Featured Film:
Eric Rohmer at the Seattle Art Museum
I somehow missed that the terrific Eric Rohmer series started at SAM last week, so apologies if you missed out on Pauline at the Beach because of me. But there’s still a lot more great Rohmer to come over the next several Thursday nights, starting with this week’s show of La collectionneuse. The series skips around the career of the greatest of all French New Wave directors, with four of his Moral Tales and three of his Comedies and Proverbs, and one of his Four Seasons and another miscellaneous one in the mix. The Green Ray, playing on February 13, is probably the best, but they’re all basically perfect so it’s kind of silly to rank them and you really should see them all. Elsewhere around town, SIFF’s Agnès Varda series continues with One Sings, the Other Doesn’t, and her last film, the lovely autobiography Varda by Agnès. And in what is sure to be one of the anime events of the year, the Beacon has all six episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion and Shin Godzilla genius Hideaki Anno’s Gunbuster on Sunday afternoon. There’s just time enough to watch it before the Seahawks game.
