Sunday 8/29
First film screening/projection of the year, here, at Catapult house:
Chaplin- City Lights
87 minutes.
Ebert description:
If only one of Charles Chaplin's films could be preserved, ``City Lights'' (1931) would come the closest to representing all the different notes of his genius. It contains the slapstick, the pathos, the pantomime, the effortless physical coordination, the melodrama, the bawdiness, the grace, and, of course, the Little Tramp--the character said, at one time, to be the most famous image on earth.
Then next Sunday, 9/6:
Jules and Jim

VHS description:
Jules and Jim is the ultimate menage-a-trois, and certainly one of the most poetic films of the French New Wave. The film tells the story of a friendship between two artists- one Austrian (Oskar Werner), the other French (Henry Serre)- and their mutual love for the same woman, Catherine (Jeanne Moreau). Spanning two decades, this pure love affair between Jules, Jim and Catherine is temporarily interrupted by the Great War, but continues on into the 1930s when it ends suddenly and tragically.
