Having given up his own dreams long ago, middle-aged physician Romeo
Aldea now primarily navigates his relationships with three women: an
estranged wife, a frustrated mistress, and his teenaged daughter
Eliza. It is Eliza's big event the title references; he has spent
years obsessively working toward that day, when she will be free from
the constraints their dead-end province. Yet the day before her
crucial final exams, an unfortunate incident proves enough of a threat
to a positive outcome that he reluctantly resorts to asking a favor of
a friend on the inside, which unravels a series of return favors,
ambiguous threats, bureaucracy, pay-offs and ethical conundrums —
embroiling him in the very corruption he has taught his daughter to
reject. In Mungiu's quickly moving, gripping drama, both father and
daughter, stuck with a limited range of options, have to negotiate the
sticky repercussions of an uneasy compromise — raising larger
questions about the complexity of Romania's present and perhaps,
future.

Pharos of Chaos

Event Date as Display String: Sunday, November 24, 2019, 7:00pm - 9:00pm Location: Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, 24 Quincy St., Cambridge URL: https://harvardfilmarchive.org/calendar/pharos-of-chaos-2019-11 Event Description: Wolf-Eckart Bühler was at work on a different film about the adventurous, seafaring Sterling Hayden (Der Havarist/The Shipwrecker) when he finally tracked down the man in person to make this frank, fascinating document. Bühler finds the semi-retired actor, war hero, occasional writer and itinerant sailor whiling away his days — frequently drunk or stoned — living on a barge in France. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to his character in Altman's "The Long Goodbye," the wild and weathered old man of the sea and out of time enjoys quoting his favorite literature and telling anecdotes until finally opening up about his alcoholism, his loneliness, his "creative impotency," and his deepest ...

HILR Intersession: Mollie Crawford-Volk: Velazquez' "Las Meninas" and its Modern Progeny

Event Date as Display String: Tuesday, January 21, 2020, 10:00am - 12:00pm Location: HILR, 34 Concord Avenue, Cambridge 02138 URL: http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/harvard-events/events-calendar/?trumbaEmbed=view%3Devent%26eventid%3D141501611 Event Description: Diego Velazquez' magisterial late work, "Las Meninas," created in 1656 near the end of his life, is universally recognized now as one of the greatest paintings in the history of western culture. Its scale, technical virtuosity, complex subject, and inclusion of the only uncontested self-portrait of the Spanish artist we have contributed decisively to its special stature. But this stature has been enormously enhanced by the number and quality of responses to the painting made by important later artists, a phenomenon that continues up to the present. Very few, if any, paintings in western art have inspired such an illustrious progeny. UID: http://uid.trumba.com/event/141501611 ...
