One of the functions of “La Chimera del Oro”, restored and projected in 4K, will have live music. The Argentine film “The Message”, winner of the Jury Prize in Berlin will also be presented
Triple monthly offer during July in Sala Lugones of the San Martín Theater: a brief cycle dedicated to the diva and inventor Hedy Lamarrthe centenary celebration of three American comic cinema classics (one of them with live music) and the premiere of an Argentine film awarded in Berlin, “The message”with Marcelo Subiotto.
From yesterday until Tuesday 29, six famous beautiful and dangerous films are offered backwards. Hedy Lamarr: “The other woman” (The Female Animal, 1958, which becomes its swan song), “The pleasure of revenge” (Fatal woman in a western, 1950), “My favorite spy” (Comedy with Bob Hope dumbfounded by her friend, 1951), “Sanson and Dalila” (The biblical story according to Hollywood, with Victor Mature, 1949), “Dorado fruit” (Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy disturbed by Hedy Lamar and Claudette Colbert, 1940) and, of course, “Ecstasy” (Gustav Macathy, 1933), the film that filmed with pseudonym, where it appears naked and enjoying adultery, a scandal for the time, but told with a lot of art and elegance. She was just 19 years old, and she was married to a banker.
Born Hedwig Eva María Kiesler In Vienna, capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Center for Arts, Science, Psychoanalysis and Social and Sexual Life of the time, this woman as attractive as intelligent was successively model, cheerleader, music, actress, sex-school, librettist, producer, author of tasty memories, wife six times (she escaped from the first husband to go to Paris, where she hooked a contract with Louis B. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s hierarchy, the rest was collecting them between Hollywood and Florida) and in their spare time was also inventor, becoming patent among other things a radio guide system for the torpedoes of the North American Navy during World War II.
That system was applied only many years later, corrected, but its theoretical studies on widened spectrum and frequency jump allow many today to consider it as a pioneer of long-distance wireless communications (although in this the true pioneer of the Wi-Fi is the Italian Enrico Marconi, inventor of the radio)
The big three
From Saturday 5 to Friday 18, Lugones celebrates 100 years of “La Chimera del Oro”, “The 7 Opportunities” and “The rookie”that is, Carlitos Chaplin suffering from cold, hunger, poverty and love until reaching the happy ending, Buster Keaton forced to marry that same day as a condition to inherit a fortune (which is why hundreds of women pursue it) and Harold Lloyd As a young student unable to do in any sport, until, suddenly, something happens. Lloyd It is the least known of the three, and many only register it by “The fly man”where he must climb to a building on the walls, but he was a formidable comedian, of amazing and descosalizing physical resources. It should be taken into account.
Each of these comedies will be exhibited several times, but “The gold chimera” It will also have A special function with live music, on Friday 11 at 21. In charge will be the multi -standardist Eliana Liuni, that has especially composed music for the occasion. In the other functions the soundtrack will be heard timely composed of the own Chaplin (And it would be ideal for the edition that he himself already made in his old age, and where his own voice is heard making the introduction).
Something else: the remastering version in 4K of “The gold chimera”which last May inaugurated the Cannes Classics section of the largest film festival, will be reset in little in more than 70 countries (here and the rest of Latin America, Via Cinetopia). Its restoration was supervised by the Fondazione Cineteca Di Bologna, from original materials provided by the British Film Institute file and other entities, under the supervision of The Association Chaplin (founded by the artist’s children) and the support of the MK2 group.
“The message”
The other novelty of Sala Lugones, tomorrow, just between the diva and the comedians, is the premiere of the Argentine film “The message”winner of the Special Jury Award at the recent Berlin Festival. It could not be less than a silver bear, being that the intrigue of this film is a girl who talks to animals (and the tutors take her from one place to another to do business offering her services as a disease of sick pets). Creation of Iván Fundthe fantasy of parents in duel “Night Stone”the new film has as interpreters Marcelo Subiotto, Mara Bestellithe girl Anika Bootz and Bethany Cappat. In Berlin, criticism spoke of a “fable poetics about communication, trauma and the need to believe (…) elegant, subtle, tender and hopeful.” Functions, only until Wednesday 11.
