Le notti bianche
(1957)
Directed by Luchino Visconti
January 13 - Monday - 7:00 p.m.
Marcello Mastroianni, as a lonely city
transplant, and Maria Schell, as a shel-
tered girl haunted by a lover's promise,
meet by chance on a canal bridge and
begin a tentative romance that quickly
entangles them in a web of longing and
self-delusion. Luchino Visconti's Le
notti bianche, an exquisite adaptation of
Dostoyevsky's White Nights, translates this
romantic, shattering tale of two restless
souls into a ravishing black-and-white
dream. (35mm. 97 min. Not Rated.)
Rocco and His Brothers
(1960)
Directed by Luchino Visconti
January 20 - Monday - 7:00 p.m.
The uncut and uncensored 177-minute version of Luchino
Visconti's masterpiece chronicles family loyalty and disin-
tegration, and is one of the most powerful and emotionally
charged movies ever made. Rosaria Parondi and her five sons
journey north to Milan to seek a better life, but the industrial
north proves just as unforgiving as the desolate south. Simone
becomes the first brother to find success--but his career as a
boxer flounders when he meets Nadia, a beautiful prostitute.
When Simone's possessiveness drives Nadia away, she falls in
love with his younger brother, Rocco. The lovers set in motion
a shattering chain of events for which the family's traditional
values leave them unprepared. (35mm. 177 min. Not Rated.)
