Weekly Rochester Events #607 Starting Thursday, August 26, 2010
The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Madadayo starting at 8 p.m. The Eastman House calendar has this to say, "Kurosawa's final film, a celebration of life, is the poetic tale of a playful professor who leaves the security of his tenure and his established career to explore his true passion as a writer. His search for solitude is made difficult by Allied bombings, but his strong spirit drives his perseverance and inspires visitations from former students who hold him in great reverence."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Ran starting at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday at 4 p.m. Akira Kurosawa's "spellbinding epic of feudal disorder focuses on the alienation brought on by man's lust for power and depicts it with violence set to classical cadences. Shakespeare's King Lear refashioned through samurai stylings, Ran centers on warlord Hidetora's abdication and decision to divide his holdings between his three sons. Seen on the big screen, Kurosawa's mass orchestration of movement, color, landscape, and spectacle achieve a jaw-dropping beauty. This screening represents a rare opportunity to view a 35mm print of Ran made directly off of the camera negative." Wow.
