Documentary: Robert Williams’ Mr. Bitchin’
Wednesday, June 16 | 7 pm
The movie recounts Williams’ emergence from his Kustom Kulture (Von
Dutch, Big Daddy Roth) and Zap Comix (R. Crumb, etc.) roots to
become a celebrated artist. It is an irreverent and hilarious view
of what is so right about contemporary art in America. He is
founder of Juxtapoz Magazine and has been selected for this year’s
Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York
City and was recently the subject of a show entitled “Conceptual
Realism in the Service of the Hypothetical” at the famed Tony
Shafrazi Gallery. Shafrazi has called Williams the William S.
Burroughs of the art world and others have credited him with
bringing the seminal elements of West Coast Outlaw Culture to the
world. Of his own work, Williams has said, “I’m still the same guy I
was when we were cranking out the lowbrow mags and customizing hot
rods but people are probably treating me with a little more respect
these days - whether I deserve it or not. You live long enough
that’s bound to happen.” The feature documentary was directed and
edited by Mary C. Reese and co-directed by PDC members Nancye
Ferguson and Doug Blake, and former board member Stephen Nemeth and
Michael LaFetra. Ferguson, Blake and LaFetra also served as
producers and Nemeth executive produced. The film will be released
theatrically in the fall. Legendary “Lowbrow” art pioneer Robert
Williams himself will attend and answer questions from art critic
and Coagula Art Journal founder, Mat Gleason, following the
screening. After the Q&A Mr. Williams will sign books and spend
time with the audience. Books will be available for purchase and
all sales will benefit LACMA and the PDC.

Preview Screening: Wild Grass
Thursday, June 10 | 7:30 pm
Widely acclaimed at its Cannes world premiere, the latest film from
France’s master of space-time intrigue, Alain Resnais, may be his
headiest concoction in decades. Racked by a mid-life crisis, George
becomes obsessed with the owner of a mysterious purse that he
chances upon: an aviatrix with a shocking red hair. As he tries to
track her down, he becomes enveloped in a mystery of his own making.
With its lush widescreen camerawork, playfully free-floating
montage, and imaginative tonal shifts, Resnais’s latest mind-bending
journey finds this 87-year-old filmmaker in peak form.
“Sublime…Resnais’s finest work to date.”—The New York Times.
2009/color/104 min./Scope | Scr: Alex Réval, Laurent Herbiet; dir:
Alain Resnais; w/ Sabine Azéma, André Dussollier, Anne Consigny,
Emmanuelle Devos, Mathieu Amalric

Classic Film Revival
The Conformist | 40th Anniversary Screenings
Friday, June 11 | 7:30 pm
Saturday, June 12 | 7:30 pm
Forty years ago this month, The Conformist, a new film by the young
Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci, premiered at the Venice
International Film Festival where critics raved about the lyricism
of its direction and the beauty of its images. Catapulted to
international art house fame by Before the Revolution, his first
feature set in the drizzly black-and-white provinces, Bertolucci
waited until his fourth film to unleash the full range of his
stylistic mastery—the elaborate tracking shots, the opulent color
photography, the odd, surrealistic visual incongruities. The result
was a highly original and influential film that applies golden-age
studio craftsmanship and movie glamour to a dark tale of moral
betrayal set against a sharply observed backdrop of political
corruption and brutality. Based on a 1951 novel by Alberto Moravia,
whose novels are characterized by their psychological realism and
their frank treatment of sexuality, and whose screenplays include De
Sica's Two Women and Godard's Contempt, The Conformist tells the
story of Marcello, a repressed, upper class intellectual whose
desire to be normal —the result of a childhood trauma and a growing
recognition of his homosexuality—propels him into the conformity of
marriage to a silly, middle-class girl and the security of a career
as a bureaucrat/informer in Italy’s new Fascist government.
Sexuality, pathology, and political deviance are the deadly elements
that are set in motion when Marcello, in Paris on his honeymoon, is
ordered to assist in the assassination of a leftist Italian writer,
a former professor and mentor, now an exile in France. Told in an
interlocking series of flashbacks that mirror the inner workings of
Marcello's mind and create an aura of impending doom, the film
builds to a devastating climax, followed by an epilogue in which
Marcello, six years older and fearful, seeks shelter from marauding
Roman mobs during the fall of Mussolini. An unprecedented
international success, The Conformist seduced audiences with its
lush art deco settings and couture fashions—worn to perfection by
its ravishing female leads—its sweeping camera movements, a lilting,
picaresque score by Georges Delarue (Jules and Jim) and, most
memorably, the dramatic color cinematography of Vittorio Storaro,
whose future projects would include Apocalypse Now, Reds, and
Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor. Well received upon its American
release (Bertolucci was nominated for a Best Adapted Screenplay
Oscar), the film was praised by Vincent Canby of the New York Times,
who found it a "decided improvement" over Moravia's novel and added
that "not the least of the film's extraordinary beauties is the way
it recalls an era." Pauline Kael, in the March 27, 1971 issue of The
New Yorker, declared it a "sumptuous, emotionally charged
experience," noting that Bertolucci "moves into the past, as he
works in the present, with a lyrical freedom almost unknown in the
history of movies." She reserved special praise for Jean-Louis
Trintignant's performance, writing that he "has an almost incredible
intuitive understanding of screen presence."

Weekend Series
Sympathy for the Devil: The Magick Cinema of Donald Cammell
Performance
Friday, June 4 | 7:30 pm
Drawing inspiration both from the East End’s mobster twins Ronald
and Reginald Kray (who Cammell wanted to employ as “technical
advisors” on the film) and Chelsea’s tuned-in/turned-on rock scene,
Performance follows ruthless Cockney gangster James Fox as he tries
to lie low in the baronial, rundown manor of reclusive, hippie
mystic Mick Jagger. With echoes of Persona (released in 1967),
Performance expands Bergman’s two-hander mind game into a series of
enigmatic trysts between heavy-lidded Jagger, his two concubines
(gamine Michele Breton and Anita Pallenberg, real-life girlfriend of
Keith Richards) and Fox. Throughout the grueling shoot, the
offscreen behavior of the four leads began to reflect their onscreen
debauchery. (After the film wrapped, Fox retreated to an evangelical
group and didn’t act again for a decade.) Co-directed by
cinematographer Nicholas Roeg—whose credits at the time included
Richard Lester’s Petulia, François Truffaut’s Fahrenheit 451 and
John Schlesinger’s Far from the Madding Crowd—Cammell’s debut
feature is hypnotically stylish. In addition to its cavernously
bohemian sets and hep Jack Nitzsche score—interspersing synthesizer
drones and Ry Cooder slide guitar—the film boasts “a nonstop farrago
of strobe cuts, flash forwards, percussive zooms, rack-focus shots
weird aural cues, and trippy interpolations” (J. Hoberman, The
Village Voice). These “strobe cuts”, developed by Cammell and
editor Frank Mazzola while Roeg was in Australia shooting Walkabout,
may be the film’s signature flourish, inspiring the jigsaw edits of
Easy Rider. Deemed unreleasable by Warner Bros. and panned by the
mainstream press when it finally hit theaters in 1970, Performance
now stands as a landmark of decadent imagination and a definitive
cult classic. “One of the greatest movies ever made in Britain… a
Modernist masterpiece that invokes Artaud and Genet, Borges,
Bataille and Burroughs, Nabokov’s Despair and Wilde’s The Picture of
Dorian Gray.”—John Patterson, LA Weekly.
1970/color/105 min. | Scr: Donald Cammell; dir: Donald Cammell,
Nicolas Roeg; w/ Mick Jagger, James Fox, Anita Pallenberg, Michele
Breton.
Bing Theater | $10 general admission. $7 museum members, seniors
(62+), students with valid ID.

White of the Eye
Friday, June 4 | 9:25 pm
An elliptical, Hitchcockian thriller set in the harsh, bleached
landscape of Arizona mining country, White of the Eye stars Cathy
Moriarty as a transplanted New Yorker pondering whether the man she
loves, audiophile David Keith, is a serial killer. Originally given
an X rating due to its menacing imagery—on one occasion, a police
officer likens the murderer’s handiwork to “post-Cubist Picasso…or
maybe even later”—the film was released with an R thanks to a letter
from Cammell confidant Marlon Brando to the chairman of the ratings
board defending the film’s “originality, artistry and power.”
Perhaps the least-seen of Cammell’s feature films, White of the Eye
is an eerie deconstruction of high-80’s consumerist culture that
reaches a startling desert climax which evokes Antonioni’s Zabriskie
Point. “In the final reel, I tried to create the sound and fury of
madness and take you into a world of transcendent horror.”—Donald
Cammell.
1987/color/110 min. | Scr: Donald Cammell; China Cammell; dir:
Donald Cammell; w/ David Keith, Cathy Moriarty, Art Evans
Bing Theater | $10 general admission. $7 museum members, seniors
(62+), students with valid ID.

Wild Side
Saturday, June 5 | 7:30 pm
Black-haired, bug-eyed Christopher Walken gives a performance of
career-best eccentricity as a gangster caught between his estranged
wife (Joan Chen), her lover (Anne Heche), and his double-crossing
bodyguard (Steven Hauer). With noir shadings, operatic sprawl,
Cammell’s trademark splintered crosscutting, and uninhibited acting
from its four stars, Wild Side may be Cammell’s most adventurous
film since Performance. This director’s-cut version—reconstructed
posthumously by Cammell’s wife/co-writer, China, and editor Frank
Mazzola—is longer than the edited version released to cable
television by its producers, though it has fewer scenes. “A film
which repeatedly and willfully brings itself to the brink of
implausibility and chaos, yet steps back to become an original and
exhilarating thriller, capriciously intelligent, with
experimentalism and verve…in Wild Side a cult classic has been
born.”—Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian.
1995/color/111 min. | Scr; China Kong, Donald Cammell; dir: Donald
Cammell; w/ Anne Heche,
Christopher Walken, Joan Chen, Steven Hauer
Bing Theater | $10 general admission. $7 museum members, seniors
(62+), students with valid ID.

Demon Seed
Saturday, June 5 | 10 pm
What if a giant blob of artificial intelligence decided to procreate
in human form? As the unhappy wife of a scientist who is imprisoned
in her own home and violated by an invincible machine (voiced by
Robert Vaughn), Julie Christie gives a harrowing, no-nonsense
performance. Cammell's claustrophobic, hallucinogenic depiction——
replete with cosmographic animations by avant-garde legend Jordan
Belson—of a biotech, appliance-saturated society that lacks moral or
genetic parameters is truly stunning.
1977/color/97 min./Panavision | Scr: Robert Jaffe, Roger Hirson;
dir: Donald Cammell; w/ Julie Christie, Fritz Weaver, Gerritt Graham
Bing Theater | $10 general admission. $7 museum members, seniors
