Previous Screenings
Tuesday 10 March 2009, 5.45 pm
Psycho (1960) (Director: Alfred Hitchcock)
with Janet Leigh, John Gavin and Anthony Perkins
Janet Leigh plays a bored office drone who decides to steal some loot from her boss's obnoxious client and parlay it into a new life with her all-too-distant boyfriend. All is going more or less according to plan until she stops in at the wrong motel, where she befriends a friendly if somewhat nerdy desk clerk only to find it causes problems with that clerk's possessive mother, who as her boy explains, "is not herself today." I'll say she isn't, and so would Leigh's Marion Crane, who maybe should have put up that "Do-Not-Disturb" sign before taking a shower.
plus:
short documentary, The Art of Eating (1976)
An 11 minutes short documentary about etiquette gastronomy in French Canada. The film mixes humour with superb food, showing a banquet hall in Quebec where Le Club Prosper Montagne, regarded as North America's most knowledgeable gastronomic society, is holding its biannual dinner. The kitchen where Chef Marcel Kretz is coordinating this delicate event is also shown. Directed by Douglas Jackson.
Tuesday 10 February 2009, 5.45 pm
