THE LIVES OF OTHERS
Regent Square Theater
1035 S. Braddock Ave, Edgewood / 412-682-4111
Best Foreign Film Oscar winner!
This political thriller begins in East Germany, five years before Glasnost and the fall of the Berlin Wall. It chronicles the consequences of the Minister of Culture's decision to investigate, by means of surveillance, the lives of a successful playwright and his girlfriend, a popular actress -- even though they pose no threat to the state. The complex yet lucid script and the noir-inflected camerawork establish a brooding atmosphere of fear, doubt and suspicion, and create a suspenseful story of political and moral relevance. With its superb cast, this intense drama succeeds both as a convincing historical recreation and as a compelling tale of individuals whose lives are shaped by the society they live in. With subtitles. (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck; Germany; 2006; 137 min)

TOUCH OF EVIL
Regent Square Theater
1035 S. Braddock Ave, Edgewood / 412-682-4111
Part 4 of the Sunday Nights with Orson Welles Series Even with studio interference, Welles proved he was an exceptional talent, in this taut drama about police corruption in a sleazy border town. Great performances from Welles, Janet Leigh and Charlton Heston, as a Mexican cop, no less. The opening sequence is legendary, and even after almost 50 years, it holds up as stunning cinema. Watch a trailer. (USA 1958; 108 min)
Sun 3/25 ... 7:30

MAN PUSH CART
Harris Theater
809 Liberty Ave, Downtown / 412-682-4111
"I loved it!" Roger Ebert.
Due to an ice storm and a small flood that closed the Harris Theater for a few days last month, we decided this great little indie film needed one more chance to be seen. Recalling that great neorealist classic The Bicycle Thief, this beautifully crafted fiction film is a touching portrait of a Manhattan street vender. Ahmed once a famous pop star in Pakistan is now selling coffee and bagels to rushing New Yorkers. We come to understand that this quiet man is troubled by his past, as he struggles with his sense of self-worth and the harsh realities of finding his place in a rarely depicted corner of America. (Ramin Bahrani; 2006; USA; 87 min)

THE GUATEMALAN HANDSHAKE
Harris Theater
809 Liberty Ave, Downtown / 412-682-4111
Another indie film (which premiered here at the Three Rivers Film Festival) we wanted to bring back is this quirky look at Americana. Filmed in Harrisburg, it's the story of Donald the demolition derby driver, played by Will Oldham. When Donald vanishes, his friends & family are in a quandary.
The landscape is strewn with lost objects and lost people: Donald's pregnant girlfriend, his helpless and car-less father, a pack of wild boy scouts, a lactose intolerant roller rink employee, an elderly woman in search of her lost dog, and a ten-year-old girl named Turkeylegs. Many of the crew on this project have a local connection. (Todd Rohal; USA; 2005; 96 min)

MATTHEW BARNEY NO RESTRAINT
Melwood Screening Room
477 Melwood Ave, N. Oakland / 412-682-4111 or 412-681-5449
This documentary examines the creative process by observing one of the most brilliant artists working today: Matthew Barney (often baffling, always amazing). We watch him as he installs his blubbery sculpture on a Japanese whaling ship. He's there to make his film Drawing Restraint 9 with co-star and girlfriend Bjork as they play terrifically strange travelers. For background, there's a video clip of Barney's 1988 performance piece Drawing Restraint 2. Strapped into a harness and tether, the athletic artist strains to make a drawing on paper almost beyond his reach. Art dealers, critics and curators add appreciative and helpful comments. Barney's dad says his son started as a pre-med major at Yale, planning on a career in plastic surgery.
If he had not detoured to art, "there'd be some strange people walking around the street," notes his dad. (Alison Chernick; USA/Japan; 2007; 70
min)
Screening with No Restraint "Cadillac Ranch" by Ant Farm (16 min; 1975) and "Semiotics of the Kitchen" by Martha Rosler (6 min; 1975). Distributed by Video Data Bank.
Fri 3/23 & Sat 3/24 ... 7:30, 9:30
