Napoleon. Francis Ford Coppola's reworking of
Able Gance's 1927 classic has made it to the River
Oaks Theatre, March 25 through the 31. Gance's
work was quite innovative in its time, and with
rerelease through Coppola's film empire, the new
Napoleon is fine cinema. An original score
composed by Coppola's father, some odd filter
effects, and subtitle frames have added even more
flash to Gance's original. Napoleon shows at 7 p.m.
with matinees on Saturday and Sunday, March 30
and 31 at 3. Tickets are $5.
Poetry in Motion. This experimental film by Ron
Mann features 25 of America's most important
poets as they read, shout, sing, and whisper their
works into life. Beginning with some of the 50s Beat
poets, including Alan Ginsberg, working up to the
contemporary equivalents like Ntozake Shange. The
film is an examination of the particularly American
J*ice professor/poet Shange in Poetry in Motion
genre of poetry-as-performance, and the subject is
aptly showcased by Mann's fine documentary style.
Showing Friday, April 1 at 8 p.m.; Saturday at 3
p.m. in the Museum of Fine Arts Brown
Auditorium.
