Paul Schrader in Cambridge

One of the most brilliant and bleakest minds in movies is coming to the Harvard Film Archive. Paul Schrader wrote "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull" for Martin Scorsese and wrote and directed "American Gigolo" and "Mishima: A Life In Four Chapters" (right). He'll appear twice at the HFA's "The Style of Loneliness - A Paul Schrader Retrospective," beginning Friday night. Schrader will be at screenings of "Mishima" on Friday night and "Light Sleeper" on Saturday night, presumbly for a chat with the audience. Tix are $10 for those screenings, and several other Schrader films will screen over the weekend. HFA doesn't do advance ticketing. Click the link above for more info.
