09/17/2020: 400 Blows, The Good Kind
- Details
- Category: The Good Kind at Ivy Hall
Beautiful, heartbreaking, despairing, hopeful and liberating all at once, The 400 Blows is the film that changed the landscape of French cinema and its popularity ushered in the New Wave. In the end, François Truffaut’s story about a rebellious boy at odds with a changing society is as relevant today as it was in 1959. The 400 Blows is not only the best film of the French New Wave but quite possibly the greatest French language film ever made. Review.
(1h 39m, 1959)
09/18/2020: Band of Outsiders, The Good Kind
- Details
- Category: The Good Kind at Ivy Hall
Four years after Breathless, Jean-Luc Godard reimagined the gangster film even more radically with Band of Outsiders (Bande à part). In it, two restless young men (Sami Frey and Claude Brasseur) enlist the object of both of their fancies (Anna Karina) to help them commit a robbery—in her own home. This audacious and wildly entertaining French New Wave gem is at once sentimental and insouciant, effervescently romantic and melancholy, and it features some of Godard’s most memorable set pieces, including the headlong race through the Louvre and the unshakably cool Madison dance sequence. Review.
(1h 37m, 1964)
09/24/2020: Jules and Jim, The Good Kind
- Details
- Category: The Good Kind at Ivy Hall
Hailed by critics as one of the greatest films of all time, Truffaut's internationally award-winning film 'Jules and Jim' is set pre- and post- The First World War, and tells the tale of two young students, Jules (Oskar Werner), an Austrian, and Jim (Henri Serre), a Frenchman, in love with the beautiful, capricious, Catherine (outstandingly played by Jeanne Moreau). Captivating both of them for twenty years, the enigmatic Catherine switches her allegiance quixotically from one to the other - and occasionally to other men too. Yet neither Jules nor Jim can free himself from her powerful spell... until Catherine performs the definitive action that changes everything forever. An atmospheric and energetic meditation on the nature of human love and monogamous morality, this is a breathtaking film with exemplary performances from the three central performers, told in classic New Wave documentary-style cinema language. Review.
(1h 47m, 1961)
09/25/2020: Alphaville, The Good Kind
- Details
- Category: The Good Kind at Ivy Hall
A cockeyed fusion of science fiction, pulp characters, and surrealist poetry, Godard’s irreverent journey to the mysterious Alphaville remains one of the least conventional films of all time. Eddie Constantine stars as intergalactic hero Lemmy Caution, on a mission to kill the inventor of fascist computer Alpha 60. Review.

Nerdy Walter Paisley (Dick Miller), a maladroit busboy at a beatnik café who doesn't fit in with the cool scene around him, attempts to woo his beautiful co-worker, Carla (Barboura Morris), by making a bust of her. When his klutziness results in the death of his landlady's cat, he panics and hides its body under a layer of plaster. But when Carla and her friends enthuse over the resulting artwork, Walter decides to create some bigger and more elaborate pieces using the same artistic process. (Roger Corman, 1959)
10/01/2020: Cléo de 5 à 7 and La Jetée, The Good Kind
- Details
- Category: The Good Kind at Ivy Hall
Agnes Varda is one of the most important figures in French cinema and Cleo from 5 to 7 is her most iconic work. The film follows two hours in the life of a beautiful and successful singer named Cleo. But despite having the world at her fingertips, Cleo is more miserable than ever and fears that she’ll receive bad news from a cancer test. Cleo from 5 to 7 utilizes a lot of the defining techniques from the French New Wave, such as jump cuts, a montage format and long takes. Review.
(1h 30m, 1962)
La Jetée
Chris Marker, filmmaker, poet, novelist, photographer, editor, and now videographer and digital multimedia artist, has been challenging moviegoers, philosophers, and himself for years with his complex queries about time, memory, and the rapid advancement of life on this planet. Marker's La Jetée is one of the most influential, radical science-fiction films ever made, a tale of time travel told in still images. Shortly before artist Katie Pell died, she told us this was one of her favorite movies. This screening is dedicated to her. Review.
