Rivers and Tides
June 19 / 8:30 pm $5
“Anyone who has built a sand castle by the edge of the sea and paused to observe the rising tide creep in and wash it away, can sink into the contemplative world of Andy Goldsworthy, the Scottish artist profiled in Thomas Riedelsheimer's documentary. This bearded, soft-spoken 46–year-old dreamer works mostly outdoors, creating mutable sculptures that he calls earthworks. As the film's images accumulate, the movie becomes a sustained and ultimately refreshing meditation on surrender to the idea of temporality. If Mr. Goldsworthy's humility in the face of change reminds us that all is vanity, his playfulness also reminds us that a fervent engagement in the moment is in its own way infinite.”
— Stephen Holden , The New York Times
The Five Obstructions
July 17 / 8:30 pm $5
“In the 1960's, Mr. Leth made a 12-minute film called ‘The Perfect Human,’ which Mr. von Trier claims to have seen 20 times and which he assigns his elder colleague to remake. The five new versions are made under increasingly exigent and absurd constraints — one is a cartoon, one must be shot in the worst place on earth and one must contain no shot lasting more than half a second — and the results are fascinating and strange. The heart of ‘The Five Obstructions’, though, is the psychological drama that develops as the mercurial Mr. von Trier faces off against the cool, implacable Mr. Leth. This examination of the arbitrariness and irrationality at the heart of the creative progress makes you wonder why anyone in his right mind would make a movie, and also grateful that oddballs like Mr. von Trier and Mr. Leth, against all reason, bother to do so.”
— A. O. Scott, The New York Times
