Something About Stray Dogs: Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs and a Kurosawa Retrospective at the Metrograph

Members Only Sneak Preview of Isle of Dogs on 3/21, with Six Films by Kurosawa Curated by Wes Anderson, Who Will Appear In-Person! "To people who love movies, Japan immediately conjures up the work of Akira Kurosowa: a cinematic sensei to generations of directors. If Isle of Dogs permits me an opportunity to present a few of the Master’s masterpieces in 35mm (which were on our minds and in our DVD players every day of the creating of this movie), I am grateful for it."  – Wes Anderson Isle of Dogs (Wes Anderson/2018/101 mins/DCP) -  Members Only Sneak Preview In a dystopian Japan, twenty years in the future, all the canine pets of Megasaki City have been rounded-up after an outbreak of Dog-Flu and exiled to a massive garbage dump called Trash Island. A twelve-year old boy named Atari journeys to the crumbling kingdom of garbage in his Junior-Turbo Prop plane to search for his dog Spots. Along the way, he makes the acquaintance of a ragtag ensemble of mutts—and begins to uncover a massive political conspiracy that will shake the city to its core. Exquisitely designed, innovatively scored by composer Alexandre Desplat, and featuring a vast array of voice talents from Anderson’s ever-growing family of collaborators, stop-motion delight Isle of Dogs is a wildly inventive addition to the director’s collection of constructed cinematic worlds. Wednesday, March 21 - 9:30pm** **Introduced by Wes Anderson   Six Films by Akira Kurosawa Stray Dog (1949/122 mins/35mm) A harrowing masterwork of postwar Nipponese noir, Stray Dog has a young Toshiro Mifune as a rookie detective disgraced after having his pistol nabbed on a Tokyo bus, driven into the city’s lower depths in order to seek clues to its recovery, the urgency of his mission increasing as the weapon is implicated in a crime spree, his composure unraveling as he draws closer to a culprit who comes to appear increasingly as a Dostoevskian double. Sustains a stifling summertime atmosphere, while shot through with passages of pure poetry. Wednesday, March 21 - 4:30pm, 7:00pm** **One of the key influences on Isle of Dogs, introduced by Wes Anderson. Drunken Angel (1948/102 mins/35mm) One of the greatest actor-director collaborations in all of cinema began with this film, Kurosawa’s eighth feature and his first to star Toshiro Mifune, the fierce, fiery actor—startlingly handsome, here—who would anchor many of the director’s finest works. Mifune plays a tubercular Yakuza who strikes up an unlikely (and often volatile) sort of kinship with Takashi Shimura’s alcoholic slum doctor. Raw and humane, and perhaps the first of Kurosawa’s fully mature works. Saturday, March 24 - 10:45pm Ikiru (1952/143 mins/35mm) One of Kurosawa’s supreme achievements, Ikiru shows the director at his most compassionate—affirming life through a fearless explora­tion of the approach of death. Takashi Shimura beautifully portrays Kanji Watanabe, an aging bureaucrat with stomach cancer who is impelled to find meaning in his final days. Presented in a radically conceived two-­part structure and shot with a rich, perceptive clarity of vision, Ikiru is a multifaceted look at what it means to be alive. Monday, March 26 - 7:00pm I Live in Fear (1955/103 mins/35mm) Both the final film of this period in which Kurosawa would directly wrestle with the demons of the Second World War and his most literal representation of living in an atomic age, the galvanizing I Live in Fear presents Mifune as an elderly, stubborn businessman so fearful of a nuclear attack that he resolves to move his reluctant family to South America. With this mournful film, the director depicts a society emerging from the shadows but still terrorized by memories of the past and anxieties for the future. Sunday, March 25 - 1:00pm The Bad Sleep Well (1960/151 mins/35mm) A young executive hunts down his father’s killer in Kurosawa’s scathing diagnosis of spiritual malaise in corporatized culture, The Bad Sleep Well. Continuing his legendary collaboration with actor Mifune, Kurosawa combines elements of Hamlet and American film noir to chilling effect in exposing the corrupt boardroom skullduggery of a prosperous-but-poisonous midcentury Japan, where intrigue is every bit as thick as back in Elsinore. Saturday, March 24 - 5:30pm High and Low (1963/143 mins/35mm) Kurosawa’s staggering formal genius is on full display in this tense kidnapping thriller based on an Ed McBain novel and set in contemporary Japan, starring Toshiro Mifune as a rich industrialist thrown into a nerve-shredding situation, first believing his son has been kidnapped, only to discover it was his chauffeur’s child. Enveloping extended set pieces, constant visual invention, geometric precision of framing, and fascinating narrative structure make High & Low a gripping take on the animosity sown by vast economic disparity. Friday, March 23 - 4:00pm, 9:30pm
