UWM Union Theater presents
A Weekend of Silver Screens

5pm *FREE*
Written on the Wind
(Douglas Sirk, US, 16mm, 99 min., 1956)


In a style of jukebox colors and outrageous symbolism, Douglas Sirk delineates the last days of an oil-baron's dynasty, declining into sterility and death. Dorothy Malone's plays a nymphomaniac and Robert Stack brilliantly characterizes the impotent and alcoholic playboy Kyle Hadley, an Absurdist's tragic hero in a yellow sports car.

7pm *FREE*
Tears of the Black Tiger
(Wisit Sasanatieng, Thailand, in Thai w/ Eng. St., 110 min., 35mm, 2007)
