Piano Lesson

The Charles family has just one precious possession: a beautiful piano owned by them since the days when they toiled as slaves. They paid dearly in blood, sweat and tears to get this magnificent instrument -- and, in the present day, it becomes a focal point for the family's anger and opposing dreams. Boy Willie wants to sell the piano and buy the land that his forebears once cultivated for their "owners". But Berniece, Willie's sister, firmly believes that the piano must stay with them as a concrete memory of the family's history. As the two siblings angrily debate the piano's future, they gradually realize the symbolic value of this heirloom... and come to understand the events that so ravaged their family in the past.

Minority Report

The science-fiction thriller MINORITY REPORT, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise, is based on a short story by renowned writer Philip K. Dick. In the year 2054, in Washington, D.C., murder has been eliminated thanks to Precrime, a program that uses the visions of three psychics, called Precogs (an abbreviation for precognitive thinkers), to arrest and imprison would-be murderers before they have a chance to kill. Tom Cruise plays John Anderton, a Precrime enforcer who believes in the system for his own personal reasons--years back his young son was abducted, and he has dealt with the loss by becoming a high-strung Precrime officer. The director of Precrime (Max von Sydow) is eager to take the program national, and feels threatened by an ambitious federal agent (Colin Farrell) who is bent on finding a flaw in the system. When Anderton finds himself accused of the future murder of a man he's never met, his faith in Precrime is instantly shaken. He goes on the run, and is trailed by the relentless Precrime police. In the tradition of BLADE RUNNER (also based on a Dick story), MINORITY REPORT is a dark, brooding vision of the future. Spielberg expertly mixes thrilling chase and suspense sequences (the best of which involves Anderton being pursued by eye-scanning mechanical spiders) and stunning special effects with a challenging look at society's willingness to sacrifice privacy and the notion of free will for convenience and security. MINORITY REPORT is a thought-provoking and exciting film that ranks with Spielberg's best.

Contempt

Unfaithful

Connie Sumner (Diane Lane) travels to New York City from the suburban home she shares with her husband Edward (Richard Gere) and young son Charlie (Erik Per Sullivan). It is a very windy day and, caught by a particularly savage gust, Connie falls and bumps into bookseller Paul Martel (Olivier Martinez) in the process. She scrapes her knees, and Paul invites her into his apartment. She stays only briefly, leaving after attending to her knees. She passes the accident off as trivial to Edward. But, she is drawn to the younger man and soon returns to his apartment with eventually disastrous results. UNFAITHFUL is based on Claude Chabrol's classic UNE FEMME INFIDELE (1969). The drama has been shifted from Paris to New York City by scriptwriters Alvin Sargent and William Broyles Jr. Beautifully lit by director of photography Peter Biziou, UNFAITHFUL is staged with rare subtlety by director Adrian Lyne. Diane Lane gives an extraordinarily fine performance, viscerally conveying how torn Connie is between her attraction for Paul and her love for Edward and Charlie. There is excellent support from Gere, Martinez, Sullivan and Zeljko Ivanek. UNFAITHFUL is the rare case of a remake that measures up to, and maybe even surpasses, the original.

King of Comedy

Theatrical release: February 18, 1983. Filmed in 1981 on location in New York City. Estimated budget: $19 million. The film is believed to be Martin Scorsese's response to criticism that his film TAXI DRIVER was in some way responsible for John Hinckley's assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan in 1980. The film marked comedian Sandra Bernhard's first feature role; she has since gone on to star in her own concert films and to appear in a recurring role on TV's ROSEANNE. Johnny Carson was originally asked to play the role of talk-show host Jerry Langford; he refused, fearing that life might imitate art and that he would be kidnapped. Johnny Carson's TONIGHT SHOW producer, Fred DeCordova, appears as Bert Thomas in the film. The film was the lowest-grossing release by a major studio in 1983. Don't miss the scene in the restaurant when a man in the background mimics everything that Robert De Niro does.
