The Grapes of Wrath Harvard Film Archive sunday, march 14 7:00 the grapes of wrh
Directed by John Ford. With Henry Fonda, Jane Darwell, John Carradine US 1940, 35mm, b/w, 129 min. Print courtesy of the ConstellationCenter and the Academy Film Archive Ford’s riveting adaptation of Steinbeck’s classic novel of “Okie” farmers made destitute by the Depression and the Dust Bowl is considered one of the very few politically radical works of studio-era Hollywood. Although Ford envisioned the film as a character study - a portrait of a struggling family - rather than an open attack on capitalism, his adaptation faithfully retains the book’s hard-eyed look at the exploitation of the rural poor. Like so much of his thirties work, The Grapes of Wrath reveals Ford’s then-ardent Leftist populism. The suffering of the Joad family as it marches slowly toward California is given iconic status by Ford’s monumental compositions, by the remarkable performances from a talented cast and by pioneering cinematographer Gregg Toland’s successful fusion of Ford’s expressionist aesthetic and photojournalist realism. one day only find a trailer find/upload a trailer
Special Engagement! Restored New 35mm Print! The Red Shoes 4:15, 7:00 PM (1948) dir Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger, w/Moira Shearer, Marius Goring, Anton Walbrook [133 min] Beautiful, young ballerina Victoria (Shearer) is poised to become a superstar thanks to the repressive tutelage of her teacher Lermontov (Wallbrook). However, she falls in love with the charming composer of The Red Shoes ballet, based on Hans Christian Andersen’s tale of shoes that dance the wearer to death, and must choose between her love for him and her devotion to her teacher and her art. This indelible classic has been painstakingly restored to the original brilliance of Jack Cardiff’s legendary original Technicolor photography by UCLA’s Robert Gitt and his team. It can honestly be said that the beauty of THE RED SHOES can now be seen as never before. showing through friday view trailer
