Rocco and His Brothers
Film - Feature | October 4 | 7-10 p.m. | Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
BAMPFA
Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
At once lyrical and brutal, this family saga is fatalist film noir expressed through a purity of vision; like the saintly Rocco (Alain Delon) himself, it takes a lot of violence to daunt Viscontis love. Rocco is a character like Dostoyevskys Prince Mishkin, or Robert Bressons Balthazar. He is the anomaly among the five sons of a poor but canny widow (Katina Paxinou) who brings her family from...

The starkly desolate mountains of Kurdish Iran serve as backdrop for Samira Makhmalbafs second feature, which follows a group of itinerant teachers, heavy blackboards on their backs, trudging through the landscape in search of pupils.

Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
One of Bergmans most daring experiments, this bleakly explicit tale of a feuding couple was controversial on its release, but the director said it belongs to my best films. Opening with a rare act of physical violence (Bergmans characters usually prefer to inflict their traumas emotionally), the film tracks backwards along the stab wound that is the protagonists marriage.
