"Blood Money", "Day of Wrath" introduced by Guy Maddin

Blood Money Program introduced by Guy Maddin (Rowland Brown, 1933) Day of Wrath (Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1943) // Double Feature Thu, May 24 - Fri, May 25, 2007 | 7:00PM Film/Video Theater Madden pairs a "pre-Code" Hollywood classic and a masterpiece of Danish cinema. Second feature start time: 8:30 PM Blood Money is one of the best--if shamefully seldom seen--daring dramas of Hollywood's "pre-Code" days. Maddin has a special fondness for this era, as you’ll know if you are already familiar with his "Jolly Corner" column in Film Comment. Set in a Los Angeles underworld populated by corrupt politicians, cross-dressers, and pool sharks, it follows a crooked bail bondsman (George Bancroft) who falls for his client, a rich nymphomaniac arrested for shoplifting (Francis Dee). (65 mins., 35mm) Carl Theodor Dreyer's masterpiece Day of Wrath appears to inform all of Maddin's films, perhaps none more so than Careful. Day of Wrath is a tale of repression and paranoia filmed in Denmark during the Nazi occupation. Set during a time of witch hunts in a 17th-century village, the film follows the tragedy that results when a young minister's wife falls for her grown stepson. (97 mins., 35mm)

Joan the Maid. Part II: The Prisons (Jacques Rivette, 1993)
Where: Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University

Joan the Maid Part II: The Prisons (1993) Fri, Apr 27, 2007 | 7:00PM Film/Video Theater Sandrine Bonnaire, one of France's greatest actresses, gives the performance of a lifetime in Rivette's adaptation of the Joan of Arc story. Rivette creates what may be the definitive version of this oft-told tale, skipping the trial that dominated the filmic interpretations of Carl Dreyer and Robert Bresson and focusing on the actual flesh-and-blood Joan. See Part I: The Battles on Thursday, April 26 at 7 PM. Conceived as two feature films that could be seen separately, the epic is "involving, thought-provoking and, as Jeanne mounts the stake, profoundly moving" (Time Out Film Guide). We'll be showing Rivette's original cut, nearly two hours longer and vastly richer than the butchered version available on DVD in the States. (Part I: 160 mins., 35mm; Part II: 176 mins., 35mm)

Bamako preceeded by the Anthem
Where: Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University
Date: 2007-08-10 19:00:00

"I have never seen a film quite like Bamako... [it's] a work of cool intelligence and profound anger, a long, dense argument that is also a haunting visual poem."—A.O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES A mock trial examining the impact of the West's economic policies on Africa is the centerpiece of Bamako, set, as the title indicates, in the capital city of Mali. Against this highly charged background, the tenuous relationship between a sexy lounge singer and her unemployed husband, a suspect in the theft of a gun, unwinds. Danny Glover is an executive producer for the film and also appears in a small role. (118 mins., 35mm) In The Anthem, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the director of Syndromes and a Century, plays on the Thai tradition of playing the Royal Anthem before feature films: he proposes a "Cinema Anthem" to bless the approaching feature and clear the minds of the audience. (5 mins., 35mm) Weerasethakul, a former Wexner Center Residency Award recipient in media arts, introduced screenings of some of his earlier films here in November 2004.
