•Jacques Tati & Chaplin

Jacques Tati’s Playtime (Le temps des loisirs) is an essential experience in theatrical viewing -- and reviewing, and reviewing; it begs to be seen on the big screen. It is not just a brilliant and graceful observational comedy about “modern living”, but one the most massive undertakings in film history (shot over two years, with a total of 365 days of shooting, and edited for another year). Tati invested every penny he had, and then borrowed more, in order to create the ultimate movie set as playpen, constructing on the outskirts of Paris a “Tati-ville” for Mr. Hulot to wander around in: a complete futurist office building and its surrounding urban environment were built exactly to his specifications.

Dir. Jacques Tati, 1967, 35mm, 155 min.

Followed by Modern Times - 10:45pm
Serious and silly, contemplative and crazy, Modern Times is an unmissable treasure.
Dir. Charles Chaplin, 1936, 35mm, 87 min.

A fascinating psychological study, a socio-critical investigation – and Isabelle Adjani’s first film in five years.
Adjani plays Sonia Bergerac, a teacher at a tough junior high. Despite the principal’s warnings, she wears a skirt to work. She simply wants to teach her class but the insults are just too much. Scared and taking antidepressants, Sonia finds a gun in a bag belonging to one of her students; she takes her class hostage so she can finally teach a proper lesson on Molière.

DERNIER JOUR | LAST DAY

•Eric Baudelaire

In his first U.S. museum solo show, Paris-based Eric Baudelaire will present his video Sugar Water (2007).
The action takes place on a Paris metro platform where a billposter covers a large advertising billboard with a sequence of images that depict a car parked on a Parisian street that bursts into flames, becomes swallowed up in smoke, and then remains only as a skeleton of the former car.
Using a laborious traditional system to mount the details of each image, this cinematic event gradually unfolds over the 72-minute film, offering a slow contemplative consideration of political violence as a counterpoint to the rapid barrage of images we typically experience in our news media.
Despite its slow, nearly meditative pace, Baudelaire creates a haunting and provocative work that completely absorbs the viewer.
