Accompanied by the Devil Music Ensemble from Boston, the 1929 Silent Kung Fu Film RED HEROINE will be screening at the 4 Star Theatre Friday September 19th at 8:30pm. Episode six of RED HEROINE, the only surviving episode of the 13-part serial, is also one of the few complete and earliest extant silent martial arts films. Made at the height of the martial arts craze in 1920s Shanghai, this lively tale about the rise of a woman warrior features the genre's then characteristic blend of pulp and mystical derring-do.

A rampaging army raids a village and kidnaps a maiden, causing the death of the young woman's grandmother. At the general's lair, the captive maiden faces imminent rape, but is lo and behold rescued by the mysterious Daoist hermit, White Monkey. Three years later, Yun Ko reemerges as a full-fledged warrior, ready to deploy the magic powers learnt from White Monkey to avenge her grandmother's death. The score that the DME has composed pulls from the traditions of Chinese classical and folk music, as well as soundtracks from classic Kung Fu cinema, and is the only modern score made expressly for this film!

Based on the Evelyn Waugh novel, BRIDESHEAD REVISITED spans decades and continents.Matthew Goode (MATCH POINT) stars as lower-class Londoner Charles Ryder, an aspiring artist who is beginning his studies in history at Oxford in the 1920s. A chance encounter with dandyish aristocrat Sebastian Flyte (Ben Whishaw, PERFUME) changes the course of his life. The two embark on a close, intense friendship that is further complicated by the introduction of Sebastian's beautiful sister Julia (Hayley Atwell, CASSANDRA'S DREAM) and his overbearing, extremely religious mother, Lady Marchmain (Emma Thompson).

ROGER EBERT says it is
"[a] good, sound example of the British period drama; mid-range Merchant-Ivory, you could say."

Written and directed by Fatih Skin and won the Best Screenplay Award at 2007 Cannes Film Festival, THE EDGE OF HEAVEN is set in Germany and Turkey as the characters travel betweeh these countries and through their own lives.
Nejat seems disapproving about his widower father Ali's choice of prostitute Yeter for a live-in girlfriend. But he grows fond of her when he discovers she sends money home to Turkey for her daughter's university studies. Yeter's sudden death distances father and son. Nejat travels to Istanbul to search for Yeter's daughter Ayten. Political activist Ayten has fled the Turkish police and is already in Germany. She is befriended by a young woman, Lotte, who invites rebellious Ayten to stay in her home, a gesture not particularly pleasing to her conservative mother Susanne. When Ayten is arrested and her asylum plea is denied, she is deported and imprisoned in Turkey. Lotte travels to Turkey,where she gets caught up in the seemingly hopeless situation of freeing Ayten.

Mick LaSalle @ SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE says,
"The experience of seeing "The Edge of Heaven" is cumulative, sober and profound. By the time it's over, audiences will feel as if they've seen whole other worlds, sides of worlds and worlds within worlds."
