we will be showing Akira Kurosawa’s “Seven Samurai” which we were supposed to share with all of you last week (12/23/13) and we actually had to replaced it at the last moment with “Throne of blood”…
the reason for last week switcheroo was due to not having all seven samurais at the studio because some of them got drunk and were nursing a hangover from one of the wild Maui Xmas parties they attended on their way over to the Cinematiki…
tonight, we hope to see all of you and all of them…
Cheers and lOOking forward…

Il Conformista remains one of the most beautiful films and certainly Bertolucci’s most coherent work, an accomplishment of genius. It’s never tedious, pretentious, or overly arty. It can be disturbing as hell.
