Film Club: How Music Ate the Movie
Summer Semester 2008
How Music Ate the Movie! Fortnightly on Thursdays at 6.15 p.m. in room F022 (Unitobler)
This semester's Film Club is organised by Sandro Ilg and Alex Siegrist.
The hills are alive...
...with the sound of musical films!
Let's sing, let's dance. In this selection of musical films it's all about the passion of melodies. Get frightend by a phantom, relax by watching a cabaret or watch Julie Newmar fall in love!
So if you ever feel like a little musical excitement on a loonely Thursday afternoon, just come by, sit back and be enchanted by the sound of music.
So long,
Alex and Sandro

February 28
Phantom Of The Paradise
Horror, thriller and musical film from 1974, a loosely adapted mixture of Phantom of the Opera, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Picture of Dorian Gray and Faust.- "He sold his soul for rock and roll!"
March 13
Sound Of Music
"The hills are alive with the sound of music...", Julie Andrews as the seven von Trapp children's gouvernante in this 1955 musical. Very cheesy!
March 20
Cry Baby
Johnny Depp as (singing!) 1950s teen idol Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker in this parodic musical film. Is there more to say?

Cabaret
The 1972 musical film starring Liza Minelli is set in Berlin during the Weimar Republic in 1931 prior to the coming to power of the Nazis.
May 8
Wizard of Oz
"Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore..." Based on L. Frank Baum's children's book, this 1939 fantasy musical starring Judy Garland is a true classic.
May 22
Hairspray
Fighting prejudice and racism while singing and dancing through 1962s Baltimore (with your hairdo tightly secured by tons of hairspray) and John Travolta as a transvestite!
