Ashes of Time Redux
Friday, October 7 | 7:30 pm
Hong Kong auteur Wong Kar Wai has digitally restored and recut his all-star 1994 martial arts epic, long unavailable, adding a new score with cello solos by Yo-Yo Ma. A highlight of this year's Cannes, this dreamlike adventure of lone swordsmen and unrequited love is set in the Gobi desert. "Drenched in shocking color-the desert shifts from egg-yolk yellow to burnt orange under a cerulean sky-the film is Wong's most abstract endeavor, a bold excursion into the realm of pure cinema. It also now seems like one of his most important." -Manohla Dargis, The New York Times.

FILM PROGRAM
Spotlight on Miklós Jancsó
The Round Up (Szegénylegények)
Friday, October 17 | 7:30 pm
Jancsó's breakout film is set amid the summary detention of entire villages as Hapsburg forces try to root out any remnants of Hungary's defeated nationalist guerillas that may still roam the country's sprawling plains. Confined to a wooden fort, peasants and herdsmen are subjected to a complex array of interrogations, traps, and ruses set by their Austrian keepers. "Jancsó exhibits portraits of an embryonic police state, set against a pitiless sky and a plain so vast that it seems to show the curvature of the earth. In his cold eye, war is an aleatory art in which values are as random as bullets... In his own deep-dimensioned, black and white montages, he seems a sculptor who scrapes his material from the soil of his native land and gives it a cast of permanence." -Time (1969). 1965/b&w/94 min./CinemaScope | Scr: Gyula Hernádi; dir: Miklós Jancsó; w/ János Görbe, Zoltán Latinovits, Tibor Molnár, András Kozák.

Holy Sh*t: Scatology and Longing in the Art of James Ensor
Kevin Salatino
Thursday, October 23 | 7 pm
James Ensor (1860-1949) is one of the titans of modern art, famous for his bizarre and shocking etchings and paintings, the most famous of which-Christ's Entry into Brussels in 1889-belongs to the J. Paul Getty Museum. In the 1880s and '90s Ensor began to use scatology more and more frequently as a way of expressing his take-no-prisoners politics and his radical worldview. Even today, these works retain their power to offend. Kevin Salatino, curator of the prints and drawings department, will examine Ensor's most outrageous scatological images, particularly the famous Doctrinal Nourishment (a rare hand-colored etching recently acquired by LACMA), in their historical and cultural context, while explaining just how revolutionary Ensor's art was-and still is!

Jancsó worked in the Soviet Union for this commission in honor of the October Revolution's fiftieth anniversary. As members of the defeated Hungarian army find themselves behind enemy lines at the close of World War I, they end up joining Bolshevik "Reds" in the struggle against Tsarist "Whites" in Russia's Civil War. "Great plastic beauty and a poisonous lyricism permeate this ballet of violence, its nameless men trapped in hypnotic, archaic rituals… this is a fully realized paraphrase of the human condition."-Amos Vogel.

Red Psalm (Még kér a nép)
Friday, October 24 | 9:15 pm
Jancsó received a Best Director prize at Cannes for this rhapsodic portrayal of a nineteenth-century peasant farmers' uprising. Staging maypole dances, folk chants, and other mass rites instead of tending to fields of grain, the strikers' processional ceremonies are tracked by Jancsó in twenty-six elegantly orchestrated shots and tensely observed by bailiffs, clergy, and eventually government troops. "Dazzling… Jancsó's awesome fusion of form with content and politics with poetry equals the exciting innovations of the French New Wave… it may well be the greatest Hungarian film of the sixties and seventies."-Jonathan Rosenbaum.
