This film has it all: Dario Argento, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Leone co-wrote it; Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson are cast against type with Ford playing the vilian; and, an amazing score by Ennio Morricone. Although a financial flop when originally released, it is now considered one of the best Westerns ever made.

DAVID LYNCH: THE ART LIFE looks at Lynch’s art, music, and early films, shining a light into the dark corners of his unique world and giving audiences a better understanding of the man and the artist. As he says, “I think every time you do something, like a painting or whatever, you go with ideas, and sometimes the past can conjure those ideas and color them. Even if they’re new ideas, the past colors them.” We’re invited in and given private views from Lynch’s compound and painting studio in the hills high above Hollywood, as he tells personal stories that unfold like scenes from his films. Strange characters come into focus only to fade again into the past, all leaving an indelible mark.

Attention: This is opening weekend and this is a reserved seating theatre. You should buy tickets in advance here.

Note: This film is part of IFFBoston 2017. You should buy tickets in advance to ensure a seat. Furthermore, while Sean should be around before and after the movie to make sure the group finds each other, he has festival movies on either side of the club pick, so he will likely be skipping dinner.

Filmed in Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon’s signature whimsical style, LOST IN PARIS stars the filmmakers as a small-town Canadian librarian and a strangely seductive, oddly egotistical vagabond. When Fiona’s (Gordon) orderly life is disrupted by a letter of distress from her 93-year-old Aunt Martha (delightfully portrayed by Academy Award nominee Emmanuelle Riva, AMOUR), who is living in Paris, Fiona hops on the first plane she can and arrives only to discover that Martha has disappeared. In an avalanche of spectacular disasters, she encounters Dom (Abel), the affable but annoying tramp who just won’t leave her alone. Replete with the amazing antics and intricately choreographed slapstick that have come to define Abel and Gordon’s work, LOST IN PARIS is a wondrously fun and hectic tale of peculiar people finding love while lost in the City of Lights.

In 1925, Percy Fawcett ventured into the Amazon in search of a myth. What he discovered became legendary.

FYI: Next Wednesday begins IFFBoston 2017! On Sunday, 4/30, the club will be seeing Lost in Paris at the Brattle. You should buy tickets in advance from the festival.
