Bad Education (Pedro Almodóvar, 2004, 106 mins)
A metafictional murder mystery staring an enigmatic Gael García Bernal, BAD EDUCATION “throws you a first-love sucker punch that will stagger your heart, mind, and soul” (Logan Hill). Lisa Kennedy called this dark drama “Almodóvar’s most fiendishly crafted, emotionally complicated film.” In Spanish with English subtitles.
Presented in 35mm by the Yale Film Archive with support from Paul L. Joskow ’70 M.Phil., ’72 Ph.D.
Pariah (Dee Rees, 2011, 86 mins)
A Brooklyn teenager comes out and comes of age in the debut feature film from writer/director Dee Rees. Lou Lumenick called the Sundance hit “a look at the joy, confusion, and heartbreak of adolescence that’s both culture- and locale-specific and, at the same time, universal.” Adepero Oduye gives what Stephen Holden called “an incandescent performance” in the lead role.

Losing Ground (Kathleen Collins, 1982, 86 mins)
Preservation premiere! An academic and an artist leave New York for a summer in the country, where their relationship is tested by professional rivalry and romantic jealousy. “Defined by a nimble élan and piercing wit,” remarked Melissa Anderson, “Collins’s movie ranks as one of the best about a marriage between two ambitious members of the creative class.” Restored by the Yale Film Archive and The Film Foundation. Funding provided by the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation.
Yi Yi: A One and a Two… (Edward Yang, 2000, 173 mins)
Edward Yang’s final film—and his masterpiece—deftly details the heartbreak and humor faced by three generations of a middle-class family in Taipei. The exquisitely orchestrated ensemble drama won Yang the Best Director prize at Cannes, and led Roger Ebert to remark, “Only rarely is a film this observant and tender about the ups and downs of daily existence.” In Mandarin with English subtitles.

Mississippi Masala (Mira Nair, 1991, 118 mins)
Romance blooms for Denzel Washington and Sarita Choudhury in this culture-clash tale set around a delta motel, home to a family of Indian-Ugandan émigrés. Roshan Seth, Sharmila Tagore, and Charles S. Dutton give impeccable supporting performances in this “smart, appealing movie about displaced people and severed memories” (David Ansen).

Brazil at 100 / 200 will explore how memory and culture shape the meaning of independence today. By integrating a reflection on the twin centenaries of independence and the São Paulo Modern Art Week, this conference will reflect on the meaning of independence in the light of ideas about Brazilian identity that inspired the modernists one hundred years ago and continue to provoke us today.
This will be a hybrid conference via Zoom as well as with in-person components at Yale University and at the Braudel Institute in São Paulo.
