exhibition Marko Lulic: Modernity in YU
At Anthology Film Archives

Anthology Film Archives

New York, NY
Dirty Weekend is the last of three films Marko Lulic selected to be
shown at Anthology Film Archives this Fall. The November film
Themroc was a stunning success. And Dirty Weekend promises more
absurd, spectacular fun.
The story is about three anarchists Fabrizio, Raul and Silvia who
take an industrialist and his mistress hostage. In exchange for
their hostages they demand a plane and money. While waiting for
their ransom, the anarchists hide out in a villa that belongs to a
retired general. The industrialist reveals himself as a coward, and
is willing to make any compromise to save his life. His mistress
quickly becomes disenchanted by her industrialist lover, and falls
in love with the very charming Fabrizio.
Starring Marcello Mastroianni and Oliver Reed
105 min / color / 1973
A joint French and Italian production
Tickets are $5 for the general public, and free for Anthology and
Storefront members
"Affiliates of terrorist organization Hezbollah
cloned the mobiles of senior executives of Canadian operator Rogers Communications....":
"They were cloning the senior executives repeatedly, because everyone was afraid to cut off Ted Rogers' phone," Hopper told Gefen, in an interview that recognised the cleverness of the social engineering trick. "They were using actually a pretty brilliant psychology. Nobody wants to cut off Ted Rogers' phone or any people that are directly under Ted Rogers, so they took their scanners to our building... Nobody wants to shut off Ted. Even if he is calling Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Kuwait."
Pretty clever.
