Film / Arts Saturday Night Cine Club screens The Mill and the Cross
Posted By Matt Brunson on Sat, Nov 17, 2012 at 8:00 AM
It's a concept worthy of Charlie Kaufman: The 16th century Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel not only created the religious piece "The Procession to Cavalry" but also traipsed about inside his own work, refashioning the landscape to 1564 Flanders, holding a conversation with an art collector, and even bumping into the Virgin Mary.
That's the premise of Polish filmmaker Lech Majewski's The Mill and the Cross, starring Rutger Hauer as the artist, Michael York as the collector and Charlotte Rampling as Mary.
$5-$8. Nov. 17, 3 p.m. & 7:30 p.m. Theatre Charlotte, 501 Queens Road. For more information, visit www.charlottefilmsociety.com.

Film / Arts Spirits continue rise at UNC Charlotte
Posted By Anita Overcash on Sat, Nov 10, 2012 at 9:00 AM
Halloween may be over, but the University of North Carolina Charlotte College of Arts + Architecture and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Library's "Spirits Rise: A Ghost Film Series" are helping the supernatural vibes linger. Next up is the 2002 psychological horror thriller The Ring, an adaptation of the Japanese novel by Kōji Suzuki, first filmed (Ringu) by Hideo Nakata in 1998.
In the Americanized take, directed by Gore Verbinski, Naomi Watts stars as a woman investigating a mysterious string of deaths that seem to have resulted from viewing a cursed videotape, followed by receiving an eerie phone call. Though this version of The Ring has been criticized for diverting from its original storyline and lacking substantial characters, it's drenched in special effects that are unavoidably startling, even when you know they're coming. Free admission. Nov. 10, 2 p.m. UNC Charlotte's Center City Building, 320 E. 9th St.
