The Crazies

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: The Crazies (1973)

After reinventing the zombie film with NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, George Romero made his first color horror film THE CRAZIES, another social commentary cloaked in exploitation trappings about a small Pennsylvania town decimated by the accidental release of a dangerous biochemical weapon in the water supply (thanks to a crashed truck.)

Though not an official part of Romero's ongoing DEAD series, THE CRAZIES still fits in just fine thanks to its depictions of normalcy shedding apart from the inside and a ruthless but incompetent military ultimately driven by self-interest -- themes which would reach their most crystallized version in DAY OF THE DEAD

Genre: Action, Horror

Director: George A. Romero
Stars: Lane Carroll, Will MacMillan, Harold Wayne Jones            
Running time: 1 hr 43 min

The Triplets of Belleville

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: The Triplets of Belleville (2003)

Madame Souza, an elderly woman, instills in her grandson Champion (for who she acts as his guardian) a love of cycling. As a young man, he does become a dedicated road racer with his grandmother as his trainer. During a mountainous leg of the Tour de France in which Champion is racing, he goes missing. Evidence points to him being kidnapped. 

Indeed, he and two of his competitors were kidnapped, the kidnappers who want to use the threesome's unique skills for nefarious purposes. With Champion's overweight and faithful pet dog Bruno at her side, Madame Souza goes looking for Champion. 

Their trek takes them overseas to the town of Belleville. Without any money, Madame Souza and Bruno are befriended and taken in by three eccentric elderly women, who were once the renowned jazz singing group The Triplets of Belleville.

Devi - Poster

Devi

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Devi (1960)


One of the great masterworks of director Satyajit Ray, Devi uses the powerful and expressionist techniques of a master filmmaker to question the orthodoxy of an entire society. A wealthy devotee of Kali (the goddess of change and death) becomes consumed by the idea that his daughter in law (an incandescent Sharmila Tagore) is the incarnation of the Mother Goddess. Convinced she has healing powers, he encourages the local population to worship the young girl, leading to dramatic and profound consequences for both her family and the wider community. 

A deeply political film, the deceptively simple Devi explores the most sacrosanct ideas of patriarchy, faith and objectification with radiant emotional resonance. With lustrous cinematography by Subrata Mitra that seems to be lit by burning phosphorus, Devi explores the impact and intoxication of one person being heralded as a goddess.

Genre: Drama

Director: Satyajit Ray
Stars: Sharmila Tagore, Soumitra Chatterjee, Chhabi Biswas            
Running time: 1 hr 33 min

Kit is her younger sister, and pitcher on the same team, who feels that she can't measure up to Dottie in her own eyes, or in the eyes of others.

her.
