Sat, Oct 24 at 4:30pm
directed by Billy Wilder
with James Cagney, Arlene Francis
James Cagney plays a Coca-Cola rep working in Berlin, pre-Wall, in Wilder's corrosive satire that targets everything in sight, including capitalism, consumerism and Communism. "But in our taste-free, post-Communist age, One, Two, Three can now be seen as prophetic of the eventual Fall [of the Wall] itself, as well as a latter-day classic of screwball comedy." (Film Forum) 35mm
1961, color, 1 hr 48 min, USA
The Baader-Meinhof Complex
Wed, Oct 28 at 6:45pm
directed by Uli Edel
with Martina Gedeck, Moritz Bleibtreu, Johanna Wokalek
A sprawling look at the infamous left wing collective The Red Army Faction who terrorized 1970s Germany with a wave of assassinations, bank robberies, kidnappings, and bombings. In the film, a pair of lovers, Andreas Baader and Gudrun Ensslin, are joined by a journalist, Ulrike Meinhof, who abandons her family after writing about the group, which makes her a convert to their philosophy of violent overthrow. "Baader Meinhof is an exploitation film on a socially conscious subject, the equivalent of Steven Soderbergh's Che having a love child with The Fast and the Furious."
