Closely Watched Trains (“Ostre sledované vlaky”)
Jirí Menzel, Czechoslovakia, 1966, 93 min.
in Czech with English subtitles
Door open at 20pm, film begins at 21:00.
An apprentice train dispatcher at a village station seeks his first sexual encounter and becomes despondent when he is unable to perform. In the same time he success in antifascist resistance.
Bosley Crowther of The New York Times called Closely Watched Trains “as expert and moving in its way as was Jan Kadar’s and Elmar Klos’s The Shop on Main Street or Milos Forman’s Loves of a Blonde”, two other recent films from Czechoslovakia. Crowther wrote: “What it appears Mr. Menzel is aiming at all through his film is just a wonderfully sly, sardonic picture of the embarrassments of a youth coming of age in a peculiarly innocent yet worldly provincial environment. … The charm of his film is in the quietness and slyness of his earthy comedy, the wonderful finesse of understatements, the wise and humorous understanding of primal sex. And it is in the brilliance with which he counterpoints the casual affairs of his country characters with the realness, the urgency and significance of those passing trains.”[6] Variety’s reviewer wrote: “The 28-year-old Jiri Menzel registers a remarkable directorial debut. His sense for witty situations is as impressive as his adroit handling of the players. A special word of praise must go to Bohumil Hrabal [sic], the creator of the literary original; the many amusing gags and imaginative situations are primarily his. The cast is composed of wonderful types down the line.”

*CAN DIALECTICS BREAK BRICKS CINEMA **@ Joe's Garage*
SUNDAY MARCH 3
*FRANCES *(1982) Directed by Graeme Clifford 140 minutes In English The 1980s bio-pic about the restless and uncompromising Hollywood actress Frances Farmer. Frances was on her way to becoming one of the world's leading actresses- but she had a wild streak that she wouldn't let go of. After being stopped one day for speeding she ended up getting into a fistfight with a policeman. One thing lead to another and from cherished movie star her life fell to the very bottom, since she was considered rebellious and subversive by the police. Frances was locked away and would end up spending much of her life in mental institutions. And, hey... it all really happened. This is a great film about what happens when you refuse to play the game and stick to what you believe in....for true individuals our society has its own special type of revenge. As a woman in the 1950s, she refused to just shut up and be a pretty puppet...so this dramatic film is more or less the true story about her life. Jessica Lange gives a performance of a life time in the lead role. Also starring Sam Shepard... and the music is by John Barry. Filmmaker Kenneth Anger in his book HOLLYWOOD BABYLON dedicated a chapter to her and christened her "ST. FRANCES". Kurt Cobain of NIRVANA obviously identified with her plight and would later record the song "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle". Pretoriusstraat 43 Film starts @ 21:00 Free admission
