18.00
La grande abbuffata
by Marco Ferreri, France/Italy 1973, 125’
With Marcello Mastroianni, Michel Piccoli, Ugo Tognazzi, Philippe Noiret

A judge, a pilot, a chef and a producer meet outside Paris to kill themselves eating. Their gaze is dulled by their crazed torpor and melancholy, ”with the stomach stuffed and the genitals drained” (Moravia). A “tragedy of the flesh” (Buñuel). Today it instead gleams with the charity of a group of late millennium viveurs who practice loving suicide via the oesophagus.

21.00
Whispers and cries
by Ingmar Bergman, Sweden 1972, 91’
with Harriet Andersson, Ingrid Thulin, Liv Ullmann, Kari Sylwan, Georg Arlin, Erland Josephson, Henning Moritzen, Anders Ek

The agony of Agnes who, in the company of her two sisters and a governess, dies of cancer in the suburbs of Stockholm; one of the most personal and intimate of the Swedish master’s films. A “Symphony in red major” (Moandini) driven by the close ups of a mysterious expressive violence. The photography of Sven Nykvist, which inflames even the shadows, is closer to Matisse, Van Gogh and Strindberg than anything else film.
