Ballets Russes—Through April 20. Little girls still take ballet classes,
ballet companies still exist in major cities, and touring troupes still
bring the ballet to smaller cultural centers, but the art form doesn't
have anywhere near the following it did in the early to mid-20th century,
when two groups bearing the name ''Ballet Russe'' competed for attention
around the world. This documentary tells the dueling companies' complicated
story, starting with the foundation of the Ballets Russes in 1909 by
Sergei Diaghilev, a mad genius with a flair for abstract design and
a drive to push dance beyond its formal limitations, with the help
of modernist classical composers like Igor Stravinsky. Nightly 7:30

A Fistful of Dollars—This film launched the "spaghetti" Western
and catapulted Clint Eastwood to stardom. Based on Akira Kurosawa's
1961 samurai picture Yojimbo, it scored
a resounding success, as did its sequels. The advertising campaign
promoted Eastwood's character—laconic, amoral, dangerous—as
the Man with No Name, and audiences loved the movie's refreshing
new take on the Western. The films had a marked influence on the
Hollywood Western, but their most enduring legacy is Clint Eastwood
himself. A brief talk about the genre of "spaghetti" westerns
will precede the film. $3, seniors $2, ages 6 to 17 $1. 1:30 p.m.
