Carrie

Synopsis:



Globe Cinema Presents: Carrie (1976)

It's nearing the end of the school year. High school senior Carrie White is a social outcast, largely due to being unwise to the ways of the world based on her upbringing. Her mother, Margaret White, is a religious fanatic, her extreme views primarily targeted against sex, which she believes is a sin. She even believes natural associated processes such as menstruation are a sin, about which she has refused to mention to Carrie. Mrs. White's beliefs were taken to that extreme largely because of her own failed marriage and her husband Ralph long ago having run off with another woman. 

The only adult authority figure who tries to help Carrie with her life is her phys ed teacher, Miss Collins, who is nonetheless warned not to get too close to go against how Mrs. White chooses to raise Carrie, Mrs. White whose beliefs are well known in the community. An impromptu event that happens among Carrie's phys ed classmates against her leads to her classmates being punished. One of those students, self absorbed Chris Hargensen, vows revenge against Carrie for that punishment, the method of the revenge associated to the phys ed class incident. Another student however, the popular Sue Snell, begins to feel sorry for Carrie. In wanting to help her get out of her shell, Sue asks her boyfriend, the equally popular Tommy Ross, to take Carrie to the senior prom instead of her. 

This move does not sit well with Mrs. White, who in her extreme view believes Carrie will fall prey to sin. All these competing issues lead to Carrie deciding on an impulse to use a newfound skill to free herself from the figurative chains that have long been placed around her, with tragic consequences.

Drop the Needle

Synopsis:

CJSW 90.9  Presents: Drop the Needle (2023)


Join us on Wednesday, May 31st for a screening of Drop The Needle (2023), a documentary covering Play Da Record, co-presented by the NCRA/ANREC. This was a prominent record store in Toronto that helped in popularizing hip-hop & electronic on Campus and Community radio stations in the greater Toronto area.

Following the screening will be a Q&A with filmmaker Rob Freeman!

In August 1990, a record store opened on Yonge St. that quickly began serving the needs of college radio and DJs who spun new sounds far from the mainstream. Through the contagious work ethic and guidance of founder Eugene Tam, organically it became the hub for "Dance" music and the genres which emerged from under that umbrella, fueling and fostering Hip-Hop and Electronic culture. Today its impact today on Toronto and by extension Canada is without question. This is the story of Play De Record.

Genre: Documentary, Music

Maelstrom

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Maelstrom (2000)


Part of our Canadian Cinema in the New Millennium series, presented in collaboration with the University of Calgary's Department of Communication, Media and Film. 

An unconventional early work in the filmography of the increasingly mainstream filmmaker, Denis Villeneuve.

Maelström explores a fascination with car crashes, the search for connection, and confounding imagery through the lens of black comedy.  Narrated by a talking fish in the process of being butchered, a woman looks to discover more about the life of a man whose death she feels responsible for after a car crash. Unlikely romances, emotional crescendos, and surreal moments flavour a film as rewarding as it is bizarre.

Genre: Drama

Director: Denis Villeneuve
Stars: Marie-Josée Croze, Jean-Nicolas Verreault, Stephanie Morgenstern        
Running time: 1 hr 27 min 
Rating: 18A

The Eight Mountains

Synopsis:



Globe Cinema Presents: The Eight Mountains (2022)

An epic journey of friendship and self-discovery set in the breathtaking Italian Alps, The Eight Mountains is a landmark cinematic experience as intimate as it is monumental, as deep as it is expansive. 


Adapting the award-winning novel by Paolo Cognetti, directors Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch (The Broken Circle Breakdown) portray through observant detail and stunning landscape photography the profound, complex relationship between Pietro (Luca Marinelli) and Bruno (Alessandro Borghi), who first meet as children when Pietro's Turin family vacations in an isolated village at the base of the Alpine slopes. 

As they mature, Pietro becomes estranged from his business-minded father (Filippo Timi) even as Bruno-emotionally abandoned by his own father-takes up the role of surrogate son. Pietro's father's death reunites the two in realizing his dream of constructing a cabin on the Alps, and the project and subsequent explorations of the awe-inspiring mountain range bond Pietro and Bruno in a shared purpose. 

Yet despite their connection, the purity of nature and the demands of society both threaten to drive the men to pursue different, possibly irrevocably divergent paths on the vertiginous terrain of life. 


Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.
