He Who Must Die
Tuesday, March 19, 2002
9:30 PM

Directed by Jules Dassin, France/Italy 1957
At the end of World War I, a Greek village that is prospering under
laissez-faire Turkish dominion and practicing for its annual Easter passion
play finds itself host to a horde of starving peasants - survivors of a
distant massacre. Fearing the wrath of the Turkish bey, the village elders
refuse them refuge, but a few - including the local harlot, cast as Mary
Magdalene, and an illiterate shepherd assigned to play Jesus - come to
their aid, with fateful consequences. Adapting Nikos Kazantzakis's Christ
Recrucified, Dassin and fellow blacklist exile Ben Barzman create a
timeless parable of righteous defiance in the face of corrupt authority.
We are pleased to present a newly restored 35mm archival CinemaScope print,

The Last Temptation of Christ
Tuesday, April 16, 2002
9:00 PM

Directed by Martin Scorsese, US 1988
While Scorsese's faithful adaptation of the Nikos Kazantzakis novel is a
controversial telling of the Christ story, for many believers and
nonbelievers alike this exploration of the man behind the myth is
considered a true article of faith. Dafoe delivers a brilliant portrayal
of a Jesus who, uncertain whether the voices he hears are from God or
Satan, is locked in an agonizing battle with his own destiny. A labor of
love many years in the planning, Scorsese's epic work is an elegant and
thought-provoking treatise on spirituality and existence.
