BADLANDS

Terrence Malick

  • 94 minutes
  • 1974
  • English
  • June 9 - 11

    BADLANDS announced the arrival of a major talent: Terrence Malick. His impressionistic take on the notorious Charles Starkweather killing spree of the late 1950s uses a serial-killer narrative as a springboard for an oblique teenage romance, lovingly and idiosyncratically enacted by Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek. The film introduced many of the elements that would earn Malick his passionate following: the enigmatic approach to narrative and character, the unusual use of voice-over, the juxtaposition of human violence with natural beauty, the poetic investigation of American dreams and nightmares. This debut has spawned countless imitations, but none have equaled its strange sublimity.

THE SEVENTH SEAL

Ingmar Bergman

  • 97 minutes
  • 1957
  • Swedish with English subtitles
  • June 9 - 11

    Returning exhausted from the Crusades to find medieval Sweden gripped by the Plague, a knight (Max von Sydow) suddenly comes face-to-face with the hooded figure of Death, and challenges him to a game of chess. As the fateful game progresses, and the knight and his squire encounter a gallery of outcasts from a society in despair, Ingmar Bergman mounts a profound inquiry into the nature of faith and the torment of mortality. One of the most influential films of all time, THE SEVENTH SEAL is a stunning allegory of man’s search for meaning and a work of stark visual poetry.

THE HARDER THEY COME

Perry Henzell

  • 103 minutes
  • 1972
  • English
  • June 10 - 11

    Reggae superstar Jimmy Cliff is Ivan, a rural Jamaican musician who journeys to the city of Kingston in search of fame and fortune. Pushed to desperate circumstances by shady record producers and corrupt cops, he finally achieves notoriety—as a murderous outlaw folk hero. Necessity is the mother of invention, and music is one of necessity’s prime agents. Boasting some of the greatest music ever produced in Jamaica, THE HARDER THEY COME still hasn’t lost a drop of its cool, its edge, and is still electric with the feeling of discovery.

BARRY LYNDON

Stanley Kubrick

  • 185 minutes
  • 1975
  • English
  • June 16 - 18

    Stanley Kubrick bent the conventions of the historical drama to his own will in this dazzling vision of a pitiless aristocracy. In picaresque detail, BARRY LYNDON chronicles the adventures of an incorrigible trickster (Ryan O’Neal) whose opportunism takes him from an Irish farm to the battlefields of the Seven Years’ War and the parlors of high society. For the most sumptuously crafted film of his career, Kubrick recreated the decadent surfaces and intricate social codes of the period, evoking the light and texture of eighteenth-century painting with the help of pioneering cinematographic techniques and lavish costume and production design. The result is a masterpiece—a sardonic, devastating portrait of a vanishing world whose opulence conceals the moral vacancy at its heart.

OVER THE EDGE

Jonathan Kaplan

  • 95 minutes
  • 1979
  • English
  • June 17 - 18

    New Granada is a brand new 'planned community', miles from the noise and crime of the big city and a perfect place to raise a family. The only problem is they forgot to build anything for the kids to do. Bored out of their minds and stuck in the middle of nowhere, the teens in the town, led by Carl (Michael Kramer) and Richie (an effortlessly charismatic Matt Dillon in his first film role), do pretty much anything to fill the time, quickly escalating from drugs and sex to petty crime. A rash action by an overzealous local police officer sets in motion a face-off between the frustrated kids and their clueless parents that will lead to explosive, destructive consequences. Armed with a classic '70s rock soundtrack (including Cheap Trick, Ramones and Van Halen), OVER THE EDGE still packs a righteously powerful punch today.

THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC

Carl Theodor Dreyer

  • 95 minutes
  • 1928
  • Silent with musical score and English intertitles
  • June 17 - 18

    Spiritual rapture and institutional hypocrisy come to stark, vivid life in one of the most transcendent masterpieces of the silent era. Chronicling the trial of Joan of Arc in the hours leading up to her execution, Danish master Carl Theodor Dreyer depicts her torment with startling immediacy, employing an array of techniques—expressionistic lighting, interconnected sets, painfully intimate close-ups—to immerse viewers in her subjective experience. Anchoring Dreyer’s audacious formal experimentation is a legendary performance by Renée Falconetti, whose haunted face channels both the agony and the ecstasy of martyrdom.
