Wuthering Heights is Academy Award®-winning writer-director Andrea Arnold's third feature following the BAFTA® award winning Fish Tank and Cannes Jury Prize winning Red Road, an excitingly fresh and distinct take on the classic novel by Emily Brontë. An epic love story that spans childhood well into the young adult years, the film follows Heathcliff, a boy taken in by a benevolent

Yorkshirefarmer, Earnshaw. Living in Earnshaw's home, Heathcliff develops a passionate relationship with the farmer's teenage daughter, Catherine, inspiring the envy and mistrust of his son, Hindley… Arnold's film brings out the powerful emotions at the heart of Brontë's classic novel, resulting in a viscerally affecting love story. It is a sweepingly old-fashioned tale of family, class, and romance told in a bracingly modern way by one of contemporary cinema's most gifted and unique filmmakers.

Searching for Sugar Man at Miami Beach Cinematheque- November 10,

“BEST OF SUNDANCE”

Special Jury & Audience Award, Documentary

SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN

Documentary directed by MALICK BENJELLOUL/UK/86mins.

November 10, 11 8:45pm

Searching For Sugar Man tells the incredible true story of Rodriguez, the greatest '70s rock icon who never was. Discovered in a Detroit bar in the late '60s by two celebrated producers struck by his soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics, they recorded an album which they believed would secure his reputation as the greatest recording artist of his generation. In fact, the album bombed and the singer disappeared into obscurity amid rumors of a gruesome on-stage suicide. But a bootleg recording found its way into apartheid South Africa and, over the next two decades, he became a phenomenon. The film follows the story of two South African fans who set out to find out what really happened to their hero. Their investigation leads them to a story more extraordinary than any of the existing myths about the artist known as Rodriguez.

“A GREAT TRIUMPH! A hugely entertaining, emotionally touching, and musically revelatory experience”-Todd Gilchrist, IndieWire

“Part of the appeal of Searching for Sugar Man, director Malik Bendjelloul’s engaging, cleverly structured documentary, is that the film is shaped like a mystery. The more we learn…the more we want to know about the singer.”

-Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

BUSTER KEATON

in  THE PLAYHOUSE

Directed by BUSTER KEATON & EDWARD F. CLINE/1921/23mins.

With Buster Keaton, Buster Keaton, Buster Keaton, and Buster Keaton

 

Showing off Buster Keaton’s legendary inventiveness, The Playhouse, one of his earliest directed shorts, is famous for an awe-inspiring dream sequence where he plays all the characters, the stage performers, the audience, and everyone in between. As a pioneer cinema experimentalist, he dreamed up screen tricks better than anyone at the time, and was copied endlessly, but with lesser success. 

   

and  SHERLOCK JR.

Directed by BUSTER KEATON/1924/45mins.

With Buster Keaton, Kathryn McGuire, Joe Keaton, Ward Crane

Sherlock Jr. is one of Buster Keaton’s most ingenious films that incorporates not only his complex physical style of self-performed stunts (with one in which he gets injured for life), but his sophisticated sense of trickery and highly imaginative use of the cinema medium. It is also non-stop funny. Buster is a movie theatre projectionist studying to be a detective. He is vying for the attention of a beautiful girl (Katheryn McGuire), but has competition in the form of “the local sheik” (Ward Crane), a rival who manages to trick the girl into believing Buster is a thief. Buster dreams of solving the crime, and creates one of cinema history’s most famous dream sequences…

"The impeccable comedian directs himself in an impeccable silent comedy...Is this, as some critics have argued, an example of primitive American surrealism? Sure. But let's not get fancy about it. It is more significantly, a great example of American minimalism simple objects and movement manipulated in casually complex ways to generate a steadily rising gale of laughter."-Time Magazine

Bettie Page’s previously unknown personal life is as dramatic as her modeling career is iconic. Bettie Page Reveals All compellingly captures the story of an aspiring teacher turned model who unintentionally affected contemporary pop culture. That surprise role ultimately evolved into Bettie being viewed as our greatest and most controversial model of all time. As the first and only authorized Bettie Page film biography, the "Queen of Curves" emerges from 40 years of enigmatic seclusion to tell her story in her own words, all steeped in mirth, mayhem and mystery. The smoldering siren, who fans perceive as making sex fun in an era of sexual repression, finally steps forth with secrets she's kept buried for decades. Bettie Page, the icon, launches thousands of imitators worldwide. More popular today than Marilyn Monroe, she is regularly discovered by young men and women who thrive on the art of tease amid our hyper-sexualized society.
