Coming Soon

Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers
200 years after its opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh works, the National Gallery, London is hosting the UK’s biggest ever Van Gogh exhibition. Van Gogh is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time, but perhaps the most misunderstood. more »
A Real Pain
Mismatched cousins David and Benji reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the odd-couple's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history. more »
Days of Heaven
One of the most beautiful American films ever made. Richard Gere and Brooke Adams star as migrant workers and secret lovers who decide to dupe wealthy farmer Sam Shepard. Heartbreak and tragedy ensue. The breath-stopping ravishment of Terence Malick’s magic-hour shooting schedule is leavened perfectly by the vinegar and innocenc more »
My Night at Maud’s
Nothing like an Éric Rohmer film to remind you of how Mickey Mouse most cinema is when it comes to how people and their relationships actually work. Jean-Louis Trintignant plays a stoic engineer who pines for a woman he sees in church. Or maybe he should pursue the more libertine woman with whom he has a charged overnight encoun more »
Hardcore
Writer/director Paul Schrader’s most underrated film? It’s a crowded field, but his Dantean descent into the ‘70s porn underworld is a contender. George C. Scott’s Calvinist Midwesterner ventures to Los Angeles to find his missing teen daughter with Peter Boyle’s sleazy private eye and Season Hubley’s sexworker as his guides. Th more »
Chess of the Wind
Like nothing else you will see onscreen this year. Made and banned in pre-revolution Iran and unseen again until 2020, Mohammad Reza Aslani’s film rarely leaves the walls of an oppressively opulent house as a family squabbles over an inheritance. Betrayal, murder, and other less tangible dreads rear their heads. Do not miss. -Le more »
Querelle
Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s final film adapts Jean Genet’s novel into a queer seaside fever dream. Brad Davis stars as the titular sailor amid a hotbed of vice, drug dealing, murder, repressed (and flagrant) man love, and everybody sleeping with everybody else, plus the director’s signature theatrical flair and lurid vibe. What’s more »
A Matter of Life and Death
A film romance unlike any other. WWII bomber pilot David Niven falls for radio operator Kim Hunter as his plane goes down in flames. His impossible survival sets off an interplanar incident as life and afterlife wrestle with the power of their love. Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s use of brain-boggling design, practical more »
The Time Masters
The director behind French cult animation classic Fantastic Planet and French comics god Möbius teamed up on an animated film? Vraiment! René Laloux and Jean “Möbius” Giraud did collaborate on this space adventure, in which a team of explorers race to save a child marooned on a hostile planet. Sort of like the trippiest episode more »
Flow

Teaming up with a capybara, a lemur, a bird, and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land, they must rely on trust, courage, and wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet. From th more »
The Letter

William Wyler’s noir benefits from his expert direction, the sweaty tropical sett more »
All We Imagine as Light
In Mumbai, Nurse Prabha's routine is troubled when she receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband. Her younger roommate, Anu, tries in vain to find a spot in the city to be intimate with her boyfriend. more »
Fitzcarraldo
The focused madness of Werner Herzog’s filmmaking obsession found its purest expression in his account of a European (Klaus Kinski) who hatches an elaborate scheme to bring grand opera to the backwaters of the early 20th-century Amazon. All he has to do is drag a steamship over a mountain. Animating feat aside, it remains one of more »
Frozen — KID’S SHOW
True story: Yours truly saw Disney’s quasi-Nordic animated juggernaut in the theater the Saturday afternoon of its opening weekend, and as soon as the end credits rolled, the little girl in the row behind us leapt to her feet to bellow along to “Let It Go”—she already knew the words. Such is the precision-tuned power of Disney. more »
Edward Scissorhands
Tim Burton followed up Batman, his boffo Hollywood breakout, with one of his most Tim Burton-y films ever—a tale of a childlike loner with Tim Burton hair and slashing blades for fingers, played by a rarely better Johnny Depp. All of the director’s quirks and tics work for him here in a harmony he would rarely find again. more »
Die Hard
Die Hard is famous for badass one-liners, but the reason the film remains so watchable is woven deep in the sharp script, credited to Hollywood pros Jeb Stuart and Steven E. de Souza. For one example, there’s a weird throwaway line in the very first scene from a character you never see again. Around 20 minutes in, it pays off. A more »
The Red Shoes
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger not only made their best film here, they set a new standard for cinematic art at the time. Moira Shearer plays the young ballet dancer torn between art (Anton Wallbrook’s imperious impresario) and love (Marius Goring). It’s a masterpiece by any standard, but if you’ve never seen “The Red Sho more »
The Fire Inside
The story of Claressa 'T-Rex' Shields, a boxer from Flint, Michigan who trained to become the first woman in her country's history to win an Olympic gold medal in the sport. more »
Goodfellas
Martin Scorsese made better, more Important films, but he never made any more seductive than Goodfellas. That’s the point—his camera glides over the clothes and clubs and crimes so that it’s impossible to miss what Ray Liotta’s around-the-way kid and Lorraine Bracco’s mob wife see in them, until the whole thing collapses in lies more »
The Third Man
With all due respect to Casablanca, The Third Man makes it look like a soap opera. They’re remarkably similar in many respects—a wartime liminal zone, an attractive woman looking for transit papers, various nationals playing various sides against each other. But Carol Reed’s made a sardonic mystery with a noir-black core, not a more »
Raphael Revealed
More than just a painter, Raphael was one of the most extraordinary artists of the Renaissance but is often misunderstood or mythologised. On the basis of this extraordinary exhibition in Rome, this film allows Raphael, for the first time, to be truly revealed. more »
The Royal Tenenbaums
Wherein Wes Anderson’s movies turned into Wes Anderson Films. Fortunately, the director was able to hire Gene Hackman for a vigorous pre-retirement turn as the Peter Pan patriarch of a New York clan straight out of the pages of yellowed old issues of The New Yorker, which is where Anderson copped it all in the first place. -Lee more »
Sweet Smell of Success
There was once a time when newspaper columnists were powerful and feared hahaha. Burt Lancaster plays the Manhattan scribbler with the juice to make or break. Tony Curtis is the hustling press agent trying to curry favor and not lose his soul in the bargain. They battle it out with Clifford Odets’ zingy dialogue amid James Wong more »
Caliber 9
Italian crime films from the ‘70s tend to overpromise and underdeliver, but not Caliber 9. Icy-eyed Gastone Moschin (The Conformist, The Godfather Part II) plays a hood fresh out of prison for swiping a pile of cash. The cops and his old cronies both want him to cough up his stash. Does he care? What do you think? RIYL tough guy more »
Nickel Boys

Lancelot du Lac

Robert Bresson’s deadpan realism imbues fresh power to this oldest of tales more »
Daughters of Darkness
There’s been an spurt of nerd interest in arty Euro exploitation auteurs like Dario Argento and Walerian Borowcyzk, but props to Belgian dark-horse Harry Kümel for making the greatest nekkid-vampire film ever. Fassbinder diva Delphine Seyrig captivates as a mysterious countess who cozies up to a pair of hot honeymooners at an of more »
The Room Next Door
Ingrid and Martha were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation. more »
Un Flic
Jean-Pierre Melville’s final film distills his work to its essence. Weary cops (led by Alain Delon) chase calculating crooks who pull elaborate heists under gray skies and then take refuge with gorgeous women (Catherine Deneuve). The real-time heist at the center of the film is so elaborate that Melville had to stage part of it more »
Gummo
On one hand, Harmony Korine’s debut feature is an indulgent fever dream that it would be easy to tar as arthouse slumming. On the other, it’s a deep dive into an America that cinema rarely sees or respects. Which is not to say that Korine isn’t trolling a bit here, but Gummo remains an indelible, even poetic screen experience. A more »
Canaletto & The Art of Venice
An journey into the life and art of Venice's famous view-painter, no artist better captures the essence and allure of Venice than Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto. more »
