Today from 18:30-21.30 hrs, the UvA Film Club will host their next screening in HVL/BuzzHouse’s Co-Working Space! This week's film is Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (Elio Petri, 1970), with an introduction by Enrico Maria Gennari.

A man kills his lover, leaves her apartment, and drives to the police station. We, the audience, might believe that he is turning himself in, only to find out that he is a high-ranking police officer who just got a big promotion.

This is the premise of Elio Petri’s Investigation, the movie that won him an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. With this film, Petri consolidates his collaboration with lead actor Gian Maria Volonté and composer Ennio Morricone. Volonté masterfully plays the “dottore”, a character who does not need a first name, because he is the physical embodiment of power and violence. Morricone contributes with yet another stunning melody, creating a bizarre, almost surreal atmosphere that surrounds the unfolding events of the film.

Investigation is a reflection on power, justice, and impunity. It perfectly encapsulates the political climate in Italy during the late 60s and early 70s, and yet it tells a story which is still tragically relevant today.

Today from 18:30-21.30 hrs, the UvA Film Club will host their next screening in HVL/BuzzHouse’s Co-Working Space! This week's film is Invasion of the Body Snatchers (dir. Philip Kaufman, 1978), with an introduction by Prof. Abe Geil.

At once sci-fi horror and a neo-noir conspiracy film, Invasion of the Body Snatchers brought the idea of “pod people” into popular consciousness–an allegory that keeps on giving. This scenario of alien spores that would replace humanity by producing precise copies of every person on earth has itself proven a prolific duplication machine. It’s been remade and riffed upon countless times, from Robert Rodriguez’s The Faculty (1998) to Pluribus. Kaufman’s remake of the 1956 original transplants the story from a small town setting to San Francisco of the late 1970s. In a blistering essay on San Francisco in the period, Rebecca Solnit declared Invasion of the Body Snatchers to be “1978’s definitive film.” Poised between the social revolutions of the 1960s and 1970s and the long counterrevolutions from the 1980s to the present, the film inhabits a period of what Antonio Gramsci called the interregnum. The most complex (and entertaining!) of all the versions, Kaufman’s film compels us to think a “time of monsters.”ubitsch’s directing and the undeniable chemistry between Melvyn Douglas and Greta Garbo.

Today from 18:30-21.30 hrs, the UvA Film Club will host their next screening in HVL/BuzzHouse’s Co-Working Space! This week's film is Ninotchka (dir. Ernst Lubitsch, 1939), with an introduction by Jette Kalma.

Three Soviet agents in Paris tasked with the selling of jewelry acquired during the revolution find themselves in difficulties. Another agent gets sent to aid the three, it ends up being Ninotchka, a cold stern woman who gets straight to the point. But her time in Paris gets complicated when confronted with the temptations of a capitalist society and especially the men that inhabit it. Ninotchka, played marvelously by MGM star Greta Garbo who would go on to earn an Oscar nomination for the role, falls for the man who is helping the original owner of the jewelry regain ownership.

The romantic comedy contains broad clashes between white and red Russia, casually touches on the recent outbreak of World War Two and the issues of communism and capitalism alike. This film, functioning as a piece of American propaganda that caricatures Soviet Russia, interestingly does not leave the capitalist world unscathed. The film gives an interesting, humorous pre-cold war and pre-McCarthyism view on Soviet Russia and Paris and by extension, Hollywood. But beyond the political implications the film is a soppy romantic film perfectly done through Ernst Lubitsch’s directing and the undeniable chemistry between Melvyn Douglas and Greta Garbo.

Today from 18:00-21.00 hrs, the UvA Film Club will host their next screening in HVL/BuzzHouse’s Co-Working Space! This week's film is Only Angels Have Wings (dir. Howard Hawks, 1939), with an introduction by Parker Burrows.

Starry-eyed tourist Bonnie Lee takes a short layover in stormy port town Barranca and is quickly charmed by a community of adrenaline-junkie mail carrier pilots who live and die for the dangerous rush of their job. Only Angels Have Wings emblematizes the passionate signatures of iconic Hollywood filmmaker Howard hawks, one of the first directors to be designated the reverential label auteur by the future faces of the French New Wave. Hawks’ magical gift of seamlessly navigating between genres is on full display as the film erratically dances from Hays Code-defying romance to screwball comedy to melodramatic tragedy to high-octane suspense in just a few blinks of an eye. Just as deliriously impulsive are the characters, whose every action is ruled by the looming presence of the death drive: their swelling professions of passion, their sudden visions of the afterlife, and everything in between. Featuring star turns from Jean Taylor and Cary Grant and the breakout role for soon-to-be-superstar Rita Hayworth, Only Angels Have Wings presents an iconic era of Old Hollywood cinema that remains potent with danger and desire.

Today from 18:00-21.00 hrs, the UvA Film Club will host their next screening in HVL/BuzzHouse’s Co-Working Space! This week's film is Landscape in the Mist (dir. Theo Angelopoulos, 1988), with an introduction by Gia Tue Trinh.

In the midst of a silent morning, Voula and her five-year-old brother, Alexandros, wake up and slip out of Athens to find their dad, said to be waiting for them in Germany. Two reluctant Odysseuses are thrown into an errant pilgrimage where Greek myths dissolve into existential dread, absurdist imageries, and perpetual absence of “home”. Drifting through the liminal spaces of railroads, highways, and city streets, two children find themselves engulfed in a series of desolate landscapes. In the silence of the mist, something disquieted, eroded yet mythic and metaphysical about collective memory and loss is spoken out.

Theo Angelopoulos’s Landscape in the Mist becomes, perhaps, a point of departure for reflecting on and beyond the “failures” of contemporary life and the unembellished material and symbolic violence that it carries.
