Learning Beyond the Classics: Film Noir: Influences and InspirationsDirected by Orson WellesWith Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, Orson WellesRated PG-13, 108 minutes, DCPIn English and Spanish with English subtitlesAlthough not well received upon arrival in the United States, Touch of Evil found its footing in European cinemas and, roughly a decade and change later, became highly regarded with critics and audiences back home. Today, it's often cited as one of Orson Welles best pictures despite the tumultuous relationship he had with the studio during filming. Set along the border between Mexico and the United States, the story revolves around an American police captain, Hank Quinlan (Welles), who is investigating a bombing that may have been a set-up. As Quinlan's increasingly unethical methods are uncovered, Mexican narcotics officer Mike Vargas (Charlton Heston) must navigate a tense, morally ambiguous landscape to seek the truth and justice.

The Notre Dame Symphony Orchestra and Glee Club together present a performance of Dmitri Shostakovich's monumental Symphony no. 13, "Babi Yar." Set to Yevgeny Yevtuschenko's epic poetry and premiered in 1962, its exploration of anti-Semitism, totalitarian terror, and resistance remain acutely timely today. Shostakovich's musical moods range from brooding and explosive to brutally ironic and, ultimately, reflectively lyrical. Also on the program will be Tchaikovsky's masterful Violin Concerto, with student soloist Maya Kvaratskhelia.General admission is $15, $5 for students. Tickets are available by calling 574.631.2800 or visiting performingarts.nd.edu.   Originally published at music.nd.edu.

New at the BrowningDirected by François OzonWith Hélène Vincent, Josiane Balasko, Ludivine SagnierNot Rated, 102 minutes, DCPIn French with English subtitlesAfter a tumultuous life in Paris, Michelle (Hélène Vincent) has retired to a quiet existence in Burgundy, tending her garden and attending services at her parish. The voracious hostility of her adult daughter Valérie (Ludivine Sagnier) remains Michelle's great puzzlement: How can a child for whom she sacrificed so much treat her with such contempt and suspicion? When Valérie drops off her son for a week with his grandmother, Michelle sees an opportunity to repair the relationship, but a culinary accident soon undercuts whatever trust remains. With the help of her best friend Marie-Claude (Josiane Balasko), whose son (Pierre Lottin) has recently been released from prison, Michelle plots a path towards restoring the family life so long denied to her. With a deceptively placid surface, master stylist François Ozon cooks up a twisty and destabilizing thriller where family ties remain the most mysterious ingredient of all. GET TICKETS

Professor Pfinklepfunder's $1 Sunday Family FilmsDirected by Ben Sharpsteen, Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton LuskeWith Kathryn Beaumont, Ed Wynn, Sterling HollowayRated G, 75 minutes, Blu-rayLewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Walt Disney had a long history. Disney used a short of the film to help finance his pictures as he got his studio off the ground. A feature adaptation was inevitable, but the pathway there proved winding and long-fitting for a film about Wonderland. After roughly three decades of fits and starts, Alice in Wonderland was released in 1951. It was really upon its re-release in the early 1970s that it cemented itself as not only a Disney classic but a classic American film. The film follows Alice following the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole and into Wonderland, where she encounters a raft of strange characters, some of whom would like to have her head. GET TICKETS
