22:30 SMASHED (USA, 85')
Dir: James Ponsoldt
The boozy routine of a constantly drunk couple comes
to a screeching halt when Katie decides she wants to
join AA and sober up. But it’s a long and winding road

treacherous than addiction itself. Special Jury Prize at
Sundance.
18:00 SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED
(USA, 85')
Dir: Colin Trevorrow
Some weirdo posts an add requesting a fellow traveller
to go back in time with. He also claims he’s done before.
A young reporter approaches him just to get a story,

not guarantee your safety, but it does guarantee you
won’t be able to stop smiling.

last leg.

WHIT STILLMAN RETROSPECTIVE
20:00 METROPOLITAN (1990, USA, 98')
Dir: Whit Stillman
In a film that influenced Wes Anderson, the UHB (the
Urban Haute Bourgeoisie) frequents debutante balls,
talks in acronyms and claims that “you don't have to
have read a book to have an opinion on it”. A scathing
deconstruction of an entire era in the indie Bible of 90s
that even made it to the Oscars.

Dir: Shôhei Imamura
After she is assaulted by a stranger, a simple-minded
woman is involved in a sadomasochistic relationship

entire life. Brutally erotic mise-en-scène, a documentarylike approach and expressionistic influences make for an
unorthodox portrait of a woman liberated from centuries
of patriarchal oppression

Dir: Whit Stillman
Ted and his cretin cousin Fred are two Americans
spending their nights with beautiful girls they pick up
all over Barcelona. An unfortunate event will provoke a
flurry of anti-American sentiment amongst the locals.
Stillman’s most solid effort to date, captures the cultural
gap between Europe and the US in a film that proves
he’s the missing link between Woody Allen and Wes
Anderson.
