Wed, Oct 7
Throne of Blood / Ugetsu
Film students talk about fog the way sommeliers talk about soil, and this is the double bill that explains why. Two Japanese masterpieces run back to back, and both use weather as a moral condition. Kurosawa moved Macbeth into feudal Japan and shot the forest until it stopped being scenery and started being fate, and the ending remains the most alarming thing anybody has ever accomplished with archery. Mizoguchi's Ugetsu follows two peasants who leave their wives to chase money and glory during a civil war and find something considerably worse, filmed in long unbroken takes that drift like somebody remembering rather than somebody watching. Seeing them in one sitting, on 35mm, in a room where several hundred people gasp at the same frame, is a completely different event from queueing them at home and pausing for snacks. Wednesday, October 7, first film 7:30pm and the second 9:50pm, on Beverly Boulevard. Go alone if you have to.
