GALELLA
Minutes: 90

Rated: PG-13
Genre:
DOCUMENTARY
Years before the word "paparazzi" had any meaning for most
Americans, Ron Galella exemplified the new breed of celebrity
photographers who specialized in shots of stars with their guards
down, and he was wildly successful in the 1960s and '70s while also
making more than a few enemies among the wealthy and famous.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, one of Galella's favorite subjects, took
him to court in 1972 to prevent him from obsessively following her (Galella
was given a restraining order preventing him from coming within 150
feet of her for the rest of her life), while in 1973 Marlon Brando
took a more direct approach, punching the photographer in the face
and breaking his jaw as Galella tried to snap his picture. While
Galella seemingly has little sense of shame or propriety about his
work, he also had a gift for capturing exciting images on the run,
and unlike most of his peers his work has been shown in galleries
around the world and he's widely regarded as the most gifted artist
in his chosen field. Filmmaker Leon Gast offers a look at the public
and private sides of Ron Galella in the documentary SMASH HIS
CAMERA, in which he talks about his career, his attitude abut
celebrity culture, and his run-ins with some of his subjects. SMASH

Senior (Rubén Blades), is dying. Concerned, Cruz races back home to
the scenic mountain valley where he grew up to find that drugs and
violence have taken a terrible toll on the once-peaceful community.
In no time, Cruz is back working for local criminal kingpin Emilio
(Miguel Sandoval), the ruthless club owner who used to be Senior's
number one partner in crime. In Emilio's world, money comes easy,
and beautiful girls are always close by. Now, the longer Cruz
remains at home the more his poetry skills begin to deteriorate, and
the further he begins to drift from the values he once lived by.
Perhaps if Cruz can find a way to reclaim his identity and pull
himself back from the brink, the seeds of healing will finally be
sewn both within his family and in his troubled community as well.

Genre: FOREIGN

with ENGLISH SUBTITLES
This lavish, sprawling drama from filmmaker Luca Guadagnino has
drawn numerous comparisons to the films of Luchino Visconti for the
grace with which it plumbs the inner workings of the Italian upper
crust. Edoardo Recchi Sr. (Gabriele Ferzetti) is the aging patriarch
of a Milanese clan that has amassed a significant fortune over the
years through shrewd investments in the textile business. Edoardo
Sr. has a beautiful wife, Allegra (Marisa Berenson), and the two
have a reliable and dependable son, Tancredi (Pippo Delbono). Years
ago, Tancredi met, fell in love with, and then married a woman named
Emma (Tilda Swinton) amid a trip to Russia, and brought her back
home to Milan; their children include sons Edoardo Jr. (Flavio
Parenti) and Gianluca (Mattia Zaccaro), and artist daughter
Elisabetta (Alba Rohrwacher). The family gathers for a reunion at
Edoardo Sr. and Allegra's villa in Milan, but the happy gathering
takes a somber turn when Edoardo suddenly dies not long after having
lunch with his family. But the death is far from the only pivotal
event that occurs that day: Edoardo Jr. also introduces his mother
to a chef, Antonio (Edoardo Gabbriellini), with whom he plans to
open a restaurant, and Emma finds herself drawn to the culinary
artist. Meanwhile, Emma learns that Elisabetta is a lesbian, and
though initially startled by this news, she takes the liberation of
her daughter as inspiration for her own liberation from confining
nuptials. On impulse, Emma travels to San Remo, catches sight of
Antonio, and finds herself helplessly drawn to him. Meanwhile, as
Emma and Elisabetta undertake their life-changing journeys, all of
the men in the Recchi clan outside of Edoardo Jr. feel bound to
profit-driven motives -- the commercialism of a class that has long
ago shucked responsibility for its workers. This critically
acclaimed film constituted Swinton's second collaboration with
Guadagnino; they first worked together on the 1999 feature THE
PROTAGONISTS.
