The Carolina Classics series of film screenings will continue Tuesday with a showing of Mel Brook... Film Briefs...
The Carolina Classics series of film screenings will continue Tuesday with a showing of Mel Brooks' 1974 comedy classic Young Frankenstein at the Carolina Theatre, 310 S. Greene St.
Inspired by Mary Shelley's classic story, the film stars Gene Wilder as the descendant of Dr. Frankenstein, who inherits the ancestral castle and decides, much as his grandfather did, to create life.
Peter Boyle plays the Monster that he creates, and the film also stars Marty Feldman (as Igor - pronounced "Eyegor"), Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Kenneth Mars and, in a brilliant cameo as the old blind man, Gene Hackman.
The film, which received Academy Award nominations for best original screenplay (by Brooks and Wilder) and best sound, is rated PG for sexual situations, bawdy humor, slapstick violence and profanity.
• Afghanistan: The Lost Truth: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Room 208, adjacent to Brendle Hall. Yassamin Maleknasr's acclaimed documentary depicts her journey across the countryside following the fall of the Taliban. For information, about this screening, e-mail sheltolb@wfu.edu or call 758-5757.
• Osama: 7 p.m. Monday in Scales 102 (Art Wing). Siddiq Barmak's 2003 drama focuses on a mother and daughter whose lives are upended when the Taliban closes the hospital where they both work. The film won three awards at the Cannes Film Festival as well as the Golden Globe award for best foreign film. For information about this screening, e-mail mecumle@wfu.edu or call 758-3758.
