October
7: From France
Les Choristes (The Chorus)
2004, Directed by Christophe Barratier
A new
teacher, Clément Mathieu, arrives in January 1949 at a school
for wayward boys in the French countryside. The head master believes
that order and behavioral improvement may be achieved only according
to the medieval traditions of recriminations and punishment, and
the boys have found diverse ways of beating this system. A non-successful
composer, Mathieu seems at first to be daunted by his manipulative
audience, but then he starts channeling the power of music into
the volatile atmosphere. The results are heart-warming. Nominated
for an Oscar in 2004. This "feel good" movie offers an
historically correct atmosphere of post-WW II provincial France
and a depth not recognized in some reviews.
Introduced by Birgitta Ingemanson, Associate Professor of Russian
at WSU, and Coordinator of WSU's new Minor in Film Studies

From Japan
Rashomon
On a lovely forest road in ancient Japan, a woman is raped and her
husband killed. The film gives us four viewpoints of the incident
- one for each defendant - each revealing a little more detail.
Which version, if any, is the real truth about what happened? This
is one of THE two or three most admired classics in world cinema,
a mystery story at the same time as a profound look into the entanglements
of human emotions. Introduced
by Nick Bergthold, WSU Student, President of the new "WAZZU
FILMS" Film-Making Organization

21: From Germany
"M"
1931, Directed by Fritz Lang
When the police in a German city are unable to catch a child-murderer,
other criminals join in the manhunt. A psychotic child murderer stalks
a city, and despite an exhaustive investigation fueled by public hysteria
and outcry, the police have been unable to find him. But the police
crackdown does have one side-affect, it makes it nearly impossible
for the organized criminal underground to operate. So they decide
that the only way to get the police off their backs is to catch the
murderer themselves. Besides, he is giving them a bad name. Introduced
by Jeremy Krug, WSU School of Music and Theatre Arts |
