Week's Films

A convenient listing of the
week's films. Commercial
schedules are subject to
change.

TODAY

Istvan Gaal, Hungarian
filmmaker, will appear to
introduce and discuss his film,
The Falcons, winner of a
Special Jury Prize at the
Cannes Film Festival, 1970.
(Wilson Hall; 8 p.m.; admission
free). Written and directed by
Gaal, from the novel by Miklos
Meszoly, photography by
Elemer Ragalyi, music by
Andras Szollosy, with Ivan
Andonov, Gyorgy Banffy,
Judit Meszleri. "After a trio of
films about the young,
urbanized intellectuals of his
generation, Istvan Gaal has
chosen a bizarre and disturbing
setting for The Falcons. He
describes a repressed and
strictly regimented
community–of half-a-dozen
people– in the midst of a vast
plain. Lilik, the fanatical head
of the camp, lives for his
falcons–training them, nursing
them, endowing them with
almost mythical stature. To the
eyes of the young man who
enters this sinister
environment, the daily round is
at first engaging..."–Peter
Cowie
