Cité Cinema

Slim pickings somewhat at the Cinémathèque Française over the next few months. I copped the schedule a few weeks late this weekend; on the 6th I missed The Last Movie – long out of print, totally wigged out (from what I’ve heard) and directed by Dennis Hopper, who did one of my all-time favorites, Easy Rider. But Woody Allen’s Zelig is a choice flick. And Renaldo and Clara, direted by Bob Dylan, was recently referenced in Todd Haynes’s I’m Not There, which I fuckin loved. (Never seen it though, Renaldo and Clara.) Peggy Sue Got Married makes the list for Francis Ford Coppola alone. And I’d love to get a comment battle going comparing Mick Jagger in Performace to David Bowie in The Man Who Fell to Earth, but this ain’t furthermuckin film school. Anyway, here’s my quarterly list of the upcoming Cinémathèque Française films that I find the most interesting – and R. Kelly:

Peggy Sue Got Married – December 26
Ghostbusters – December 27
Pet Sematary – December 29
Zelig – January 9
Trapped in the Closet, ch. 1-22 – January 25
