On November 12, MoMI kicks off its rare Noriaki Tsuchimoto retro with this stunning and explorative adventure in cinematography and docufiction.
Coppola’s directorial vision truly pops in The Cotton Club Encore, painstakingly reconstructed from the director’s found lost negatives and featuring restored sound and image. November 11–12.
Tsuchimoto’s first independently produced film focuses on a captivating Malaysian expatriate student (seeking refuge at Japan’s Chiba University) whose political outspokenness has raised the specter of deportation.
In 1967, Tsuchimoto embarked on a five-month journey from the Soviet port city of Nakhodka (on the coast of the Sea of Japan) to Moscow, documenting life amidst the 50th anniversary of the Russian Revolution.
A remarkably lived-in and focused document of the era of student revolutions that swept Japan and the world toward the end of the 1960s.
On November 13, title designer Dan Perri—the subject of a new exhibition at MoMI—will join us to discuss his work on Scorsese’s dark, savage view of New York. Perri will also appear that day with a screening of the iconic New York adventure The Warriors by Walter Hill.
On November 26, scholar Aaron Gerow will introduce the film, widely regarded as Tsuchimoto’s supreme masterpiece.
Walter Hill’s vividly violentand giddily sensationalist vision of ’70s New York stirred up controversy upon release and endures as a beloved cult classic.
