Alain Tanner Among the last lions of the heroic age of the European art film, the Geneva-born Tanner burst onto the international cinema scene at age 40 with his debut feature, 1969’s Charles, Dead or Alive, completed after stints with the merchant navy and the British Film Institute, where he became charged with the unquiet spirit of the Free Cinema movement. Back home, the fired-up Tanner would forge a radical body of work that bristles at the numbing neutrality La Salamandre screens Sunday, March 25, at 2 p.m. and status-quo monotony of his native country, a cinema full of rebels, outcasts, and dropouts, where the presiding mood is one of driftlessness and anxious ambivalence, and a filmography ripe for the rediscovery. This touring series has been organized by UW Cinematheque and New York City’s Metrograph. Special thanks to Jake Perlin and Marcel Müller. L on rip y’s Reinventing Hollywood This lineup of great entertainments draws its inspiration from David Bordwell’s new book, Reinventing Hollywood: How 1940s Filmmakers Changed Movie Storytelling. The book and this series focus on just some of the storytelling methods that made the ’40s period exciting, in particular the outrageous and outlandish use of flashbacks and subjective viewpoints, as well as an exploration of character psychologies and neuroses. 35 ep ly. p.
