The first regular showing of the semester will be this Saturday (the twenty-second) at 7PM in Barus & Holley 190; this is the room in which we ended up watching Paprika, for those of you who were able to make that. For the rest of you, enter Barus & Holley through the door to the left of the entrance with the wide glass doors that never open (the other entrances will not open) and the room will be on your right.
The showing is 時をかける少女 (The Girl Who Leapt through Time), the first animated adaptation of a popular juvenile novel previously commercialized in, well, every other form imaginable. After an incident in the school laboratory, a girl not quite in high school gains the power to travel through time, and has a lot of fun with it. There’s also something about a bicycle. Runs 100 minutes; winner of the prestigious Mainichi film award, specifically the award previously awarded to Millenium Actress, My Neighbor Totoro, and one of our most popular showings from last year, Memories.
