Aero Theatre From a series of highly original and stylish shorts to a masterful early feature (SWEETIE), a series of evocative period pieces (PORTRAIT OF A LADY, THE PIANO), forays into feminist genre filmmaking (IN THE CUT) and unconventional biopics (AN ANGEL AT MY TABLE, BRIGHT STAR), Jane Campion has proven herself to be one of... the cinema's most distinctive and talented voices.

BRIGHT STAR, 2009, Apparition, 119 min. Jane Campion's latest film follows the true-life relationship between poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw) and his neighbor Fanny Brice (Abbie Cornish), whose passionate feelings for each other are continually thwarted by John's illness and societal pressures. Paul Schneider plays Keats' jealous best friend.


SWEETIE, 1989, Avenue Pictures Productions, 97 min. Jane Campion's first theatrical feature follows two sisters in a highly dysfunctional family who engage in a physical and psychological battle of wills. Their father only adds to their problems when his wife leaves him to fend for himself, turning the family home into a darkly comic war zone.

Discussion in between films with director Jane Campion.

THE BACKYARD (EL TRASPATIO), 2009, Mexico, 122 min, Dir. Sabina Berman. Mexico City Police Academy graduate Blanca Bravo is young, strong, stern and idealistic when she’s confronted with a series of murdered women. Blanca begins investigating, and very soon discovers a society at odds with itself; a soc...iety alienated by injustice and violence - and by the indifference of its people. Based on events that took place in 1996 in the Mexican border town of Juarez. In Spanish with English subtitles.

I SAW THE SUN (GÜNESI GÖRDÜM), 2009, Turkey, 120 min. Dir. Mahsun Kirmizigul. With the introduction of forced migration policies, the Altun clan finds itself wrenched from the mountain village it has called home for generations. Spanning a period of 25 years, the film recounts the experiences of the family members as they struggle to find their feet in alien surroundings. In Turkish with English subtitles.

Aero Theatre Regarding that Carrie screening that was postponed to Dec 2: Sorry to disappoint, but before there was - you know "pig blood" Carrie there was Jennifer Jones as Carrie (1952), a woman in early 1900's Chicago who had a tortured life as a kept woman. Laurence Olivier was "keeping" her so at least she had good company whe...n he wasn't with his wife.

www.tcm.com
Opening credits, Jennifer Jones (in the title role) bidding her family goodbye, and meeting salesman Drouet (Eddie Albert) in the opening of William Wyler's <B>Carrie</B> 1952.
