ICE-Vision: Three Crowns of the Sailor (Raul Ruiz, 1983)
Thursday, April 21 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150

Film Studies major Will Stephenson continues ICE’s informal weekly series, selecting a variety of world cinema classics and subcultural curiosities.

“Raul Ruiz’s compendium of old sea stories, drawn from Dinesen, Andersen, Stevenson, and Conrad, and knitted together into a tale of wonderful complexity. Ruiz plays a game with the audience, challenging us to find the patterns within the film’s apparently arbitrary events, and then asking us to find the patterns that unite the patterns. Paradoxes build on paradoxes and logic on illogic, and yet the game has a serious end, building toward a world stripped of substance, in which everything signifies but nothing means. The visual style, based on Welles but with its own surprising directions, is just as imaginative. With Jean Bernard Guillard, Philippe Deplanche, and Lisa Lyon.” -Dave Kehr

ICE-Vision: Wild Style (Charles Ahearn, 1983)
Thursday, April 14 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150

Film Studies major Will Stephenson continues ICE’s informal weekly series, selecting a variety of world cinema classics and subcultural curiosities.

“For 15 years one of the most sought-after cult films in existence, Charles Ahearn’s early hip-hop docudrama Wild Style finally makes its first widespread video appearance. As a showcase for many aspects of the incredible outpouring of creativity that took place in New York during the late ’70s and early ’80s, it can’t be beat. Fortunately, Ahearn spends much more time concentrating on graffiti, break-dancing, and rap music (including an appearance by Grandmaster Flash and, in a dramatic role, Fab 5 Freddy) than on his story. It’s a fascinating time capsule, worth examining for anyone interested in the cultural roots of hip hop.” -Village Voice

“Indisputably the most important hip-hop movie, ever.” -BBC
