June Schedule:
June 5 – “Amarcord” (1973, 2h7m, Italy, Comedy/Drama by Federico Fellini)
A semi-autobiographical, episodic comedy-drama, set in a 1930s coastal Italian village during the Fascist era, that unfolds as a series of vibrant, nostalgic vignettes over the course of a single year. The movie is anchored by Titta, a mischievous adolescent boy, and his quirky family, as he and his friends navigate puberty, fantasize about unattainable local women, and get into trouble. Winner of 20 international awards, including Best Foreign Film Academy Award.
June 12 – “Hotel Rwanda” (2004, 2h1m, USA, War/Thriller by Terry George)
A biographical drama based on the true story of Paul Rusesabagina, a Hutu hotel manager who sheltered over 1,200 Tutsi and moderate Hutu refugees during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Using his shrewd negotiation skills and corporate leverage, he successfully saved their lives amidst international inaction. Starring Don Cheadle. Winner of 16 awards.
June 19 – “Talk to Her” (2002, 1h52m, Spain, Romance/Thriller by Pedro Almodóvar)
A psychological melodrama that follows the unconventional friendship between Benigno, a lonely male nurse, and Marco, a sensitive journalist, who bond at a Madrid clinic while caring for two comatose women—Alicia, a ballet student, and Lydia, a professional bullfighter. While Marco struggles with grief and distance, Benigno treats Alicia as a conscious partner, talking to her constantly and meticulously attending to her every need. 47 awards and 47 nominations.
June 26 – “Biutiful” (2010, 2h28m, Mexico, Drama/Melodrama by Alejandro González Iñárritu)
Uxbal, a career criminal, plies his trade in Barcelona’s underground sweatshops and back alleys. Unlike his associates, he has some respect for the poor workers under his thumb and is a devoted father. Told that he is ill and has just a few months to live, Uxbal tries to get his affairs in order before the spirits, with whom he communes, come to claim him. Starring Javier Bardem. 21 wins and 65 nominations.
