Fanfare offers movie classics from Italy, France, Spain and Germany. La Historia Oficial (Oct 6), winner of the 1986 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, integrates the uncertainty sweeping Argentina in the early 1980s with one woman s realization of her unknowing complicity in the reign of terror. Nuovo Cinema Paradiso (Oct. 13), also an Oscar nominee, is a celebration of youth, friendship, and the everlasting magic of the movies. Based on Flaubert's masterpiece, Madame Bovary (Oct. 20) is about a beautiful woman whose affairs conflict with mores of conservative 19th century France. Wo die Grunen Ameisen Traumen (Oct. 27) tells of a geologist whose mapping of a desert area threatens to destroy "the place where the green ants dream."
