FILM SERIES
The Apu Trilogy
Shown in conjunction with the film course Master Humanist: The Cinematic World of Satyajit
Ray, each screening will be introduced by the course’s instructor, Maurizio Giammarco, Ph.D.
Tuesday, March 15, 7:15 pm
PATHER PANCHALI (SONG OF THE LITTLE ROAD)
1955 – India – 1 hr 59 min – d. Satyajit Ray
A depiction of rural Bengali life in a style inspired by Italian neorealism, Satyajit Ray’s debut
film signaled an eloquent and important new voice in cinema and introduced the character of
little Apu, whose story would be told over the course of three massively successful and awardwinning films.
APARAJITO (THE UNVANQUISHED)
Although unplanned at the outset, Satyajit Ray decided to continue Apu’s narrative after
Pather Panchali’s international success. This tenderly expressive, often heart-wrenching sequel
picks up where the first film leaves off and follows Apu as he progresses from a wide-eyed child
into an intellectually curious teenager.
APUR SANSAR (THE WORLD OF APU)
Shakespeare
at the BBC
In honor of the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death, BBC Worldwide North
America offers a series of rare productions from their massive vault. Admission to these free
screenings will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of show only.
Saturday, April 2, 11:00 am
AS YOU LIKE IT
1963 – UK – 2 hr 20 min – d. Michael Elliott and Ronald Eyre
“All the world’s a stage” in this charming black-and-white adaptation of Shakespeare’s pastoral
comedy from the Royal Shakespeare Company. In a role that made her a star, Vanessa
Redgrave appears as the spunky Rosalind, who finds adventure and love in her travels through
the Forest of Arden.
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM
1971 – UK – 2 hr – d. James Cellan Jones
Set in Edwardian England and shot on location in and around Scotney Castle in Kent, this
production of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy boasts a truly all-star cast of the stage’s best
performers, including Lynn Redgrave, Michael Gambon, Eileen Atkins, Edward Fox, Eleanor
Bron, Robert Stephens, and Ronnie Barker.
The extraordinary conclusion of this monumental trilogy brings the protagonist’s journey full
circle as, now in his early twenties, out of college, and with writerly ambitions, Apu navigates
his romantic awakening into an eventually fraught fatherhood. Ray’s skills as a crafter of pure
cinematic imagery are on full display on this final chapter of Apu’s epic story.
Festival Screenings
BMFI is always excited to provide a venue for festivals. The Israeli Film Festival of Philadelphia,
in its 20th year, and the Tri-Co Film Festival, a local student showcase, return to the theater,
while the Internet Cat Video Festival (see p. 9) makes its debut at BMFI this season.

A TALE OF LOVE AND DARKNESS
2015 – Israel – 1 hr 38 min – d. Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman, in her directorial debut, writes and stars in this adaptation of the
autobiographical novel by Amos Oz. A moving tale of the founding of the state of Israel as
recounted through events in Oz’s own life, the story begins in 1945 in Jerusalem, honing in on
Oz’s family—young Amos, his parents Arieh and Fania (Portman) — as tensions mount between
Jews and Arabs towards the end of the Mandate for Palestine.
$15 for general admission, $13 for seniors, $6 for students
Tickets are available at www.iffphila.com
KING LEAR
1998 – UK – 2 hr 30 min – d. Richard Eyre
Starring the magnificent Ian Holm as the king doomed to madness after dividing his realm
between his three daughters, this sparse and modernistic production from the National
Theater was hailed by critics as one of the greatest versions of Shakespeare’s familial tragedy
ever made.
THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
2005 – UK – 1 hr 30 min – d. David Richards
Shakespeare’s battle-of-the-sexes comedy gets a modern and very British update with this
adaptation starring Shirley Henderson (Bridget Jones’ Diary, Harry Potter and the Chamber
of Secrets) as Katherine Minola, a tempermental yet successful politician who is set up with an
Earl by her popular model sister.

40-LOVE (TERRE BATTUE)
2013 – South Korea – 1 hr 44 min – d. Park Chan-kyong
2014 – France/Belgium – 1 hr 35 min – d. Stéphane Demoustier
Manshin: Ten Thousand Spirits is a filmic portrait of Korea’s greatest living shaman, Kim
Keum-hwa. Artist and filmmaker Park Chan-kyong masterfully narrates a lifetime of hardship
endured in a country that has undergone various traumas of colonialism, war, and division of
the state through re-enactments and original footage of shamanic rituals performed by Kim.
An acute examination of pride, ego, and competition, Stéphane Demoustier’s confident first
feature focuses on a fraught father-son relationship brought to a boiling point when middleaged Jérôme (Olivier Gourmet), after failing to realize his professional dreams, focuses
intensely on his eleven-year-old son’s extraordinary talents as a tennis prodigy and burdens the
boy with his own frustrated ambitions.
The screening is followed by a conversation between Hank Glassman, Professor of East Asian
Languages and Cultures at Haverford College, and Liz Park, curator of the exhibition Among
the Unburied (March 18 – April 29, 2016) at Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery at Haverford College.
FIRST COUSIN ONCE REMOVED
2012 – USA – 1 hr 18 min – d. Alan Berliner
First Cousin Once Removed, Alan Berliner’s deeply personal portrait of Edwin Honig, his
cousin and mentor, is a first-hand look at Honig’s journey through the ravages of memory loss
and Alzheimer’s disease. Edwin Honig—poet, translator, critic, and teacher—wrote dozens of
acclaimed books, and the film artfully documents his condition with compassion. Portraying his
life with the same raw honesty that resonates in his poetry, written amidst a lifetime steeped
in tragedy, love, loss, irony and literary daring, the film is an unflinching essay on the fragility
of being human and a stark reminder of the profound role that memory plays in all of our lives.
Alan Berliner will introduce the film and lead a post-screening discussion.
“Breath (Ses souffles),” a 23-minute short film by Just Phillippot, will screen prior to the feature.
PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST (LE DOS ROUGE)
2015 – France – 2 hr 7 min – d. Antoine Barraud
Coproduced by the Centre Pompidou, Antoine Barraud’s spellbinding film concerns the
labyrinthine quest of an auteur named Bertrand—played by the acclaimed French director
Bertrand Bonello, whose slinky biopic Saint Laurent was released earlier this year—to find the
artwork that best exemplifies the concept of “monstrous,” the subject of his next movie.
A tree jumps into a pair of boots and walks off in “One, Two, Tree,” the six-minute animated
short film by Yulia Aronova that will screen prior to the feature.
SENSE OF HUMOR (LE SENS DE L’HUMOUR)
Art + Architecture
2014 – France – 1 hr 30 min – d. Marilyne Canto
Sunday, April 24, 1:00 pm
FLORENCE AND THE UFFIZI GALLERY
1 hr 30 min
Take a journey into the heart of the Renaissance with this extensive look at Florence's Uffizi
Gallery, a veritable treasure house containing the most beautiful and representative works of
art of the period from Michelangelo, Brunelleschi, Raphael, Botticelli, and Da Vinci. Antonio
Natali, director of the Uffizi, will detail the key works inside the Gallery.
Sunday, May 29, 1:00 pm
GOYA—VISIONS OF FLESH AND BLOOD
1 hr 33 min
Heir to Velázquez, hero to Picasso. Francisco Goya is Spain’s most celebrated artist and is
considered the father of modern art. A gifted portrait painter and social commentator par
excellence, Goya and his genius are reappraised in a much-anticipated landmark exhibition at the
National Gallery in London. The film uses this exhibition to look in depth at Goya’s eventful life.
6
Young French Cinema
Best known in France as an actress, Marilyne Canto directed, cowrote, and stars in this richly
detailed film, awash with human complexities, about a recently widowed museum guide and
mother (Canto) who finds herself pushing away her boyfriend, an antiques specialist, as he
yearns for them to grow closer.
Eight-year-old Aida’s life is disrupted when her father returns from a trip to Senegal with a
second wife in tow in “Mother(s) (Maman(s)),” the 21-minute short to screen prior to the feature.
VINCENT (VINCENT N’A PAS D'ÉCAILLES)
2014 – France – 1 hr 18 min – d. Thomas Salvador
Tall, slightly awkward, and unassuming, Vincent leads a quiet life as a construction worker until
he discovers that contact with water transforms him into a being with unsurpassed strength
and speed. Director and cowriter Thomas Salvador stars in the title role of this imaginative and
extremely charming superhero movie.
Prior to the feature, Hadrien Bichet’s “Don’t Speak About Love (Ne parlez pas d’amour),” a
22-minute high school-set romantic comedy, will be screened.

NEW YORK FILM CRITICS SERIES: THE CONFIRMATION
INTERNET CAT VIDEO FESTIVAL
2016 – USA – 1 hr 30 min – d. Bob Nelson
Produced by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the Internet Cat Video Festival is
the first offline celebration of online cat videos. Feline fanatics will enjoy an hour-long
program of carefully curated cat clips, from six-second Vine videos to short films and
everything in between.
Walt (Clive Owen), a down-on-his luck carpenter, is tasked with entertaining his eight-year-old
son Anthony (Jaeden Lieberher) while Anthony’s mom (Maria Bello) and her new husband
are away. But when Walt’s prized toolbox is stolen, a quiet father-and-son weekend turns into
an adventure of a lifetime. Aided by an oddball drywall repairman (Patton Oswalt), Walt and
Anthony go on a wildly funny search for the thieves—and find something they never imagined: a
true family connection.
Prior to the screening, Main Line Animal Rescue will appear at a 6:00 pm reception in
BMFI's atrium, filled with “cat-ivities” like frisky photo ops, trivia, and a coloring station.
Cat lovers are sure to have a “purrfect” night out at this fun-filled, family-friendly event.
Part of the New York Film Critics Series, this advanced screening of The Confirmation will be
followed by a filmed Q&A with Clive Owen, Jaeden Lieberher, and writer/director Bob Nelson,
led by Rolling Stone critic Peter Travers.

CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT
1965 – USA – 1 hr 59 min – d. Orson Welles
In the crowning achievement of his later film career, Orson Welles brings his theatrical
background to the fore by playing Shakespeare’s famous recurring character, Falstaff, a
roustabout and companion to Prince Hal, who eventually becomes Henry V. Integrating
elements from both Henry IV plays as well as Richard II, Henry V, and The Merry Wives of
Windsor, this unorthodox triumph returns to the screen after being unavailable for decades.
Shown in conjunction with a Cinema Classics Seminar (see p. 17), Chimes at Midnight will be
introduced by the seminar’s instructor, Paul Wright, Ph.D.

THEATER
OPERA
HANGMEN
TOSCA
Written by Martin McDonagh – Directed by Matthew Dunster – Performed at the National Theatre in
London – Starring David Morrissey, Andy Nyman, Johnny Flynn – 3 hr
Music by Giacomo Puccini – Directed by Claire Servais – Conducted by Paolo Arrivabeni – Performed at the
Opéra Royal de Wallonie in Liège – Starring Ruggero Raimondi, Barbara Haveman, Marc Laho – 2 hr 5 min
Following a sell-out run at London’s Royal Court Theatre, Olivier-and Academy Award-winner
Martin McDonagh (The Pillowman, The Cripple of Inishmaan, In Bruges) returns to the West
End with Matthew Dunster’s award-winning production of his deeply funny new play Hangmen,
broadcast to cinemas by National Theatre Live.
Entangled in a web of political intrigue and intimate jealousies, the passionate Floria Tosca
plunges towards tragedy in Puccini’s magnificent “opera of operas”, presented by the Opéra
Royal de Wallonie in Liège, Belgium.
In his small pub in the northern English town of Oldham, Harry (David Morrissey – The Walking
Dead, State of Play) is something of a local celebrity. But what's the second-best hangman in
England to do on the day they've abolished hanging?
LA DAMNATION DE FAUST
Music by Hector Berlioz – Directed by Alvis Hermanis – Conducted by Philippe Jordan – Performed at the
Opéra National de Paris – Starring Jonas Kaufmann, Sophie Koch, Bryn Terfel – 2 hr 54 min
Amongst the cub reporters and pub regulars dying to hear Harry’s reaction to the news, his
old assistant Syd (Andy Nyman – Peaky Blinders, Death at a Funeral) and the peculiar Mooney
(Johnny Flynn – Clouds of Sils Maria) lurk with very different motives for their visit.
Thursday, March 24, 7:00 pm
Syd (Andy Nyman), Hennessey (Josef
Davies), Harry (David Morrissey) and

Jonas Kaufmann stars in Berlioz’s feverish fantasia, a furious examination of the complexities
of human nature and the seemingly impossible struggle for redemption. Sophie Koch and Bryn
Terfel join in this new production from Opéra national de Paris, directed by Alvis Hermanis.
AS YOU LIKE IT
La Damnation de Faust
Written by William Shakespeare – Directed by Polly Findlay – Peformed at the National Theatre in London
Starring Rosalie Craig – 4 hr
Shakespeare’s glorious comedy of love and change comes to the National Theatre for the first
time in over 30 years, with Rosalie Craig (London Road, Macbeth at MIF) as Rosalind.
With her father the Duke banished and in exile, Rosalind and her cousin Celia leave their lives
in the court behind them and journey into the Forest of Arden.
There, released from convention, Rosalind experiences the liberating rush of transformation.
Disguising herself as a boy, she embraces a different way of living and falls spectacularly in love.
BORIS GODUNOV
A proud sponsor
of BMFI’s operas
Music by Modest Musorgsky – Directed by Richard Jones – Conducted by Antonio Pappano – Performed at
the Royal Opera House in London – Starring Bryn Terfel, John Graham-Hall, John Tomlinson – 3 hrs
Richard Jones and Antonio Pappano renew their creative collaboration with this new
production of Musorgsky’s historical masterpiece, here seen in its compact 1869 first
version in seven scenes. The originality of the composer’s vision of Pushkin’s play about
Tsar Boris Godunov – who reigned over Russia between 1598 and 1605 – was too much for
the management of the Imperial Theatres, who demanded changes that were incorporated
in the second version of the opera, in which Boris finally had its premiere in 1874. Many
commentators, nevertheless, prefer the integrity of the original, which makes few concessions
to operatic conventions. Keenly awaited will be Bryn Terfel’s assumption of the title role – one
of the most complex characters in opera – while John Graham-Hall appears as the crafty Prince
Shuisky and John Tomlinson as the vagabond monk Varlaam.
DANCE
IL TROVATORE
DON QUIXOTE
Choreography by Alexei Fadeyechev (after Marius Petipa and Alexander Gorsky) – Music by Leon Minkus –
Performed by the Bolshoi Ballet at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow – 3 hr 10 min
Cervantes’ eccentric hero Don Quixote leaves on journey full of adventures with his loyal
squire Sancho Panza in search of his perfect woman. On the way he meets Kitri, the dazzling
daughter of an innkeeper who he thinks might be his ideal love. The Bolshoi's panache
and excellence are combined in Fadeyechev’s critically acclaimed staging of this exalting
performance with Leon Minkus’ famous score. Featuring brand new sets and costumes to
accompany this colorful and technically challenging production, Don Quixote is quintessential
Bolshoi, abounding with life and not to be missed!
Music by Giuseppe Verdi – Directed by Alvis Hermanis – Conducted by Daniele Gatti – Performed at the
Salzburg Festival – Starring Anna Netrebko, Plácido Domingo, Francesco Meli, Marie-Nicole Lemieux
2 hr 34 min
Anna Netrebko, whose celebrated Leonora has triumphed on stages around the world, from
the Berlin Staatsoper to the Metropolitan Opera, stars in this production of Verdi’s classic tale
of revenge from the Salzburg Festival. She is joined by the legendary Plácido Domingo, who
sings the role of the Conte di Luna.
LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR
Music by Gaetano Donizetti – Directed by Katie Mitchell – Conducted by Daniel Oren – Performed at the
Royal Opera House in London – Starring Diana Damrau, Charles Castronovo – 2 hr 50 min
Don Quixote. Photo by Damir Yusupov
Lucia di Lammermoor tells the story of an ongoing feud between two families in 17th-century
Scotland that has terrible consequences for two young lovers. It contains what is undoubtedly
one of opera’s most poignant and gripping mad scenes, and is regarded as one of Donizetti’s
finest works. The opera has not been seen at the Royal Opera House in more than a decade, so
this new production by Katie Mitchell will be a particularly important and exciting event. The title
role will be sung by Diana Damrau, an expert in the coloratura repertory, while American tenor
Charles Castronovo takes on that of her secret lover, the reckless and passionate Edgardo.

Myth-busters and Iconoclasts: Japanese Cinema in Transition
AT THE PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART
Taught by Paul Wright, Ph.D., Department of English, Cabrini College
The Art of Film
For many Americans, their exposure to Japanese cinema begins and ends with Akira
Kurosawa, and while his work is an eminently sensible place to start, there is so much
more to see, learn from, and enjoy by venturing further into this nation’s film culture. In
this course, we endeavor to enrich our understanding of Japan’s complex and important
cinematic tradition with a close look at four essential directors.
Taught by Jenevieve DeLosSantos, Ph.D., Coordinator of Academic Programs, PMA &
Andrew J. Douglas, Ph.D., Director of Education, BMFI
First, with Kenji Mizoguchi’s Sisters of the Gion (1936), we explore a film made on the eve
of the Second World War, and one surprisingly critical of contemporary Japanese society
and its mistreatment of women. We then turn to Yasujirô Ozu’s Floating Weeds (1959),
a post-war meditation on the joys and agonies of family—both those bound by blood,
as well as those we improvise amongst folks with a shared vocation. Next, we move into
the tumultuous 1960s with Masaki Kobayashi’s Harakiri (1962), the greatest and most
compelling indictment of the samurai ethos in all of Japanese cinema.
Finally, we shift as Japan does into new aesthetic and historical territory with Kinji
Fukasaku’s Battles Without Honor and Humanity (1973), a bracing and controversial
template for every Yakuza film that follows. With these directors, our course will
celebrate four master filmmakers and trace Japan’s journey from pre-war paranoia to
post-war malaise.
Harakiri (1962)
Class meets at BMFI:
4 Mondays, April 4, 11, 18, 25,
6:30 pm to 9:30 pm
Class screenings will take place in the
theater whenever possible.
BMFI Members: Please call 610-527-4008 x108 for instructions on receiving your
tuition discount. To register for this class at PMA, please call (215) 235-7469.
Taught by Christopher Long, M.A., Film Critic and Author
Poet. Visionary. Daredevil. Madman. These are a few of the (kinder) words that have been
used to describe Werner Herzog, along with another: unique. Herzog has invented and
re-invented himself many times, emerging first as a leader of the New German Cinema
of the 1970s, then as a controversial documentary guru, and even transforming into an
American pop-culture figure who has logged guest appearances on The Simpsons and
Parks and Recreation, and even played the villain in a Tom Cruise movie (Jack Reacher).
Cinema of Dreams: The Films of Steven Spielberg, Pt. 1

6:30 pm to 9:30 pm
The Secret of His Charisma: Ricardo Darín
Taught by Beatriz Urraca, Ph.D., Modern Languages Department, Widener University
In Argentina’s vibrant film scene, there is only one transnational celebrity: Ricardo Darín.
Though his acting career dates back to the 1960s, in the late 1990s, his star rose thanks
as much to his charming blue eyes and undeniable acting talent as to the ordinary-guy
aura that emanates from every character he plays. Darín’s repertoire includes many key
contemporary Argentine films, though he is probably best known to U.S. audiences for
his leading role as a jaded lawyer in the Oscar-winning The Secret in their Eyes (Juan José
Campanella, 2009). Nowadays, his presence all but guarantees the success of any film
with audiences throughout Latin America and Spain.
On and off the screen, Darín embodies the Argentine everyman. The actor exudes
charisma in all of his roles, especially when he plays flawed, vulnerable protagonists, such
as the epileptic taxidermist in The Aura (Fabián Bielinsky, 2005), or the priest in the slums
of Buenos Aires in White Elephant (Pablo Trapero, 2012). His recurring “fellow in crisis”
has become a beloved symbol of middle-class Argentines; he is a man who embodies a
certain set of social meanings and values. It is an image Darín has deliberately exploited
as a soapbox for his own political and social views.
Join us to consider the cultural and historical significance of four of Darín’s most iconic
films, plus interviews, public service announcements, and letters from public figures
that illustrate his importance as an international Argentine celebrity. This course will
discuss the thrillers The Aura and The Secret in their Eyes, as well as the poignant comedy
Chinese Take-Away (Sebastián Borensztein, 2011) and the social drama White Elephant,
and will feature a guest lecture by author and film critic Gary M. Kramer.
14
This course looks at movements and developments in art and film that were inspired by
the same cultural impulses. Gallery visits and film clips will enhance the discussion of
the impact of the American frontier, the immigrant experience at the dawn of the 20th
century, World War II, and 1960s counterculture on works in the Museum’s collection
and from Hollywood cinema. Join us to explore some of the parallels between key
moments in the histories of art and film, and to gain a greater appreciation of some of
the ways in which world events determine the nature of the art we experience.
This image from Touch of Evil (1958) has an
aesthetic similar to that found in numerous
drawings and paintings by American artists
of the Ashcan school and their students, like
Reginald Marsh, whose Tattoo-Shave-Haircut
(1932) can be seen at the PMA, and on its
website. (bit.ly/1TaMDJ2)
Class meets at the Philadelphia Museum of Art:
4 Wednesdays, April 27, May 4, 11, 18, 10:30 am to 1:30 pm
Ecstatic Truth: The Films of Werner Herzog
Herzog has devoted his career to the pursuit and creation of the “new images” we
desperately need to survive as a culture, and he has journeyed to all ends of the earth
(South America, Africa, Antarctica) to find them. Along the way, his films have blurred the
distinction between fiction and non-fiction in perplexing and fascinating ways. This course
will cover both his feature and documentary work, including Aguirre: The Wrath of God
(1972), The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (1974), The Great Ecstasy of the Woodcarver Steiner
(1974), and Lessons of Darkness (1992), among others.
The cinema and fine art, such as the paintings in the collection of the Philadelphia
Museum of Art, have in common many things, including aesthetic considerations of
perspective, light, color, and composition. Beyond such matters of form, they are also
concerned with theme, genre, and school or movement. Along these lines, there is one
rather substantial way in which the two creative forms function similarly: They are both
significantly influenced—aesthetically, as well as thematically—by major societal shifts.
The Secret in their Eyes (2009)
4 Mondays, May 2, 9, 16, 23 ,
6:30 pm to 9:30 pm
—Steven Spielberg
By any measure, Steven Spielberg is one of the most successful directors in the history
of cinema. Few filmmakers are more widely known, or have work that is more widely
recognized, and no director since Alfred Hitchcock has so consistently bridged the
yawning chasm that all too often exists between commercial triumph and critical acclaim.
But to truly understand Spielberg’s genius, one must appreciate his mindset as a
filmmaker. When Spielberg says he “dream[s] for a living,” it reveals a view of his role
as filmmaker that is rather different than most, and his films—particularly his initial
blockbusters—thoroughly reflect this alternative outlook. To experience Spielberg’s
early work is to step into a realm of cinematic wonderment in which imagery unfurls
before us as though we have just closed our eyes and slipped into a dream. Indeed,
the subject matter of these films is the very stuff that dreams—both good and
bad—are made of: a killer shark stalking a seaside town; an obsession with a close
encounter; globe-spanning adventures in search of hidden treasures; and a young boy
befriending an outsider and learning to cope with an imperfect world.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
4 Wednesdays, June 1, 8, 15, 22,
6:30 pm to 9:30 pm
Class screenings will take place in
the theater.
Spielberg’s voice, in his early work, in particular, stands in stark contrast to the
cynicism of New Hollywood that permeated the films of Robert Altman, Mike
Nichols, and Alan J. Pakula, among others. It hearkens back to a sunnier time of
can-do heroes and cliffhanger serials, unwittingly offering an antidote to the venom
surrounding the Vietnam War and Watergate.
Join us to examine Steven Spielberg’s creation of oneiric wonderlands through a
discussion of four of his greatest achievements (all of which will be shown on the big
screen): Jaws (1975), Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), Raiders of the Lost
Ark (1981), and E.T. the Extra Terrestrial (1982). In exploring Spielberg’s own personal
journey and the influence of his life on his work, we will come to more fully appreciate
one of the most talented auteurs in American cinema.

Early Kubrick
Wednesday, April 27
Cinema Classics Seminar: CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT
Taught by Maurizio Giammarco, Ph.D., Intellectual Heritage Program, Temple University
Taught by Paul Wright, Ph.D., Department of English, Cabrini College
“If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed,” Stanley Kubrick said famously. As
one of the most universally acclaimed and influential directors of the postwar era,
Kubrick enjoyed a reputation unique among the filmmakers of his day. A perennial
outsider, he worked far beyond the confines of Hollywood, maintaining complete
artistic control and making films according to the concerns and time constraints of no
one but himself, but with the rare advantage of studio financial support for much of
his career.
This class will explore his early films, which began to establish the director as an
important cinematic presence, starting with Killer's Kiss (1955), made in the finest
film noir style. The film’s polish is countered by a measure of spontaneity—a trait that
Kubrick would abandon entirely in later works—with its on-location depiction of New
York standing as the most potent example of this dynamic. In 1956, Kubrick directed
his first studio picture, The Killing, the tale of a bold racetrack robbery told via an
ambitious overlapping time structure (which has influenced many subsequent heist
films), with dialogue from hardboiled crime novelist Jim Thompson.

Killer's Kiss (1955)
4 Tuesdays, June 7, 14, 21, 28,
6:30 pm to 9:30 pm
Class screenings will take place
in the theater whenever possible.
In 1957, Kubrick, along with Thompson and novelist Calder Willingham, adapted the
Humphrey Cobb war novel Paths of Glory. This haunting, exquisitely photographed
dissection of the military machine in all its absurdity and capacity for dehumanization
is assembled with the exactitude for which the director would become known. In 1962,
Kubrick brought Nabokov’s controversial novel, Lolita, to the screen. Upon its release,
the film was at once deemed too provocative and dismissed for not remaining faithful
to its source, though, over the years, Lolita’s reputation has undergone reassessment,
particularly in light of Kubrick’s later work.
In so many ways, Orson Welles is remembered and revered as the Shakespeare of
American cinema—as the kind of creator who not only defines, but transforms the
state of the art. And yet, Welles was also very much cut from the same cloth as one of
Shakespeare’s greatest characters, Falstaff, the larger-than-life, charismatic, and yet
deeply flawed creature of appetites whose presence hovers over the theatrical tradition
since the time of the Bard. Similarly, Welles continues to call out to us like the ghost in
the machine of Hollywood itself, reminding us of both Hollywood’s potential to produce
genuine art and the grinding mercilessness of Hollywood's commercial imperative—the
very thing that haunted the entire career of Welles from Citizen Kane (1941) and The
Magnificent Ambersons (1942) on.
In this seminar, we will spend an evening with the Welles film that brought Shakespeare,
Welles, and Falstaff into delirious collision: Chimes at Midnight (1965). An adaptation of
material from Shakespeare's history plays and other sources on the life of King Henry V,
Chimes at Midnight depicts how the price of power and leadership is often the rejection
of youth and friendship. A study in mentorship and betrayal, Welles's film is both a
worthy exploration of classic Shakespearean themes and a resonant commentary on his
own career and image.
Chimes at Midnight (1965)
Seminar meets at BMFI:
Wednesday, April 27, 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm
Meets in the 2nd floor Multimedia Room; the
film will be shown in the theater at 7:15 pm

One-night seminars offer an entertaining and engaging way to learn more about some of the true classics of world cinema. Students receive an introductory
lecture before the film and a guided discussion after the film. In addition, your ticket to see it on the big screen, as well as popcorn and a drink, are included.
Across these films, one can see the burgeoning skills and amplifying voice of a
director often lauded for his exacting precision, and consistently engaged with issues
surrounding morality, discipline, power, and ambition. Join us as we discuss some
of the first cinematic works of Stanley Kubrick, who, according to Martin Scorsese,
“expanded our idea of what is possible in movies.”
