MMU Crash Course: Takeshi Kitano
MMU Crash Course classes offer a low-intensity way to explore a filmmaker or genre, in a friendly environment shared with fellow film lovers. Unlike our MMU 101 seminars, which include a lecture and class discussion, these Crash Courses offer a more casual approach: Films are curated and presented by staff experts, but there’s no formal lecture or discussion.
This course focuses on Japanese actor and director “Beat” Takeshi Kitano. After 20 years as a comedian and TV host, Beat Takeshi directed his first film, VIOLENT COP, which saw the birth of his violent yet deadpan onscreen presence.
There will be an in-person class, held Tuesdays in December. Masks and proof of vaccination are required.
MMU One Credit: Holiday Neo-Noir
Designed for those who are curious about Movie Madness University but reluctant to commit, our One Credit Classes give you a taste of MMU without having to take the full plunge. These one-night-only classes include a short introduction from our expert instructors, plus a screening and discussion in our state-of-the-art Miniplex with your fellow film fans.
While we can't promote our education titles online, we can tell you that there are so many traditions that come with the holidays—and one of our personal favorites at Movie Madness is holiday-adjacent action movies! Especially when Robert Downey, Jr. and Val Kilmer are involved.
There will be an in-person class on Wednesday, December 22. Masks and proof of vaccination are required.
