Fri, Jun 23, 2:00; Sat, Jun 24, 11:00 a.m.
Like HOWARDS END, MAURICE is based on an E. M. Forster novel set amid the repressive constrictions of Edwardian England. In an era in which homosexuality is punishable by imprisonment, Cambridge students Maurice Hall (James Wilby) and Clive Durham (Hugh Grant) keep their romance a secret. When Clive renounces his past, marries and moves to his wealthy wife's rural estate, Maurice continues to visit his former love, attracting the attention of the couple's gamekeeper, Alec Scudder (Rupert Graves). As a new forbidden love blossoms, Maurice is faced with heart-wrenching choices. The supporting cast includes Ben Kingsley, Simon Callow, Billie Whitelaw and Denholm Elliott.

PANIQUE

"If I were an architect and I had to build a monument to the cinema," wrote Jean Renoir, "I would place a statue of Julien Duvivier above the entrance." Duvivier made 70 films between 1919 and 1967, many of them landmarks of French cinema. His first postwarWWII project, a noir adaptation of Georges Simenon's "Mr. Hire's Engagement" stars Michel Simon as a reviled voyeur framed for a murder by the girl he adores. Now widely considered the finest Simenon adaptation, but criticized at the time for its bleakness, the longunseen PANIQUE has finally been given the vivid restoration it deserves. (Note courtesy of Rialto Pictures.) DIR/SCR Julien Duvivier; SCR Charles Spaak, from the novel by Georges Simenon; PROD Pierre O'Connell, Jose Bosch. France, 1946, b&w, 91 min.

On a beautiful June weekend in 1967, at the height of the Summer of Love, the Monterey International Pop Festival captured a decade's spirit and ushered in a new era of rock and roll. A high-energy, iconic event in music history, the festival featured a wildly diverse mix of talent that included Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, Simon and Garfunkel, the Mamas and the Papas, the Who, the Byrds and the extraordinary Ravi Shankar. With his characteristic vérité style, D. A. Pennebaker captured it all, immortalizing moments that have become legend: Pete Townshend destroying his guitar, Jimi Hendrix burning his and a career-making performance for Janis Joplin. DIR D. A. Pennebaker; PROD Lou Adler, John Phillips. U.S., 1968, color, 78 min. NOT RATED

HOWARDS END

Merchant Ivory's adaptation of E. M. Forster's classic 1910 novel about British class relations in turmoil won three Academy Awards®, including Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actress (Emma Thompson). It follows the fortunes of the Schlegel sisters (Thompson and Helena Bonham Carter), who become involved with two couples: a wealthy, conservative industrialist (Anthony Hopkins) and his wife (Vanessa Redgrave), and a workingclass man (Samuel West) and his mistress (Nicola Duffet). All connected to the ownership of Howards End, a beloved country home, the families' interwoven fates serve as a metaphor for shifting class distinctions at the dawn of the modern era.

ONE-EYED JACKS The only film directed by Marlon Brando combines classic midcentury Hollywood Western tropes with moody Methodstyle acting, resulting in a brawny, baroque, one-of-a-kind entertainment. A gang of bank robbers splits up after a heist gone wrong in Sonora, Mexico. Years later, one of the former outlaws, Dad Longworth (Karl Malden), is now a sheriff in Monterey, California. One day, a man rides into town who knows about Dad's criminal past: Rio (Brando), recently escaped from prison in Mexico and intent on revenge. The colorful cast includes Katy Jurado; Ben Johnson; Slim Pickens; Elisha Cook, Jr.; and Timothy Carey.
