I was sad to learn that Donald Sutherland has died. My condolences to his family, friends and fans. He was great in more movies than I can count. I was surprised to see how many people loved Oddball, his character in Kelly's Heroes. In addition to Kelly's Heroes, I threw in posters for Phil Kaufman's remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Bernardo Bertolucci's 1900, Robert Aldrich's The Dirty Dozen and Alan J Pakula's Klute

The San Francisco Arts Commission sponsors the Art on Market Street Program, which has local artists put up a series of works on bus shelters on Market Street.  Iconic City Hall was a 2016 series by Kelli Inouye which depicts movies that have used San Francisco's beautiful City Hall. This one is based on Phil Kaufman's remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci has died.  1900 made a big impression on me.  I liked The Last Emperor, but I have no desire to see it again.

1900 - May 1, 2017

Happy International Workers' Day to all. 

I remember going to see Bernardo Bertolucci's 1900 in the theater.  It seemed strange to see Robert De Niro, Gérard Depardieu and Donald Sutherland in an Italian movie.  The story told of two boys born in 1901,  on the day that Verdi died.  One was the son of the landowner and the other was the son of a peasant.  They grew up friends, but after World War One, the new overseer was a Fascist, who made life terrible for the workers.  He got his after World War Two.  I would like to see it again.
