Centering on events in the lives of Bobby’s colorful Bronx family, the film is a glittering valentine to the movie stars, socialites, playboys, debutantes, politicians, and gangsters who epitomized the excitement and glamour of the age. Bobby’s family features his relentlessly bickering parents Rose (Jeannie Berlin) and Marty (Ken Stott), his casually amoral gangster brother Ben (Corey Stoll); his good-hearted teacher sister Evelyn (Sari Lennick), and her egghead husband Leonard (Stephen Kunken).

Ellis Auditorium Course Syllabus, Spring 2017 READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY! Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term! This is not a traditional class, therefore it is important for you to review the course assignments and due dates carefully to ensure that you fulfill all the requirements to earn the grade you desire. We want the Cinema Series to be both entertaining and enlightening for students and community alike. Welcome to our college film club! COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

Massive amounts of 35mm film were packed neatly in unwieldy padlocked metal cans and sent to a world’s worth of neighborhood cinemas. During my tenure at a local multiplex, a particularly long movie about a boy wizard resulted in a particularly massive film print. I managed to get this print halfway up a particularly steep staircase before tumbling bow-tie first down to what I feared was my doom but was, in fact, a conveniently placed pile of industrial sized bags of Orville Redenbacher. After that, I left it to our fearless projectionists to struggle them up the stairs to dimly lit projection booths. There, hunched over miles of celluloid, they would work into the wee hours of the morning – steady hands and bleary eyes assembling a new adventure. Such was the weight of storytelling. And the enormity of it made sense to me. Should one be able to lose the life and times of Charles Foster Kane if it slides down into that little space between the entertainment center and the wall? Emily Beck FARGO THEATRE Should the battle against an evil galactic empire be shipped in a standard packing envelope lined with those delicious little bubbles? Executive Director Isn’t it only fitting that the epic journey to return The One Ring (back to the fiery chasm from whence it came) be so enormous it could topple a teenager in an usher’s tuxedo made entirely of polyester?

  • HENRY FOOL USA 1997 137 Min. Farbe
    HENRY FOOL USA 1997 137 Min. Farbe OmU Verleih : polyfilm, Wien Hal Hartley pur: klug, zynisch, komisch, und eine Spur tragisch. In Henry Fool trifft schräge Tristesse auf gerissene Durchtriebenheit, sind die Menschen weder schwarz noch weiß, sie fluchen, trinken, leben, lieben, atmen, hintergehen einander und versuchen dem täglichen Einerlei etwas Lust abzuringen. Simon ist einsam, verklemmt, scheu und arbeitet bei der städtischen Müllabfuhr. Die paar Dollar, die er damit verdient, muß er mit seiner manisch depressiven Mutter und der nymphomanischen Schwester teilen. Im Keller haust Henry, Biertrinker, Kettenraucher, Egomane, selbsternannter Literat und Frauenbetörer. Das schlichte Gegenteil von Simon. Henry schreibt - wahrscheinlich seit Jahren - seine Memoiren, ein Gekritzel, das dereinst die Welt erschüttern soll, so epochal, das auch Henry daran zerbrechen wird. Henry hält Simon zum Schreiben an und dieser landet mit der Unverfrorenheit des Anfängers einen Bestseller, der im Internet veröffentlicht wird und ihn über Nacht zum Star macht. PALME FÜR DAS BESTE DREHBUCH in Cannes 1998 Hal Hartley über Henry Fool: "Ich wollte eine Geschichte über Ehrgeiz, Talent und Einfluss machen. (...) Mich beschäftigte folgende Frage: Was passiert, wenn dein wichtigster Einfluss jemand ist, für den du dich eigentlich schämst, den als Vorbild anzuerkennen dir peinlich ist. (...) 'Faust' und 'Kaspar Hauser' waren Quellen. Ich habe sie nicht vollständig übernommen, aber bei der Lektüre erschienen sie mir als hilfreiche Startpunkte für meine Charaktere. Ich wollte, dass sie mythische, weit angelegte Charaktere werden, alle Komplexitätsschichten sollten intakt sein. (...) Ich habe mich auch auf das Verhältnis zwischen Joyce und Beckett bezogen - ohne mich wirklich genau an das zu halten, was ich darüber wusste."

  • Fay Grim' Hal Hartley Takes Familiar Faces in a Totally Different Direction
    MOVIE REVIEW 'Fay Grim' Hal Hartley takes familiar faces in a totally different direction. By Kevin Crust Times Staff Writer May 18, 2007 Hal Hartley's dark comedy "Henry Fool" was an indie masterpiece that effectively and accessibly meshed Hartley's literary influences with his specific minimalist style and some of the most memorable characters of the last decade. Now, Hartley takes the characters he created for that world and launches them into a surprisingly different direction in "Fay Grim," a worthy follow-up and rare art house sequel. "Fool," released in 1998, was a leap forward for Hartley, building on his quirkier early work and taking it to a more substantial place. Featuring stage actors James Urbaniak and Thomas Jay Ryan as Simon Grim and Henry Fool, respectively, the film turned on the awakening of garbage man Simon's hidden poetic talents that bloomed under the urging of the Faustian drifter, Henry, whose lowly status and appearance belied his epic braggadocio. The Beckettesque duo, along with Parker Posey as Simon's sister Fay, who becomes the title character in the new movie, gave physical life to Hartley's complex and unabashedly intelligent characters. When we last saw our antiheroes, Simon had won the Nobel Prize for his profane and controversial poetry, Henry had fled murder charges by allegedly going to Stockholm using Simon's passport, and Fay was left with a young son after Henry had impregnated and married her seven years earlier. The handwritten, multipart opus Henry had been flouting, "The Confessions of Henry Fool," was largely thought to be a horrible novel, literary excrement perpetuated by a vulgar man with a vivid imagination.

    The Repetition of Difference: Marginality and the Films of Hal Hartley NEWCAOTLE UNIVErOITY LIDRAfY 200 13901 0 'The\ Lb8L,Jo Lesley Deer PhD Thesis September 2000 Centre for Research into Film The University of Newcastle upon Tyne But you know, everyone really only makes one film in his life, and then he breaks it up into fragments and makes it again with just a few little variations each time. Jean Renoir' 'From preface to Flirt screenplay (Hartley 1996: vii). ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I wish gratefully to acknowledge the Arts and Humanities Research Board of the British Academy for assisting the production of this thesis with a Postgraduate Studentship. Thank you to my supervisor, Prof Phil Powrie, for keeping me on track, to Prof. Keith Reader for mentoring my teaching, and to all of the staff connected to the University of Newcastle upon Tyn&s Centre for Research into Film. Thanks also go to Paul Bishenden, Mike Heath, Celia Shephard, and my family, for their help and support. ABSTRACT THE REPETITION OF DIFFERENCE: MARGINALITY AND THE FILMS OF HAL HARTLEY Hal Hartley is prominent within the recent rise of the independent film-making movement in America. This thesis is centred around the issues of repetition, difference and marginality which characterise his films. Marginality inhabits Hartley's position as an American independent who makes a European art-house style of film. He is an auteur who articulates his influences through his reference to Godard. Marginality is also the dominant characteristic of those who people Hartley's films. Difference, which is marginality pushed to its greatest extent, is further imposed upon Hartley's characters.
