MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
Continuing this week at the Ross: The
House Of Flying Daggers, Tarnation
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center
presents the newest film from acclaimed Chinese director Zhang Yimou, The
House Of Flying Daggers and Tarnation, a re-imagining
of the documentary from young director Jonathan Caouette.
The House Of Flying Daggers takes
place in 859 A.D., when the Tang Dynasty, one of the most enlightened
empires in Chinese history at its height, is in decline. Unrest is
spreading throughout the land, and many rebel armies are forming
in protest. The largest, and most prestigious, is an underground
alliance called the "House of Flying Daggers" and the movie follows
their clashes with local deputies as the gap between rich and poor
grows. Combining breathtaking cinematography, amazingly choreographed
fight sequences, and a romantic plot that ties the whole piece together, The
House Of Flying Daggers is a visual feast for fans of films
like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Yimou's earlier
film Hero.
Tarnation begins in 2003 as Caouette learns of his mother's
lithium overdose in his native Texas. Faced with the haunting remnants
of his past, including a family legacy of mental illness, abuse,
and neglect, Caouette returns home to aid in his mother's recovery.
Slipping back into the archives of his youth, we watch Caouette grow
up on camera, seeking escape from family trauma through musical theater,
grade-B horror flicks and the forging of his identity through popular
culture. Having documented his life since he was 8 years old, Caouette
weaves together a psychedelic whirlwind of snapshots, Super-8 home
movies, answering machine messages, video diaries, early short films,
snippets of 80s pop culture and dramatic reenactments to create an
epic portrait of an American family torn apart by dysfunction and
reunited through the power of love.
