The films screening in NZIFF Autumn Events 2014
Aguirre, the Wrath of God (Auckland and Wellington only)
Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes, West Germany 1972
Director/Screenplay: Werner Herzog
In German with English subtitles
Once seen, never forgotten, this hallucinatory epic of Spanish conquistadors unhinged in the Amazon is the definitive Werner Herzog expedition to the edge. It was also the first of his collaborations with his legendary “best fiend”, actor Klaus Kinski.
“With a new restoration, the sound of gobs being smacked will resound in cinemas once again. It looks more magnificent and mad than ever.” — Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
Sessions:
Saturday 12 April, 8.15 pm, The Civic, AUCKLAND
Sunday 20 April, 6.00 pm, Embassy WELLINGTON
Funny Face
USA 1957
Director: Stanley Donen
A charming confection of 50s vogues, this musical casts Audrey Hepburn as a brainy West Village bookshop manager and Fred Astaire as the fashion photographer whose camera (not to mention a trip to Paris and some fabulous Givenchy gowns) might just transform her into a runway star.
“The musical that dares to rhyme Sartre with Montmartre, Funny Face knocks most other musicals off the screen for its visual beauty, its witty panache, and its totally uncalculating charm.”— Time Out Film Guide
Sessions:
Friday 11 April, 1.00 pm, The Civic, AUCKLAND
Saturday 12 April, 2.15 pm, Regent DUNEDIN
Sunday 13 April, 1.00 pm, The Civic, AUCKLAND
Saturday 19 April, 6.00 pm, Embassy WELLINGTON
Saturday 26 April, 2.15 pm, MTG Theatre NAPIER
Sunday 18 May, 2.15 pm, Hoyts Riccarton CHRISTCHURCH
Lawrence of Arabia (Napier, Dunedin, Christchurch only)
UK/USA 1962
Director: David Lean
Festivals: Cannes (Classics), London 2012
4K DCP
David Lean’s 1962 biopic remains the benchmark in epic action cinema: literate, dynamic and visually stupendous. Dashing performances by Peter O’Toole and Omar Sharif defined the two young actors for life.
“There are no intelligent epics like this today and, because of computer-generated effects, it's unlikely that there ever will be again.” — Philip French, The Observer
Sessions:
Sunday 13 April, 1.30 pm, Regent DUNEDIN
Sunday 27 April, 2.15 pm, MTG Theatre NAPIER
Sunday 11 May, 2.15 pm, Hoyts Riccarton CHRISTCHURCH
On The Waterfront
USA 1954
Director: Elia Kazan
Winner, Eight Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor
4K DCP
Marlon Brando mesmerises in the indelible performance that revolutionised big-screen acting 60 years ago and is still heart-breaking today.
“As unspoiled in its key elements as the day it was made, On the Waterfront is indisputably one of the great American films.” — Kenneth Turan, LA Times
Sessions:
Friday 11 April, 4.00 pm, The Civic, AUCKLAND
Saturday 12 April, 8.15 pm, Regent DUNEDIN
Sunday 13 April, 3.30 pm, The Civic, AUCKLAND
Saturday 19 April, 6.00 pm, MTG Theatre NAPIER
Sunday 27 April, 4.00 pm, Embassy WELLINGTON
Saturday 10 May, 6.00 pm, Hoyts Riccarton CHRISTCHURCH
The Third Man
UK 1949
Director/Producer: Carol Reed
Ranked first in the British Film Institute’s end-of-century survey of British cinema, The Third Man is film noir with rare pedigree: director Carol Reed and actor Orson Welles bring sinister flamboyance to novelist Graham Greene’s literate, perfectly structured thriller script.
“Of all the movies I have seen, this one most completely embodies the romance of going to the movies.” — Roger Ebert
Sessions:
Saturday 12 April, 6.00 pm, The Civic, AUCKLAND
Saturday 12 April, 6.00 pm, Regent DUNEDIN
Saturday 12 April, 6.00 pm, MTG Theatre NAPIER
Saturday 12 April, 6.00 pm, Embassy WELLINGTON
Saturday 3 May, 6.00 pm, Hoyts Riccarton CHRISTCHURCH
The Wind Rises
Kaze tachinu, Japan 2013
Director: Miyazaki Hayao
In Japanese, French, German and Italian, with English subtitles
Nominated, Best Animated Feature, Academy Awards 2014
The great Japanese animator Miyazaki Hayao has announced his retirement and if he sticks to his word, he will have gone out on a sublime note. The Wind Rises is a fictionalised portrait of the brilliant aeronautical engineer Horikoshi Jiro and the two loves of his life: his work, and his ailing wife, Nahoko.
“Marked by flights of incredible visual fancy… Miyazaki’s hauntingly beautiful historical epic draws a sober portrait of Japan between the two World Wars.” — Scott Foundas, Variety
