most radical departure from the more familiar genre territories
explored by Hawks is his ill-fated tale of ancient Egypt — a saga of
hubris, greed and obsession with the afterlife — that was also the
director's first and only major box-office bomb. Over time, "Land of
the Pharaohs" has earned a place as a beloved and much-admired cult
film and as proof of the auteurist theory that even the most seemingly
outlier films are essential to a filmmaker's oeuvre. In this case, the
film provides the typical Hawksian balance between thrilling action
spectacle — especially the construction of the pharaoh's tomb and
gripping sequences with poisonous vipers — and intimate romantic
rivalries, with a young Joan Collins casting a particularly bewitching
spell as a Cypresian princess determined to charm her way into the
heart of the pharaoh and his secret treasure trove.

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 ...
