OSU Film Studies Program Presents
The Student Choice Award (SCA)- Alan Weisenberger and Le Samouraï
Tuesday March 6th 4pm
Wexner Center F/V Theater
The goal of the SCA is to provide students the ability to utilize knowledge gained in film studies course work to explore the fields of criticism and film curation. Throughout the process the students involved are asked to take an active role in communicating with Wexner Center programming staff as well as OSU Film Studies faculty to develop a portfolio worthy critical essay geared towards the primary distribution aspect of film text; public presentation.
We cordially invite all OSU students, faculty and the public to a free screening of Le Samourï in the Wexner Center Film/Video Theater at 4pm on Tuesday, March 6th. Alan Weisenberger will introduce the film by reading his winning essay, and the Film Studies Program will present him with a certificate and his cash prize.
Le Samouraï (1967)105min
In a career-defining performance, Alain Delon plays a contract killer with samurai instincts. A razor-sharp cocktail of 1940s American gangster cinema and 1960s French pop culture—with a liberal dose of Japanese lone-warrior mythology—maverick director Jean-Pierre Melville’s masterpiece Le Samouraïdefines cool.
