Zampanò. Physically and emotionally cruel, Zampanò trains Gelsomina as his sidekick. Despite his fits of rage and violence, she retains a child-like optimism. In a small town they encounter The Fool, a high-wire artist who teaches Gelsomina that there might be more to life than her servitude to Zampanò. According to film critic Roger Ebert, “La Strada is the first film that can be called entirely ‘Felliniesque.’”

Fri 9/21 Vincent & Theo (1990) 7:00 pm Directed by Robert Altman, Starring Tim Roth, Paul Rhys, Jip Wijngaarden. In English. 138 minutes. The relationship between Vincent Van Gogh and his more practical brother Theo is at the center of director Robert Altman's film. Van Gogh's works were ignored in his lifetime, despite the best efforts of Theo, a struggling gallery owner. Theo finds himself torn between art and commerce, a conflict deepened by Vincent's increasing emotional neediness. As the situation worsens, the brothers are forced to struggle with depression and madness. Critic Roger Ebert called Vincent & Theo that rare "film that generates the feeling that we are in the presence of a man in the act of creation."

Fri 9/28 Camille Claudel (1988) 7:00 pm Directed by Bruno Nuytten, Starring Isabel Adjani, Gérard Depardieu. In French with subtitles. 158 minutes. Camille Claudel was the elder sister of the poet Paul Claudel, a sculptress of considerable talent and for many years the disciple, collaborator, model and mistress of Rodin. After their break up, Claudel gained greater recognition for her work but became increasingly unbalanced. She was institutionalized by her family for the last thirty years of her life, during which she ceased working. Isabel Adjani was nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award for her portrayal of the tormented artist, and the film received a Best Foreign Language Film nomination.
