Double Feature Presentation! STELLA DALLAS (1937, King Vidor, 106 minutes) When Stella Martin (Barbara Stanwyck), a working class woman, meets and marries the wealthy Stephen Dallas (John Boles), they quickly have a daughter named Laurel (Anne Shirley). Stella and Stephen struggle to stay happy as their class differences become a problem; when they finally separate, Laurel is caught in the middle of the divorce. Soon, Lauren becomes the center of Stella's life. Stella tries to be a good mother, but realizes that her daughter can flourish quite well without her. followed by UNDER THE SKIN (2014, Jonathan Glazer, 108 min.) Scarlett Johansson plays an alien who takes human form to prey on men—but ends up finding something like humanity within herself—in this bleak and startling thriller directed by Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast, Birth). With its powerful combination of Johansson’s brave performance, the moody cinematography of Daniel Landin, and the naturalistic (often improvised) dialogue, Under the Skin is a one-of-a-kind science-fiction horror, aided greatly by the unnerving atonal music of Mica Levi’s first score for a feature film. Stella Dallas will screen first, followed by a 15 minute intermission, then Under the Skin.
