The Films of David O. Russell October 12 – November 25
In honor of Feature VI, the sixth gala in support of Film Streams’ Ruth Sokolof Theater, we’re celebrating the films of our special guest, writer-director David O. Russell. On Monday, November 10, fellow director and Film Streams Board Member Alexander Payne will join Russell onstage at the Holland Performing Arts Center for an engaging conversation. In the past four years, Russell released three films that were adored by critics and audiences alike: THE FIGHTER, SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK, and Spanking the Monkey 1994 AMERICAN HUSTLE. They garnered five Oscar nominations for writing or directing for Russell and nods for actors Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Flirting With Disaster 1996 Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Robert De Niro, and Melissa Leo. Before this Three Kings 1999 impressive streak, Russell was known for subversive comedies that found I Huckabees 2004 smaller, though equally avid, audiences. Russell’s debut, the brave and The Fighter 2010 confrontational SPANKING THE MONKEY, won the Audience Award at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival. FLIRTING WITH DISASTER, the wild 1996 Silver Linings Playbook 2012 road comedy, featured the kind of ensemble cast Russell is now known for, American Hustle 2013 including Ben Stiller, Patricia Arquette, Lily Tomlin, Alan Alda, and more. In 1999, Russell sent up the first Gulf War with THREE KINGS, a satire about war and greed starring George Clooney. The heady comedy I HUCKABEES, with Jason Schwartzman as a sensitive do-gooder who hires existential See reverse side for more detectives, has reached cult status. information and dates. Each of Russell’s films stand as proof that he is a significant filmmaker and each is an example of the kind of substantive, thought-provoking art that is at the heart of Film Streams’ mission.
