Independent films
Just a reminder: the latest film by John Sayles, (a drama set in Central
America), plays at 7 p.m. tonight and Saturday at the SUB. Sayles is one
of America's best independent film makers, resolutely outside mainstream
Hollywood. I haven't read a review of this film, but his previous films
(e.g. "Matewan"; "Eight Men Out"; "Lone Star") are far more literate and
intelligent than today's standard fare, and great entertainment as well.
With the demise of the Micro the ASUI's film series has become the sole
source of independent and foreign film showings in this community. I hope
that we can generate enough attendance to keep it from folding too.
