writer/director team of Lee Frost and Wes Bishop who

made the world a better place with such classics as BLACK GESTAPQ DIXIE DYNAMITE, THING WITH TWO

HEADS, and (as co+cripters) RACE WITH THE DEVIL. Here, on the big screen for the first time in many years, istheir first collaboration, a movie that combrnes nudity, monsters and much more. Well O( mainly nudity and

monsters. That's what we call one+top shopping. Screw that running from theater to theater to get both monsters

and nudity. We'lI give you both on the same screen. And for free! And while the monsters may be some of the

cheapesf least convincing monsters you'll ever see, the naked women are unbelievably bodacious in that full-

bodied, pre-Atkins diet, swinging '60s way that rve all know and love. Is it awesome in here or is it just us? (Lars)

]ill$Gll 23: lilil0m] IAlt$ lrsTq a. walerian Borowcyck)An amazing thing happened in the early '70s. Art films and sexploitation mated. The similarities were there

already: the low budgets, the often brutalist technique, the dank, subterranean venues haunted by the ineffable

smells ol urine and marijuana smoke. It's hard to say who made the first move - sex or art. Most of the adult

theaters had started out as arthouses, then when Brigitte Bardot hit inthe mid'60s exhibitors found themselves with

lines around the block. Within a few years WILD STRAT{EERRIES had been usurped by the likes of CHERRY

HARRY AND RAQUEL. But the art-mongers were taking notes too. Emboldened by the more liberal social climate,

their films began to reflect more fiankly erotib themes. And unlike American sex-films with their "all-scar" casts of

scabrous teenlage runaways, the new Euro-sex movies featured some of the most beautiful actresses on the plane!

free of puritanical American mores and, hey look - free of clothing as well. Thus the stage was set for award

winning Polish film-maker Walerian Borowcyck to create his masterpiece IMMOML TALES. This film is classical

smut. The openurg montage armounces its place in the secret history of ideas, with a dizzying assortment of erotic

art and ephemera from throughout history And then on with the show, an anthology of four tales designed to

shock, offend and arouse. Incesf erotic bloodshed, unsanctioned use of fruits and vegetables, and serious papal

misconduct are all served up on a beautifully embossed silver platter Starring Paloma Picasso and a few dozen

other naked Euro-lovelies. (Lars)

ill8Cll 30: lflllllAPPtD C0t0 ftsTo d. Frederick Friedel)In the '70s, Times Square was a seedy open-air sex and drugs marketplace. And the real hofspots were the 24-hour

"grindhouse" movie theaters where double features of kung fu, horro4 and sex films unreeled 24 hours a day ior

audiences composed primarily of bitter, sociopathic males. Think Travis Bickle from TAXI DRI\ER and you're on

the right track. It was an audience for which no extreme was too extreme. The audience of "popeyes" would sit

through showing after showing of gory horror, amputee pom and worse, sniffing glue and smoking dirt weed.

There-was enough existentiai nausea in any given foot of Times Square to make jean Paul Sarhe toss his crepes in

the nearest clogged and overflowing urinal. So KIDNAPPED COED must have hit Times Square like an artillery

shell. You can imagine the smell of record cleaner in the theater; you can almost hear the sound oI the butterfly

kniues clackng shu? as the crowd watches in rapt admiration. Not'since the films of Jean-Pierre Melville had there

been an antihero quite like Jack Cannon, a self-loathing kidnapper whose victim is stolen arvay from him by the

mob, leading to a bloody showdown. This is powerful stuff rough around the edges but pnmal. If it had been

made in France it probably would have been acclaimed a masterpiece of postwar alienation. Thank God it wasn't

made in France. (Lars)

BRIGHTO]I RllGKD0t{llilWil Tlrul$dor lGlruary 2f r llm(1947 d. John Boulting 92 min) A superb new print of the film voted the greatest British Noir of all tme by The Guordianl Loaded with gloomy menace,

BRICHTON ROCK is one o{ Britain s most powedul fiim noirs. slashing away the seaside's boozy bon}romie to reveal a sleazy criminal underbelly. 24"year

old Richard Attenborough gives the performance of his life as vicious teenaSe gmgster, Pinkie, a razo!-wielding sociopath who can't abicie smokhg and

drinking but has no qualms about cold-blooded murder Whilst ming a prottrhon racket on the racecourseg htimidation becomes murder and the only

wihrcss is Rose, a naive waitress who loves sadistic Pinkie. Krowing a wife cm't give evidence against her husbmd he maries her, but murder is sti11 on his

nind. Made with a raw energl by the Boultint brothers, BRIGHTON ROCK enbodies the blea( seedy Englishness of pubs, bank holidays and B&Bs. They

nade a film shocking in its bntality, the fore]mer of hard-boiled gangster classic CET CARTER and morc than a match for LOCK STOCK AND TWO

SMOKINC BARRELS. Adapted by Graham Greene from his classic novel, the corrosive soeenplay was co-written by Tenence Rattigm md doesn't flinch

Irom the book s themes of Catholicism, sin and redemption. Like a failen angel, psychopathic Pinkie believes in damation and his icy gaze never wavers

from the rcad to hell. Phkie's cruelty won't end with the final credits; the lasi scre has i ru thlesly cynical sting in the tail. (Brihsh Film lnstitute)

No submission process. No censorship. Anything goes. Two Note Solo's OPEN SCREEN NIGHT

is quickly becoming the siuff of legend. What began as a way of sharing dreesy movies we made

in high school has grown into a springboard for up-and-coming filmmakers and a place where

experienced video producers can experiment with new projects with the benefit of an eager

audience. One group of regular OSN contributors has gone on to find fame and maybe some

eventual fortune at Atom Films, anoiher was recently hired io produce video content for MTV,

another team landed the animated short they debuted here in this year's Spike & Mike festival,

and the show has also helped groups of filmmakers eam their very own showcase nights at ihe

Alamo. Of course, if you don't take yourself that seriously, you can still show us your high school

video projects. Either way, if the audience likes what you bring to show us, they'll reward you

with $100 in cash, and iI they're bored by it, they'Il probably gong your movie off the screen. The

crowd demands constant entertainment, and we've fomd that most OPEN SCREEN NIGHTs

deliver thai in spades.

For more in-formation on how the show works, or to check out some of the movies that have

shown there in the pas! check out wwwopenscreennight.conr, and start planning out what

movie you're going to show
