FILM SCHEDULE
JOAN RIVERS: A PIECE OF WORK
““Joan Rivers gave the filmmakers access to her life for a year, she was frank, open and honest, and the result is one of the most truthful documentaries about show business I’ve seen. Also, maybe the funniest.”” Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun Times. Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, this candid documentary focuses on comedian Joan Rivers as she turns 75.
FESTIVAL DE LA RISA
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is pleased to join with the Lone Star Film Society and the Consulate General of Mexico in Dallas in presenting a celebration of Mexican culture and lighthearted cinema. Featuring films, lectures, discussions, live music, dancing and gourmet Mexican cuisine, this festival commemorates the 200th anniversary of Mexican independence and the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution.
GET LOW
Robert Duvall heads up an all-star cast in this unique film spun out of equal parts folk tale, fable and real-life legend about the mysterious, 1930s Tennessee hermit who famously threw his own rollicking funeral party...while he was still alive.
PG-13 for some thematic material and brief violent content; 100 minutes
WILD GRASS
“Arguably Resnais’s trippiest, most freely associative experiment since 1968’s Je t’aime, je t’aime (a critical and commercial failure in its day,) Wild Grass zig-zags zanily from one genre to the next: Sometimes, it’s a screwball comedy (complete with a couple of Keystone-worthy cops played by Mathieu Amalric and Michel Vuillermoz); sometimes, it’s a thriller; sometimes, it’s an old-fashioned movie romance. All the while, the camera of cinematographer Eric Gautier swoops and glides like Marguerite’s plane, through fields of gauzy, diffuse light punctuated by neon accents.” Scott Foundas, The Village Voice. Wild Grass, the 18th feature film directed by Alain Resnais, arrives exactly 50 years after his debut, Hiroshima mon amour.
