Film Events This Week:
Monday, October 26th, 6-7pm: Dartmouth Film Society Meeting (Wilson
205)
The Dartmouth Film Society is a student organization that meets once a week to discuss the films playing at the Hopkins Center, debate important
issues (like whether Ghostbusters is the best film of all time), write program notes, critique new movie trailers and vote on series proposals for future terms. You don’t have to be an expert - you just have to have an opinion!
Thursday,
October 29th, 7pm: National Theater Live in HD: “Hamlet”
(Loew
Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $10 for students – SOLD OUT)
“Though
this be madness, yet there is method in it.” In this much-awaited production, Benedict Cumberbatch (BBC’s Sherlock, The Imitation Game) takes on the title role of Shakespeare’s great tragedy. As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart.
Forced to avenge his father’s death but paralyzed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state. 180m

Friday, October 30th, 7pm: Hop Film: “The Gift”
(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)
“Just when we think we know where The Gift is going, we're surprised. And then surprised again” (Chicago Sun
Times). Simon (Jason Bateman) and Robyn (Rebecca Hall) are a young married couple whose life is going just as planned until a chance encounter with Simon’s old high school friend, Gordo (Joel Edgerton), sends their world into a tailspin. As the truth about
the end of their friendship emerges, we can’t help but wonder if past bygones could ever really be bygones? D: Joel Edgerton, US, 2015, 108m

Saturday, October 31st, 12pm: Met Opera Live in HD: “Tannhäuser”
(Loew
Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $10 for students)
James Levine conducts Wagner’s early masterpiece in its first return to the Met stage in more than a decade. Today’s leading Wagnerian tenor Johan
Botha takes on the daunting title role, opposite soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek as Elisabeth, adding another Wagner heroine to her Met repertoire after her acclaimed Sieglinde in the
Ring a few seasons ago. On the heels of his recent triumph in Parsifal, baritone Peter Mattei sings Wolfram, and mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung is the love goddess, Venus.

Saturday, October 31st, 7pm: Film Special: “Nosferatu”
(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)
This film marked the first screen appearance of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and remains the eeriest and most magical of 30+ movie adaptations that
followed. Murnau’s use of real locations instead of stylized studio sets, special effects such as negative exposure and fast-speed motion to suggest a ghostly ride, and his casting of Max Schreck as the gaunt, spectral figure of Dracula resulted in
cinema’s landmark horror film. A breathtaking digital restoration in 2013 confirms Murnau’s genius. D: F. W. Murnau, Germany, 1922, 94m

Sunday, November 1st, 7pm: DFS Film: “Amy”
(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)
A once-in-a-generation talent, six-time Grammy winner Amy Winehouse captured the world’s attention. Her combination of raw honesty and musical gifts
resulted in some of the most unique songs of the modern era, but with her huge success came a relentless media attention which saw her life tragically unraveling. “What makes Asif Kapadia's documentary a devastating don’t-miss dazzler — like the lady herself
— is the way he lays out her story without editorializing” (Rolling Stone). D: Asif Kapadia, US, 2015, 128m
