Paris Belongs to Us (Jacques Rivette, 1961)

Where: Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University

Paris Belongs to Us New, imported print! (1961) Thu, Apr 12, 2007 | 7:00PM Film/Video Theater "Rivette was more of a cinema nut than any of us, and his films prove that he is more of a moviemaker than any of us as well."--François Truffaut Rivette's debut feature, Paris Belongs to Us, remains one of the landmarks of the French New Wave. Influenced by Fritz Lang, it was filmed piecemeal over several years (the Doniel family in Truffaut's The 400 Blows is seen exiting a theater showing Paris Belongs to Us before the film was completed!). Centering around an amateur theatrical troupe that becomes obsessed with a worldwide conspiracy, Paris Belongs to Us is a time capsule of late 50s/early 60s Left Bank paranoia and sets up the themes that Rivette continues to mine today. It's also one the director's numerous tributes to Paris, which (as Jonathan Rosenbaum writes) is, for Rivette, "a city of secrets and puzzles, of hidden alliances and privileged locations forming the nexus of magical encounters." Featuring cameos by Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Demy, Jean-Claude Brialy, and Rivette himself. (140 mins., 35mm)

Weird Al Yankovic

Where: Celeste Center

Date: 2007-08-08 19:00:00

Type:

Since 'My Bologna' hit the airwaves in the '80s, Weird Al's career has successfully spoofed Michael Jackson on up to 2003's 'Poodle Hat' and a recent guest-stint on 'The Simpsons.' In other words, Weird Al is about as popular as ever. His song parodies and originals have been a staple on 'The Dr. Demento Show,' while his live shows are a comedic tour de force.

Yellowman

Where: The Alrosa Villa

Date: 2007-09-29 21:00:00

Type:

"King" Yellowman as he is known, is one of the most popular reggae artists to have come from Jamaica. His early-'80s success brought the popularity of toasting - the reggae equivalent of rapping - to a whole new level, and helped establish dancehall as the wave of the future. Yellowman was one of the most verbally nimble toasters of his time, with a loose, easy flow, a talent for improvisation, and a definite wit in his wordplay.
