“Good Morning.” Sept. 14. A lighthearted take on Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu’s perennial theme of the challenges of intergenerational relationships, “Good Morning” (1959) tells the story of two young boys who stop speaking in protest after their parents refuse to buy a television set.
“Mirror.” Sept. 21. This 1975 Russian drama directed by Andrei Tarkovsky is loosely autobiographical and unconventionally structured. Unfolding around memories recalled by a dying poet of key moments in his life and in Soviet culture, the film combines contemporary scenes with childhood memories, dreams and newsreel footage, with cinematography slipping between color, black and white, and sepia.
“The Spirit of the Beehive.” Sept. 28. This 1973 Spanish drama focusing on a young girl and her fascination with the 1931 film “Frankenstein” is considered to be a cinematic masterpiece and is said to have influenced contemporary director Guillermo del Toro on films such as “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “The Devil’s Backbone.”
