(Wilson Hall; 4:30, 7 & 9 p.m.;
$1 or series pass). Directed by
Renais, written by Sternberg.
"...he claims to have learned the
art of film-making and editing
from the comics which he
devoured in his youth and for
which he still has a keen
interest..."–Armes "Let us say
that I am concerned to address
the spectator in a critical state
of mind. For that I need to
make films that are not
natural. The realist cinema, the
reconstruction of daily life, the
reproduction of gestures, all
that does not interest me at
all."–Renais

9 p.m. $.75). The Marx

SUNDAY, October 22

La Strada, (Wilson Hall; 7 &
9 p.m. $.75). "Griffith's
stylized lyric tragedy Broken
Blossoms,
though smaller in
scope than The Birth of a
Nation
or Intolerance, is, I
think, the third of a trio of
great works. It is the source of
much of the poignancy of
Fellini's La Strada. Donald
Crisp's brutal prizefighter
became Anthony Quinn's
Zampano, and Lillian Gish's
childish waif must have
strongly influenced the
conception of Builietta
Masina's role as well as her
performance."–Kael
