Sospeso joins the Film Society of Lincoln Center
for the world premiere of gifted young French composer
Bruno Mantovani's
new music to
Allan Dwan's
silent masterpiece
East Side, West Side, perhaps the first film of the
"New York realism" aesthetic of Hawks, Kazan, Leone,
Friedkin, and Scorsese.
Clyde Jeavons writes that the film's "vivid contemporary
location shots of New York City’s streets and waterfront
(there’s even a scene involving the collapse of a subway
construction site) linger in the memory... A prime example of
the high quality consistently achieved by American late silent
cinema."
The composer conducts his work in this concert that forms part
of the city-wide Sounds
French Festival. The new work is a commission of the Louvre
Museum
of Paris and of Octobre en Normandie.
Purchase tickets at the Walter
Reade Theatre's website, by phone at 496-3809, or at the box
office (on the north side of West 65th Street, between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, one flight up on the plaza
level).
