Violence And Art Film Series: A Clockwork Orange
November 29, 2006
Where: Fine Arts Center - Room 204
Director Stanley Kubrick, 1971, UK, 136 min
In a futuristic Britain, a gang of teenagers go on the rampage every night, beating and raping helpless victims. After one of the boys quells an uprising in the gang, they knock him out and leave him for the police to find. He agrees to try "aversion therapy" to shorten his jail sentence. When he is eventually let out, he hates violence, but the rest of his gang members are still after him. Considered one of Kubrick's best films (nominated for 4 Oscars), and most poignant in the theme of violence and art.

Violence And Art Film Series: Seul Contre Tous (I Stand Alone)
November 22, 2006
Where: Fine Arts Center - Room 204
Directed by Gaspar Noe, 1998, France, 93 min
France, 1980. A retired horsemeat butcher fights to survive. After abandoning his teenage daughter, and hoping to rebuild a new life, he moves to Lille with his pregnant lover. He doesn't love her. He likes even less living at his mother-in-law's apartment. Quickly his hopes turn into bitterness, and this bitterness into obsessions. Violence explodes. The man returns to Paris and tries to restart his life again. He counts on his luck to find work and new friends. But both are hard to find. In this city, like elsewhere, living is a selfish act. Alone against everyone the ex-butcher stays in the hotel room where many years ago his daughter was conceived. Without a penny and with the sole company of a gun charged with three bullets, he doesn't see clearly what the purpose of his life is. His stomach cries for food. His brain orders him to take revenge.
