Special Film Series
Fanfare's annual "special" film series offers three critically acclaimed and talked-about films.
Il Postino (The Postman), a 1995 nominee for Best Picture, is the humorous and moving
tale of a
simple postman whose eyes are opened to a world of entirely new possibilities when he finds
himself delivering letters to one of the most romantic poets of the twentieth century (Oct. 3).
Phillip Haas' adaption of A.S. Byatt's novella Morpho Eugenia, Angels and
Insects, is a drama of
shimmering beauty and shocking sensuality that uncovers the dark and decadent desires lurking
just beneath the surface of Victorian England's highly structured social order (Oct. 10). Laurence
Fishburne and Kenneth Branagh star in a new adaption of Shakespeare's Othello.
Special films
will be shown at 7 pm at University Cinema, 1006 N. Oak. Free.
