DESCRIPTION:With New Yorker critic Richard Brody and film scholar James Har
 vey in conversation. \n\n	Wagon Master \n\n\n	Dir. John Ford. 1950\, 86 mi
 ns. 35mm. With Ben Johnson\, Joanne Dru\, Harry Carey Jr.\, Ward Bond. In 
 honor of the great film scholar Gilberto Perez (1943-2015) and this year's
  publication of his final book The Eloquent Screen: A Rhetoric of Film\, t
 he Museum presents John Ford's still underappreciated western Wagon Master
 . Inspired by the daring Hole in the Rock expedition of 1880\, this low-bu
 dget\, star-less wonder - made in between installments of the John Wayne-l
 ed cavalry trilogy - renders the Mormon journey to the San Juan River in t
 he form of a leisurely folk epic\, complete with musical chorus provided b
 y the Sons of the Pioneers. Described by Perez in his book as 'a communal 
 story\, a film pledged to equality through and through\,' Ford himself des
 ignated Wagon Master the film that 'came closest to what I had hoped to ac
 hieve\,' a meditation on the pluralistic promise and vitality of American 
 democracy. A discussion with New Yorker critic Richard Brody and independe
 nt film Scholar James Harvey will follow the screening. \n	\n	\n	Gilberto 
 Perez&nbsp\;(1943-2015) held the Noble Chair in Art and Cultural History a
 t Sarah Lawrence College and was author of The Material Ghost: Films and T
 heir Medium. He was film critic for The Yale Review and his essays on film
  have been published in The Nation\, The New York Times\, and the London R
 eview of Books.&nbsp\; \n\n\n	\n	Richard Brody is the movies editor for th
 e New Yorker’s Goings On About Town and the author of Everything Is Cinema
 : The Working Life of Jean-Luc Godard.&nbsp\; \n\n\n	\n	James Harvey&nbsp\
 ;is a film critic\, essayist\, playwright\, and author of numerous books o
 n film\, including Watching Them Be: Star Presence on the Screen from Garb
 o to Balthazar and provided the foreword to The Eloquent Screen. \n\n\n	\n
