 012-04-01\nEvent Date End: 2012-04-01\n\nDirected by Carmelo Bene. With Ca
 rmelo Bene\, Lydia Mancinelli\, Anita Masini\nItaly 1968\, 35mm\, color\, 
 124 min. Italian with English subtitles\nBene's first feature film is an a
 daptation of his novel of the same name\, published in 1966 and subsequent
 ly transferred to the stage. Bene himself compared the book to Huysmans' &
 Agrave\; rebours\, which catalogues the manias of a decadent aesthete. In 
 Bene's case\, the protagonist's obsessions are obscurely derived from the 
 invasion of the southern coastal town of Otranto by Turkish forces. The ch
 aracter (or perhaps characters) played by Bene is haunted by visitations f
 rom Saint Margaret\, to which he reacts\, variously\, with panic\, ardor a
 nd erotic attraction. In keeping with Bene's aesthetic of interruption and
  amputation\, dramatic action and narrative threads are waylaid and eventu
 ally dropped. The film is a savage send-up of the weight of history and th
 e ridiculous importance of the self.\n\nStart time: 7pm
