Wings of Desire
(Wim Wonders, 1988)
MLB3 7:00&9:30 CG
A visually poetic film where angels
wander through Berlin, commenting
on humanity yet never being able to
participate in it until... Impressed
many to call it the best film of 1988.
What's Up, Tiger Lily?
(Woody Allen, 1%6)
Lorch 7:00 Japanese studies/CGfre
A Japanese B-movie which Woody re-
dubbed into a satirical spy film. The
humor is all in Woody's dubbing,
complete with lips moving long after
the voice finishes, but it's arguable
whether this one joke can sustain
itself for 80 minutes.

Cinema Paradiso
(Giuseppi Tornatore, 1989)
Mich 7:00 MTF
Winner of last year's Best Foreign
Film Oscar, this tells the life of
people in a small Sicilian town
through its movie theater, the
Paradiso. A good movie to cuddle
with a date and hold their hand.
Blue Velvet
(David Lynch, 1986)
Mich 11:15 MTF
Who hasn't seen this film yet? A
severed ear, voyeurism, sexual
violence, "Don't you fucking look at
met", waving firemen, hidden ants,
Laura Dern's innocence, Isabella
Rossellini's experience.
*e* *e* * *
The Godfather
(Francis Ford Coppola, 1972)
MLB4 8:00 Med
Classic mobster epic with all-star cast
led by cotton-mouthed Marlon
Brando. Follow the zany antics of
America's best-loved family, the
Corleones, as they use horse heads
and barbershop techniques to become
New York's most powerful clan.
" *e*.* ".*
Marat/Sade
(Peter Brook, 1%7)
AudA 7:30/DBL AAFC
Agruesome and lurid film about
inmates at a French insane asylum
who stage a play under the direction
of the Marquis de Sade. A good
movie to cuddle with a date and hold
their hand.
Fellini Satyricon
(Frederico Fellini, 1970)
AudA 9:30/DBL AAFC
Full of violence and debauchery,
Fellini's vision of a pre-Christian
world without moral codes parallels
our post-Christian world in an
unflattering manner. A good movie to
cuddle with a date and hold their
hand.
Pathfinder
(Nils Gaup, 1990)
Mich 9:30 MTF
This Norwegian film based on a 1000
year old legend is an action-adventure
