WEST SIDE STORY

Robert Wise & Jerome Robbins   USA, 1961, 152 min.

A New York street take on Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet that feels as contemporary now as it did on its initial release. Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer are star-crossed lovers in what remains one of the boldest and most breathlessly dynamic musicals ever made. It went on to score ten Oscars. It's the groundbreaking combination of toe-tapping tunes and wailing pathos, which makes this a truly arresting musical. Set against Leonard Bernstein's rousing instrumentals are unabashedly scathing lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. --BBCi

ITALY: LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT

Directors: Luca Ragazzi & Gustav Hofer 

 Italy, 2012, 75 min; Italian with subtitles

“EFFERVESCENT!” –Variety

In this hit documentary, Italian journalists/filmmakers Ragazzi and Hofer wonder if those roads leading to Rome don’t also look like escape routes. There is an opportunity to move to Berlin - where rents are a third of the price, there’s less unemployment, and less homophobia too. Also Berlusconi doesn’t live there. Even so, Luca is loathe to leave. So they hop into a vintage FIAT 500 and set off to take stock of "the real Italy", with a pilgrimage to visit George Clooney’s Lake Como villa on the side. –Vancouver International Film Festival

How are interpretations of literature changing in a digital age? Using James Joyce's Ulysses as its tutor text, this student-curated exhibit engages that very question, with an emphasis on time, place, computation, and speculation. The exhibit brings together traditional physical materials from the University's Special Collections and the University of Victoria Art Collections with 3D replications of objects, as well as a digital environment. Guided by the question of self-remediation –how do we see ourselves as others see us– the exhibit places Ulysses in its contemporary context and engages its long, often unanticipated, afterlife. Audiences are invited to interact with many of the curated materials.

The gallery is open during library hours.

THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES

Director: Derek Cianfrance     USA, 2013, 141 min; 14A       Cast: Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes

An ambitious epic that expands into a wondrously widescreen tale of fathers, sons and the legacy of sins that are passed down through the generations. Ryan Gosling's Luke leads a carnival group of daredevil motorcycle stunt drivers. His job is one that means he's always on the move. But things change when he learns his fling with Romina (Eva Mendes) the previous year has resulted in a son. Luke is determined to do the reputable thing and contribute to the support of his child, despite the obstacles in his way. Luke's path puts him right on a collision course with Avery (Bradley Cooper), a local cop. Derek Cianfrance has now placed himself in the canon of great, contemporary American filmmakers like Paul Thomas Anderson and the Coen Brothers. A brilliant, towering picture and a cinematic accomplishment of extraordinary grace and insight. –The Playlist
