6 CAROL Starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara A young woman in her 20s, Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara), is a clerk working in a Manhattan department store and dreaming of a more fulfilling life when she meets Carol (Cate Blanchett), an alluring woman trapped in a loveless, convenient marriage. As an immediate connection sparks between them, the innocence of their first encounter dims and their connection deepens. Carol is forced into difficult choices when her husband takes steps to keep her from seeing her child. Filmmaker Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven, Safe, Velvet Goldmine, I’m Not There) charts subtle shifts of power and desire in images that are alternately luminous and oppressive. Blanchett and Mara are both splendid; the erotic connection between their characters is palpable from beginning to end, as much in its repression as in eagerly claimed moments of expressive freedom. (UK/USA, 2015, 118 min., Rated R, DCP | Dir. Todd Haynes | Cannes Film Festival | New York Film Festival) Brilliant performances by Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara highlight Todd Haynes’ luminous adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s classic novel about two women falling in love in 1950s New York City

YOUTH Starring Harvey Keitel, Michael Caine, Rachel Weisz, Jane Fonda and Paul Dano Fred (Michael Caine), a retired composer and conductor, has been coming to a luxu- ry Swiss Alps resort for decades. Sitting on the immaculate grounds in a comfortable chair, reading his newspaper, he has the air of an Englishman at peace with himself. On the other hand, his bosom buddy Mick (Harvey Keitel), an American filmmaker, is at the spa to finish his new screenplay along with a group of brash young collabo- rators who banter ideas and dialogue back and forth ceaselessly. The two friends are also in-laws, as Fred’s daughter Lena (Rachel Weisz) is married to Mick’s son. As the days pass, they reflect with humor and wisdom on both past and present, on the ways and wiles of the world. Adding color is a motley collection of eccentrics: actors, models, footballers, and masseuses, whose antics populate the film like musical diversions. Ultimately, Youth asks if our most important and transformative experiences can come at any time – even late – in life. (Italy/France/Switzerland/UK, 2015, 118 min, Rated R, In English, Spanish and Swiss German with English subtitles, DCP | Dir. Paolo Sorrentino | Cannes Film Festival | Toronto Film Festival) Two old friends (Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel) reflect on their past, present, and the beauty and absurdity of the world during a vacation in the Swiss Alps, in the lovely and heart-warming new film from Academy Award winner Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty).

THE DANISHWOMAN GIRL IN GOLD Starring Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander The Danish Girl is set in Copenhagen in the 1920s and focuses on a free-spirited couple, both of them painters — he of delicate landscapes, she of portraits. Einar (Ed- die Redmayne), has just had a successful gallery show, but Gerda (Alicia Vikander) struggles to gain attention for her work. One day, Gerda asks her husband to stand in for a female model so she can complete her latest painting. Einar is overwhelmed by the experience of putting on beautiful, feminine clothes, and soon it turns into a quiet obsession. As Einar gradually rediscovers himself, Gerda’s paintings of him as a woman begin to attract serious attention. Gerda balances Einar’s transformation with her new- found acclaim. Einar, meanwhile, finds it impossible to put the genie back in the bottle: She will become Lili Elbe. (UK, 2015, 120 min., Rated R, DCP | Dir. Tom Hooper | Venice Film Festival | Toronto Film Festival) Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) gives a tour de force performance as Lili Elbe, the 1920s Danish artist whose journey from male to female made her a transgender pioneer, in Oscar winner Tom Hooper’s (The King’s Speech) powerful drama 7 Shakespeare’s MACBETH Starring MICHAEL FASSBENDER and MARION COTILLARD

Macbeth, a Thane of Scotland, receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders his king and takes the throne for himself. A thrilling inter- pretation of one of Shakespeare’s most famous and compelling characters, Macbeth is a dramatic reimagining of the realities of war-torn times and a tale of all-consum- ing passion and ambition. (UK, 2015, 113min., Unrated, DCP | Dir. Justin Kurzel | Cannes Film Festival)

Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard star in this intense adaptation of Shakespeare’s legendary story of a fearless Scottish general whose ambitious wife urges him to use wicked means to gain power of the throne

HITCHCOCK/TRUFFAUTWILD TALES In 1962 Hitchcock and Truffaut locked themselves away in Hollywood for a week to excavate the secrets behind the mise-en-scène in cinema. Based on the original recordings of this meeting—used to produce the mythical book Hitchcock/Truffaut— this film illustrates the greatest cinema lesson of all time and plummets us into the world of the creator of Psycho, The Birds, and Vertigo. Hitchcock’s incredibly modern art is elucidated and explained by today’s leading filmmakers:Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Arnaud Desplechin, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Wes Anderson, James Gray, Olivier Assayas, Richard Linklater, Peter Bogdanovich and Paul Schrader. (USA/France, 2015, 80 min., PG-13, In English, French and Japanese with English subtitles, DCP | Dir. Kent Jones)

Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, James Gray, Kiyoshi Kurosawa and others discuss the importance of the epochal book that transcribed the week-long 1962 interview between Alfred Hitchcock and French New Wave luminary François Truffaut

R IR MUSTANG New Film from Turkey E C T O In a village in Northern Turkey, five free-spirited teenaged sisters splash about on the beach with their male classmates. Though their games are merely innocent fun, a neighbor passes by and reports what she considers to be illicit behavior to the girls’ family. The family overreacts, removing all “instruments of corruption,” like cell phones and computers, and essentially imprisoning the girls, subjecting them to endless lessons in housework in preparation for them to become brides. As the el- dest sisters are married off, the younger ones bond together to avoid the same fate. The fierce love between them empowers them to rebel and chase a future where they can determine their own lives in Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s debut, a powerful portrait of female empowerment. (Turkey/France/Germany/Qatar, 2015, 94 min, PG-13, In Turkish with English subtitles, DCP | Dir. Deniz Gamze Ergüven) Five young sisters living in a coastal Turkish village on the Black Sea are placed under the tyrannical regime of traditional morality by their guardians, in the poignant, award-winning first feature by Turkish director Deniz Gamze Ergüven

8 Anything But Silent Silent Classics with Live Theatre Organ Accompaniment by Ben Model CHAPLIN SHORTS Tuesday, December 8 at 7:30 pm • Members $10 | Public $15 In 1916, the Mutual Film Corporation built Charles Chaplin his own studio and he entered a fruitful twelve-month period which he acknowledged to be one of the most inventive and liberating of his career. Chaplin had full control over casting, scripting and directing, and the resulting movies are among his funniest works.

THE RINK is one of Chaplin’s most popular comedies featuring Charlie at his most mischievous and rebellious. He stars as an inept waiter who in a comic highlight prepares the bill of Mr. Stout (Eric Campbell) by examining the soup, spaghetti, melon stains and other remnants on the sloppy eater’s shirt, tie, and ear. After work, he unleashes comic chaos at a skating rink. Chaplin’s agility and grace make The Rink one of his most memorable early comedies. (1916, 30min.)

ONE A.M. is a brilliant solo tour de force of Chaplin’s superb pantomime and comic creativity performed in a restricted space, an experiment that he never repeated. The film’s simple situation revolves around a drunken gentlemen as he arrives home early one morning and tries to get upstairs into bed despite the seemingly opposition of every inanimate object in his house. (1916, 24 min.)

BEHIND THE SCREEN satirizes the unmotivated slapstick that Chaplin disliked when he worked for Mack Sennett. The film is a parody of the knockabout, pie-throwing comedy of the Keystone films. Here, an aspiring actress Edna( Purviance), desper- ate for work, disguises herself as a boy and is hired at the studio where she stirs Charlie’s romantic interest. (1916, 30 min.)

THE IMMIGRANT which contains elements of satire, irony, and romance as well as cinematic poetry, endures in the twenty- first century as a comic masterpiece. The film was Chaplin’s favorite among all his two-reel comedies. Here, two immigrants meet on a boat, part ways, and are reunited by a chance encounter, a menacing waiter, and an artist’s enthusiasm. (1917, 30 min.)

Notes by Jeffrey Vance, adapted from his bookChaplin: Genius of the Cinema Ben Model is one of America’s leading silent film accompanists, and has been playing piano and organ for silent films at the New York MoMA since 1984, and the CAC since 2006. An evening of classic Charlie Chaplin shorts, seen in brand new archival 2K digital restorations, sourced and scanned from multiple 35mm prints from all over the world that will make these classic hilarious films look like new!

Anything But Silent Silent Classics with Live Piano Accomaniment by Andrew Simpson W. C. Fields in 35 SO’S YOUR OLD MAN mm Thursday, December 17 at 7:30 pm • Members $10 | Public $15 W.C. Fields rose to fame as a vaudeville juggler, but his movies forever established him as a duplicitous, bibulous, hilariously foul-spirited idler who’d steal candy from a baby. In So’s Your Old Man, Fields is a put-upon father who triumphantly invents unbreakable windshield glass. But instead of acclaim, he shames his family until a princess comes to his rescue. This is a very rare screening from a comic master known mainly for his work in the talking cinema. (USA, 1926, 73 min. | Dir. Gregory La Cava | Cast: W.C. Fields, Alice Joyce, Charles Buddy Rogers | 35mm print from Library of Congress) Andrew Simpson is Resident Film Accompanist for the National Gallery of Art and regularly featured accompanist for the Library of Congress. He has performed original film scores at the Kennedy Center, AFI Silver Theater, New York Public Library at Lincoln Center, the Giornate del Cinema Muto, and many other venues. A composer, pianist, and organist, Simpson is professor and head of the division of Theory and Composition at the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music of The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. W.C. Fields stars in this hilarious silent comedy about a brilliant inventor who can’t get any respect from his own family until a princess turns the tables on them

The Marx Brothers in AWILD NIGHT TALES AT THE OPERA Celebrating 80 Years of Insanity Thursday, December 10 at 7:30 pm | Member $10 Public $15 Hosted by Film Historian Philip Harwood In 1935, the Marx Brothers: Groucho, Chico, and Harpo (minus Zeppo, who had left the team) had moved from Paramount to Metro-Goldwyn Mayer, and starred in their first film at that studio, A Night At The Opera.

You may ask: • Why did the brothers move from Paramount to MGM? • What did the brothers have to do before filming began? • Did Verdi really write “Take Me Out To The Ballgame”? • How many characters can you really fit inside a small stateroom? • The odd opening of the film? Did it really begin that way? • These questions, and more will be discussed by Film Historian Philip Harwood. Philip Harwood is a Film Historian.

This acclaimed re-imagining of the classic masterpiece by Director Sally Cookson guarantees an exhilarating performance. (UK, 2015, 210 min., NR | Dir. Sally Cookson)

HELEN MIRREN in THE AUDIENCE Monday, December 21 at 7 pm (Encore) $20 Members | $25 Public

Helen Mirren reprises her Academy Award winning role as Queen Elizabeth II in this highly-acclaimed production about the private meetings between the Queen and her Prime Ministers. For sixty years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve Prime Ministers in a weekly audience at Buckingham Palace – a meeting like no other in British public life – it is private. Both parties have an unspoken agree¬ment never to repeat what is said. Not even to their spouses. The Audience breaks this contract of silence – and imagines a series of pivotal meetings be- tween the Downing Street incumbents and their Queen.

“Seijun Suzuki is a master stylist and one of Japanese cinema’s greatest innovators. His work has been a great inspiration to me. A retrospective of his films – fantastic!” – Jim Jarmusch “To experience a film by Japanese B-movie visionary Seijun Suzuki is to experience Japanese cinema in all its frenzied, voluptuous excess.”— Manohla Dargis, NY TIMES

Seijun Suzuki first became famous when he was fired by Nikkatsu Studios for making films that, as he put it, “made no sense and made no money.” But it was his freewheeling approach and audacious experimentation that gained Suzuki a cult following in Japan and abroad. Suzuki’s job at Nikkatsu was to make B movies out of scripts that were assigned to him. In the mid-1960s, Suzuki’s restlessness began to come through as he be- gan experimenting with the assigned material. These films established Suzuki as a stylistic innovator working within—and rebelling against—the commercial constraints of studio work. In the 1990s, a new generation of devotees, most notably Jim Jarmusch and Quentin Tarantino, praised Suzuki in the press and referenced his work in their films.Co-presented with the Japan Foundation.

All shows are regular admission.

Wednesday, December 30 at 7:30 pm 35 GATE OF FLESH mm Part social-realist drama, part sadomasochistic trash opera, Gate of Flesh paints a dog-eat-dog portrait of postwar Tokyo. The film takes the point of view of a gang of tough prostitutes working out of a bombed-out building. When a lusty ex-soldier lurches into their midst, the group’s most sensitive member is tempted to break one of their strictest rules: no falling in love. From the women’s bold, color-coded dresses to the unorthodox use of superimposition effects and theatrical lighting, this is Suzuki at his most astonishingly inventive. Print cour- tesy of the Japan Foundation. (Japan, 1964, 35mm, 90 min., color, Japanese with English subtitles)

TOKYO DRIFTER Wednesday, January 6 at 7:30 pm Tasked with making a vehicle for actor-singer Tetsuya Watari to croon the title song, Suzuki concocted this crazy yarn about a reformed yakuza on the run from his former comrades. The film is mainly an excuse to stage an escalating series of goofy musical numbers and over-the-top fight scenes. Popping with garish colors, self-parodic style, and avant-garde visual design, Tokyo Drifter embodies a late-1960s zeitgeist in which trash and art joyfully comingle. “With influences that range from Pop Art to 1950s Hollywood musicals, and from farce and absurdist comedy to surrealism, Suzuki shows off his formal acrobatics in a film that is clearly meant to mock rather than celebrate the yakuza film genre” (Nikolaos Vryzidis, Directory of World Cinema: Japan). (Japan, 1966, DCP, 83 min., color, Japanese with English subtitles)

14 ACTION AND ANARCHY: THE FILMS OF SEIJUN SUZUKI CARMEN FROM KAWACHI 35 Wednesday, January 13 at 7:30 pm mm A 1960s riff on the opera Carmen (including a rock version of its famous aria “Habanera”), this picaresque tale sends its heroine from the countryside to Osaka and Tokyo in search of success as a singer. Her journey is fraught with exploita- tion and abuse at the hands of nefarious men—until Carmen seeks revenge. Mix- ing comedy, biting social commentary, and Suzuki’s customarily outrageous sty- listic flourishes, this fast-paced gem is an overlooked classic from his creative late period at Nikkatsu Studios. Print courtesy of the Japan Foundation. (Japan, 1966, 35mm, 89 min., Japanese with English subtitles)

BRANDED TO KILL Thursday, January 21 at 7:30 This fractured film noir is the final provocation that got Suzuki fired from Nikkatsu Studios, simultaneously making him a coun- terculture hero and putting him out of work for a decade. An anarchic send-up of B-movie clichés, it stars Joe Shishido as an assassin who gets turned on by the smell of cooking rice, and whose failed attempt to kill a victim (a butterfly lands on his gun) turns him into a target himself. Perhaps Suzuki’s most famous film, it has been cited as an influence by filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino, Jim Jarmusch, Park Chan-wook, and John Woo, as well as the composer John Zorn, who called it “a cinematic masterpiece that transcends its genre.” (Japan, 1967, DCP, 91 min., b/w, Japanese with English subtitles)

The final film by legendary documentarian Albert Maysles (Grey Gardens, Gimme Shelter), Iris profilesIris Apfel, the quick-witted, flamboyantly dressed 93-year-old style maven who has had an outsized presence on the New York fashion scene for decades. More than a fashion film, it’s a story about creativity and how, even in Iris’ dotage, a soaring free spirit continues to inspire. Iris portrays a singular woman whose enthusiasm for fashion, art and people are life’s sustenance and reminds us that dressing, and indeed life, is nothing but an experiment.

She desperately hopes that this new recipe will finally arouse some kind of reaction from her neglectful husband. She prepares a special lunchbox to be delivered to him at work, but, unbeknownst to her, it is mistakenly delivered to another office worker, Saajan, a lonely man on the verge of retirement. Curious about the lack of reaction from her husband, Ila puts a little note in the following day’s lunchbox, in the hopes of getting to the bottom of the mystery. This begins a series of lunchbox notes between Saajan and Ila, and the mere comfort of communicating with a stranger anonymously soon evolves into an unexpected friendship. Gradually, their notes become little con- fessions about their loneliness, memories, regrets, fears, and even small joys. They each discover a new sense of self and find an anchor to hold on to in the big city of Mumbai that so often crushes hopes and dreams. Still strangers physically, Ila and Saajan become lost in a virtual relationship that could jeopardize both their realities.

WORKSHOP 8 Saturdays: January 16 – March 5 | 10 am-12 pm | $195 (8 Classes) THE STORY STRUCTURE OF MOTION PICTURES If you’ve ever had an idea for a movie but didn’t know how to develop it into a screenplay, or if you just love movies and want to know more about them, then this course is for you. Designed for beginners, it explores the techniques involved in writing and/or understanding movies. For instance, did you know that virtually all good movies have a carefully defined structure? They follow a three-act model called the “paradigm,” which is the backbone of good storytelling and is present in almost every movie you see. It takes only a few hours to learn the paradigm but many weeks to master it. Through movie screenings, screenplay readings and discussions, this course will teach students to recognize and understand restorative, three-act motion picture structure through the paradigm. The class will examine motion pictures from a writer’s perspective. Unlike most film studies courses, it will not con- centrate upon historical or sociological perspectives; rather, it will focus upon the construction of the film story. The screenings Albert Maysles’ and discussions will deal exclusively with narrative motion pictures rather than abstract or experimental films. The course will also IRIS explore the realities of the film industry: how and why certain movies get made; how to find an agent and break in as a screenwriter; dealing with producers; legally protecting your work; union affiliations and many other facets of movie-making.

Stephen Martin Siegel is an award-winning screenwriter who resides on Long Island.
