In Search of the Miraculous USA 1967, 29 min, Digital, Dir: Gerard Malangamalanga’s most ambitious film to date, partly inspired stylistically after luchino Visconti’s movie, senso (1954). it deals with an unrequited relationship, thus documenting and preserving even the most remote and minute details of the muse’s life and existence. it is metaphorically a search for what “resists memory.”

For 15 years, dae-su trains his body and his mind for one purpose: payback. When he’s released, daes-u embarks upon a roaring rampage of violent retri-bution, bringing a young sushi chef named mi-do for the ride. What follows is an epic revenge play tragedy that will take dae-su to the absolute limit of sanity. Continuing the revenge theme of last month’s Point Blank, Graphic Content examines translation across national borders; a film import from south Korea and soon to be remade by hol-lywood, in itself an adaptation of the acclaimed Japanese manga by Garon Tsuchiya and by nobuaki minegishi.
ScarfaceUSA 1980, 170 min, Digital, Dir: Brian De Palma20 @ 9PMThe movie that postered a million walls, Brian de Palma’s take on howard hawkes’ oG classic paints a bleak portrait of the american dream through the story of Tony montana, an ambitious Cuban ex-pat who ruthlessly rises to the top of the miami drug world just to be destroyed by his own paranoia and jealousy. at it’s centre is an iconic performance by al Pacino, who turns the acting dial to 11 and spews a stream of classic lines from oliver stone’s rich and expletive- riddled screenplay, while de Palma orchestrates it’s many bursts of violence with gusto. a cocaine-fueled epic, scarface is one of the key films of the 80s and a true cult classic of the gangster genre. ADMISSIoN IS FREE FoR STUDENTS WITH VALID ID.
Mad Dog MorganAustralia 1976, 102 min, Digital, Dir: Philippe Mora 15 @ 11PMThis month metro Bizarro brings you a taste of the wild outback with mad dog morgan. dennis hopper stars as dan morgan, the infamous real-life 1800’s outlaw, an irish immigrant working as a gold digger in the treacherous australian brush. When his comrades reject him, morgan resorts to stealing horses, and is caught and sentenced to jail. after years of abuse and brutality, morgan is released, and falls back into his outlaw ways. soon morgan is wanted at any price, dead or alive, setting the backdrop for this intense and riveting thriller. “an excellent early example of the australian revival, this is a pacy, violent bushranger saga.” (Time out) mad dog morgan was a worldwide theatrical hit in 1977, and was nominated by the australian Film institute awards for Best director and actor in a supporting role.
Chasing Ice Global Visions EncoreUSA 2012, 80 min, Digital, Dir: Jeff orlowski16 @ 2:30PM, 17, 21 @ 9:15PM, 18 @ 7PMnational Geographic’ photographer James Balog was once a skeptic about climate change. But through his extreme ice survey, he discovers undeniable evidence of our changing planet. in Chasing ice, we follow Balog across the arctic as he deploys revolutionary time-lapse cameras designed for one purpose: to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers. Balog’s hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. as the debate polarizes north america, and the intensity of natural disasters ramp up around the world, Chasing ice depicts a heroic photojournalist on a mission to gather evidence and deliver hope to our carbon-powered planet.

Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters Global Visions EncoreUSA 2012, 78 min, Digital, Dir: Ben Shapiro24 @ 1PM, 25 @ 7PM, 26 @ 9:15PM an acclaimed photographer with the eye of a filmmaker, Gregory Crewdson has created some of the most gorgeously haunting pictures in the history of the medium. his meticulously composed, large-scale images are stunning narratives of small-town american life - moviescapes crystallized into a single frame. While the photographs are staged with crews that rival many feature film productions, Crewdson takes inspiration as much from his own dreams and fantasies as the worlds of alfred hitchcock, david lynch, edward hopper and diane arbus. shot over a decade with unprecedented access, the film beautifully bares the artist’s process - and it’s as mesmerizing and riveting as the images themselves.
2013 Fly Fishing Film Festival2013, 110 min, Digital, Dir: Various24 @ 3PMThe international Fly Fishing Film Festival, iF4 for short, consists of a collection of short and feature length films produced by professional and amateur filmmakers from all corners of the globe, showcasing the passion, lifestyle and culture of fly fishing. iF4 is making many stops in Canada and the Usa in 2013 – come out and see what all of the buzz is about
Altered StatesUSA 1980, 107 min, Digital, Dir: ken Russell26 @ 7PMin his screen debut, William hurt plays eddie Jessop, a scientist engaged in a series of sensory deprivation and psychedelic experiments, hell bent on discovering the essence of human existence and the “ultimate truth”, who finds himself unlocking his own genetic structure and reverting to pre-human state. The last film written by Paddy Chayesfky, and British director Ken russell’s only foray into science-fiction, altered states is a head-trip through evolutions back door, overflowing with hallucinatory and religious imagery, as well as a moving look at a marriage pushed to the brink by intellectual obsession.
Meet the Fokkens (ouwehoeren) Global Visions EncoreNetherlands 2011, 80 min, Digital, Dir: Gabrielle Provaas, Ron Schroder, Dutch w/ subtitles24 @ 9:15PM, 25 @ 9PM meet louise and martine Fokkens: 69-year-old identical twins who have worked as prostitutes in amsterdam’s red light district for over 50 years. louise is newly retired due to arthritis (“i couldn’t get one leg over the other”), but martine carries on, unable to support herself on a state pension. Between explicit scenes of her daily grind, she and louise stroll the city in matching outfits, recounting hilariously ribald stories from a lifetime of sex work. an immensely affectionate portrait of two women who have seen and done everything (and everyone), meet the Fokkens is a rollicking and revealing look at the world’s oldest profession in the 21st century.

Dr ZhivagoUSA/ Italy 1965, 197 min, Digital, Dir: David Lean27 @ 7PMBreathtaking landscapes, multiple story arcs covering decades, grand historical themes, 197 minutes of emotional devastation – films don’t get much bigger than this. Based on Boris Pasternak’s famous novel, it is a long and complex journey through the chaos of the First World War and the russian revolution, but at its heart it remains first and foremost a love story. When the passion between lara (Julie Christie) and Yuri (omar sharif), unexpressed for years (an aching two hours in movie time!), is eventually surrendered to, the effect is of a whole nation finally breathing out. (The Guardian).FREE ADMISSIoN

The documentary tells the hitherto unknown story behind an extraor-dinary and desperate fight to bring the truth to light.

Miami ConnectionUSA 1987, 83 min, Digital, Dir: Y.k. kim, Woo-Sang Par29 @ 11PM, APRIL 1 @ 4PMThe year is 1987. motorcycle ninjas tighten their grip on Florida’s narcotics trade, viciously annihilating anyone who dares move in on their turf. multi-national martial arts rock band dragon sound have had enough, and embark on a roundhouse wreck-wave of crime-crushing justice. When not chasing beach bunnies or performing their hit song “against the ninja,” mark (kung-fu master/inspirational speaker Y.K. Kim) and the boys are kicking and chopping at the drug world’s smelliest underbelly. it’ll take every ounce of their blood and courage, but dragon sound can’t stop until they’ve completely destroyed the dealers, the drunk bikers, the kill-crazy ninjas, the middle-aged thugs, the “stupid cocaine”...and the entire miami ConneCTion!!!

miYazaKi and sTUdio GhiBli ToUr: ParT 3our studio Ghibli tour picks up again with three more beautifully animated films from Japan’s most beloved film institution: another fantasy classic from master hayao miyazaki, the fanciful spiritual sequel to last month’s Whisper of the heart, and a rarely seen gem. Venturing further into the Ghibli back catalogue, we invite you to join us as we continue to explore new facets and motifs of such a rich cinematic body of work.
Castle in the SkyJapan 1986, 126 min, 35mm, Dir: Hayao Miyazaki, Japanese w/ English Subtitles28 @ 7PM, 31 @ 1:30PMlong ago, mankind took to the skies in marvel-ous flying cities, but after a mysterious catastro-phe only one remained: laputa. hidden inside of a continual thunderstorm, the eponymous castle in the sky was thought lost until Princess sheeta (voiced by Keiko Yokozawa) and her new friend Pazu (voiced by mayumi Tanaka) arrive there after a bout with air pirates. once they arrive, they begin to uncover the mystery of why this one city remains. another one of studio Ghibli’s earliest successes, Castle in the sky has all of the characteristic tropes of the classic miyazaki film: a strong princess, fascinating aeronautical engineering, and strange creatures.
The Cat ReturnsJapan 2002, 75 min, 35mm, Dir: Hiroyuki Morita, English dubbed29 @ 9:30PM, 30 @ 2:15PM, APRIL 1 @ 7PM, Today just became really bizarre for student haru Yoshioka (voiced by anne hathaway); saving a cat from being run over by a delivery truck was one thing, but now it turns out that the cat in question is the Prince of the Cat Kingdom, and haru is to be married to him! But she hasn’t even had a boyfriend yet...and she’s a human; how is that even supposed to WorK? and why are her ears becoming so furry and pointed? Featuring the return of the stylish, top-hatted feline Baron von Gikkingen (The Princess Bride’s Cary elwes), The Cat returns feels like the funny and adventurous novel started by the main character of studio Ghibli’s Whisper of the heart.
ocean WavesJapan 1993, 72 min, 35mm, Dir: Tomomi Mochizuki, Japanese w/ English subtitles29 @ 2PM, 31 @ 7PM, While waiting at the train station, Taku morisaki (voiced by nobuo Tobita) catches sight of a familiar young woman. This chance encounter takes his memories back to high school, when his best friend Yutaka (voiced by Toshihko seki) introduced him to a beautiful transfer student from Tokyo: rikako. Both friends vie for the affections of the gorgeous new girl, whose pretty appearance hides a conceited, troublesome and melancholic character. The love triangle escalates as rumors circulate around the school and the boys’ friendship becomes strained. rarely seen outside of Japan, ocean Waves is the first Ghibli film directed by someone other than the studio founders. adapted from saeko himuro’s best-selling novel, the film captures the teenage drama with the same artistry and attention to detail one expects from Ghibli’s acclaimed animation team.
a monthly celebration of aesthetically challenged films, hosted live by dave Clarke and Jeff Page (with special sarcastic guests).
