Double Feature: GUN CRAZY, PIERROT LE FOU, March 24, 2013

Sunday, March 24 – 7:30 PM
Double Feature: GUN CRAZY, 1950, Warner Bros., 86 min. Dir. Joseph H. Lewis. A young man (John Dall) infatuated with firearms gets in way over his head when he falls for a reckless woman (Peggy Cummins) with a craving for armed robbery. Arguably the most hyper-charged, adrenaline-fueled B-movie of all time. Keep your eye out for a shot south down Las Palmas Avenue where you can see the newstand and the church that sill stand there today! {35mm}
PIERROT LE FOU, 1965, Rialto Films, 110 min. Dir. Jean-Luc Godard. Jean-Paul Belmondo, fed up with his wife and Paris, heads for the South of France with old flame Anna Karina, a classic pulp-fiction moll of a gang of crooks. Essential ’60s Godard, with sun-splashed color and CinemaScope photography by Raoul Coutard, a cameo by tough-guy director Sam Fuller and an explosive finale. "The most ravishing and romantic film ever made. ... The dazzling mise-en-scene alternates Lichtenstein with Cezanne, pop art with Impressionism, the shadow of Amerika falling across the Provençal sun." - Amy Taubin, Village Voice. In French with English subtitles. {35mm}
