ENERO 2002 ACTIVIDADES CULTURALES

Cine y Novela:

In recent years, many films have been created after a novel written by classical writers or contemporary newcomers. Some may say this may be the downfall with regards to creativity on the filmmaker's side but hasn't this always been the case? If so, are the movies based on novels less "cinematographic" compared to the ones based on original scripts? At the Instituto Cervantes, we aim to explore the connections between novels and movies to find out about the nature of such creative marriages. All movies are subtitled in English and will be screened at 5 p.m. at the Salón de Actos, Instituto Cervantes.

JAN 5 Una mujer sin amor ( A woman without love, 1951)
Directed by Luis Buñuel and based on a novel by Guy de Maupassant, this film tells of a woman who after indulging in an affair with a man she truly loves, returns to her young son and husband for good, and loses contact with the man. Her husband is unaware of the affair. Twenty years later, there is news that the man has died and left all of his money to her younger son in the family, which leads us to question this younger son's biological origin...

JAN 12 Yo soy el que tú buscas (I am who you are looking for, 1988)
Based on a story by Gabriel García Marquez and directed by Jaime Chávarri, this film tells of Natalia, a fashion model, who is assaulted by a man one night as she is returning from work. The plot of the story comes as she decides to take revenge, and obsessively searches for the rapist.

JAN 19 Tiempo de Silencio (Time of Silence, 1986)
Based on the novel by Luis Martín Santos and set in an oppressive and urban society of Madrid in the 1950s, this film directed by Vicente Aranda, tells of a young scientist who is involved in a case of abortion.

JAN 26 Últimas tardes con Teresa (Last afternoons with Teresa, 1983)

Fr. Ángel Aparicio, O.P. of the University of Santo Tomás will speak about the collection of rare books currently at the UST and is a priceless legacy of the Dominican priests and missionaries who have worked in the Philippines in the field of education for almost four hundred years. For the purpose of making known the valuable collection of the UST Rare Books and hopefully, that they may be put into maximum use, the idea of a catalogue was conceived. The realization is now on hand with the publication of the first volume of the Catalogue of Rare Books (1492-1600).

January 12 at 1 p.m.
THESIS and OPEN YOUR EYES by Alejandro Amenabar, one of the most promising filmmakers from Spain.
BATTLE ROYALE by Kinji Fukusaku

THESIS (TESIS) is the 1996 Best Picture Goya (Spanish Oscar) winner. It’s a psychological thriller about why many people are fascinated by violence. On the other hand, Hollywood remade OPEN YOUR EYES (ABRE LOS OJOS) - VANILLA SKY, which will be shown here on February 6. This is your chance to find out if both the original and remake are good or poles apart. Penelope Cruz stars in both versions.

The final feature will be BATTLE ROYALE(courtesy of Joey Fernandez) by Kinji Fukusaku. This Japanese film, which was released last year, is about a class that
was randomly picked to be in an unspecified, deserted isle. The mission is only one of the 42 students will survive and it can only be achieved by killing each other. The movie is very violent, defies logic and is filled with black humor (like Stanley Kubrick’s A CLOCKWORK ORANGE).

For further inquiries,you can call TBC (7218677 or 721 7763) or Maxie (0917-2431077 or 8321125 local 2115). Or via e-mail: 1. tbcmedia@csi.com.ph (Jofti)
