Afterhours at the Art Gallery of NSW: Tokyo Story

May 12th 2008 00:58

The Art Gallery of NSW is fighting against Wednesday night television by opening the museum up to film, music and art. It's called Art After Hours, and it's a fantastic series of events that make you realize that this is why we choose to live in the city, with the traffic, the pollution and the wretched hive of villainy.

To be honest, I'm furious with myself. I've known about this for years and never bothered to go. Wednesday nights are tough - you've in the middle of the week and it's a good night to relax before gearing up for the weekend.

I'm disappointed because last month, they screened Woody Allen's "Zeling", the Hindi classic "Jalsaghar", Sidney Lumet's "Network" and Meryl Streep in "Postcards from the Edge". How could I miss that fantastic lineup of classics?

Well, I'll have to redouble my efforts - next month is a retrospective on Yasujiro Ozu, the Japanese master, and on the 21st, they'll screen "Tokyo Story".

Please, you must go. I'll be at a preview screening for a big blockbuster, but I think I'd rather hit the tatami view. Would someone go and check it out for me?
