Weekend (Godard, 1969): Cine Lumiere, 3pm
This 35mm presentation is part of the Jean-Luc Godard season (details here) at Cine Lumiere and is also being screened on January 26th.
Chicago Reader review:
Jean-Luc Godard's 1967 imagining of the twilight of the Western world,
in which bourgeois society is stalled in an endless traffic jam,
revolutionaries pass their time slaughtering pigs, and Mozart is played
in open fields while the camera tracks in elegant circles. It's funny
and grating, seductive and repulsive, by the usual Godardian turns: the
paradoxes he loves to spin are emotional as well as intellectual. Though
the film teeters on the brink of an icy Maoism, it never takes the
plunge.
