The FleapitCinema ClubEleventh SeasonSeptember 2007 - April 2008

The Lavender Hill Mob21/9/071951. UK. 78 min. B&W.Director: Charles CrichtonAlec Guinness, Stanley Holloway, Sid James, Alfie BassWe kick off with a classic Ealing comedy – wittily andunpredictably scripted by T.E.B. Clarke (for which hedeservedly snaffled an Oscar), this is the quintessential Englishcaper movie. In many ways a companion piece to TheLadykillers, even though, or perhaps because, Alec Guinness’scentral role in both films is so different. Here he plays, withinfectious delight, a mousy milquetoast named Holland, themost unlikely of thieves. He is aided and abetted by a grandcast including Sid James having a ball and a very youngAudrey Hepburn. But don’t blink during the opening scene ifyou want to catch her.Funny GirlSunday Matinée - 3:00pm30/9/071968. USA. 151 min. Colour.Director: William WylerBarbra Streisand, Omar Sharif, Kay Medford,Anne Francis, Walter PidgeonRepeating her Broadway role, Streisand stars as legendarycomedienne Fanny Brice (1891-1951) and gives a typicallybravura performance, belting out ‘People who need People’just as it should be. The perfect Sunday afternoon flic, it evenoffers a rare on-screen appearance by Mae Questel, the voiceof Betty Boop, among others. Streisand and Medford becamethe 34th and 35th performers nominated for Oscars for work ina film directed by Wyler, a record which still stands.Shallow Grave5/10/071994. UK. 91 min.ColourDirector: Danny BoyleEwan McGregor, Kerry Fox, Christopher Eccleston,Keith AllenThe feature film debut of Scottish director Danny Boyle is adark, hip, Generation X comedy about a trio of Edinburghroommates whose narcissistic greed fuels murder and betrayaland has much in common with the stylistic gymnastics of Coenbrothers films, particularly Blood Simple. Boisterous journalistAlex (Ewan McGregor), flirtatious doctor Juliet (Kerry Fox),and meek accountant David (Christopher Eccleston) areseeking a fourth person to share their stylish flat, and finallysettle on Hugo (Keith Allen). But no sooner has Hugo movedin when he is found dead in his bed alongside a valisecontaining vast amounts of cash

five hundred dollars each to finish a house, the two set to it,but the racket disturbs a nearby hospital and both a nurse anda policeman insist that the noise be kept to a minimum. Guesswhat happens next Shooting Stars1927. UK. 70 min. B&W.Director: A.V. Bramble, Anthony AsquithAnnette Benson, Brian Aherne, Donald CalthropProbably the first and only time we will show a film written anddirected by the youngest child of a British Prime Minister – butAnthony Asquith was, during his lifetime, one of our mostpopular and successful directors. Set in the British filmindustry, it tells a steamy story of murder, ambition andadultery – with some fine plot twists along the way.My Little Chickadee4/4/081940. USA. 91 min. B&W.Director: Edward F. ClineAnnette Benson, Brian Aherne, Donald CalthropThe once-in-a-lifetime pairing of Mae West and W.C. Fieldsproduced a unique comedy that combines a convoluted WildWest plot with opportunities for the two stars to do their partypieces – some of which really hit the mark. The script wasactually written by West, though the two share the credit.Despite a mutual hatred, Fields said that West captured hischaracter better than any other writer. And where else will youhear W.C. Fields inviting Mae West to ‘come up and see mesometime’ and West replying by calling Fields ‘My littleChickadee.’West Side Story18/4/081961. USA. 151 min. Colour.7:00 for 7:30Director: Jerome Robins, Robert WiseNatalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn,Rita Moreno, George ChakirisNot just one of the truly great musicals, but one of the trulygreat films. Toe-tappingly exuberant, powerful and joyous, it’siconic status is so well deserved. And it’s British – well, theplot was nicked from Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet!Somehow the film managed to make a seamless transitionfrom stage musical to screen classic with the full leonardBernstein/Stephen Sondheim score and the choreography ofJerome Robbins blissfully intact. West Side Story swept theOscars, taking ten awards including Best Picture. As ourseason finale this film will start 7:30pm and a hot supper willbe served in the interval.

Starter for Ten14/12/072006. UK. 95 min. Colour.Director: Tom VaughanJames McAvoy, Rebecca Hall, Charles Dance,Catherine TateOne of the few advantages of the English obsession with classis its comic possibilities, exploited here with warmth and greathumour. It’s the 1980s and our working-class hero from Essexhas made it to Bristol University, much to the disgust of hismother (nicely played by Catherine Tate) who has disownedhim as a consequence, Undeterred, he follows his dream andmakes it onto Bristol’s University Challenge team and thentries to woo one of his posh team mates El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan’s Labyrinth) 4/1/082006. Spain. 120 min. Colour.Director: Guillermo del ToroAriadna Gil, Ivana Baquero, Sergi López, Maribel Verdú,Doug JonesMexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro returns to thephantasmagorical with this haunting fantasy-drama set in theaftermath of the Spanish Civil War and detailing the strangejourneys of an imaginative young girl who may be themythical princess of an underground kingdom. Del Toro’sperfectly balanced screenplay and assured skills as a visualstoryteller; fearless performances from an immensely talentedcast; Javier Navarrete's lullaby score and special effects thatdazzle and horrify all fall beautifully into place to create agenuinely affecting adult fairy tale.Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf18/1/081966. USA. 150 min. ColourDirector: Mike NicolsElizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, George Segal,Sandy DennisThe original film poster read: "You are cordially invited toGeorge and Martha's for an evening of fun and games."Though ‘fun and games’ hardly describes the seething, acidicill will and unmitigated vitriol dished up by Taylor and Burtonin towering form playing the married leads. Not surprisingly, itwas the first film to have its entire main cast nominated forOscars (it won five) and remains today one of the very beststage-to-screen adaptations. Steamy über-drama at its finest.

La Belle et la Bête Sunday Matinée - 3:00pm 27/1/081946. France. 120 min. B&W.Director: Jean CocteauJosette Day, Jean Marais, Mila ParélyThanks to Disney, we all know the story but this masterlyversion, understandably Cocteau's most popular film, is themost faithful to the 1756 fairy tale by Jeanne-Marie leprincede Beaumont. The film features tight, economical storytelling,brilliant costume and set design and enough visual fireworks(including many stunningly executed optical effects) toenrapture. The acting is uniformly, well, wonderful - JosetteDay makes a stunning Belle and Cocteau regular, Jean Marais,excels in a triple role that includes the magnificent Beast. Thisis the film that proved fairy tales are wasted on the young.Bombón - El Perro1/2/082004. Argentina. 97 min. Colour.Director: Carlos SorinJuan Villegas, Walter Donado, Gregorio the dog,Rosa ValsecchiOur first foray into Argentinean cinema is a shaggy dog story- a gentle, bitter-sweet peripatetic comedy-drama about arecently unemployed Patagonian mechanic attempting torebuild his life. Having hit the road to sell his finely craftedhomemade knives, he rescues a woman stranded far fromhome and is rewarded with a magnificent, specially-bredArgentine dog he decides to take on the dog-show circuit aidedby a carefree dog trainer named Walter It’s a lovely little filmwith bold, crisp compositions, pretty light, rolling landscapesand a sentimental guitar score.O Brother, Where Art Thou15/2/082000. USA. 106 min. Colour.Director: Joel CoenGeorge Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson,Charles Durning, John Goodman, Holly HunterWorks of the writing, directing, and production team of Joeland Ethan Coen are frequently requested and this season it’sthe turn of their picaresque comedy set in the Deep Southduring the Depression and loosely based on Homer’s Odyssey.Suave and fancy-talking Everett Ulysses McGill (GeorgeClooney in tip-top form), dim-witted Delmar, and easilyexcitable Pete are serving time on a chain gang. Everett knowswhere 1.2 million is hidden and the three manage to escapeleading to a wild and enjoyable adventure. The result is a lotmore boisterous than the Cohen’s usual fare, accentuated bythe fabulous Blue Grass score.

Zwartboek (Black Book)29/2/082006. Belgium/UK/Germany/Netherlands. 145 min. Colour.Director: Paul VerhoevenCarice VanHouten, Sebastian Koch, Thom HoffmanPaul Verhoeven returned to Holland after over twenty years inHollywood to co-write and direct this epic WWII drama basedon a true story. Rachel Steinn is a beautiful, Dutch Jewesswhose family is killed by a bomb while most of Amsterdam’sJews are being rounded up and sent to the concentrationcamps. But Rachel avoids capture and joins the resistance.With her hair dyed blonde, she can easily pass for a gentile andwhen the leader of the resistance’s son is captured, she is askedto use her feminine charms to persuade a German commanderto release him Fanny & Alexander Sunday Matinée - 3:00pm 9/3/081982.Sweden. 188 min. Colour.Director: Ingmar BergmanPernilla Allwin, Bertil Guve, Gunn WållgrenTo mark Bergman’s death in 2007, we’ve chosen his firstovertly autobiographical film and his last work for the cinema.Bergman recreates several episodes from his youth and we firstsee Alexander, his alter ego, aged 10 at a joyous and informalChristmas gathering of relatives and servants. But then theirrecently-widowed mother marries a cold and distant ministerand suddenly he and his sister are stripped of their creaturecomforts and relaxed family atmosphere Probably his mostpopular and accessible film, it examines his familiar issues ofpsychological torment and spiritual confusion with less typicallife-affirming warmth.Silent Night VII14/3/08We once again welcome Stephen Horne as our accompanist.Suspense1913. USA. 10 min. B&W.Director: Lois Weber, A Phillips SmalleyLois Weber, Val Paul, Douglas GerrardOne of the first films with a female director - a woman and herinfant are stranded in an isolated house when a tramp breaksin The plot may be contrived but the direction (featuringexcellent split screen work) remains fresh and modern.The Finishing Touch1928. USA. 23 min. B&W.Director: Clyde Bruckman, Leo McCareyStan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Edgar KennedyAn especially funny laurel and Hardy two-reeler. Promised

Quartet19/10/071948. UK/USA. 120 min. B&W.Director: Ken Annakin, Harold French, Ralph Smart,Arthur CrabtreeBasil Radford, Naunton Wayne, Dirk Bogarde,Ian Fleming, George Cole, Jack Raine, Angela Baddeley,Cecil ParkerQuartet features four of Somerset Maugham's most celebratedstories, each possessing its own mood, pace and rhythm, andeach a little gem in its own right. As ever with Maugham, TheFacts of Life, The Alien Corn, The Kite and The Colonel's Ladyare all based on a distinctive central off-kilter relationship. Itdeservedly remains the most popular portmanteau film yetmade.Xiao cai feng2/11/07(Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress)2002. Chine/France. 111 min. Colour.Director: Dai SijieZhou Xun, Chen Kun-chang, Liu Ye, Wang Shuangbao,Chung ZhijunThe film is an adaptation of the Director’s own best-sellingautobiographical novel. Set in China during the CulturalRevolution, the story follows two young men, luo and Ma,sent from the city to a mountain village for re-education inMaoist principles. They work with the peasants under thesupervision of the village head and both fall in love with thelittle Chinese seamstress to whom they read forbidden worksof Western literature including Balzac and Dumas Wistful,bitter-sweet and gentle, this beautifully shot love story is aheart-warming treat.Du Rififi Chez les Hommes (Rififi)16/11/071955. France. 115 min. B&W.Director: Jules DassinJean Servais, Carl Möhner, Robert Manuel, Magali Noël,Perlo VitaNot only one of the best French noirs, but the daddy of all heistmovies. Crafting an archetypal story about how humanweakness can sabotage the best-laid plans, Dassin masterfullyemphasizes the skill and nerve-shredding delicacy that it takesfor the thieves to noiselessly execute their intricate plans in theclassic half-hour heist sequence. The air of seediness andinevitable doom that lingers over the proceedings adds anexistential weight to the suspense, turning Rififi into more thanjust a caper. It’s a cracker.

El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan’s Labyrinth) 4/1/08 2006. Spain. 120 min. Colour. Director: Guillermo del Toro Ariadna Gil, Ivana Baquero, Sergi López, Maribel Verdú, Doug Jones Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro returns to the phantasmagorical with this haunting fantasy-drama set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and detailing the .
