The Final Six Films of Cinema, Inc.?s 2011-12 Season
March 11, 2012 ?
Henri-Georges Clouzot?s Inferno (L?enfer d?Henri-Georges Clouzot)
France, 2009. Genre: Documentary, Color, Not Rated, Subtitled, 94 Minutes. Directed by Serge Bromberg and Ruxandra Medrea.
In 1964 French director Henri-Georges Clouzot (The Wages of Fear, Diabolique) embarked on his most ambitious film to date: L?Enfer (Inferno). After a frenetic 18 days of shooting, he suffered a heart attack, and the production was shut down. More than 40 years later, film archivist Serge Bromberg discovered 185 cans of footage and pre-production tests from L?Enfer and set out to tell the story of Clouzot?s unfinished masterwork. Combining interviews with surviving members of the cast and crew with clips of the actual film, Bromberg offers a glimpse into one of cinema?s legendary ill-fated productions.

Am?lie (Le fabuleux destin d?Am?lie Poulain)

sexual content), Subtitled, 121 Minutes. Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Starring Audrey Tautou, Maurice Benichou, Lorella Cravotta, Mathieu Kassovitz, Serge Merlin, Isabelle Nanty, Dominique Pinon, and Rufus.
An irresistible toast to life, Jean-Pierre Jeunet?s Am?lie follows the title character (Audrey Tautou) as she literally changes the lives of those around her. When Am?lie meets and falls in love with a shy adult-store worker, she realizes that, in helping to change other peoples? lives, she is disregarding her own. Propelled by Yann Tiersen?s exhilarating musical score, Bruno Delbonnel?s vivid cinematography, and Tautou?s irresistible charm, Am?lie ranks as one of the cinema?s finest odes to life and love, and a refreshing homage to the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Italy, 1948. Genre: Crime/Drama, B&W, Not Rated, Subtitled, 90 Minutes. Directed by Vittorio De Sica. Starring Lamberto Maggiorani, Enzo Staiola, and Lianella Carell.
A definitive work of Italian Neo-Realism, The Bicycle Thief tells the story of Antonio (Lamberto Maggiorana), an unemployed man in post-War Rome who finds a job pasting up posters ? work requiring a bicycle. When the bicycle is stolen, Antonio and his young son, Bruno (Enzo Staiola), embark on a desperate search across the city. An indelible portrait of the bond between Antonio and Bruno, The Bicycle Thief won a special Academy Award as ?most outstanding foreign film,? seven years before that category existed. In the words of Arthur Miller, ?It is as though the soul of man had been filmed.? Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3jnzXX9mXs.

July 8, 2012 ? The Fallen Idol
U.K., 1948. Genre: Drama/Mystery/Thriller, B&W, Not Rated, 92 Minutes. Directed by Carol Reed. Starring Ralph Richardson, , Bobby Henrey, Mich?le Morgan, and Sonia Dresdel.
Eight-year-old Phil (Bobby Henrey) idolizes Baines (Ralph Richardson), the butler to his ambassador father. As the unwitting witness to Baines? tea-room tryst with an embassy staffer, Phil becomes the solemn bearer of a secret. But when an idyllic afternoon at the zoo is followed by a nighttime tragedy, and those soft-spoken police arrive to ask all those polite questions, Phil enters a world of lies that unintentionally implicate his idol in murder. Author/screenwriter Graham Greene?s personal favorite of his film adaptations (from his story, ?The Basement Room?), The Fallen Idol was Greene?s first collaboration with Carol Reed (followed by The Third Man), and ranks with the director?s best work.

As the draughtsman becomes entangled in the devious scheming in the idyllic estate, details emerge in his drawings that may reveal a murder. A feast of intricate wordplay, extravagant
costumes and opulent photography, The Draughtman?s Contract weaves a mystery around the maxim ?draw what you see, not what you know.? Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92-LPtzRfTQ. TCM Web Page: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/73608/Draughtsman-s-Contract-The/. Internet Movie Database:
