Framing Pictures is due for its August outing this coming Friday, Aug. 17, 5 p.m. at Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave.
Horton, Jameson, and Murphy expect to say something about Robert Bresson's 1977 film The Devil, Probably, which begins a week's run that day at NWFF, and also about Bresson's unique standing in world cinema.
The recently announced results of Sight & Sound magazine's once-per-decade poll to determine the All-Time Ten (or is it 50?) Best Films should also get the house rocking—and audience input is encouraged even more than usual. In case you hadn't heard, Citizen Kane was bumped from its half-century-long place at the top of the pile—and by a movie deemed a flop at the time of release in 1958, Hitchcock's Vertigo.
In addition, some of the panelists' recent encounters with a couple of most unusual Westerns, Andre de Toth's Ramrod and Otto Preminger's River of No Return, cue some thoughts on the nature of "action" in "action movies."
Plus ... who knows? Talk is cheap, which is to say admission is gratis. Beer and wine can be bought.
And yes, The Seattle Channel framing of July's session begins a staggered run the night before, Thursday, Aug. 16, at 8:30 p.m.
