Women finding the world.
4 and 7, again.
Sunday, August 29, 4 and 7 pm:
Allegro non Troppo &
Twice Upon a Time
Animations! Twice is kind of obscure but lots of fun; more people

Gearing up for....

For back-to-school, some movies about old college friends reuniting.
Peter's friends is a wonderful film with most of the leads playing parts

anxiety as it can relate to power and eroticism.
Breakfast at Tiffany's
& She's So Lovely
Kiki's Delivery Service,
an anime classic about a young witch proving herself by spending a year living
on her own. This American dub features Phil Hartman as Jiji, the coolest
of anime cats.
Princess Mononoke took the record from Titanic as the new highest-grossing film in
Japan ever. The english dub was scripted by Neil Gaiman.
War Zone: "Filmmaker
Hadleigh-West takes to the city streets with camera in hand and asks men why
they harrass women. The footage is often explosive as she places herself in
real danger by daring to confront men about their behavior."

Peter's Friends
Whisper of the Heart. Hear Country Road sung in Japanese... how can you resist? This is a
sweet story of first love and the love of music.

Fire--I've still not seen
this, and the second "element" film, Earth, is coming out this fall.
After life:
"This haunting and beautiful film takes place at a mysterious way station where
a group of newly dead people are asked by heavenly bureaucrats to choose
one memory to carry with them for eternity.

I've never seen any Truffaut... may as well begin here.
Rebel Without a Cause &
Foxfire
Laputa: Castle in the Sky
Porco Rosso
Run Lola Run.
I missed this at the Kendall, but everyone says gogogo.

see it at the Kendall in two weeks' time.
