Fists & Fury The Oscars are past, so now the Cinerama is celebrating . . . violence? Well, not exactly. This festival mostly harkens back to the golden era of kung fu and martial-arts movies, the genre that Seattle-educated Bruce Lee helped make an international sensation during the ‘70s. (Remember to visit the Wing Luke’s ongoing exhibit dedicated to his local years and subsequent film career.) Yet along with chopsocky favorites like Game of Death and Enter the Dragon (the latter at 7:30 p.m. tonight), the series also ventures back to Kurosawa classics Rashomon and Yojimbo, action comedies from the likes of Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow (The Legend of the Drunken Master, Shaolin Soccer, etc.), and the artful, Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, always worth revisiting. Like a Chinese restaurant buffet, this is a spinning sampler of flying fists and feet, numbering 18 titles in all (plus both halves of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill). Also represented are not-so-spry Jet Li and Donnie Yen, both from the last generation of wuxia stars (all those stunts take a toll on the body). Where are the younger roundhouse-kickers like Iko Uwais (The Raid) or Tony Jaa (Ong-bak)? I guess they’ll have to wait for Fists & Fury 2. BRIAN MILLER Cinerama, 2100 Fourth Ave., Seattle, WA 98121 $12 Sunday, March 1, 2015

Metropolis It’s not unusual for a film to be cheered by viewers; it is unusual for a film score to be cheered. One of the most memorable moments in any Degenerate Art Ensemble performance over the years (which is saying something) came during their live accompaniment to Fritz Lang’s 1927 expressionistic sci-fi film, a surreal transformation scene that had the thrilled audience roaring. Composers Haruko Nishimura, Joshua Kohl, Ian Rashkin, Tim Young, Troy Swanson, and Ambrose Nortness contributed to the score, and tonight the DAE is reviving it-with 40 new minutes of music and played by a 17-piece orchestra-15 years after its premiere for 10,000 viewers at Gas Works Park.

Self Absorb In the first minute of Self Absorb, an indie animated web series by Seattle’s Ian Obermuller, a green man wakes up with amnesia in an alien jungle, greeted by two talking cats who have received consciousness transplants. A couple of scenes later, we are treated to jokes about phenomenology, and a purplish old man named Doctor Trellis delivers the amazing line “I’m not a wizard, I’m a metaphysicist.” Developed over the years in his free time, the first two episodes of Obermuller’s series, released on the web in 2010 and 2011, went criminally underrated. Its high production values, deliciously trippy design, and unique fusion of surreal goofiness and serious philosophical contemplation is way better than 99 percent of the junk on TV. Obermuller will debut all four chapters of the recently completed series at the Northwest Film Forum, and if you are a fan of Chad VanGaalen’s melty music videos, the work of Moebius, or Star Trek-style space operas, you are going to devour Self Absorb. Also, the show’s got mothertruckin’ dancing salamanders in it. KELTON SEARS Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave., Seattle, WA 98122 $5 Monday, March 2, 2015, 8pm

Cinema Italian Style 2014 was a quiet past year for new Italian movies; the well-reviewed Human Capital, which arrives here in February, didn’t even make the Oscar short list. So maybe it’s time for a repertory glance back at past peninsular glories with this nine-film series, running most Thursdays through March 19. In addition to proven classics like Luchino Visconti’s 1963 The Leopard, it includes new additions to the canon-notably last year’s Oscar winner, The Great Beauty. Beginning the retrospective tonight is Ossessione, Visconti’s 1943 adaptation of the James M. Cain novel The Postman Always Rings Twice, with its timeless themes of adultery and murder. That noir tale was filmed here in 1946 and ‘81, and there’s even a French take from 1939, but Visconti’s version-his first feature-wasn’t seen for decades in the U.S. because he didn’t clear the copyright. (Whether he had Cain’s verbal permission is another matter.) Only in 1977 did it get a stateside release, when critics noted a far more class-conscious treatment than the 1946 Lana Turner-John Garfield version: neorealism layered atop the noir. And another fun fact: This 35 mm print belongs to Martin Scorsese, that champion of film preservation and Italian cinema.
