MAN lb.NV T A BIRD
AUD. A, 7 ONLY 7 ONLY
This first film by Eastern Europe's most important director follows
a love affair between a middle-aged factory engineer and a beau-
tiful woman who seduces him. A hilarious satire on Tito's Yugo-
slavia. "The setting is a bleak Yugoslav industrial town that,
though beautifully and realistically photographed, seems as mad
and fantastical as something in a dream. MAN IS NOT A BIRD is
the most sophisticated and complex film from a Communist Coun-
try that I've ever seen. It is so poetic and true and multi-leveled
that it reminds me of the best prose."-Vincent Canby, New York
Times. Makavejev was later arrested and exiled for his political
satire. Serbo-Croatian with subtitles. ANN ARBOR PREMIERE.
KUROSAWA'S 1954
THE SEVEN SAMURAI
AUD.A -8:15 ONLY
The biggest, and some think, the best film Kurosawa ever made
A leaderless samurai band protects a village from marauding
robbers. Kurosawa used super-powered telephoto lenses, causing
images to "pile up" on the screen, and editing is used with a
vigor comparable to that of the Soviet silent films. Uncut, three-
and-a-half hour version. "Rurosawa achieves what modern Ameri-
can and European epic makers vainly attempt: the excitement of
the senses "--Pauline Kael,
