This month Cornell Cinema presents:

The Battle of Algiers

Thursday, February 9 7:00
AND Sunday, February 12 7:00

1966 > Italy > Directed by Gillo Pontecorvo

With Jean Martin, Yacef Saadi, Brahim Haggiag

A stirring pseudo-documentary about the Algerian revolution against the imperialist French. The film treatment was written by an Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) leader while in a French prison, who upon his release produced the film. With a compelling score by Ennio Morricone and remarkable footage shot in the labyrinthine lanes of the Casbah and on the streets of Algiers, the film was nominated for numerous Academy Awards and won the Grand Prize at the Venice Film Festival. Shown in a new 50th anniversary digital restoration. Subtitled. More at rialtopictures.com

Amélie

Tuesday, February 14 7:00

2002 > France > Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet

With Audrey Tautou, Mathieu Kassovitz

Jeunet's talent for whimsy, on display in his earlier work with Marc Caro (The City of Lost Children, Delicatessen), comes into its own in this story of a fetching young lady who changes, in ways small and large, the lives of her Montmartre friends and neighbors. Subtitled.

Evolution

Thursday, February 23 10:00
AND Friday, February 24 7:00

2016 > France > Directed by Lucile Hadzihalilovic

With Max Brebant, Roxane Duran, Julie-Marie Parmentier

An eerily seductive mind-bender about a remote island community of young boys and adult women, whose putty-like skin hints at something not quite human. Awash in the haunting, otherworldly images of a nightmare, the film features "gorgeous widescreen cinematography, including stunning underwater and nighttime footage." (Variety) Subtitled.
