THU: "Independent LENS" award winning Miss Navajo,
and FRI: "Creepy Crawly CRONENBERG!" (Dead Ringers)
T H E M I A M I B E A C H C I N E M A T H E Q U E
The on-going film festival where you don't just watch films, you experience them!
512 Española Way at Plaza de España (305) 67-FILMS (673-4567) www.MBCINEMA.com
October’s “Great Director” is Canadian master of the macabre
David Cronenberg. His stylish films (the latest being Eastern Promises) are intense and
intelligent, and not for the prudish or squeamish. Five of his most notorious films have been
chosen for a month of creepy crawly adventures, complemented by the “Creature Feature:
Unexpectedly Eerie Images” photography exhibition by Wendy Doscher-Smith...
OCT 18 THU 8:30pm: Independent LENS 2007-2008
Florida exclusive previews of award winning documentaries

Miss Navajo (Billy Luther/USA/2007)
How many beauty contestants can say
“I competed in a pageant where I butchered a sheep?” Crystal Frazier can.
Follow this introverted, self-proclaimed tomboy as she makes bread, weaves
a rug, sweats her way through a language quiz—and that’s just the first day—
on her quest to be the new MISS NAVAJO. Not just any beauty contest, the
Miss Navajo pageant is all about who can rise to the challenge of becoming
a community leader, and who can help save the Navajo culture and language.
WINNER: The Michael Moore Special Founder’s Prize at Traverse Film Festival
Official Selection: Sundance Film Festival
COMPLIMENTARY screening (donations welcome!)
OCT 19 FRI 8:30pm:
Creepy Crawly CRONENBERG!
Dead Ringers (1988)
With Jeremy Irons, Jeremy Irons, and Geneviève Bujold
“Two bodies. Two minds. One Soul”
Have you ever
wondered just how close twins are? How they are able to convince others
of what they have planned and plotted all along, without people knowing
for sure which one is which? Based on real life identical twin brothers, both
gynecologists, Jeremy Irons plays the double roles with a complexity that is
rarely seen in creepy films, even Cronenberg’s own films, before this one.
One brother is dominant, and the other is basically passive, until the underdog
falls for the newest woman in their lives first, for once...What happens now?
“One of the 25 Most Dangerous films ever made”—Premiere Magazine

Nothing But The Truth (Lionel Goldstein/2007)
FROM THE HORSE’S MOUTH:
ANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ACTING AND SKATING?
“ A camera and the center of attention is on you. And the verbal thing,
and it’s not something you are totally comfortable doing, so it’s kinda
weird to film it, but I’ve talked in front of a camera before, so it’s not
like it’s totally new.”—Reese Forbes
HOW DID YOU REACT WHEN YOU FOUND OUT WHAT THE MOVIE
WAS ABOUT?
“I don’t know what the movie’s about”—Grant Taylor
ASIDE FROM SKATING, WHAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART
OF MAKING A SKATE MOVIE?
“Definitely music, eh? Good skating, of course, that’s the most important
thing. If you have those two elements you’re good”—Weiger Van Wageningen

OCT 26 FRI 8:30pm:
Creepy Crawly CRONENBERG!
Naked Lunch (1991)
With Peter Weller, Judy Davis, Ian Holm, Julian Sands
Based on the novel by William S. Burroughs
“David Cronenberg and William S. Burroughs invite you to lunch”
Paralleling William S.
Burrough’s hallucinatory experiences as he wrote the novel that Naked Lunch
is based on, including the accidental shooting of his wife (which he spent only
13 days in jail for), the resulting film is a psychedelic trip through a drug addict’s
life. From Jack Kerouac to Allen Ginsberg to Paul Bowles references, the
Burroughs autobiographical journey is based on real people in the life of a
real man, believe it or not. Peter Weller as Bill Lee the exterminator finds himself
becoming addicted to his own stuff, and all logic disappears as he imagines
himself as a secret agent being advised by various creatures such as a talking
roach/typewriter. His only means of surviving is to have some sense of control
through his “reports” of the trip, not unlike the author.
WINNER: Canadian Academy Awards (Genie) Best Picture, Best Cinematography
National Society of Film Critics Best Director, Best Screenplay
New York Film Critics Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress

Creepy Crawly CRONENBERG!
Crash (1996) (NC-17 / not suitable for minors. No-one under 17 admitted)
(this is NOT the 2004 Crash by Paul Haggis)
With James Spader, Holly Hunter, Rosanna Arquette, Elias Koteas
“The Most Controversial Film You Will Ever See”
There are people out there
(not you! Or is it you too?) who have weird fetishes and fantasies. Some people’s
sexualities are sometimes attached to unusual subjects. (Does this sound like a
psychologist’s sex-ed class?) Well, meet some people who are overly interested
in car crashes (the actors above who actually survived filming of this fascinating
Cronenberg masterpiece of creepiness, while playing characters kinkier than any
of their other roles). This is not your grandmother’s fetish. The ticket at the world
premiere at the Cannes Film Festival contained a warning to sensitive types
(where it won an unprecedented special prize), and it was rarely seen again,
creeping out most people who saw it. Now is your chance to be a voyeur and
check to see if you are a weirdo too. You have been warned. You weirdo.
WINNER: Cannes Film Festival Special Jury Prize for originality, daring, audacity

Medem (Sex and Lucia).
Comandante (Oliver Stone/2003) Miami Premiere!
Relations
between the USA and Cuba are anything but normal. One of the
United States’ most outspoken and controversial directors interviews
one of the world’s most outspoken and controversial heads of state –
Comandante, Fidel Castro. No prior arrangements were made about
what questions should or should not be discussed and Castro responds
to each of them. Castro talks for the first time about his relationship to
Che Guevara, Kennedy, and Nixon, but he also talks about certain aspects
of his private life. Largely unseen in the USA, this film is a rare insight into
a man who has defied the USA for so long.
Official Selection: Sundance Film Festival, Chicago Int’l Film Festival,
San Francisco Int’l Film Festival
Every DOCUSPAIN film will be followed by an afterparty at Tapas y Tintos,
featuring LIVE Flamenco, complimentary tapas and MAHOU beer for filmgoers!
