Friday and Saturday, April 19-20, 2013:
Two by Roman Polanski (double feature)
THE TENANT 1976, France, 126 minutes, 35mm, Paramount Pictures Directed by Roman Polanski Written by GĂ©rard Brach, Roman Polanski, Roland Topol (novel) Cinematography by Sven Nykvist Starring Roman Polanski, Isabelle Adjani, Melvyn Douglas, Jo Van Fleet, Bernard Fresson, Lila Kedrova, Claude Dauphin, Shelley Winters Fri: 7:30 pm; Sat: 3:15 & 7:30 pm
"It's an exercise in urban paranoia and mental disintegration that echoes or anticipates everything from Repulsion and Rosemary's Baby to Bitter Moon and The Pianist." - J. Hoberman, The Village Voice
"Although overshadowed by director Roman Polanski's more famous horror efforts... The Tenant is in many ways superior - a haunting, mesmerizing tale of a man's loss of identity and descent into madness." - Steve Biodrowski, Cinefantastique

PLUS, on the same double feature:
CARNAGE 2011, France/Germany/Poland/Spain, 80 minutes, 35mm, Sony Pictures Classics Directed by Roman Polanski Written by Roman Polanski & Yasmina Reza Based on Yasmine Reza's play Starring Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, John C. Reilly Fri: 9:55 pm; Sat: 5:40 & 9:55 pm
"The point isn't the plot, it's the performances. Here four familiar actors seem ideally cast for their roles." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"Snappy, nasty, deftly acted and perhaps the fastest paced film ever directed by a 78-year-old, this adaptation of Yasmina Reza's award-winning play God of Carnage fully delivers the laughs and savagery of the stage piece..." - Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter
"Seeing these four actors launching Reza's zingers at each other at high speed is pretty much worth the price of admission all by itself, and one thing you always know about Polanski is that he won't waste your time." - Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
