REALITY

Directed by MATTEO GARRONE/Italy/2012/116mins.

With Aniello Arena, Loredana Simioli, Nando Paone

From acclaimed director Matteo Garrone, REALITY is a darkly comic look at Luciano, a charming and affable fishmonger whose unexpected and sudden obsession with being a contestant on the reality show “Big Brother” leads him down a rabbit hole of skewed perceptions and paranoia. So overcome by his dream of being on reality TV, Luciano’s own reality begins to spiral out of control, making for one of the most compelling tragicomic character studies since Scorsese’s The King of Comedy.

And SUMMER HOURS…

Directed by OLIVIER ASSAYAS/France/2013/122mins.

With Clément Métayer, Lola Créton, Félix Armond, Carol Combes

In the months after the heady weeks of May ’68, a group of young people search for a way to continue the revolution believed to be just beginning. For Gilles (newcomer Clément Mettayer), this means having to balance his political commitments with his desire to explore painting and filmmaking; for his girlfriend Christine (Goodbye, First Love star Lola Créton), this means throwing herself wholeheartedly into the task of organizing. Olivier Assayas (Carlos, Summer Hours) here describes the sentimental education of a generation that was too young to have been on the barricades; he brilliantly captures its explorations of new lifestyles, the arguments about strategies and tactics, and above all its music, a constant presence that becomes something like the artistic unconscious of an era. The period details are perfect, but what makes this film so special is the sense it conveys of history as lived experience.

POST TENEBRAS LUX

Directed bY CARLOS REYGADAS/Mexico/2012/115mins.

With Adolfo Jiménez Castro, Nathalia Acevedo, Willebaldo Torres

LIMITED EDITION POSTER FOR SALE AT MBC!

“POST TENEBRAS LUX (“light after darkness”), ostensibly the story of an upscale, urban family whose move to the Mexican countryside results in domestic crises and class friction, is a stunningly photographed, impressionistic psychological portrait of a family and their place within the sublime, unforgiving natural world. By turns entrancing and mystifying, POST TENEBRAS LUX palpably explores the primal conflicts of the human condition.”- Mike Maggiore, Film Forum

WINNER: Best Director,

Cannes Film Festival

“The film may seem mysterious at first sight. But I really hope that by not giving you any simply answers, you eventually feel how much I respect you as a viewer…I truly appreciate the directors that don’t try to lead me by the hand through their stories. I want to be considered one of them.”–Carlos Reygadas

“★★★★★ THIS IS A FILM-AN OPUS OF CINEMATIC ART-THAT EXPLORES TO VARIOUS EXTENTS THE FUNCTION OF ANXIETY IN WAKING LIFE AND DREAMS. Fear and desire, these twin engines propel “Post Tenebras Lux…a beguiling and richly thematic work of cinema, and confirms Carlos Reygadas as a modern master of the medium. He has captured something remarkable, here.”-Martyn Conterio, Scene360

“STUNNINGLY PHOTOGRAPHED, IMPRESSIONISTIC”-Mike Maggiore, Film Forum

“The marvellous Mexican director Carlos Reygadas (Japon,

BattleIn Heaven, Silent Light) is a filmmaker given to making films that jar… There isn’t really a story in Post Tenebras Lux; more an examination of social class abstracted…All this sounds like criticism, but Reygadas is, from a certain point of view, one of modern cinema’s masters: a director who wants to work with productive frustration as he creates images using a distorting, bevelled lens to size up a world that is itself distorted.”

Olivier Assayas (Carlos, Summer Hours) here describes the sentimental education of a generation that was too young to have been on the barricades; he brilliantly captures its explorations of new lifestyles, the arguments about strategies and tactics, and above all its music, a constant presence that becomes something like the artistic unconscious of an era. The period details are perfect, but what makes this film so special is the sense it conveys of history as lived experience.

POST TENEBRAS LUX

Directed bY CARLOS REYGADAS/Mexico/2012/115mins.

With Adolfo Jiménez Castro, Nathalia Acevedo, Willebaldo Torres

LIMITED EDITION POSTER FOR SALE AT MBC!

“POST TENEBRAS LUX (“light after darkness”), ostensibly the story of an upscale, urban family whose move to the Mexican countryside results in domestic crises and class friction, is a stunningly photographed, impressionistic psychological portrait of a family and their place within the sublime, unforgiving natural world. By turns entrancing and mystifying, POST TENEBRAS LUX palpably explores the primal conflicts of the human condition.”- Mike Maggiore, Film Forum

WINNER: Best Director,

Cannes Film Festival

“The film may seem mysterious at first sight. But I really hope that by not giving you any simply answers, you eventually feel how much I respect you as a viewer…I truly appreciate the directors that don’t try to lead me by the hand through their stories. I want to be considered one of them.”–Carlos Reygadas

“★★★★★ THIS IS A FILM-AN OPUS OF CINEMATIC ART-THAT EXPLORES TO VARIOUS EXTENTS THE FUNCTION OF ANXIETY IN WAKING LIFE AND DREAMS. Fear and desire, these twin engines propel “Post Tenebras Lux…a beguiling and richly thematic work of cinema, and confirms Carlos Reygadas as a modern master of the medium. He has captured something remarkable, here.”-Martyn Conterio, Scene360

“STUNNINGLY PHOTOGRAPHED, IMPRESSIONISTIC”-Mike Maggiore, Film Forum

“The marvellous Mexican director Carlos Reygadas (Japon,

BattleIn Heaven, Silent Light) is a filmmaker given to making films that jar… There isn’t really a story in Post Tenebras Lux; more an examination of social class abstracted…All this sounds like criticism, but Reygadas is, from a certain point of view, one of modern cinema’s masters: a director who wants to work with productive frustration as he creates images using a distorting, bevelled lens to size up a world that is itself distorted.”

MBC Great Director Series

“FRITZ LANG: From Austria to America”

Retrospective and Exhibition of vintage Lang memorabilia

Encore screening of the MBC Premiere Engagement!

THE COMPLETE METROPOLIS

Directed by FRITZ LANG/Germany/1926/148mins.

Screenplay by Thea von Harbou
With Alfred Abel, Brigitte Helm, Gustav Fröhlich, Rudolf Klein-Rogge
Music by Gottfried Huppertz

Incorporating more than 25 minutes of newly discovered footage, this 2010 restoration of Metropolis is the definitive edition of Fritz Lang’s science fiction masterpiece. Backed by a new recording of Gottfried Huppertz’s 1927 score (presented here in 5.1 Stereo Surround), the film’s dazzling visual design and special effects are more striking than ever. And the integration of scenes and subplots long considered lost endows Metropolis with even greater tension and emotional resonance, as it dramatizes the conflict between wealthy über-capitalists and rebellious subterranean laborersundefinedorchestrated by a diabolical scientist capable of destroying them both. (Silent with English title cards).

“ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED MOVIES IN CINEMA HISTORY...For the first time, Lang’s vision... which has influenced contemporary films
like “Blade Runner” and “Star Wars,” seems complete.”-New York Times

"A MASTERPIECE OF VISIONARY SILENT CINEMA...Just about every science-fiction movie you can think of pays tribute to its influence, but to date none has matched its strangeness or its prophetic power."
- A.O. Scott, The New York Times

(Retrospective and Exhibition continues through July)

Bert Stern: Original Mad Man is the definitive voyage into the life and work of one of the greatest American photographers of all time. After working alongside Stanley Kubrick at Look Magazine, Stern became an original Madison Avenue "mad man," his images helping to create modern advertising. Groundbreaking photos of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Marilyn Monroe, Twiggy and the infamous Lolita image from Kubrick’s film, coupled with his astonishing success in advertising, minted Stern – along with Irving Penn and Richard Avedon – as a celebrity in his own right; indeed, Stern’s photographs of Monroe in her last sitting are considered to be the ultimate images of the 20th century icon. Filmmaker Shannah Laumeister uncovers Stern - from his bad boy antics (including a liaison with Monroe) to his iconic photography.

"A REMARKABLY CANDID AND REVEALING DOCUMENTARY. Laumeister and Stern’s relationship undefined one of muse and mentor undefined is intimate and complex, and this unconventional film reflects that.” –TIME Magazine

"Bert Stern was photography's baddest bad boy. He busted conventions, created iconic images with groundbreaking conceptual photography in advertising's "creative evolution."- Steven Heller, The Atlantic

"EYE-OPENING, INTRIGUING, AND TIMELY. A highly intimate, fascinating portrait."-Frank Schleck, The Hollywood Reporter

Special US Theatrical Premiere Screening

In collaboration with Emerging Pictures!

With webcast Q&A with director

Kenneth Branagh

This classic Mozart opera, brilliantly reimagined and adapted for the big-screen by multiple Oscar nominee Branagh, premiered at the Toronto and Venice International Film Festivals and had limited runs around the world but never received a theatrical release here in the US. Until now.
THE MAGIC FLUTE
Directed by KENNETH BRANAGH/134mins.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart/ sung in English

Mozart’s classic opera The Magic Flute is breathtakingly transformed in a spectacular film version conceived and directed by Kenneth Branagh with a newly-adapted libretto by Stephen Fry. With musical director James Conlon conducting the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, the film showcases opera stars René Pape, Tom Randle, Lyubov Petrova and Silvia Moi in a romantic adventure story of humanity and fellowship, weaving drama with comedy. Branagh “...brings magic and a new life to Mozart” (Classic FM). A perennial favorite for generations of opera-goers this production is a visually extraordinary cinematic experience that the LA Times called “exuberant!”

"You'll have a rollicking good two hours amidst the frenzy that is Kenneth Branagh's take on The Magic Flute... There's no reason why we've had to wait more than two years since its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival to see it on a big screen."- Toronto Star

"Branagh's "Flute" is a joy... Fascinatingly re-imagines Mozart's opera.. Branagh's vision of the Great War is awful and magical at the same time.
- Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times

The film will be followed by webcast Q&A from London with director KENNETH BRANAGH

MBC Great Director Series

“FRITZ LANG: From Austria to America”

Retrospective and Exhibition of vintage Lang memorabilia

WOMAN IN THE MOON

(FRAU IM MOND)

Directed by FRITZ LANG/Germany/1929/169mins.

With Gerda Maurus, Willy Fritch, Klaus Pohl, Fritz Rasp

Two years after revolutionizing the science fiction film with his epic Metropolis, director Fritz Lang revisited the genre with an ambitious spectacle that dramatizes the first lunar expedition. Rather than a flight of pure fantasy, Lang, screenwriter Thea von Harbou and a group of technical consultants conceived a modernized "Trip to the Moon" grounded in state-of-the-art astrophysics. Spiced with romance and espionage (including a network of diabolical super-spies straight out of Lang’s Mabuse films), Woman in the Moon was one of the most influential science fiction films of its era. Newly restored from 35mm archival elements, this edition includes more footage than any version previously seen in the U.S.

(Retrospective and Exhibition contines through July)

“Best of

(Winner, Critic’s Week Grand Prix)

AQUÍ Y ALLÁ

(Here and There)

Directed by ANTONIO MÉNDEZ ESPARZA/Spain/Mexico/2012/110mins.

With Pedro de los Santos, Teresa García Hernández

Pedro returns home to a small mountain village in

Guerrero, Mexico

after years of working in the

U.S.

His daughters feel more distant that he imagined, but his wife Teresa is delighted he’s back. With the money he’s earned he can create a better life for his family, and maybe even start the band with his cousins he’s dreamed about for years. But work back home remains scarce, and the temptation of heading back north of the border remains as strong as ever. Antonio Mendez Esparza has made a most remarkable debut; rarely, if ever, has a film about US/Mexican border experience felt so fresh or authentic. Using non-professionals, Mendez Esparza gets remarkably nuanced performances that gives a richness of nuance and detail to each of his characters that goes way beyond cliché and stereotype.

Chris (Steve Oram) wants to show Tina (Alice Lowe) his world and he wants to do it his way - on a journey through the British Isles in his beloved Abbey Oxford Caravan. Tina's led a sheltered life and there are things that Chris needs her to see - the Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, the Keswick Pencil Museum and the rolling countryside that accompanies these wonders in his life. But it doesn't take long for the dream to fade. Litterbugs, noisy teenagers and pre-booked caravan sites, not to mention Tina's meddling mother, soon conspire to shatter Chris's dreams and send him, and anyone who rubs him up the wrong way, over a very jagged edge...

“Out In The Tropics” screening

Miami Premiere!

VERDE VERDE

Directed by Enrique Pineda Barnet/Cuba/2012/74mins.

Produced by the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Arts

With Héctor Noas, Carlos Miguel Caballero

A man desperately flees through a labyrinth in search of a way out. During his escape, he runs into apparitions that block his passage. In a port bar, Alfredo, merchant marine paramedic, meets Carlos, IT professional with dreams of becoming a pilot. The traveler invites Carlos to his hangar in the port...

Verde Verde is only the second Cuban film (after the infamous Strawberry and Chocolate) to take up the theme of homophobia in

Cuba

. Director Pineda Barnet describes the film as a tragic psychological thriller, presenting the age-old conflict of love versus hate, set in a timeless, universal location. One of the fundamental messages of Verde Verde is the need to confront extremism, prejudice and phobias that lead to the destruction of society. From this perspective, Barnet exalts human values such as love, honesty and authenticity. (In Spanish with English subtitles).

“Now that the campaign against homophobia in

Cuba

is fashionable, this is the right moment to bring to the surface so much contained eagerness in showing the many green faces masked in fear to show how mature they are.”-Dariela Aquique, HavanaTimes

The film will be followed with Q&A with

Actor Carlos Miguel Caballero

With Peter Lorre, Otto Wernicke, Gustav Grundgens

Fritz Lang's classic story of a child murderer brought to justice is now available in a brand-new 2k restoration. Peter Lorre stars as Hans Beckert, a recently released asylum inmate with a compulsion to kill little girls. In an attempt to capture the killer, the police pressure the city's criminal underworld, which in turn endeavors to find the killer themselves. Using a network of prostitutes, pickpockets and thugs, the criminals close in on Beckert and put him on trial in their own court.

“XAVIER DOLAN: THEN & NOW”

Never released in the US until now…

Miami Theatrical Premiere

I KILLED MY MOTHER

(J’ai tué ma mère)

Directed by XAVIER DOLAN/Canada/2009/US release 2013/96min.

With Xavier Dolan, Anne Dorval, François Arnaud, Suzanne Clement

Focusing on the relationship between Hubert Minel (Xavier Dolan), a 16-year-old Quebecois living in suburban Montreal, and his single mother Chantale (Anne Dorval), I Killed My Mother beautifully captures the anxieties of a mother-son relationship. While he gauges her with contempt, only seeing her out-of-date sweater and kitschy decor, the ingrained mechanisms (i.e. manipulation and guilt) of their relationship beautifully (and tragically) unravel on the big screen. After its 2009 debut, I Killed My Mother was nominated for dozens of international film festival awards, and quickly became an international sensation - launching Dolan's career in the international film scene. But in the US, the film was never released: until now.

“XAVIER DOLAN: THEN & NOW”

US Theatrical Premiere Engagement

From Executive Producer Gus Van Sant

Directed by XAVIER DOLAN/Canada/2012/168min.

With Melvin Poupaud, Suzanne Clément, Nathalie Baye, Monia Chokri

Laurence Anyways tells the story of an impossible love between Frédérique and her long-term boyfriend Laurence, a man who reveals his inner desire to become his true self: a woman. Set during the late 1980s and early 1990s, the story spans a decade, chronicling the doomed love of Fred and Laurence, as well as the trials and tribulations that they face. (In French with English subtitles).

“A BEAUTIFUL FILM THAT PROVES THAT XAVIER IS ONE OF THE MOST PROMISING YOUNG FILMMAKERS WORKING TODAY”-Gus Van Sant

“I watch Laurence Anyways and I see my childhood still secretly at play. To be clear, I do not wish to become a woman, and my film is an homage to the ultimate love story: ambitious, impossible, the love we want to be sensational, boundless, the love that we don’t dare hope for, the love that only cinema, books, and art provide. Laurence Anyways is an homage to the time in my life, before I became a director, when I had to become a man”

-Xavier Dolan

“ONE OF THE BEST FILMS I SAW AT TIFF…Dolan deigns to sidestep banal sensitivity and useless platitudes, opting instead to examine a life, rather than the "issue" as an abstraction, with exceptional depth and rigor…his characters are tangles of confused and often baffling thoughts, feelings, and motivations because regular people are, too, and it's one of his principal virtues as a dramatist that his characters are ultimately as complicated and multifaceted as the issues he unpacks.-Calum Marsh, Slant Magazine

Never released in the US until now…

Miami Theatrical Premiere

I KILLED MY MOTHER

(J’ai tué ma mère)

Directed by XAVIER DOLAN/Canada/2009/US release 2013/96min.

With Xavier Dolan, Anne Dorval, François Arnaud, Suzanne Clement

Focusing on the relationship between Hubert Minel (Xavier Dolan), a 16-year-old Quebecois living in suburban Montreal, and his single mother Chantale (Anne Dorval), I Killed My Mother beautifully captures the anxieties of a mother-son relationship. While he gauges her with contempt, only seeing her out-of-date sweater and kitschy decor, the ingrained mechanisms (i.e. manipulation and guilt) of their relationship beautifully (and tragically) unravel on the big screen. After its 2009 debut, I Killed My Mother was nominated for dozens of international film festival awards, and quickly became an international sensation - launching Dolan's career in the international film scene. But in the US, the film was never released: until now.
