We re-launched our campus film series last weekend. It was great to see some of you after an unplanned 18-month vacation. Films continue this weekend with
two first-run films, one from Poland and one from Chile.
NEVER GONNA SNOW AGAIN
Last Chance! Sept 10, 11 and 12 at 6:45 pm at the IU Fine Arts Theater
Poland’s submission to the 2021 Academy Awards has been compared to Twin Peaks!
On a gray, foggy morning outside a large Polish city, a masseur from the East named Zhenia enters the lives of the wealthy residents of a gated community. With his hypnotic presence and quasi-magical abilities, he is able to get a residence permit and starts plying his trade. The well-to-do residents in their cookie-cutter suburban homes seemingly have it all, but they all suffer from an inner sadness, some unexplained longing. The attractive and mysterious newcomer’s hands heal, and Zhenia’s eyes seem to penetrate their souls. To them, his Russian accent sounds like a song from the past, a memory of simpler times. Directed by Malgorzata Szumowska and Michal Englert (2021 / subtitled / 113 min)
EMA (PrideFest)
Last Chance! Sept 10 and 11 at 7:30 at the Radio & TV Theater (which is next to the IU Fine Arts Theater). Not sure where to go? See link below…
“Pablo Larraín’s erotic and suspenseful character study is one of the most ambitious and visually stunning films of the year.” –The Playlist
Ema is the opening film in our Fall Semester PrideFest. Upcoming films include Summer of 85, Swan Song and Little Girl.
Ema, a dancer, upends her family life and sets out on an odyssey of personal liberation as she dances and seduces her way into a daring new life. Renowned writer/director Pablo Larraín’s lusciously wild eighth film premiered at the Venice International Film Festival and has since enchanted audiences worldwide. Mariana Di Girolamo and Gael García Bernal star in this incendiary drama about art, desire, and the modern family.
(2021 / 107 min / Chile / in Spanish with subtitles)
