The Flames of Paris belongs neither to the pearls of the pure classics of classical dance nor to the works of the Soviet period, which were subjected to uncalled for attacks at the hands of the powers that be. Though this ballet did not disappear without a trace, the greater part of it has been lost. Produced in the 1930s in Leningrad at what was then the Kirov Theatre and soon transferred to the Bolshoi, it was to become one of Stalin’s favorite choreographies. The Flames of Paris was presented on the eve of the anniversary of the October Revolution, and later continued to be included in the ranks of works that were always brought out for an airing on anniversaries of this sort. This classic ballet has been restored and reinterpreted by the Bolshoi Ballet for this magnificent new production. The film screens on Saturday, December 18 at 3 p.m. and Sunday, December 19 at 1 p.m. Tickets are $15 general admission and $12 for seniors, UM employees, UM alumni, and non-UM students. Free for UM students. For more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com or call 305-284-4861.

Olivier Assayas electrified the Cannes Film Festival with Carlos, his epic and definitive portrait of the notorious international terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal, who masterminded a wave of terror attacks in Europe and the Middle East in the ’70s and ’80s. Venezuelan actor Édgar Ramírez stars in the title role. Co-written by Assayas and Dan Franck, Carlos illustrates the evolution of contemporary terrorism as it examines the life of its title character, a Venezuelan whose real name is Ilich Ramírez Sánchez. Tracing the arc of Carlos’ criminal activities across two decades and several nations, the film features a dynamic cast of international talent and was shot in numerous countries, including Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Lebanon, and Morocco.
