Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn put the maestro of mod to bed this weekend, when Charade closes out the Trylon's series on composer Henry Mancini. By this time next week, however, Take-Up will be rolling out their extensive screenings featuring the compositions of Bernard Herrmann, most famous for his work in Hitchcock films. Until then...
While the Film Society may be running on overdrive in preparation for the 2011 Minneapolis/St. Paul International Film Festival, their weekly St Anthony screenings move on ahead with this week's showing of Cold Weather, a hit at festivals in LA, SF and SXSW (you got all that?). Film Comment contributor Scott Foundas said it's "what the future of American independent cinema might look like." There doesn't seem to be a lot of confidence in that statement, but I'm sure you'll love it if you give it a chance.
Charade
The Trylon

(1963, Stanley Donen, BD, 113m) Widow Reggie Lambert (Audrey Hebpurn) is on the run from a gang of disgruntled war vets with a man (Cary Grant) who may or not be who he says he is. Director Stanley Donen punches up this razor-witted thriller with wild characters, wilder one-liners, and a frenetically paced Mancini score.
After abandoning a promising academic career in forensic science, a self-styled Sherlock Holmes, Doug (Cris Lankenau), returns to Portland to live with his more responsible big sister Gail (Trieste Kelly Dunn). He lands a dead-end job working in an ice factory, but soon finds an opportunity to use his passion and skill in detective work when his ex-girlfriend, Rachel (Robyn Rikoon) goes missing. Enlisting a team of ramshackle slacker-sleuths, Doug leads his team down a complex trail of clues and increasingly close to the discovering the mysterious truth about Rachel.Saturday and Sunday present of bevy of screenings in the Minneapolis Jewish Film Festival, including a fun and detailed portrait on the life of American activist/writer Grace Paley. I got a review of that film coming your way in the next day or so, but in the meantime you should check out the other films lined up for the weekend:
Showtimes: Fri, Mar 25 - Sun, Mar 27 @ 1:45, 7:20, 9:35;
Mon, Mar 28 - Wed, Mar 30 @ 7:20, 9:35;
Thu, Mar 31 @ 9:35
I sadly know next to nothing about this next film screening, except that the show will be fun for the whole gosh dang family, if you can believe it. The Heights has a screening of the 1933 musical Footlight Parade featuring live accompaniment on their Mighty Wurlitzer. Do you think you can resistance catchy song and dance numbers from veterans of the silver screen like James Cagney? Good answer.
And last but not least, the M.I.A. will be screening an iconic work from one of the most well-regarded directors of all time. Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal will be screening as a part of the museum's Medieval Film Series, showing in conjunction with basically all of their current exhibits (like that monk one, and the venetian painting one- seriously, admission's free, check it out already). Those unfamiliar with the film and it's premise need look no further than these two hilarious parodies to become acquainted with the subject matter: one featuring the comedic prowess of Madeline Kahn, and the other starring Yakko, Wakko and Dot.
