The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Frederico Fellini's Intervista starting at 8 p.m. From the Eastman House calendar, "Past/present and fact/fiction collide in this delirious flight of fancy from one of cinema's best-loved auteurs. While Fellini prepares an elaborate movie adaptation of Kafka's Amerika at Cinecittà, a Japanese TV crew follows the maestro around the sets and soundstages of the sprawling Roman film studio. This absurd and often hilarious tour, however, is just a pretext for a much deeper exploration of the life and psyche of a major artist as he nears the end of his life and career."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Kill List starting at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday at 5 p.m. They have been screening the trailer and the film looks excellent; plus the Eastman House calendar adds, "a cunning mixture of three very British genres — kitchen sink melodrama, gangster flick, and occult horror — Kill List is a smart, critically acclaimed thriller that also functions as an unsettling allegory for the state of contemporary England."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Pickpocket starting at 8 p.m. Another in the series of Robert Bresson films (which I have thus far enjoyed), this one "follows the young Michel as he's initiated into the Parisian underworld of petty theft. As Michel's acts grow more brazen, Jeanne, the neighbor of his mother, looms in the background as an angel in the flesh. There's no crime movie more fascinated by the immediate and technical details of stealing and less concerned with its rewards."
