Look what’s coming to the Putnam Film Series in July:
Grease
July 3–9
1978, USA, directed by Randal Kleiser, 110 min, rated PG, 35mm print.
Grease is not just a nostalgic look at a simpler decade–it’s an energetic and exciting musical homage to the age of rock ‘n’ roll!
Revanche
July 10–16
2008, Austria, directed by Götz Spielmann, 121 minutes, rated R, 35mm print, in German and Russian with English subtitles.
At once a gripping thriller and a tragic drama of nearly Greek proportions, Revanche is the stunning, Oscar–nominated, international breakthrough film from Austrian filmmaker Götz Spielmann.
Hunger
July 17–23
2008, UK / Ireland, directed by Steve McQueen, 96 minutes, rated R, 35mm print.
Imprisoned in Northern Ireland, Bobby Sands leads a hunger strike to protest for special category status for republican prisoners.
The Seventh Seal
July 24–30
1957, Sweden, directed by Ingmar Bergman, 92 minutes, not rated, 35mm print.
Disillusioned and exhausted after a decade of battling in the Crusades, a knight (Max von Sydow) encounters Death on a desolate beach and challenges him to a fateful game of chess. The Seventh Seal (Det sjunde inseglet), was one of the benchmark foreign imports of America’s 1950s art-house heyday, pushing cinema’s boundaries and ushering in a new era of movie-going.
