For this special Thursday edition of Kino Night, we’re doing two old movies, because old movies are cool. First up is Alphaville (1965), one of the most famous films of one of the most renowned directors of all time, Jean-Luc Godard. It is a French sci-fi dystopian satire about a future police state on another planet ruled by an evil scientist who has banned all expressions of love and displays of emotion. An American private-eye arrives there, and a film-noir mystery ensues. This film was a major influence on Blade Runner (1982), Gattaca (1997), Dark City (1998), and The Matrix (1999), among others. Somehow, we haven’t watched Godard yet; this seems like a good place to start.
After that is The Lady Eve (1941), a screwball comedy about crafty con-woman (Barbara Stanwyck) who woos her way into the heart of a socially-awkward rich guy (Henry Fonda), seeking to get her hands on his money. After he figures out her intentions, he dumps her, only for her to come back under a new, assumed identity, and repeat the process all over again, with him none the wiser. Hilarity ensues. Director is Preston Sturges, who is otherwise best-known for Sullivan’s Travels (1941); he specialized in screwball stuff. This is considered one of the best films in its genre, so lett’s check it out.
Last is Pokémon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages (2015), for those who are still awake by then. Yep, we’re continuing the saga. We’re into the Kalos (X/Y, aka Gen 6) arc now.
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
