Jean de Florette / Manon of the Spring: Two Films by Claude Berri (#1257)

Criterion | 1986 | 2 Movies | 234 min | Not Rated
Directed by Claude Berri

A sprawling tale of greed, betrayal, and revenge plays out amid the bucolic splendor of the French countryside in Claude Berri’s masterly two-film adaptation of a literary work by the legendary Marcel Pagnol. Spanning three generations in the lives of two families, Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring vividly recreate the provincial world of an early-twentieth-century village, where an outsider’s arrival sets in motion a devastating chain of events. With gorgeous cinematography, keen insights into human nature, and superb performances from icons of French cinema (Gérard Depardieu, Yves Montand, Daniel Auteuil, and Emmanuelle Béart), these richly absorbing moral tales—at the time of their production, the most expensive French films ever made—are triumphs of epic storytelling in the classical tradition.

Directed by Bryan Gordon

Written by John Hughes, the legendary screenwriter of National Lampoon’s Vacation, Mr. Mom, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Home Alone, comes this hilarious film with maximum comedy at minimum wage! The town con (Frank Whaley, The Doors) and the town beauty (Jennifer Connelly, The Hot Spot) team up to outwit a half-wit pair of would-be burglars, real-life brothers Dermot Mulroney (Young Guns) and Kieran Mulroney (Nowhere to Run). Whaley stars as Jim Dodge, a smooth-talking small-town guy with a knack for putting up a front—but no talent for holding down a job. But Jim’s life suddenly takes a turn for the fantastic when he finds himself locked inside the local department store one night with Josie McClellan (Connelly), the daughter of the town’s wealthiest citizen, and two bumbling criminals. Directed by television veteran Bryan Gordon (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and co-starring Barry Corbin (My Science Project), William Forsythe (Raising Arizona) and comedy legend John Candy (Spaceballs) in an unbilled cameo.

BEWARE OF THE DWARF, whispers the hitchhiker to the beautiful librarian as he dies midway through a screening of Appointment with Danger. Suddenly she is propelled into a world of wild chases, bizarre attempts on her life, and deadly encounters with an assortment of weird underworld characters.

Chase plays the handsome San Francisco detective who becomes personally and professionally involved with all the odd things happening to Hawn. Colin Higgins (Silver Streak, 9 to 5, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas) wrote and directed this rollicking comedy-thriller featuring Burgess Meredith, Brian Dennehy, Rachel Roberts, Marc Lawrence, Billy Barty and the great Dudley Moore (Arthur) in one of his most delightful comic turns ever.

Screen legend Robert Redford (3 Days of the Condor) leads an all-star cast, including the great Sidney Poitier (In the Heat of the Night) and Dan Ackroyd (Ghostbusters), in an exciting, suspense-filled caper! Computer expert Martin Bishop (Redford) heads a team of renegade hackers—including a former CIA employee (Poitier), a gadgets wizard (Ackroyd), a young genius (River Phoenix) and a blind soundman (David Strathairn)—who are routinely hired to test security systems. But Bishop’s past comes back to haunt him when government agents blackmail the “sneakers” into carrying out a covert operation: tracking down an elusive black box. Along with his former flame (Mary McDonnell), Bishop’s team retrieves the box and makes a stunning discovery—the device can break into any computer system in the world. With factions from all sides willing to kill for the powerful box, Bishop and his team embark on their most dangerous assignment ever in this high-tech heist film from director Phil Alden Robinson (Field of Dreams).

Borderline

Kino Lorber | 1930 | 63 min | Not Rated
Directed by Kenneth MacPherson

A European art film that could not possibly have been made within the Hollywood studio system, Borderline explores racial and gender politics while employing the radical editing techniques innovated by the Soviet avant-garde. When a Black couple, Pete and Adah (legendary actor Paul Robeson and wife Eslanda Robeson), rent a room above a tavern, it ignites the fears and jealousies simmering in a rural Swiss village. Having had an affair with Adah, Thorne (Gavin Arthur) braces for an inevitable confrontation with her husband. For this release, world renowned musician and producer Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky, created an ambitious jazz score that honors the spirit of the groundbreaking film, while injecting it with a 21st Century sensibility. Featuring performances by Premik Russell Tubbs (flute, alto saxophone), Neil ‘Nail’ Alexander (keyboards), Todd Isler (drums) and Michael O’Brien (upright bass), Miller’s score investigates the dynamic tension between sampling, collage, and minimalist jazz. Mastered from a 2K scan of 35mm materials preserved by the George Eastman Museum.

The Cruel Sea

Kino Lorber | 1953 | 126 min | Not Rated
Directed by Charles Frend

One of the greatest British war films ever made, The Cruel Sea is an unflinching portrayal of life at sea during WWII, on a boat tasked with protecting convoys and seeking and destroying German U-boats. Filmed aboard an actual Royal Navy corvette, it tells the story of the sailors aboard the HMS Compass Rose: the bonds that form between them, the daily pressures they face, and their epic struggle to overcome the enemy. Based on the best-selling novel by Nicholas Monsarrat, and featuring heroic performances from Jack Hawkins, Sir Donald Sinden, and Stanley Baker, The Cruel Sea is an enduring war movie classic.
