Cinematiki Maui

Recommended by Don Burnshouse, a sweet film about a Greek poet and his reflections, joys and sorrows, at the end of his life. On his last day he is illuminated by his encounter with an Albanian refugee.

New York Times said ”Eternity and a Day” won an overdue Palme d’Or at Cannes International Film Festival for the Greek director Theo Angelopoulos, whose style of drifting metaphysical reverie is at its most accessible here.”

Stay for discussion of the film and DVD extras including an excellent interview with the director.

A very interesting and opinionated article by O.A.Scott …

Only several months after Rome’s liberation in 1945,  some of the world’s most influential Italian filmmakers came together to write a script for a docudrama that would go on to be awarded Grand Prize at the 1946 Cannes Festival.  Regarded as a critical landmark for Italian neorealism,  Rome Open City exposes and illustrates the harrowing struggle that women and children faced as they tried to protect themselves from the Nazis, while maintaining compassion and self-respect during Rome’s occupation.
