arts-master film of the week. At

AU REVOIR LES EN-
FAN TS
Nominated for best screenplay and
best froeign film (France) this new
film by Louis Malle concerns the
story of a boy growing up. Not a
new idea, but the way it is handled

5:30, 7:30, 9:30; M, W, Th, F --
7:30, 9:30; T -- 5:30, 7:30, 9:30)
BAD DREAMS
After awakening after a ten year
coma, the sole survivor of a mass-
suicide at a spiritual community
must deal with the former members
in her dreams. Sounds like Dream
Warriors meets Jim Jones, but a
nightmare in any case. At Fox. (all
week -- 12, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10; F&S 12
a.m.)

2:30, 4:45, 7:15, 9:45; F&S 12
a.m.)
THE DEAD
John Huston's adaptation of
James Joyce's-story. See it out of
respect for either of these two great
men. If not, see it just because it's a
great film. At Ann Arbor 1&2. (Sa,
Su -- 1:20, 3:20, 5:20, 7:20, 9:20;

5:20, 7:20, 9:20)
D.O.A.
In this remake of the film noir

81 year old who gets to spend two

9:30; F&S 12 a.m.)
THE LAST EMPEROR

(all week -- 10, 12:10, 2:15, 4:20, 7,

PICTURE SHOW
See it. And see it again. And
Again... Why not? That's why it's
here! At Briarwood. (F&S 12 a.m.)

a.m.)

FRIDAY
GREAT EXPECTATIONSj
(David Lean, 1946) MLB 3 7:00
First of the classic-books-to-film
double feature. We get to follow Pip
and Magwitch (and other characters;
with great names) in a world only
Dickens could create. With a great
English cast including Alec Guiness
and John Mills.
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.
(R. Leonard, 1940) MLB 3 9:05
The social world of provincial
England is the setting for the:Jane
Austen novel and this film. Watch
the Bennett sisters fall in and out of'
love. Laurence Olivier and Greer
Garson star.
PICNIC AT HANGING-
ROCK (Peter Weir, 1975) MLB 4
7 & 9:10
Capturing the beauty of their
homeland has always been the
strength of Australian films and this
is a prime example. In the Victorian
era, three schoolgirls disappear on a
picnic and only one returns but with
no memory of what happened.
TAMPOPO (Juzo Itami, 1987)
Michigan Theater 7 p.m.
Billed as the "first n o o d l e
western" this film spoofs everything
from spaghetti westerns to karate
films to sex, and is funny every bit
of the way. Lots and lots about food
and what you could, should, and
should not do with it.
STOP MAKING SENSE
(Jonathan Demme, 1984) Michigan
Theater 9:20
This concert film of the Talking
Heads "Talking in Tongues" tour is
more than just a movie, it's a
recreation because there is always
dancing in the aisles.
while. Filmed secretly at the end of
WWII this is the story of one woman
and the men who love her in a time
one hundred years earlier, Paris of the
1840's.
THE REVOLT OF JOB
(Imre Gyongossy, 1983) MLB 4
9:30
Nominated for best foreign film
in 1983, this is the tale of a Jewish
farmer in Hungary who adopts a
Christian orphan in hopes that the
boy will continue his own tradition.
ALTERED STATES (Ken
Russell, 1980) Nat Sci 7:00 & 9:00
Combine actor William Hurt,
director Ken Russell, and author
Paddy Chayefsky, and you get a film
filled with isolation tanks, the
missing link, and great special
effects.
yet he is able to beautifully capture
the Indian landscape while telling the
story of three young teenage girls
growing up along the Ganges river.
THE SOUTHERNER (Jean
Renoir, 1945) MLB 4 8:45
Even though Renoir is a
Frenchman, he has been able to
create a fine piece of americana with
an appropriately perfect ending.
REPENTANCE (Tengiz
Abuladze, 1984) Michigan Theater
5:00
From the Soviet Union comes
this allegory about Stalin's dictator-
ship that also comments upon
contemporary Russian society. The
plot is reminiscent of Hitchcock's
The Trouble With 1/arry in which a
dead body keeps disappearing.
BARRY LYNDON (Stanley
Kubrick, 1976) Michigan Theater
7:45
Famous for it's lighting and for
being a "coffee-table book" film, this
adaptation of the Thackeray novel is
a sight to see. Ryan O'Neal is an
upwardly mobile 18th century young
man who rises through marriage.
