Film Fridays: Grab Bag
- Bergman is the boss over at the Cinematheque, as the theatre reveals a handful of new 35mm Bergman prints. Through a Glass Darkly and Winter Light are tonight’s offerings. Through a Glass Darkly tells the story of a dysfunctional family who have secluded themselves to a remote Baltic island. According to the New Yorker, it was “possibly the most beautiful (of Bergman’s films) in its setting and the most heartbreaking in its theme.”
- The Festival of Italian Cinema is on. Roundtrip, the story of “a love-sick Turin man who decides to leave his humdrum life and his city” only to return a few days later looks good to us. It screens Saturday at the Carlton.
-Weekend shorts from the NFB at Camera Bar, under the cute banner of ‘seven to see from the NFB.’
- And if you can’t get enough of that shlubby Giametti (‘He was robbed!’ you cry to your friends on a regular basis), you could always see that small indie flick Cinderella Man. Playing everywhere.
