	Gummo Monday November 11, 2024 at 21:30 Cinéma Moderne - Regular programming Cinema • Fiction Original English version New 4K Restoration Harmony Korine's debut feature is an audacious, lyrical evocation of America's rural underbelly, and an elegy in the southern-gothic tradition of William Faulkner and William Eggleston. Shot in Korine's native Nashville-standing in for the tornado-ravaged Xenia, Ohio-the rough-hewn film follows two young friends, Tummler and Solomon, as they ride around town, huffing glue and hunting stray cats, their every local encounter charged with vaudevillian anarchy as well as deep pathos. At once transgressive and empathetic, disturbing and undeniably beautiful, Gummo is a one-of-a-kind portrait of angelic and devilish souls caught in a cultural void, circumscribed by poverty and the depleted, alienated spiritual life of late-twentieth-century America.

	Toute une nuit Thursday November 21, 2024 at 21:30 Cinéma Moderne - Regular programming Cinema • Fiction Original French version, English subtitles New 2K Restoration A hot summer evening in Brussels: couples dance in bars and cafés, part outside homes, or escape together under the darkness of night; some discover or reignite romance, some end it, while still more grasp tightly to each other in the last moments of dying love. In Chantal Akerman's inimitable Tout une nuit, the modern city and its inhabitants are captured in fragmentary, elliptical visions of desire, frustration, and loneliness, with more than two dozen characters appearing in fleeting vignettes that tease the possibility of larger narratives. Applying a formalist framework to tableaulike sequences drenched in moody atmosphere, Akerman fashions a new cinematic grammar that combines structuralist rigor with the dreamy solitude of Edward Hopper: in her hands, human intimacy and alienation are dramatically heightened by paring down dialogue and foregrounding delicate and sudden gestures, sounds, and glances. Alongside magnus opus Jeanne Dielman, Tout une nuit is one of the legendary Belgium director's greatest triumphs: a charming, avant-garde melodrama that is as much about the weight of time as the longing for connection.

	Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors Next date : Friday November 22, 2024 at 19:00 (other dates) Cinéma Moderne - Regular programming Cinema • Fiction Original Ukranian version, English subtitles New 4K Restoration Widely considered the most important film in the history of Ukranian cinema, Sergei Parajanov's Shadows of Our Forgotten Ancestors is a masterwork that boldly combines folkloric pageantry, fairy tale mysticism, and frenetic, hallucinatory cinematography. Adapted from Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky's novel, Shadows tells the story of Ivan (Ivan Mykolaichuk), a young Hutsul peasant who witnesses his father's murder by the local miser. Years later, Ivan falls in love with the miser's daughter, Marichka (Larisa Kadochnikova), but her shocking death leaves him wallowing in grief until he meets Palahna (Tatyana Bestayeva), a beautiful woman who seems to restore his faith in life and hope for the future. When the ghost of Marichka begins to haunt Ivan, however, Palahna is driven into the arms of the local sorcerer (Spartak Bagashvili), with tragic results. Shadows is steeped in the earthy atmosphere of the Carpathian mountains; filmed by Parajanov and cinematographer Yuri Ilyenko with an eye for constantly innovative camera movements and vivid color; and suffused by Hutsul culture in the form of composer Myroslav Skoryk's collage-like score, which brings together Ukrainian folk melodies with modernist, experimental orchestration. It is one of cinema's singular productions, capturing the spiritual majesty of the past by creatively forging the medium's future. View prices Buy tickets Regular 16,00 $ Other prices
	Double Indemnity Next date : Saturday November 23, 2024 at 19:00 (other dates) Cinéma Moderne - Regular programming Cinema • Fiction Original English version New 4K Restoration Has dialogue ever been more perfectly hard-boiled? Has a femme fatale ever been as deliciously wicked as Barbara Stanwyck? And has 1940s Los Angeles ever looked so seductively sordid? Working with cowriter Raymond Chandler, director Billy Wilder launched himself onto the Hollywood A-list with this epitome of film-noir fatalism from James M. Cain's pulp novel. When slick salesman Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) walks into the swank home of dissatisfied housewife Phyllis Dietrichson (Stanwyck), he intends to sell insurance, but he winds up becoming entangled with her in a far more sinister way. Featuring scene-stealing supporting work from Edward G. Robinson and the chiaroscuro of cinematographer John F. Seitz, Double Indemnity is one of the most entertainingly perverse stories ever told and the standard by which all noir must be measured. View prices Buy tickets Regular 16,00 $ Other prices

Shoveling shredded corn in the harsh sun all day long, Manuel, Alfonso, Guillermo, and Juan have no one else but her to voice their concerns.
