From Here to Eternity
(1953)
Directed by Fred Zinnemann
Saturday - November 3 - 6:30 p.m.
Winner of eight Academy Awards, this World War
II drama chronicles the lives and loves of soldiers
(and the women in their lives) on an army base
in Honolulu just days before the Japanese attack
on Pearl Harbor. Based on the best-selling novel
by James Jones, the lives of friends and lovers in
this simmering drama are changed when passion
and tragedy collide. The film stars Montgomery
Clift, Frank Sinatra, Burt Lancaster, Donna Reed,
and Deborah Kerr. The 2009 digital restoration
by Sony Pictures was made from the only original
elements still in existence scanned at 4K, and
features a digitally restored original soundtrack.
(2K DCP. 118 min. Not rated.)
Casablanca
(1942)
Directed by Michael Curtiz
Thursday - October 4 - 7:00 p.m.
One of the most memorable of all film
experiences, Casablanca is a true Hollywood
legend. All the elements of the production--story,
cast, photography, direction, and music--are
woven expertly together to create a motion picture
monument. Wartime refugees gather in Morocco
to obtain scarce exit visas to Lisbon. The final
airport sequence is an event not to be forgotten.
With an incredible cast that includes Humphrey
Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains, Peter
Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet and Conrad Veidt, the
film won Oscars
®
for Best Picture, Best Director
and Best Screenplay. "Here's looking at you, kid."
(2K DCP. 102 min. Not rated.)
The Leopard
(1963)
Directed by Luchino Visconti
Sunday - December 9 - 3:00 p.m.
One of the undisputed masterworks of the
1960s, Luchino Visconti's epic The Leopard
(Il gattopardo) recreates Giuseppe Tomasi di
Lampedusa novel of a Sicilian aristocrat in the
tumultuous years of Italy's Risorgimento. Burt
Lancaster stars as the aging and melancholy
Prince of Salina, whose culture and fortune
diminish in the face of a new generation as
the aristocracy crumbles. That generation is
represented by the romantic pairing of Alain
Delon and Claudia Cardinale. Visconti recreated
this world with nostalgia, painstaking detail and
lavishness, winning him the Palme d'Or at the
1963 Cannes Film Festival. Italian language with
English subtitles. (2K DCP. 187 min. Rated PG.)
2001: A Space Odyssey
(1968)
Directed by Stanley Kubrick
Sunday - December 2 - 3:00 p.m.
Kubrick's sci-fi epic is an awe-inspiring
landmark in cinema history that creates
a truly transcendent experience for the
audience. Spanning time from the beginning
of man to a new-frontier future, 2001 is a
poetic contemplation into the evolution of
humanity through the ages. With breathtaking
visuals, deeply affecting music, and very
little dialogue, Kubrick challenges viewers
to decipher the film subjectively and reach
deep into their sub-conscious in order to
find meaning. "Just what do you think you're
doing, Dave?" (2K DCP. 141 min. Rated PG.)
