PRIVATE FEARS IN PUBLIC PLACES
(France—2006—directed by Alain Resnais)

As silent snowflakes gently fall on a magical Paris, six lonely people make unexpected contact as they search – each in different ways – for love, security and companionship. Adapted from a play by Britain’s Alan Ayckbourn, Private Fears in Public Places is the most richly rewarding, enchanting and accessible film in many, many years from the brilliant Alain Resnais (Hiroshima Mon Amour, Providence). Featuring a sparkling ensemble cast that includes Sabine Azéma, Lambert Wilson and André Dussolier, this delicate, sometimes heartbreaking tale of love and risk in the big city is every bit as visually dazzling as it is emotionally stirring. Venice and New York Film Festivals. In French with English subtitles.

IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA
(USA—1955—directed by Robert Gordon)

A gigantic octopus is on the loose in San Francisco Bay, thanks to that monster-unleashing staple of fifties sci-fi, atomic testing. The huge beast makes straight for as many landmarks as possible, including The Embarcadero, the Ferry Building, and, of course, the Golden Gate Bridge. Effects master Ray Harryhausen achieved great fluidity of motion in the giant creature despite an incredibly small budget – a budget so low that he was forced to give the big octopus just six tentacles instead of eight! (Viewers can’t tell the difference, however, thanks to that sleight-of-hand miracle known as film editing.) Kenneth Tobey (The Thing) and Faith Domergue (This Island Earth) are the gruff sub commander and the beautiful scientist who team up to save the city from certain destruction.

Godzilla
(Gojira, 1954, directed by Ishiro Honda)
