Harold Lloyd in Atlanta
Cool movie weekend in "the city too busy to hate." First, on Saturday, I'll be attending the Harold Lloyd Film Project at the Rialto Center after getting hooked up with some tickets. The screening includes two of Lloyd's films, Safety Last and High and Dizzy. Lloyd's films will be backed by the music of the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra. I may have an extra ticket, so if any of my Atlanta readers want to satisfy a craving for silent film on the big screen, let me know.
In the art house are at least two films I really want to see, including Jessica Yu's In the Realms of the Unreal (IMDB), which I've heard is an absolutely fascinating portrait of artist-novelist-janitor, Henry Darger. I'd also like to try to catch Eytan Fox's Walk on Water (IMDB) if possible. Eros (IMDB), a three-part film directed by Wong Kar-Wai, Steven Soderbergh, and Michealangelo Antonioni also hits Atlanta this weekend. I haven't heard much about this film, but like all of the directors involved with varying degrees of enthusiasm. Has anyone heard anything about Eros? Which of these three films would my cinephile readers most recommend?
Update: The Harold Lloyd ticket has been claimed. I'm still not sure how I managed to score two free tix for this very cool screening, but it should be lots of fun.
