"Red River," Hawks stages a brewing tension between Thomas Dunson
(John Wayne) and Matt Garth (Montgomery Clift), an antipathy famously
shared by the men playing them. While Wayne was delivering one of his
iconic performances in a Western, Clift was making his screen debut,
and the tussling that explodes onscreen as the cattle rancher and his
protégé embark on a massive pilgrimage to Missouri has occasionally
been seen as an allegory for the generational shift developing in
Hollywood between old-fashioned stardom and method acting. Whatever
extratextual fascination the casting may have, however, cedes the
floor to the film itself, a riveting Old West yarn brought to life by
some of Hawks' most muscular filmmaking. Boasting monumentally-scaled
sequences of cattle migration across America's vast heartland, the
film is impressively choreographed and visually thrilling, though its
dramatic core resides in the passages of downtime when Dunson and his
crew set up camp to refuel and plan for the next day's challenges.
It's here, when Dunson refuses to compromise on his original lucrative
plot even in the face of developing obstacles, that the rift with
Garth is established, turning the film's surrogate father-son tale
into a study of violently clashing male egos that Hawks nevertheless
settles in one of his great tributes to the power of fraternity.

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 ...
