LE TIGRE SPECIAL GUEST DJ: WENDY LEWIS Le Tigre, the latest project from Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna, pumps out thought-provoking punk-pop and brash lo-fi grooves that surge and saunter with wit and wile. Ironically pairing fist-in-the-air feminism and the nostalgic sounds of jettisoned technology (Fisher Price turntables, '80s samplers), Le Tigre (Kathleen Hanna, Johanna Fateman, and JD Samson) proves to be a critical force in the postmodern rock arena. |

IMITATION OF LIFE DIRECTED BY DOUGLAS SIRK Sirk's remake of the original Claudette Colbert vehicle stars Lana Turner as aspiring actress Lora Meredeth, who employs African-American Annie Johnson (Juanita Moore). As her stage career takes off, Meredeth leaves the care of her daughter to her maid, who is raising a daughter of her own. Central to the story is the performance given by Johnson's daughter, Sarah Jane (Susan Kohner), as a fair-skinned woman passing as white, to her mother's disapproval. Meanwhile, the neglected daughter falls into an ill-fated romance with a handsome photographer whom the actress also happens to love. 1959, U.S., color and BW, 16mm, 125 minutes. |
