Tampopo
(1985) Written and directed by Juzo Itami. Ken Watanabe, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Nobuko Miyamoto. (116 min.) DCP. R.
A roving ramen samurai takes a struggling noodle shop under his wing, promising its timid proprietor delicious success. Mixing vignettes about our relationships with food (and sex), this offbeat comedy creates a food odyssey. Introduced by Japanese film expert Linda Ehrlich. “Itami creates a scene that makes noodles in this movie more interesting than sex and violence in many another … This is a very funny movie” (Roger Ebert). A PRI L 1 3
Passport to Pimlico
(1949) Directed by Henry Cornelius. Stanley Holloway, Margaret Rutherford, Hermione Baddeley. (84 min.) DCP.
When a prank unearths a parchment confirming a street in London is territory belonging to the Kingdom of Burgundy, the local residents, stifling under the austerity of postwar rationing, stage a Brexit of their own. A classic Ealing comedy written by the author of The Lavender Hill Mob, it stars a phalanx of cracking character actors. Passport to Pimlico, 1949
“For British cinema, 1949 was an annus mirabilis. It was the year that Ealing Studios … released not one but three comic masterpieces: Kind Hearts and Coronets, Whisky Galore! and Passport to Pimlico” (Empire).

Bend It Like Beckham
(2002) Written and directed by Gurinder Chadha. Parminder Nagra, Keira Knightley, Jonathan Rhys Meyers. (112 min.) PG-13. DVD. Jess challenges her conservative Sikh parents by her cross-cultural romance—with soccer. This coming-of-age story spotlights multicultural London and is filled with wisecracks, bouncy music, indelible characters, and early star-making turns by Keira Knightley, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and Archie Panjabi. “You seldom leave a theater walking on air, much less float all through a movie. But the joyous Bend It Like Beckham never lets you down” (Washington Post). MAY 4
The Love Punch
(2013) Written and directed by Joel Hopkins. Pierce Brosnan, Emma Thompson, Timothy Spall, Celia Imrie. (94 min.) DVD. When a financial shark gobbles the retirement funds of a divorced London couple, they spin a James Bondian caper to recover their money. Barely released in the U.S., this horribly titled film channels screwball comedy and witty ’60s caper films. “Take a deep breath, relax, and go with it, marveling at how Hopkins managed to put together the perfect cast for this stupid—but brilliant—romantic comedy for the art-house crowd” (filmjournal.com). MAY 11
Lost in Paris
(2016) Written, directed by, and starring Fiona Gordon and Dominique Abel, with Emmanuelle Riva. (83 min.) DCP.
A Canadian librarian embarks on a long-dreamed-of trip to Paris to locate her distressed 88-year-old Aunt Martha (French New Wave icon Emmanuelle Riva in her last performance). Thoroughly inspired by Jacques Tati and the great silent clowns, the film is streaked with bright color, rattled by witty sound effects, and splashed with slapstick. “Thank goodness for burlesque duo Abel and Gordon. They are, simply put, the two funniest clowns working in cinema today” (variety.com). 10

SUPPORTING SPONSORS Calvin and Marisa Allen Foundation Anne Allen Cheatham Lizzie Cheatham McNairy and Charlie McNairy Duke Energy Duke Health SiteLink Allen Thomas Jr. The OMAi residency is generously supported by Lee and Libby Buck.
Organized by the North Carolina Museum of Art. This exhibition is made possible, in part, by the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources; the North Carolina Museum of Art Foundation, Inc.; and the William R. Kenan Jr. Endowment for Educational Exhibitions. Research for this exhibition was made possible by Ann and Jim Goodnight/The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Fund for Curatorial and 14 Conservation Research and Travel.
IN THE PERMANENT COLLECTION African Gallery The Museum’s African collection has been relocated to a new gallery in East Building. The gallery is now three times larger, allowing us to display more works—including a masquerade area, a contemporary art section, and a wall highlighting North Carolina collections.
Modern and Contemporary Galleries These West Building galleries have been reinstalled to feature new works and reimagine collection favorites. New thematic groupings include a Black Mountain College gallery and recent gifts and acquisitions of works by Louise Bourgeois, Kehinde Wiley, Yoan Capote, Elias Sime, and many more. Louise Bourgeois, Spiral Woman, 1984, bronze figure and slate disk, (Figure) H. 14 × W. 4 × D. 5 in., Gift of Lucy Daniels
Elias Sime, Tightrope 9 (detail), 2009–14, reclaimed electronic components on panel, 63 × 2361/2 in., Purchased with funds from Mr. and Mrs. N. Richard Miller in memory of Martin B. Rosenthal
