### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Swedish with English subtitles.*

“God, why did you desert me?” With WINTER LIGHT, master craftsman Ingmar Bergman explores the search for redemption in a meaningless existence. In this stark depiction of spiritual crisis, small-town pastor Tomas Ericsson (Gunnar Björnstrand) performs his duties mechanically before a dwindling congregation. When he is asked to assist with a troubled parishioner’s (Max von Sydow) debilitating fear of nuclear annihilation, Tomas is terrified to find that he can provide nothing but his own uncertainty. Beautifully photographed by Sven Nykvist, WINTER LIGHT is an unsettling look at the human craving for personal validation in a world seemingly abandoned by God.

When we first meet Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp in this comic gem, he’s in typical straits: broke, hungry, destined to fall in love, and just as sure to lose the girl. Mistaken for a pickpocket and pursued by a peace officer into a circus tent, the Tramp becomes a star when delighted patrons think his escape from John Law is an act. At the first ever Academy Awards ceremony, Chaplin was honored with a special statuette for “versatility and genius in writing, acting, directing, and producing THE CIRCUS.” And, it went without saying, for again bringing laughter to packed movie palaces across America.

The first film produced by German controlled Continental Films, who regulated film production under the Occupation, this is more than a fireside mystery for a chilly night… a parable for collaboration, subversively [portraying] a perilous moment in French history.” – *L’Alliance*

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Cantonese and Mandarin with English subtitles.*

Lost souls reach out for human connection amidst the glimmering night world of Hong Kong in Wong Kar Wai’s hallucinatory, neon-soaked nocturne. Originally conceived as a segment of CHUNGKING EXPRESS only to spin off on its own woozy axis, this hyper-cool head rush plays like the dark, moody flip side to Wong’s breakout feature as it charts the subtly interlacing fates of a handful of urban loners, including a coolly detached hitman (Leon Lai) looking to go straight, his business partner (Michelle Reis) who secretly yearns for him, and a mute delinquent (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who wreaks mischief by night. Swinging between hardboiled noir and slapstick lunacy with giddy abandon, FALLEN ANGELS is both a dizzying, dazzling city symphony and a poignant meditation on love, loss, and longing in a metropolis that never sleeps.

Thomas is a typical 1980s kid: he loves computers, role-playing games, and his dog. While mom is away at the office on Christmas Eve, Thomas and his grandfather are left home alone — perfect timing for a disgruntled, perverted, bloodthirsty Santa Claus to raid the home down the chimney. But Hell hath no fury like a mulleted ten-year-old with an arsenal of toys! Made a year before Home Alone, the French-made Dial Code Santa Claus has almost the same plot — only filled with more style, bloodshed, and Rambo references.

**Producers**: Jonah Disend,  Jordan Drake

Join us in the microcinema for Ira Sachs&#8217; lauded, and now Golden Globe nominated triumph *Peter Hujar&#8217;s Day*. The photographer Peter Hujar, whose images exist in an important lineage and dialogue with the work of groundbreaking gay artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe and David Wojnarowicz, forms the center of the latest movie by fearless independent American filmmaker Ira Sachs (*Passages*). Based on rediscovered transcripts from an unused 1974 interview by nonfiction writer Linda Rosenkrantz (played by Rebecca Hall), in which she asked Hujar (Ben Whishaw) to narrate the events of the previous day in minute detail, Sachs’s film is a mesmerizing time warp, an illustration of the life of the creative mind, the quotidian and the imaginative at once, fully and lovingly inhabited by its two brilliant actors. With this engrossing and wholly unexpected film, Sachs shuttles us back to a specific moment in New York queer cultural history and a still-influential art scene that lives on in words as much as images.

PORCO ROSSO  (subtitled)
A short time ago, World War I fighter ace Porco Rosso was a valiant Italian Air Force pilot. Nowadays, the ghosts of the past have transformed the mustachioed man of action into a jaded opportunist fighting for a paycheck as a bounty hunter. And haunted by guilt, Porco flies his nimble Savoia S.21 seaplane over the Adriatic Sea like there's no tomorrow. Perhaps the cynical former hero has a death wish. But everything will change when furious air pirates enlist the help of a haughty American antagonist to bring him down. Now, there is no turning back: the reclusive flying ace must pull himself together and show them who's boss. After all, the legendary Crimson Pig lives for pride, fortune, and love. —

GHIBLI DOUBLE FEATURE IV

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Two very different women fall in love in 1950s New York in this striking adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s “The Price of Salt.” As a woman stuck in a loveless marriage and a young department store clerk, Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara vanish into their respective roles with an intriguing balance of desire and caution.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Terry Zwigoff’s hysterically bold, subversive variation of MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, with Billy Bob Thornton as a foul-mouthed, alcoholic con man posing as a mall Santa, who teams up with his friend Marcus (Tony Cox) to rob the store just before Christmas. Thornton is reminiscent of W.C. Fields (only drunker, and worse to children!) in this rare intelligent adult comedy. Featuring Brett Kelly as “The Kid,” and the late, great John Ritter and Bernie Mac.

Fall in love all over again with Todd Haynes&#8217; dreamy Mid-Century lesbian romance! Based on the novel *The Price of Salt* from complicated but legendary queer author Patricia Highsmith (*Strangers on a Train*), this look at forbidden love in an oppressive age is as lovely as it is romantic. Therese, a young aspiring photographer working as a shop girl encounters the elegant, upper-crust Carol shopping at her Manhattan department store. The two women develop a friendship that deepens into a forbidden romance in a time when homosexuality wasn&#8217;t spoken of and certainly not encouraged. Gorgeously filmed on 16mm celluloid to achieve the perfect look, with magnificent period details and an all-consumingly beautiful romance, this is not just a Christmas film, it&#8217;s a love story for the ages!

Post Chanukah screening. You saw Fiddler now see how it made it's journey to broadway. In conjunction with LA Jewish Film Festival. In person, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Daniel Raim! The Fall of 2021 marked the 50th anniversary of Fiddler on the Roof, the film Pauline Kael of The New Yorker called "the most powerful movie musical ever made."

Boyle, film critic Kenneth Turan, lyricist Sheldon Harnick, and actresses Rosalind Harris, Michele Marsh, and Neva Small (Tevye's daughters). The film explores how the experience of making "Fiddler" deepens Jewison as an artist and revives his soul.
