UK, 1976, Nicolas Roeg
In THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, Ziggy Stardust – er, David Bowie – plays Newton, an alien searching for water for his drought-stricken planet. He lands in the American Southwest, conceals his identity, and proceeds to build a huge corporate empire that proves most seductive to him. Candy Clark, Buck Henry, and Rip Torn co-star in this ambitious, visually-stunning cult sci-fi film from the director of Performance and Don’t Look Now. 139 min.
New 4K Restoration. 50th Anniversary.
Thursday 8:50 pm & Saturday 9:00 pm

Hong Kong/Taiwan, 1991, Stanley Kwan Kam-Pang
International superstar Maggie Cheung (In the Mood for Love) embodies tragic screen siren Ruan Lingyu, known as the "Greta Garbo of China," in the unconventional biopic CENTER STAGE by Hong Kong New Wave master Stanley Kwan (Rouge). Praised for her moving and emotive onscreen presence, Ruan’s private life, which was frequent fodder for the vicious Shanghai tabloids, began to mirror the melodramas which brought her fame, culminating in her suicide at age 24. Kwan and Cheung paint a kaleidoscopic yet intimate portrait of the ill-fated actress, deftly blending lush period drama, archival footage, and metatextual documentary sequences of Cheung reflecting on Ruan’s legacy. The result is, much like the films of Ruan Lingyu themselves, "tender, vivid and almost overwhelmingly moving" Time Out. Subtitles. 155 min.

France/Italy, 1971, Maurice Pialat
In the French countryside during World War I, a gamekeeper and his wife raise their two sons as well as three foster children from Paris who came to live with them at the outset of the war. The children live a life of school, play, and discovery, though bit by bit the distant war creeps closer and closer to the village and to two children who will soon be old enough to enlist. The seven-episode television mini-series THE HOUSE IN THE WOODS (La Maison des Bois) was Pialat’s second venture into narrative film. Subtitles. 364 min. plus intermission.
New 4K Restoration. This screening wil begin promptly at 2:00 pm.
