Criterion Channel films for November 2024

The Criterion Channel has so many good movies. Finding them can be difficult though. Their listing of All Films does not include a description. Each film has to be clicked to read the description, then a click to read more, and a click back to return to the list. This is not practical. I made this web page to more easily find films I would like to watch. If you would like to email me with any questions or comments my address is cchannel@sent.com. I am not affiliated with Criterion or their channel except as a fan and subscriber.

	2 or 3 Things I Know About Her Directed by Jean-Luc Godard Starring Marina Vlady, Anny Duperey, Joseph Gerhard 1967 France Duration: 1:27:24	In 2 OR 3 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER (2 OU 3 CHOSES QUE JE SAIS D’ELLE), Jean-Luc Godard beckons us ever closer, whispering in our ears as narrator. About what? Money, sex, fashion, the city, love, language, war: in a word, everything. Among the legendary French filmmaker’s finest achievements, the film takes as its ostensible subject the daily life of Juliette Janson (Marina Vlady), a housewife from the Paris suburbs who prostitutes herself for extra money. Yet this is only a template for Godard to spin off into provocative philosophical tangents and gorgeous images. 2 OR 3 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER is perhaps Godard’s most revelatory look at consumer culture, shot in ravishing widescreen color by Raoul Coutard.
	Les 3 boutons Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Jasmine Thiré, Michel Jeannès, Jacky Patin 2015 France Duration: 11:35	A billowing pink dress launches a stouthearted teenage girl on a time- and space-collapsing odyssey from her humble goat farm to the big city and beyond in this playfully meandering feminist fantasia from Agnès Varda. Commissioned by Italian high-fashion house Miu Miu and shot in part on Varda’s beloved Parisian home street, rue Daguerre, LES 3 BOUTONS slyly juxtaposes the ancient and the modern, the pastoral and the urban, the real and the imaginary to create a fairy tale rooted not in passive wish fulfillment but in spirited self-empowerment.

Told in three vignettes, 5 CENTIMETERS PER SECOND explores the joys and heartache of falling in love using the breathtaking visuals that define Shinkai’s work.

They stay in touch, but eventually drift apart with school and new friends to distract them. As the seasons pass, Takaki navigates his relationships while haunted by all the things he left unsaid with Akari, his first love.
	The VI Olympic Winter Games, Oslo 1952 Directed by Tankred Ibsen 1952 Norway Duration: 1:43:54	Director Tancred Ibsen's penchant for depicting rustic life shines through in the bucolic scenes at the start of THE VI OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES, OSLO 1952. In addition to the exciting scenes of competition (Winter sports are followed with almost rabid fervor in Scandinavia), Ibsen records a sense of community spirit shared among the competitors.
	7 p., cuis., s. de b. . . . (à saisir) Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Louis Bec, Colette Bonnet, Yolande Moreau 1984 France Duration: 28:37	An ensemble performs a bizarre parody of domesticity at an abandoned Avignon hospice center in this richly surrealist experimental work.
	8½ Directed by Federico Fellini Starring Marcello Mastroianni, Bruno Agostini, Sandra Milo 1963 Italy Duration: 2:19:35	Marcello Mastroianni plays Guido Anselmi, a director whose new project is collapsing around him, along with his life. One of the greatest films about film ever made, Federico Fellini’s 8½ (Otto e mezzo) turns one man’s artistic crisis into a grand epic of the cinema. An early working title for 8½ was THE BEAUTIFUL CONFUSION, and Fellini’s masterpiece is exactly that: a shimmering dream, a circus, and a magic act.
	The IX Olympiad at Amsterdam Directed by 1928 Netherlands Duration: 4:11:16	Made by Istituto Luce, the Italian film company controlled by Benito Mussolini since 1925, THE IX OLYMPIAD IN AMSTERDAM may, understandably, highlight Italian participants, but it is the first Olympic documentary that describes the techniques of certain events with useful particulars.
	IX Olympic Winter Games, Innsbruck 1964 Directed by Theo Hörmann 1964 Austria Duration: 1:30:19	Joy and good humor pervades Theo Hörmann's documentary record of the 1964 Games in Austria. Shot in Agfacolor, it nurtures a folkloric image of Tyrol, with its quaint mountain farms and obligatory yodeling. Hörmann deploys shots from a helicopter to present the landscape of Tyrol but also to show the skills of the athletes.
	11’09”01—September 11 Directed by Mira Nair 2002 United States Duration: 12:16	Based on events surrounding the September 11, 2001, disappearance of Salman Hamdani, a young Pakistani American man from Queens, this film portrays his mother’s struggle with terrorist allegations, her own fears, and her son’s fate that day.
	12 Angry Men Directed by William Friedkin Starring James Gandolfini, Jack Lemmon, George C. Scott 1997 United States Duration: 1:57:18	William Friedkin’s remake of the 1957 Sidney Lumet/Henry Fonda classic brings together a powerhouse ensemble cast that includes Jack Lemmon, George C. Scott, Ossie Davis, Edward James Olmos, and James Gandolfini for a riveting update of this timeless tale of justice and dissent. In a sweltering New York City courthouse, the members of a twelve-man jury convene to decide the fate of a young Latino man accused of murdering his father. While nearly all are convinced of his guilt, one holdout (Lemmon) takes a stand that forces them all to reexamine both the case and themselves.
	12 Angry Men Directed by Sidney Lumet 1957 United States Duration: 1:36:19	12 ANGRY MEN, by Sidney Lumet, may be the most radical courtroom drama in cinema history. A behind-closed-doors look at the American legal system that is as riveting as it is spare, this iconic adaptation of Reginald Rose’s teleplay stars Henry Fonda as the dissenting member on a jury of white men ready to pass judgment on a Puerto Rican teenager charged with murdering his father. The result is a saga of epic proportions that plays out over a tense afternoon in one sweltering room. Lumet’s electrifying snapshot of 1950s America on the verge of change is one of the great feature film debuts.
	13 Days in France Directed by Claude Lelouch and François Reichenbach 1968 France Duration: 1:52:20	13 DAYS IN FRANCE, a personal project for French filmmaker Claude Lelouch, approaches the X Olympic Winter Games in a radical way, ignoring certain disciplines and dwelling on others. This impressionistic kaleidoscope of a movie manages to be both freewheeling and intimate. Under the direction of Lelouch and François Reichenbach, 13 DAYS IN FRANCE pulses with the insouciant spirit of the sixties and the carefree cinematography and editing pioneered by the French New Wave.
	XIVth Olympiad: The Glory of Sport Directed by Castleton Knight 1948 United Kingdom Duration: 2:18:43	The official film of the Games of the XIV Olympiad London 1948 is the first in color and seeks to comprise both the winter and summer events from that year. The coverage of the sports cannot be faulted, as cinematographer Stanley Sayer marshaled his team of cameramen with a keen eye and deft precision.
	16 Days of Glory Directed by Bud Greenspan 1986 United States Duration: 4:44:42	Director Bud Greenspan, whose career covering sporting events had begun some twenty years earlier, seized the opportunity to helm the official film of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics with such gusto that he would become the IOC's go-to person for Olympic movies. And this 284-minute record of the 1984 Games set the tone for his nine Olympic films to come. 16 DAYS OF GLORY is audacious and fresh and springs from a fascination with the energy and ambition that drive the finest athletes.
	21 Days Directed by Basil Dean 1940 United Kingdom Duration: 1:15:14	Larry accidentally kills Wanda's husband and as a result their love is now unencumbered, except that a man has been falsely accused of the crime. Larry has 21 days to act before that man goes to the gallows, but will he?
	24 Frames Directed by Abbas Kiarostami 2017 Iran Duration: 1:53:56	For what would prove to be his final film, Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami gave himself a challenge: to create a dialogue between his work as a filmmaker and his work as a photographer, bridging the two art forms to which he had dedicated his life. Setting out to reconstruct the moments immediately before and after a photograph is taken, Kiarostami selected twenty-four still images—most of them stark landscapes inhabited only by foraging birds and other wildlife—and digitally animated each one into its own subtly evolving four-and-a-half-minute vignette, creating a series of poignant studies in movement, perception, and time. A sustained meditation on the process of image making, 24 FRAMES is a graceful and elegiac farewell from one of the giants of world cinema.
	24 Frames per Second Directed by Shirley Clarke 1977 United States Duration: 02:57	This short film was commissioned by the Los Angeles Museum of Art to complement an exhibit on Persian art. Focused on the beauty within textiles, 24 FRAMES PER SECOND illustrates director Shirley Clarke’s eye for detail.
	24 Hours in the Life of a Clown Directed by Jean-Pierre Melville 1946 France Duration: 18:46	Jean-Pierre Melville's first directorial effort was this 1946 short film about a clown and his partner, who find inspiration one day in the streets for their performance in the circus that night.
	32 Sounds Directed by Sam Green 2023 United States Duration: 1:36:52	This immersive sensory odyssey from Academy Award–nominated documentarian Sam Green (THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND) explores the elemental phenomenon of sound by weaving together thirty-two specific auditory explorations into a meditation on the power of sound to bend time, cross borders, and profoundly shape our perception of the world around us. Featuring original music by JD Samson (Le Tigre, MEN), 32 SOUNDS takes the audience on a journey through time and space, exploring everything from forgotten childhood memories to the soundtrack of resistance to subaquatic symphonies, and inviting us to experience anew the astonishing sounds of everyday life.
	36 fillette Directed by Catherine Breillat Starring Delphine Zentout, Étienne Chicot, Jean-Pierre Léaud 1988 France Duration: 1:28:22	After a nine-year absence from the director’s chair, Catherine Breillat returned with 36 FILLETTE, having lost none of her power to push both boundaries and buttons. Delphine Zentout plays Lili, a precocious fourteen-year-old girl on a seaside family vacation. Drawn to a bitter middle-aged man (Étienne Chicot), Lili longs to lose her virginity and initiates a contest of wills in which she discovers herself more mature than, but still rattled by the equivocations of, her chauvinistic counterpart. Fueled by an extraordinary performance by then-sixteen-year-old Zentout, and featuring a scene-stealing Jean-Pierre Léaud as Lili’s brief confidant, 36 FILLETTE showcases Breillat as an incisive chronicler of the subtle evolutions of teenage desire.
	38 Directed by Micaela Durand and Daniel Chew Starring Curie Choi, Alicia Novella Vasquez 2021 United States Duration: 22:50	Vivid interruptions of sound and images fragment the psychic landscape of a thirty-eight-year-old woman who becomes obsessed with the social-media presence of the young woman who broke up her relationship. The latest entry in Daniel Chew and Micaela Durand’s ongoing examination of the embodied experience of our hybrid online-IRL existence, 38 mines contemporary life’s nuanced exchanges between longing and looking, voyeurism and the desire to be seen.
	The 39 Steps Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Starring Robert Donat, Madeline Carroll, Lucie Mannheim 1935 United Kingdom Duration: 1:27:06	A heart-racing spy story by Alfred Hitchcock, THE 39 STEPS follows Richard Hannay (Robert Donat) as he stumbles upon a conspiracy that thrusts him into a hectic chase across the Scottish moors—a chase in which he is both the pursuer and the pursued—as well as into an unexpected romance with the cool Pamela (Madeline Carroll). Adapted from a novel by John Buchan, this classic wrong-man thriller from the Master of Suspense anticipates the director’s most famous works (especially NORTH BY NORTHWEST), and remains one of his cleverest and most entertaining films.
	45 Years Directed by Andrew Haigh Starring Charlotte Rampling, Tom Courtenay 2015 United Kingdom Duration: 1:35:40	In this exquisitely calibrated film, Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay perform a subtly off-kilter pas de deux as Kate and Geoff, an English couple who, on the eve of an anniversary celebration, find their long marriage shaken by the arrival of a letter to Geoff that unceremoniously collapses his past into their shared present. Director Andrew Haigh carries the tradition of British realist cinema to artful new heights in 45 YEARS, weaving the momentous into the mundane as the pair go about their daily lives, while the evocatively flat, wintry Norfolk landscape frames their struggle to maintain an increasingly untenable status quo. Loosely adapting a short story by David Constantine, Haigh shifts the focus from the slightly erratic Geoff to Kate, eliciting a remarkable, nuanced portrayal by Rampling of a woman’s gradual metamorphosis from unflappable wife to woman undone.
	THE 47 RONIN: Part 1 Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi 1941 Japan Duration: 1:52:04	47 samurai avenge the death of their lord in Kenji Mizoguchi's take on the famous historical event.

	49th Parallel Directed by Michael Powell Starring Laurence Olivier, Raymond Massey, Anton Walbrook 1941 United Kingdom Duration: 2:02:09	At once a compelling piece of anti-isolationist propaganda and a quick-witted wartime thriller, 49TH PARALLEL is a classic early work from the inimitable British filmmaking team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. When a Nazi U-boat crew, headed by the ruthless Eric Portman, is stranded in Canada during the thick of World War II, the men evade capture by hiding out in a series of rural communities, before trying to cross the border into the still-neutral United States. Both soul-stirring and delightfully entertaining, 49TH PARALLEL features a colorful cast of characters played by larger-than-life actors Laurence Olivier, Raymond Massey, Anton Walbrook, and Leslie Howard.
	71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance Directed by Michael Haneke Starring Gabriel Cosmin Urdes, Lukas Miko, Otto Grümandl 1994 Germany Duration: 1:39:26	The simultaneously random and interconnected nature of modern existence comes into harrowing focus in the despairing final installment of Michael Haneke’s trilogy. Seventy-one intricate, puzzlelike scenes survey the routines of a handful of seemingly unrelated people—including an undocumented Romanian boy living on the streets of Vienna, a couple who are desperate to adopt a child, and a college student on the edge—whose stories collide in a devastating encounter at a bank. The omnipresent drone of television news broadcasts in 71 FRAGMENTS OF A CHRONOLOGY OF CHANCE underscores Haneke’s vision of a numb, dehumanizing world in which emotional estrangement can be punctured only by the shock of sudden violence.
	100 Boyfriends Mixtape Directed by Brontez Purnell 2016 United States Duration: 08:38	In Brontez Purnell’s “video mixtape,” unlikely antihero DeShawn—an HIV-positive Black gay man haunted by the ghosts of 100 men—relates his philosophy of the world to an unknown caller on his landline while magically shrink-fitting a new pair of recently shoplifted jeans.
	The 400 Blows Directed by François Truffaut Starring Jean-Pierre Léaud, Claire Maurier, Albert Rémy 1959 France Duration: 1:40:00	Directed by François Truffaut • 1959 • France Starring Jean-Pierre Léaud, Claire Maurier, Albert Rémy François Truffaut’s first feature is also his most personal. Told through the eyes of Truffaut’s cinematic counterpart, Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud), THE 400 BLOWS sensitively re-creates the trials of Truffaut’s own childhood, unsentimentally portraying aloof parents, oppressive teachers, and petty crime. The film marked Truffaut’s passage from leading critic to trailblazing auteur of the French New Wave.
	Abbas Kiarostami: Truths and Dreams Directed by Jean-Pierre Limosin Starring Abbas Kiarostami 1994 France Duration: 52:36	This documentary by Jean-Pierre Limosin was broadcast as the November 28, 1994, episode of the French television show “Cinéma, de notre temps.” Featuring footage of Abbas Kiarostami returning to the Koker region, it chronicles the director's career to that point, including development of THE KOKER TRILOGY.
	ABC Africa Directed by Abbas Kiarostami Starring Abbas Kiarostami, Seifollah Samadian 2001 Iran Duration: 1:27:32	In 2000, Abbas Kiarostami traveled to Africa at the request of the United Nations to document a humanitarian crisis unfolding in Uganda, where 1.5 million children had been orphaned by civil war and AIDS. Working outside of Iran and shooting on digital video for the first time, he returned with this disarmingly hopeful look at a country where death hovers ever-present, yet life—embodied by the playful spirit of the kids who peer curiously into his camera’s searching, humane lens—flows on undiminished. Part idiosyncratic travelogue, part ode to childhood wonder, ABC AFRICA is quintessential Kiarostami in its movingly philosophical reflection on human resilience in the face of adversity.
	Abigail’s Party Directed by Mike Leigh Starring Alison Steadman, Tim Stern, Janine Duvitski 1977 United Kingdom Duration: 1:46:40	Mike Leigh’s filmed version of his acclaimed stage play is a brilliantly biting comedy of manners that lays bare the bourgeois affectations and sexual frustrations of a young suburban couple. Abigail’s mother, Sue (Harriet Reynolds), is invited to take refuge from her teenage daughter’s party by a neighboring couple, Beverly (Alison Steadman) and Laurence (Tim Stern). They have also invited Angela (Janine Duvitski) and Tony (John Salthouse), new arrivals on the street. As Beverly plies her guests with alcohol, Sue becomes increasingly withdrawn and embarrassed by the pretentious goings-on—with marital tensions gradually revealing the cracks in the delusional facade.
	About Dry Grasses Directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan Starring Deniz Celiloğlu, Merve Dizdar, Musab Ekici 2023 Turkey Duration: 3:18:14	Nestled away in wintry East Anatolia, public-school art teacher Samet (Deniz Celiloğlu) yearns to leave the sleepy village for cosmopolitan Istanbul. Further disenchanted when he and Kenan (Musab Ekici), a colleague, come under public scrutiny, Samet fears circumstances will keep him in Anatolia and his dreams of a new life permanently out of reach. A silver lining is a budding relationship with Nuray (Merve Dizdar), a fellow teacher and firebrand who develops connections with both Samet and Kenan, forcing Samet to confront what he can't readily accept. Renowned for his nuanced, visually ravishing imagery, award-winning director Nuri Bilge Ceylan (ONCE UPON A TIME IN ANATOLIA, WINTER SLEEP) capstones the film with one of his greatest sequences, a dazzling metacinematic climax featuring an entrancing performance from Dizdar, who took home Best Actress at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. “Ceylan [is] the living reigning master of Turkish cinema.” —Alissa Wilkinson, The New York Times (Critic’s Pick) “Epic . . . Absorbing . . . One of the year’s most visually and intellectually immersive films . . .

	About Tap Directed by George T. Nierenberg 1985 United States Duration: 28:16	George T. Nierenberg’s brilliant and blissful followup to NO MAPS ON MY TAPS is introduced by legendary dancer Gregory Hines, who shares his childhood memories of watching and imitating the tap-dance greats at the Apollo Theater. ABOUT TAP features performances by and recollections from three of America’s leading male tap dancers: Steve Condos, Jimmy Slyde, and Chuck Green. Condos thinks of himself as an instrumentalist who focuses on the ankles and feet; Jimmy Slyde talks of “visual dancers” who “all make pictures”; and Chuck Green advises using the balletic port de bras technique. Each dancer provides his personal answer to the question, “How does an artist discover their own individual style?”

	Les abysses Directed by Nico Papatakis Starring Francine Bergé, Colette Bergé, Pascale de Boysson 1963 France Duration: 1:32:49	Inspired by the notorious case of Christine and Léa Papin—French sisters working as maids who murdered their employer’s wife and daughter in 1933—Nico Papatakis’s debut feature was a succès de scandale that was boycotted by Cannes’s selection committee in 1963. A furiously anarchic, expressionistically heightened dissection of class relations, LES ABYSSES unfolds in a country home where domestic servants Michèle and Marie-Louise (played by real-life sisters Francine and Colette Bergé) are cruelly exploited by the family they work for. When their abusive employers push them too far, it provokes a shocking rebellion that doubles as a provocative metaphor for Algerian resistance against French colonialism.
	Accattone Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini Starring Franco Citti, Franca Pasut, Silvana Corsini 1961 Italy Duration: 1:57:30	Poet and painter turned filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini courted controversy with his very first feature by using Catholic iconography and liturgical music to render a plaintive, brutally beautiful portrait of a shiftless Roman pimp and thief (then-nonprofessional Franco Citti, in a revelatory performance) whose life of petty crime turns increasingly desperate when the woman who supports him is imprisoned. Melding a hardscrabble neorealist milieu with classical influences, Pasolini offers a vision of underclass struggle as a kind of modern sainthood.
	An Accidental Studio Directed by Bill Jones, Kim Leggatt, and Ben Timlett Starring Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, George Harrison 2019 United Kingdom Duration: 1:37:26	This heartfelt tribute to the little studio that could charts the unlikely rise of HandMade Films—the independent producer/distributor that revitalized the 1980s British film industry with its idiosyncratic, auteur-driven ethos—through the eyes of filmmakers, key personnel, and the man who started it all: former Beatle George Harrison. Through unseen archival footage of Harrison and interviews with the artists he championed like Terry Gilliam and Bob Hoskins, AN ACCIDENTAL STUDIO explores HandMade’s baptism by fire, the risks it took in producing uniquely crafted and intelligent films, and the stories that grew up around it.

	Ådalen 31 Directed by Bo Widerberg Starring Peter Schildt, Kerstin Tidelius, Roland Hedlund 1969 Sweden Duration: 1:54:35	One of Bo Widerberg’s most explicitly political works imbues the true story of a 1931 labor strike with a powerful contemporary resonance. In the industrial district of Ådalen, in the north of Sweden, a peaceful demonstration takes a tragic turn, leading to a historic general strike. Amid these events, the teenage Kjell (Peter Schildt) experiences sacrifice and strife, love and loss, and the consequences of this shocking violence. Working once again with ELVIRA MADIGAN cinematographer Jörgen Persson—who captures shimmering, light-filled images in graceful widescreen—Widerberg entwines a stirring portrait of resistance with an intimate coming-of-age journey for a vision of history that feels vibrantly, urgently alive.
	Adieu Bonaparte Directed by Youssef Chahine Starring Michel Piccoli, Mohsen Mohieddin, Mohamed Atef 1985 Egypt Duration: 1:54:37	Youssef Chahine’s rich and nuanced exploration of culture clash and connection centers on Napoleon’s occupation of Egypt at the turn of the nineteenth century and the complex relationship that develops between two Arab brothers (Mohsen Mohieddin and Mohamad Atef) and the gay French general Cafarelli (Michel Piccoli, playing one of many fascinating queer characters populating Chahine’s films). Featuring stunning cinematography and a striking performance from Patrice Chéreau as Napoleon, ADIEU BONAPARTE balances historical and political sweep with a very human exploration of the emotional, sexual, and intellectual dimensions of colonialism.
	A Dirty Story Directed by Jean Eustache Starring Michael Lonsdale, Jean-Noël Picq, Laurie Zimmer 1977 France Duration: 49:23	Deceptively simple in form and content, Jean Eustache’s A DIRTY STORY is a fascinatingly complex investigation of the relationship between fiction and documentary, verbal and visual storytelling, and personal and universal desires. The film’s two sections mirror each other: in the first, Michael Lonsdale performs the role of a man explaining to a roomful of friends his past voyeuristic obsessions, while the second section shows an unscripted recording of Jean-Noël Picq, the man Lonsdale plays, recounting the same real-life tale. Eustache presents dramatic and authentic versions of the “dirty story” without authorial commentary and thus encourages the viewer to untangle a web of structural correspondences between the narrations, as well as the sexual and moral implications of Picq’s candid confession.
	The Adjuster Directed by Atom Egoyan Starring Elias Koteas, Arsinée Khanjian, Maury Chaykin 1991 Canada Duration: 1:42:22	Noah Render (Elias Koteas) is an insurance claims adjuster who attends to his clients’ every need—including their sexual ones.

	Adoption Directed by Márta Mészáros Starring Katalin Berek, Gyöngyvér Vígh, László Szabó 1975 Hungary Duration: 1:28:00	Trailblazing auteur Márta Mészáros gives aching expression to the experiences of women in 1970s Hungary in this sensitive and absorbing drama, which became the first film directed by a woman to win the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. Through intimate camera work, ADOPTION immerses the viewer in the worlds of two women, each searching for fulfillment: Kata (Katalin Berek), a middle-aged factory worker who wants to have a child with her married lover, and Anna (Gyöngyvér Vígh), a teenage ward of the state determined to emancipate herself in order to marry her boyfriend. The bond that forms between the two speaks quietly but powerfully to the social and political forces that shape women’s lives, as each navigates the realities of love, marriage, and motherhood in her quest for self-determination.

	The Adventures of Prince Achmed Directed by Lotte Reiniger 1926 Germany Duration: 1:05:48	Widely believed to be the very first animated feature film, Lotte Reiniger’s astonishing 1926 adaptation of tales from “One Thousand and One Nights” uses striking silhouette cutouts and gorgeous color tinting to bring to life the story of an Arabian prince who is whisked away on a flying horse to an enchanted land where he tangles with an evil sorcerer, rescues a princess, and joins forces with none other than Aladdin. Painstakingly composed frame by frame by Reiniger over the course of three years, this landmark work is both an enchanting storybook saga and a retina-delighting triumph of visual imagination.

Returning director Kimiyoshi Yasuda and screenwriter Shozaburo Asai masterfully weave together a variety of narrative threads and tonal registers, all while playfully tweaking the conventions and motifs of the series.
	Adventures on the New Frontier Directed by Robert Drew 1961 United States Duration: 52:40	Cinéma vérité pioneer Robert Drew's fascinating documentary Adventures on the New Frontier offers a rare and candid glimpse inside the Oval Office as newly elected President John F. Kennedy goes about his daily work routine as America's Chief Executive.
	Affliction Directed by Paul Schrader Starring Nick Nolte, Sissy Spacek, James Coburn 1997 United States Duration: 1:54:21	Driven by powerhouse performances from Nick Nolte and an Oscar-winning James Coburn, Paul Schrader’s searing adaptation of the novel by Russell Banks is an emotionally intense exploration of family, masculinity, and violence across generations. When a mysterious tragedy shatters the quiet of his small town, Wade Whitehouse (Nolte), with the aid of his new girlfriend (Sissy Spacek), is forced to confront his past and reexamine his life. Determined to fill the emptiness, he must either stand tall against his childhood demons or fall victim to the abusive ways of his father (Coburn).

Nadja soon distracts Leon from finishing his latest novel, not only because of her passionate liaison with lifeguard Devid (Enno Trebs) but also because her brutal honesty forces Leon to confront his artistic inadequacies. As Nadja and Leon grow closer, an encroaching forest fire threatens the group and pushes the writer to discover whether he can truly care for anything beyond himself. Christian Petzold’s acclaimed latest was the winner of the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the 2023 Berlin International Film Festival. “Superb. Few of this summer’s movies burn as fiercely.” —Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times “Spiky . . . mordantly funny . . . Afire is a tonic for moviegoers tired of nice, squishable, likable, relatable, and dull characters.” —Manohla Dargis, New York Times (Critic’s Pick) “A masterpiece. Christian Petzold is one of the great directors of this young century.” —Jordan Raup, The Film Stage

	After Life Directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda Starring Arata, Erika Oda, Susumu Terajima 1998 Japan Duration: 1:59:21	If you could choose only one memory to hold on to for eternity, what would it be? That’s the question at the heart of Hirokazu Kore-eda’s revelatory international breakthrough, a bittersweet fantasia in which the recently deceased find themselves in a limbo realm where they must select a single cherished moment from their life to be recreated on film for them to take into the next world. AFTER LIFE’s high-concept premise is grounded in Kore eda’s documentary-like approach to the material, which he shaped through interviews with hundreds of Japanese citizens. What emerges is a panoramic vision of the human experience—its ephemeral joys and lingering regrets—and a quietly profound meditation on memory, our interconnectedness, and the amberlike power of cinema to freeze time.

Steeped in moody atmospherics and psychological tension, the film struck its national cinema like a bolt of lightning, illuminating on-screen, for the first time and with unflinching realism, the emotional toll of Indonesian society’s postcolonial struggles.
	After the Rehearsal Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Erland Josephson, Lena Olin, Ingrid Thulin 1984 Sweden Duration: 1:13:37	With this spare chamber piece, set in an empty theater, Ingmar Bergman returned to his perennial theme of the permeability of life and art. Lingering after a rehearsal for August Strindberg’s “A Dream Play” (a touchstone for the filmmaker throughout his career), eminent director Henrik (Erland Josephson) enters into a frank and flirtatious conversation with his up-and-coming star, Anna (Lena Olin), leading him to recall his affair with Anna’s late mother, the self-destructive actress Rakel (Ingrid Thulin). The sharply written and impeccably performed AFTER THE REHEARSAL, originally made for television, pares away all artifice to examine both the allure and the cost of a life in the theater.
	The Age of Innocence Directed by Martin Scorsese Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Winona Ryder 1993 United States Duration: 2:18:43	No filmmaker captures the grandeur and energy of New York like Martin Scorsese.

Told over the course of one day, Ahed’s Knee depicts Y as he battles against the loss of freedom in his country and the fear of losing his mother. Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, the latest from fearless director Nadav Lapid (SYNONYMS) is a molotov cocktail of white-hot political rage that offers a searing critique of the censorship, hypocrisy, and violence instigated by Israel and repressive governments everywhere.

This unique work, one of the first films to deal with the subject of AIDS, was based on San Francisco’s long-running Theatre Rhinoceros stage production of the same name. It speaks to everyone who has ever thought about AIDS or any terminal disease. Excerpts from the play are combined with interviews with the show’s creators and performers, along with personal narration by the filmmakers—Peter Adair and Rob Epstein—in a powerful hybrid of documentary and drama.
	Aladdin and the Magic Lamp Directed by Lotte Reiniger 1954 United Kingdom Duration: 14:41	The classic story of a poor young tailor who comes into possession of a lamp containing a wish-granting genie is brought to life through Lotte Reiniger’s enchanting silhouette animation.

Young Starring Domingo Ambriz, Trinidad Silva, Linda Gillin 1977 United States Duration: 1:36:50	In ¡ALAMBRISTA!, a Mexican farmworker sneaks across the border to California to make money to send to his family back home. It is a story that happens every day, told here in an uncompromising, groundbreaking work of realism from American independent filmmaker Robert M. Young. Vivid and spare where other films about illegal immigration might sentimentalize, Young’s take is equal parts intimate character study and gripping road movie, a political work that never loses sight of the complex man at its center. ¡ALAMBRISTA!, winner of the Cannes Film Festival’s inaugural Caméra d'Or in 1978, remains one of the best films ever made on this perennially relevant topic.
	aletheia Directed by Tran, T. Kim-Trang 1992 United States Duration: 16:28	The introductory title to The Blindness Series, ALETHEIA presents an indexing of categories investigating different aspects of blindness as metaphor. Stylistic preference for the techniques and conventions of MTV, and American television in general, provides the means to create connections among the categories of cosmetic surgery, sexuality, technology, language, hysterical blindness, and actual blindness.
	Alexander Nevsky Directed by Sergei Eisenstein Starring Nikolai Cherkasov, Nikolai Okhlopkov, Andrei Abrikosov 1938 Soviet Union Duration: 1:48:11	Eisenstein drew on history, Russian folk narratives, and the techniques of Walt Disney to create this broadly painted epic of Russian resilience. This story of Teutonic knights vanquished by Prince Alexander Nevsky’s tactical brilliance resonated deeply with a Soviet Union concerned with the rise of Nazi Germany. Widely imitated, most notably by Laurence Olivier’s Battle of Agincourt re-creation for HENRY V, the Battle on the Ice scene remains one of the most famous audio-visual experiments in film history, perfectly blending action with the rousing score of Sergei Prokofiev.
	Alexandria: Again and Forever Directed by Youssef Chahine Starring Youssra, Hussein Fahmy, Youssef Chahine 1989 Duration: 1:49:43	The third installment in a series of four films Youssef Chahine made exploring his own life and times, ALEXANDRIA: AGAIN AND FOREVER stars the director himself as Yehia, a filmmaker whose planned HAMLET adaptation comes to a halt when his lead actor and muse Amr (Amr Abdul-Gelil), who may or may not be his lover, walks out on the project, launching him on a self-reflective journey through his artistic, political, and sexual worlds. Something like Chahine’s 8½, this florid self-portrait of the artist in middle age overflows with fantasies, musical numbers, and an exuberant sense of creative freedom.
	Alexandria . . . Why? Directed by Youssef Chahine Starring Naglaa Fathi, Mahmoud el-Meliguy, Farid Shawqi 1979 Egypt Duration: 2:11:42	Having spent the larger part of the 1960s and ’70s examining the rise and fall of Egypt’s first republic, director Youssef Chahine turned inwards with this kaleidoscopic, semi-autobiographical evocation of his wartime childhood, the first in a quartet of films collectively dubbed “Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.” A bustling, novelistically detailed recreation of the cosmopolitan Alexandria during World War II, the film follows Chahine’s teenage alter ego Yehia (Mohsen Mohieddin) as he escapes from the engulfing uncertainty of Egyptian reality into a world of Hollywood fantasy—only to find himself gradually pulled toward student activism. Working with some of Egypt’s biggest stars of the time and deftly balancing a dizzying array of subplots—including a queer romance—Chahine creates a deeply personal tapestry of art, politics, culture, and community at a transformative moment in Egyptian history.
	alexia Directed by Tran, T. Kim-Trang 2000 United States Duration: 09:37	ALEXIA is an experimental video about word-blindness and metaphor. Word-blindness is a condition that usually afflicts people who have suffered a stroke, causing them to lose the visual recognition of individual letters but perceive the entire word, or vice versa. Metaphor is here discussed in its function to reveal and obscure perception. Divided into five short sections, ALEXIA opens with a quote from a well-known Buddhist passage (“Do not mistake the finger for the moon”) and goes on to present Giambattista Vico’s theory of the origin of language and Ludwig Wittgenstein’s theory of aspect-blindness.

Though they initially find themselves at odds, the pair begin to form an unlikely friendship.
	Ali: Fear Eats the Soul Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder Starring Brigitte Mira, El Hedi ben Salem, Barbara Valentin 1974 Germany Duration: 1:33:20	The wildly prolific German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder paid homage to his cinematic hero Douglas Sirk with this update of that filmmaker’s 1955 ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS. A lonely widow (Brigitte Mira) meets a much younger Arab worker (El Hedi ben Salem) in a bar during a rainstorm. They fall in love, to their own surprise—and to the outright shock of their families, colleagues, and drinking buddies. In ALI: FEAR EATS THE SOUL, Fassbinder expertly wields the emotional power of classic Hollywood melodrama to expose the racial tensions underlying contemporary German culture.
	Alison's Birthday Directed by Ian Coughlan Starring Joanne Samuel, Bunney Brooke, Lou Brown 1981 Australia Duration: 1:38:27	Something like an Australian answer to ROSEMARY’S BABY, this satanic-panic shocker remains one of the most chilling—and criminally underseen—Ozploitation outings of the 1980s. When a Ouija board séance with her friends warns teenage orphan Alison (Joanne Samuel of MAD MAX fame) not to return home for her nineteenth birthday, it unlocks an occult conspiracy of fear, violence, and demonic deliverance—all building to a seriously creepy climax.
	Alix’s Pictures Directed by Jean Eustache Starring Alix Clio-Roubaud, Boris Eustache 1980 France Duration: 20:12	Winner of the 1982 César Award for Best Short Film, ALIX’S PICTURES is Jean Eustache’s playful meditation on the ambiguity of images and the elusiveness of interpretation. In a room, a young woman (Alix Cléo Roubaud) describes to a young man (Boris Eustache, the director’s son) the stories, techniques, and meanings behind several of her meticulously composed black-and-white photographs. But at some point, her explanations don’t seem to match what we see. Is this because language can never accurately account for the visual? Because the viewer is being asked to perform more than a surface-level comprehension of art? Because Eustache is perpetrating some sort of absurdist practical joke? Or all of the above?
	All in This Tea Directed by Les Blank and Gina Leibrecht 2007 United States Duration: 1:09:58	Join noted tea guru and importer David Lee Hoffman as he scours China for the finest teas in the world. Following Hoffman as he travels to local tea farms deep in the Chinese countryside, extols the virtues of organic farming and the fertilizing benefits of the humble earthworm, and talks tea with none other than Werner Herzog, director Les Blank (shooting digitally for the first time) crafts a portrait of a man driven by an all-consuming passion and an ode to the myriad pleasures of an ancient beverage.

	All My Good Countrymen Directed by Vojtech Jasný 1969 Czechoslovakia Duration: 2:00:08	Vojtěch Jasný won the best director award at the 1969 Cannes Film Festival for this sweeping portrait of a small Czech village between the years of 1945 and 1958, during which the residents go from hopeful in the aftermath of the defeat of the Nazis to increasingly demoralized in the face of the Communist takeover. Lyrical in its feeling for landscape but biting in its social and political commentary, ALL MY GOOD COUNTRYMEN stands as the defining work by one of the lesser-known figures of the Czechoslovak New Wave.

THEY’RE COMING TO GET YOU!) is a feverishly surreal immersion into a woman’s unraveling mind that, with its kaleidoscopic cinematography and trippy score by Bruno Nicolai, approaches full-on psychedelic freakout.

	The American Friend Directed by Wim Wenders Starring Dennis Hopper, Bruno Ganz 1977 Germany Duration: 2:07:38	Starring Dennis Hopper, Bruno Ganz Wim Wenders pays loving homage to rough-and-tumble Hollywood film noir with THE AMERICAN FRIEND, a loose adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel “Ripley’s Game.” Dennis Hopper oozes quirky menace as an amoral American art dealer who entangles a terminally ill German everyman, played by Bruno Ganz, in a seedy criminal underworld as revenge for a personal slight, but when the two become embroiled in an ever-deepening murder plot, they form an unlikely bond. Filmed on location in Hamburg and Paris, with some scenes shot in grimy, late-seventies New York City, Wenders’ international breakout is a stripped-down crime story that mixes West German and American film flavors, and it features cameos by filmmakers Jean Eustache, Samuel Fuller, and Nicholas Ray.
	The American Soldier Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder 1970 Germany Duration: 1:20:03	The German-born American GI Ricky (Karl Scheydt) returns to Munich from Vietnam and is promptly hired as a contract killer. Rainer Werner Fassbinder's experimental noir is a subversive, self-reflexive gangster movie full of unexpected asides and stylistic flourishes, and features an audaciously bonkers final shot and memorable turns from many of the director's rotating gallery of players.
	Le amiche Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni Starring Eleonora Rossi Drago, Gabriele Ferzetti, Franco Fabrizi 1955 Italy Duration: 1:45:58	Starring Eleonora Rossi Drago, Gabriele Ferzetti, Franco Fabrizi This major early achievement by Michelangelo Antonioni bears the first signs of the cinema-changing style for which he would soon be world-famous. LE AMICHE (THE GIRLFRIENDS) is a brilliantly observed, fragmentary depiction of modern bourgeois life, conveyed from the perspective of five Turinese women. As four of the friends try to make sense of the suicide attempt of the fifth, they find themselves examining their own troubled romantic lives. With suggestions of the theme of modern alienation and the fastidious visual abstraction that would define his later masterpieces such as L’AVVENTURA, L’ECLISSE, and RED DESERT, Antonioni’s film is a devastating take on doomed love and fraught friendship. Restored by the Cineteca di Bologna at L’Immagine Ritrovata. Restoration funding provided by Gucci and The Film Foundation.

	Ana and the Wolves Directed by Carlos Saura Starring Geraldine Chaplin, José María Prada, José Vivó 1973 Spain Duration: 1:40:18	One of director Carlos Saura’s most potent allegories for the hypocrisy and repression that defined Francoist Spain follows Ana (Geraldine Chaplin), a young English woman who arrives at a remote Spanish estate in order to work as a governess for three girls. What she finds is a hothouse of dysfunction, perversion, and warped family relationships that lays bare the psychological trauma of life under an authoritarian regime.
	Anatomy of a Murder Directed by Otto Preminger Starring James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara 1959 United States Duration: 2:40:50	Directed by Otto Preminger • 1959 • United States Starring James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara A virtuoso James Stewart plays a small-town Michigan lawyer who takes on a difficult case: the defense of a young army lieutenant (Ben Gazzara) accused of murdering a local tavern owner who he believes raped his wife (Lee Remick). This gripping envelope-pusher, the most popular film by Hollywood provocateur Otto Preminger, was groundbreaking for the frankness of its discussion of sex—but more than anything else, it is a striking depiction of the power of words. Featuring an outstanding supporting cast—with a young George C. Scott as a fiery prosecutor and the legendary attorney Joseph N. Welch as the judge—and an influential score by Duke Ellington, ANATOMY OF A MURDER is an American movie landmark, nominated for seven Oscars, including best picture.
	Anatomy of Hell Directed by Catherine Breillat Starring Amira Casar, Rocco Siffredi 2004 France Duration: 1:17:08	After attempting suicide, a young woman (Amira Casar) makes a startling proposition to the man (Rocco Siffredi) who rescued her: she will pay him to watch her naked body over the course of four nights as long as he provides “impartial” commentary about what he sees. Thus ensues ANATOMY OF HELL, one of the most controversial films of Catherine Breillat’s career—a singularly daring meditation on the pleasures and horrors of the flesh. Buoyed by the two leads’ fearless performances, HELL is as much a philosophical treatise on the hidden traumas of sexuality as it is an increasingly unsettling battle of the sexes, with Breillat using a hushed chamber-play setup to show the spectator no quarter throughout the transgressive proceedings. The result is like nothing else, even within the director’s audacious oeuvre: her deepest expression of anguish over the unspeakable ecstasies and degradations of the body erotic.
	An Autumn’s Tale Directed by Mabel Cheung Starring Cherie Chung, Chow Yun-fat, Danny Chan 1987 Hong Kong Duration: 1:39:21	A heartfelt tale of love and loneliness unfolds in New York City in this hugely popular romantic drama, the second film in director Mabel Cheung’s Migration Trilogy.

Pacino plays Arthur Kirkland, a controversial young lawyer who has often butted heads with the corrupt judge Henry T. Fleming (John Forsythe). When the judge is accused of rape, Kirkland is surprisingly enlisted to defend him—plunging him into an explosive legal and ethical quagmire that will shake up the courtroom.

Finding beauty in the bleakest of circumstances, Kiarostami crafts a quietly majestic ode to the best of the human spirit.
	And Now Miguel Directed by Joseph Krumgold Starring Miguel Chavez, Pedro Chavez 1953 United States Duration: 1:03:11	AND NOW MIGUEL is known today as the beloved novel by Joseph Krumgold that won the Newberry Medal for excellence in American children’s literature in 1954. But few know that the story actually originated as a motion picture for the U.S. State Department directed by Krumgold. Miguel Chavez is the twelve-year-old son of a family of shepherds who dreams of joining the older men in his family as they take their flock of sheep out to pasture in New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Small but determined, Miguel sets out to prove to his family that he is ready to take his place as a shepherd. Magnificently photographed with an emphasis on local customs and practices, this beautifully observed quasi-documentary is an essential record of Latino life in a remote corner of 1950s America.
	Andrei Rublev Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky Starring Anatoly Solonitsyn, Ivan Lapikov, Nikolai Grinko 1966 Soviet Union Duration: 3:03:12	Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky • 1966 • Soviet Union Starring Anatoly Solonitsyn, Ivan Lapikov, Nikolai Grinko Tracing the life of a renowned icon painter, the second feature by Andrei Tarkovsky vividly conjures the murky world of medieval Russia. This dreamlike and remarkably tactile film follows Andrei Rublev as he passes through a series of poetically linked scenes—snow falls inside an unfinished church, naked pagans stream through a thicket during a torchlit ritual, a boy oversees the clearing away of muddy earth for the forging of a gigantic bell—gradually emerging as a man struggling mightily to preserve his creative and religious integrity. Appearing here in the director’s preferred 183-minute cut as well as the version that was originally suppressed by Soviet authorities, the masterwork ANDREI RUBLEV is one of Tarkovsky’s most revered films, an arresting meditation on art, faith, and endurance.
	Andrei Tarkovsky: A Cinema Prayer Directed by Andrei A. Tarkovskiy 2019 Italy Duration: 1:42:22	The life, art, and inner world of Russian master Andrei Tarkovsky is explored through the filmmaker’s own words and images in this appropriately hushed and reverent tribute to a cinematic titan. Lovingly made by the director’s son, ANDREI TARKOVSKY: A CINEMA PRAYER draws from a wealth of archival materials—rare audio recordings, photographs, film excerpts, and behind-the-scenes footage from the making of masterpieces such as ANDREI RUBLEV and STALKER—to reveal the filmmaker’s profoundly personal thoughts on topics like existence, death, religion, and cinema.
	Androcles and the Lion Directed by Chester Erskine 1952 United Kingdom Duration: 1:38:06	George Bernard Shaw's breezy, delightful dramatization of this classic fable, about a Christian slave who pulls a thorn from a lion's paw and is spared from death in the Colosseum as a result of his kind act, was written as a meditation on modern Christian values. And Pascal's final Shaw production plays it broadly, casting comic character actor Alan Young as the titular naïf. He's ably supported by Jean Simmons, Victor Mature, Robert Newton, and Elsa Lanchester.
	. . . And the Pursuit of Happiness Directed by Louis Malle 1986 France Duration: 1:21:12	In 1986, Louis Malle, himself a transplant to the United States, set out to investigate the ever-widening range of immigrant experience in America.

Evoking the unsettled consciousness of its young heroine through strikingly poetic, magical-realist images, ANGELA conjures a hallucinatory world in which reality mingles with dark fantasy until the two are virtually indistinguishable.

Three actors in turn take on the lead role (including Kerry Fox in a marvelous performance as the adult Frame), as the film describes a journey from an impoverished childhood marked by tragedy to a misdiagnosis of schizophrenia resulting in electroshock therapy and a narrowly escaped lobotomy to, finally, international literary fame. Unobtrusively capturing the beauty and power of the New Zealand landscape while maintaining the film’s focus on the figure at its center, Campion broke new ground for female filmmakers everywhere and earned a sweep of her country’s film awards, along with the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.

With his typically wry humor, director Mark Lewis uncovers the comic and quizzical relationships that exist between people and creatures great and small.
	Animals Distract Me Directed by Isabella Rossellini Starring Isabella Rossellini 2011 United States Duration: 48:25	For actor, model, and filmmaker-biologist Isabella Rossellini, animals have always been a source of both joy and deep fascination—whether it’s the dogs who have been her lifelong companions, the animals she raises on her farm, or the insects and marine life she studies in her second career as a researcher of animal behavior. In this witty and delightfully unpredictable documentary, Rossellini invites viewers to join her on a day out in New York City, where animals—from the microscopic mites that live on her eyelashes to the rats that populate the subways—are never far from her endlessly curious mind.
	Anna Karenina Directed by Julien Duvivier 1948 United Kingdom Duration: 1:52:45	He loves me, he loves me not... Anna Karenina risks her marriage, social standing, and a relationship with her son all for the illicit love of a young cavalry officer. As expected, things get complicated.
	Anne-Marie Directed by Raymond Bernard 1936 France Duration: 1:38:27	Raymond Bernard's Anne-Marie was a special movie on several counts -- as a feature film from the 1930's about a young woman who aspires to become a pilot, and as the next-to-last pre-war French film by the star Annabella before she left went to Hollywood. But its special status resides in its screenplay, the sole work in that writing genre by renowned aviator/author Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944), whose credits also included The Little Prince.
	Anne Truitt, Working Directed by Jem Cohen Starring Anne Truitt 2009 United States Duration: 12:44	Jem Cohen’s portrait of sculptor Anne Truitt features an interview with the artist and footage shot in and around her studios at the Yaddo artist colony and in Washington D. C. Rather than an attempt to depict the art itself, which is in many respects unphotographable, the film’s core is Truitt speaking about her work.
	Another Decade Directed by Morgan Quaintance 2018 United Kingdom Duration: 26:52	ANOTHER DECADE begins with testimonies and statements made by artists and art historians during the 1994 Institute of International Visual Arts conference “Towards a New Internationalism” to reveal the lack of sociocultural or institutional change that has taken place in the United Kingdom since that time. The dynamic tension explored in the work is between, on the one hand, art-world actors speaking a truth to institutional power and, on the other, lived realities of London’s multiracial citizenry.
	Another Hayride Directed by Matt Wolf 2021 United States Duration: 17:56	As the AIDS epidemic took hold in the early 1980s, self-help guru Louise Hay created a space for healing called the Hayride. Drawing hundreds of gay men confronting a deadly and stigmatized disease, Louise promised that they could overcome AIDS through self-love. Some said this early new-age wellness movement was unscientific and harmful. Others who were suffering said that Louise healed them. In the face of a deadly pandemic and government neglect, resilience takes unusual forms, and for Louise Hay’s circle, intimate forms of reckoning were transformative.

Bolstered by delicate camerawork and a fierce and touching performance from the ever-surprising Mads Mikkelsen, director Thomas Vinterberg uses this bold premise to explore the euphoria and pain of an unbridled life.

Shot in 6K resolution—and released theatrically in 3D—the film presents an immersive cinematic experience of the German artist’s work, which explores the overawing beauty of human existence, landscape, and myth, and confronts the horrors of his country’s history, seeking to undo the postwar silence in which Kiefer came of age. Through archival footage, reenactment, and direct access to his subject at work in the massive installation in Southern France where he now lives amid his creations, Wenders traces the arc of Kiefer’s career, provoking an engagement with creativity through the senses, intellect, and spirit.

	Antonio Gaudí Directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara 1984 Japan Duration: 1:12:13	Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) designed some of the world’s most astonishing buildings, interiors, and parks; Japanese director Hiroshi Teshigahara constructed some of the most aesthetically audacious films ever made. In ANTONIO GAUDÍ, their artistry melds in a unique, enthralling cinematic experience. Less a documentary than a visual poem, Teshigahara’s film takes viewers on a tour of Gaudí’s truly spectacular architecture, including his massive, still-unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Família basilica in Barcelona. With camera work as bold and sensual as the curves of his subject’s organic structures, Teshigahara immortalizes Gaudí on film.

They’ve got a seemingly perfect plan, until . . . Veteran director Henri Verneuil lends his craftsman’s touch to this jazz-inflected noir that rivals the thrillers of Jean-Pierre Melville for expertly deployed tension.

Ordered to “terminate with extreme prejudice” Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), a dangerously insane American military officer who has gone rogue, tormented assassin Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) embarks on a journey upriver from Vietnam to Cambodia that will take him through the depths of human madness and depravity. The result of a notoriously troubled production that pushed all involved to the brink, APOCALYPSE NOW—presented here in its restored and extended REDUX version, which adds forty-nine minutes of footage to the original 1979 release cut—comes as close as cinema ever has to capturing the hellish fever of war.

	Araya Directed by Margot Benacerraf 1959 Venezuela Duration: 1:22:22	A work of such overwhelming grandeur that Jean Renoir told director Margot Benacerraf after viewing the film, “Above all . . . don’t cut a single image,” this poetic documentary-narrative hybrid is a landmark of both neorealist and feminist South American cinema. For five hundred years, the Araya peninsula in northeastern Venezuela has been mined for its salt. Through images of breathtaking beauty, Benacerraf captures the everyday lives of three families and their back-breaking work in the salt marshes, exquisitely preserving an embattled but tenacious way of life.
	L’argent Directed by Robert Bresson Starring Christian Patey, Vincent Risterucci, Caroline Lang 1983 France Duration: 1:24:48	In his ruthlessly clear-eyed final film, French master Robert Bresson pushed his unique blend of spiritual rumination and formal rigor to a new level of astringency. Transposing a Tolstoy novella to contemporary Paris, L’ARGENT follows a counterfeit bill as it originates as a prop in a schoolboy prank, then circulates like a virus among the corrupt and the virtuous alike before landing with a young truck driver and leading him to incarceration and violence. With brutal economy, Bresson constructs his unforgiving vision of original sin out of starkly perceived details, rooting his characters in a dehumanizing material world that withholds any hope of transcendence.

Yet a minor-key romance with a hilariously dispassionate meter maid (Susanna Haavisto) might provide a light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Ariel, which boasts a terrific soundtrack of Finnish tango and Baltic pop music and lovely cinematography by Kaurismäki's longtime cameraman Timo Salmimen, put its director on the international map.
	Army Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita 1944 Japan Duration: 1:27:33	Kinoshita's ambitious and intensely moving film begins as a multigenerational epic about the military legacy of one Japanese family, before settling into an emotionally complex portrayal of parental love during wartime.

	As Long as You’ve Got Your Health Directed by Pierre Etaix 1966 France Duration: 1:07:59	In this endlessly diverting compendium of four short films, Pierre Etaix regards the 1960s from his askew but astute perspective. Each part is as technically impressive as it is riotous: a man attempts to read a novel about vampires beside his sleeping wife but cannot seem to separate reality from fiction; a simple afternoon at the movies becomes a consumer-culture assault; a jarringly noisy urban landscape keeps a city’s population on edge; and a day in the country means something different to a picnicking city couple, a hunter, and a farmer.
	Assassin Directed by Masahiro Shinoda 1964 Japan Duration: 1:44:43	Masahiro Shinoda's Assassin (aka Ansatsu) was the director's first period film - but it is hardly set in the "safety" of a past era, as its story, of a masterless samurai (Tetsuro Tamba) making his way amid the chaotic aftermath of Commodore Perry's forcible contact with Japan in 1853, seems to resonate clearly in Japan's post-World War II era. Shinoda presents a stark picture of social and political upheaval, spreading duplicity and dishonor, and the consequences of up-ending the established order in a society built on expectations of a rigid social order.

	As Tears Go By Directed by Wong Kar Wai Starring Andy Lau Tak Wah, Maggie Cheung Man Yuk, Jacky Cheung Hok Yau 1988 Hong Kong Duration: 1:39:29	Wong Kar Wai’s scintillating debut feature is a kinetic, hypercool crime thriller graced with flashes of the impressionistic, daydream visual style for which he would become renowned. Set amid Hong Kong’s ruthless, neon-lit gangland underworld, this operatic saga of ambition, honor, and revenge stars Andy Lau Tak Wah as a small-time mob enforcer who finds himself torn between a burgeoning romance with his ailing cousin (Maggie Cheung Man Yuk, in the first of her iconic collaborations with the director) and his loyalty to his loose-cannon partner in crime (Jacky Cheung Hok Yau), whose reckless attempts to make a name for himself unleash a spiral of violence. Marrying the pulp pleasures of the gritty Hong Kong action drama with hints of the head-rush romanticism Wong would push to intoxicating heights throughout the 1990s, AS TEARS GO BY was a box office smash that heralded the arrival of one of contemporary cinema’s most electrifying talents.
	As Time Goes By Directed by Ann Hui and Vincent Chui Starring Ann Hui 1997 Hong Kong Duration: 1:01:23	AS TIME GOES BY is a rarely seen, deeply personal work of nonfiction by Ann Hui, made at the beginning of Hong Kong’s handover from colonial British rule to Mainland China in 1997, a year of unprecedented transformations.

The film was produced by Peggy Chao.
	L’Atalante Directed by Jean Vigo Starring Jean Dasté, Dita Parlo, Michel Simon 1934 France Duration: 1:28:39	In Jean Vigo’s hands, an unassuming tale of conjugal love becomes an achingly romantic reverie of desire and hope. Jean (Jean Dasté), a barge captain, marries Juliette (Dita Parlo), an innocent country girl, and the two climb aboard Jean’s boat, the L’ATALANTE—otherwise populated by an earthy first mate (Michel Simon) and a multitude of mangy cats—and embark on their new life together. Both a surprisingly erotic idyll and a clear-eyed meditation on love, L’ATALANTE, Vigo’s only feature-length work, is a film like no other.
	Atlanta’s Olympic Glory Directed by Bud Greenspan 1997 United States Duration: 3:27:01	A mere twelve years after Los Angeles in 1984, the Olympic Games returned to the United States for the Games of the XXVI Olympiad.

Though the widower Shuhei (frequent Ozu leading man Chishu Ryu) has been living comfortably for years with his grown daughter, a series of events leads him to accept and encourage her marriage and departure from their home. As elegantly composed and achingly tender as any of the Japanese master’s films, AN AUTUMN AFTERNOON is one of cinema’s fondest farewells.
	Autumn in New York Directed by Joan Chen Starring Winona Ryder, Richard Gere, Anthony LaPaglia 2000 United States Duration: 1:44:10	The second film directed by actor-filmmaker Joan Chen brings together the beauty and star power of Richard Gere and Winona Ryder for a timeless, unabashedly heart-tugging romantic melodrama.

Over the course of a day and a long, painful night that the two spend together after an extended separation, they finally confront the bitter discord of their relationship.

Antonioni’s controversial international sensation is a gorgeously shot tale of modern ennui and spiritual isolation.
	Baal Directed by Volker Schlöndorff 1970 West Germany Duration: 1:24:03	Volker Schlöndorff transported Bertolt Brecht's 1918 debut play to contemporary West Germany for this vicious experiment in adaptation, seldom seen for nearly half a century. Oozing with brutish charisma, Rainer Werner Fassbinder embodies the eponymous anarchist poet, who feels that bourgeois society has rejected him and sets off on a schnapps-soaked rampage. Hewing faithfully to Brecht's text, Schlöndorff juxtaposes the theatricality of the prose with bare-bones, handheld 16 mm camera work, which gives immediacy to this savage story of rebellion. Featuring a supporting cast drawn from Fassbinder's troupe of theater actors that also includes Margarethe von Trotta, BAAL demonstrates the uncompromising vision of its director, a trailblazer of the New German Cinema.

	The Baby Carriage Directed by Bo Widerberg Starring Inger Taube, Tommy Berggren, Lars Passgård 1963 Sweden Duration: 1:36:20	Infused with a jazzy, nouvelle vague–inspired energy, Bo Widerberg’s feature debut has the freshness of youth. Building on his film criticism’s call for a socially relevant Swedish cinema, the writer turned director offers a vivid portrait of a young factory worker (Inger Taube) finding her way toward independence as she weathers unexpected pregnancy, learns hard lessons from relationships with two very different men, and leaves behind the only home she has ever known.

	Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans Directed by Werner Herzog Starring Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer 2009 United States Duration: 2:02:03	Two of contemporary cinema’s most electrifying eccentrics, Werner Herzog and Nicolas Cage, join forces for a thoroughly unhinged pulp fever dream. Not—despite the title—a remake of or sequel to the similarly named Abel Ferrara film, Herzog’s BAD LIEUTENANT unfolds in a neon-splashed, neonoir vision of post-Katrina New Orleans where amoral, drug-addled detective Terence McDonagh (Cage at his most gloriously unrestrained) finds himself teetering on the brink of insanity as he investigates the killing of five immigrants—a mystery that ultimately takes a backseat to Herzog’s wild, hallucinatory flourishes, including an extended, unforgettable “iguana cam” interlude.

Refusing to accept this flagrant act of oppression, one defiant journalist, Angel Ellis, charges headfirst into a historic battle against her tribal government’s censorship and corruption.

Returning to the Provençal countryside he knew intimately, Pagnol draws a vivid portrait of a close-knit village where the marital woes of a sweetly deluded baker (the inimitable Raimu, praised by no less than Orson Welles as “the greatest actor who ever lived”) snowball into a scandal that engulfs the town. Marrying the director’s abiding concern for the experiences of ordinary people with an understated but superbly judged visual style, THE BAKER’S WIFE is at once wonderfully droll and piercingly perceptive in its depiction of the complexities of human relationships.

But is he truly interested, or is she just a sweet diversion?
	La Balance Directed by Bob Swaim 1982 France Duration: 1:42:53	La Balance was a legitimate French attempt to reclaim the international crime film genre that the Americans had defined and dominated since the 1930s. With Hollywood-level (and style) violence and American-born (though French-based) filmmaker Bob Swaim in the director's chair, and a first-rate cast in a good, straight-forward crime story, it pushed all the right buttons with audiences on both sides of the Atlantic in the mid-1980s--especially the incredibly suspenseful final quarter-hour.

	Bay of Angels Directed by Jacques Demy Starring Jeanne Moreau, Claude Mann 1963 France Duration: 1:24:27	This precisely wrought, emotionally penetrating romantic drama from Jacques Demy, set largely in the casinos of Nice, is a visually lovely but darkly realistic investigation into love and obsession. A bottle-blonde Jeanne Moreau is at her blithe best as a gorgeous gambling addict, and Claude Mann is the bank clerk drawn into her risky world. Featuring a mesmerizing score by Michel Legrand, BAY OF ANGELS is among Demy’s most somber works.
	The Beaches of Agnès Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Agnès Varda 2008 France Duration: 1:52:44	“If we opened people up, we’d find landscapes. If we opened me up, we’d find beaches.” Originally intended to be Agnès Varda’s farewell to filmmaking, this enchanting auto-portrait, made in her eightieth year, is a freewheeling journey through her life, career, and artistic philosophy. Revisiting the places that shaped her—from the North Sea beaches of Belgium where she spent her childhood to the Mediterranean village where she shot her first film to the boardwalks of Los Angeles where she lived with her husband, Jacques Demy—Varda reflects on a lifetime of creation and inspiration, successes and setbacks, heartbreak and joy. Replete with images of wonder and whimsy—the ocean reflected in a kaleidoscope of mirrors, the streets of Paris transformed into a sandy beach, the filmmaker herself ensconced in the belly of a whale—The Beaches of Agnès is a playful and poignant record of a life lived fully and passionately in the name of cinema.
	The Beales of Grey Gardens Directed by Albert Maysles and David Maysles 2006 United States Duration: 1:31:23	The 1976 cinema vérité classic GREY GARDENS, which captured in remarkable close-up the lives of the eccentric East Hampton recluses Big and Little Edie Beale, has spawned everything from a midnight-movie cult following to a Broadway musical, to an upcoming Hollywood adaptation. The filmmakers then went back to their vaults of footage to create part two, THE BEALES OF GREY GARDENS, a tribute both to these indomitable women and to the original landmark documentary’s legions of fans, who have made them American counterculture icons.
	The Beast Directed by Bertrand Bonello Starring Léa Seydoux, George MacKay, Guslagie Malanda 2023 France Duration: 01:42	Léa Seydoux stars in this visually audacious, mind-bending epic as a woman who falls in love with the same man (George MacKay) across three different incarnations of their lives: in belle-epoque Paris, in contemporary Los Angeles, and in a future dominated by artificial intelligence. Inspired by Henry James’s novella “The Beast in the Jungle,” the latest film from Bertrand Bonello (SAINT LAURENT, NOCTURAMA) is a haunting mystery suffused with mounting dread.
	The Beat That My Heart Skipped Directed by Jacques Audiard Starring Romain Duris, Niels Arestrup, Jonathan Zaccaï 2005 France Duration: 1:47:05	A visceral remake of James Toback’s 1978 film FINGERS played at fever-pitch intensity, this gritty neonoir, which swept the César Awards, centers on Tom (Romain Duris), a thuggish real-estate broker who fears that he is destined to follow in the footsteps of his petty gangster father (Niels Arestrup). An unexpected chance at redemption comes along when he resumes his study of classical piano with a new teacher (Lin-Danh Pham), an immigrant who speaks no French but with whom he forges a connection through music. Can the power of art save him from himself?
	Le beau Serge Directed by Claude Chabrol Starring Jean‑Claude Brialy, Gérard Blain 1958 France Duration: 1:39:25	Of the hallowed group of “Cahiers du cinéma” critics turned filmmakers who transformed French film history, Claude Chabrol was the first to direct his own feature. His absorbing landmark debut, LE BEAU SERGE (“Hansome Serge”), follows a successful yet sickly young man (Jean‑Claude Brialy) who returns home to the small village where he grew up. There, he finds himself at odds with his former close friend (Gérard Blain)—now unhappily married and a wretched alcoholic—and the provincial life he represents. The remarkable and stark LE BEAU SERGE heralded the arrival of a cinematic titan who would go on to craft provocative, entertaining films for five more decades.
	Beautiful Days Directed by Masaki Kobayashi 1955 Japan Duration: 2:00:14	BEAUTIFUL DAYS (1955, aka Uruwashiki Saigetsu) was one of a series of mainstream dramas and romances made by Kobayashi after his flirtation with independent film making on ROOM WITH THICK WALLS. A romantic drama, it put him back in the success column as a filmmaker, working in the popular realm of his mentor Keisuke Kinoshita, but now without the input of the latter or his relatives; and it also brought Kobayashi together with screenwriter Zenzo Matsuyama, with whom he would enjoy a rich creative partnership (culminating with THE HUMAN CONDITION I, II, and III) over the next few years, as he developed his own style and reputation within the studio system.
	Beau travail Directed by Claire Denis Starring Denis Lavant, Michel Subor, Grégoire Colin 1999 France Duration: 1:33:22	With her ravishingly sensual take on Herman Melville’s “Billy Budd, Sailor,” Claire Denis firmly established herself as one of the great visual tone poets of our time. Amid the azure waters and sunbaked desert landscapes of Djibouti, a French Foreign Legion sergeant (Denis Lavant) sows the seeds of his own ruin as his obsession with a striking young recruit (Grégoire Colin) plays out to the thunderous, operatic strains of Benjamin Britten. Denis and cinematographer Agnès Godard fold military and masculine codes of honor, colonialism’s legacy, destructive jealousy, and repressed desire into shimmering, hypnotic images that ultimately explode in one of the most startling and unforgettable endings in all of modern cinema.
	Beauty and the Beast Directed by Jean Cocteau 1946 France Duration: 1:33:49	Jean Cocteau’s sublime adaptation of Mme. Leprince de Beaumont’s fairy-tale masterpiece—in which the pure love of a beautiful girl melts the heart of a feral but gentle beast—is a landmark of motion picture fantasy, with unforgettably romantic performances by Jean Marais and Josette Day. The spectacular visions of enchantment, desire, and death in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (LA BELLE ET LA BÊTE) have become timeless icons of cinematic wonder.
	Because Men in Silk Shirts on Lagos Nights Directed by Arie Esiri 2018 United States Duration: 03:49	Presented here is a short made by Arie Esiri in 2018 for the fashion brand Maki Oh. Shot on celluloid at night in Lagos, Nigeria, the film has eerie postapocalyptic and Afrofuturist overtones.

	Bed and Board Directed by François Truffaut Starring Jean-Pierre Léaud, Claude Jade, Madamoiselle Hiroko 1970 France Duration: 1:37:44	The fourth installment in François Truffaut’s chronicle of the ardent, anachronistic Antoine Doinel, BED AND BOARD plunges his hapless creation once again into crisis. Expecting his first child and still struggling to find steady employment, Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud) involves himself in a relationship with a beautiful Japanese woman that threatens to destroy his marriage. Lightly comic, with a touch of the burlesque, BED AND BOARD is a bittersweet look at the travails of young married life and the fine line between adolescence and adulthood.

	Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead Directed by Sidney Lumet Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei, Ethan Hawke 2007 Duration: 1:56:47	Renowned director Sidney Lumet brought five decades of cinematic mastery to bear in his final film, a riveting thriller that achieves the weight of Greek tragedy. A typically virtuosic Philip Seymour Hoffman stars as Andy, an overextended payroll executive who lures his younger brother, Hank (Ethan Hawke), into a larcenous scheme: the pair will rob a suburban mom-and-pop jewelry store that appears to be the quintessential easy target. The problem is, the store owners are Andy and Hank’s real mom and pop, and when the seemingly perfect crime goes awry, the damage sends them hurtling toward a shattering clash that may obliterate their already precarious family.
	Before the Rain Directed by Milcho Manchevski Starring Grégoire Colin, Katrin Cartlidge, Rade Šerbedžija 1994 Republic of Macedonia Duration: 1:53:26	The first film made in the newly independent Republic of Macedonia, Milcho Manchevski’s BEFORE THE RAIN crosscuts the stories of an orthodox Christian monk (Grégoire Colin), a British photo agent (Katrin Cartlidge), and a native Macedonian war photographer (Rade Šerbedžija) to paint a portrait of simmering ethnic and religious hatred about to reach its boiling point. Made during the strife of the war-torn Balkan states in the nineties, this gripping triptych of love and violence is also a timeless evocation of the loss of pastoral innocence, and remains one of recent cinema’s most powerful laments on the futility of war.
	Behemoth: or the Game of God Directed by Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese Starring Tseko Monaheng 2016 Lesotho Duration: 12:45	A preacher walks the streets of Lesotho’s capital, Maseru, dragging a mysterious coffin whose contents elicit unexpected—and unscripted—reactions from passersby.

As always, Obayashi stuffs each frame to the max with incident and eccentric experimentation, here in the service of creating a rich, vivid sense of a bustling multiethnic community.
	Being Two Isn’t Easy Directed by Kon Ichikawa Starring Hirro Suzuki, Fujiko Yamamoto, Eiji Funakoshi 1962 Japan Duration: 1:27:53	You can say that again! The days leading up to a toddler’s second birthday are seen alternately from the adorable youngster’s point of view and from the perspective of his anxious parents as they navigate the ups, downs, and endless uncertainties of raising a child. Unfolding within the confines of a cramped apartment in 1960s suburban Tokyo, this gentle slice-of-life comedy from director Kon Ichikawa offers an at once humorous and incisive look at the dynamics of postwar Japanese family life.
	Il bell’Antonio Directed by Mauro Bolognini Starring Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Cardinale, Pierre Brasseur 1960 Italy Duration: 1:43:02	Scripted by Pier Paolo Pasolini, IL BELL’ANTONIO is a barbed, melodramatic satire of religion, sex, and society that gives Marcello Mastroianni a chance to play slyly against his suave screen image. He stars as the handsome Sicilian Antonio, whom everyone assumes to be a great lover. When it is revealed that he is actually impotent and that his marriage to his beautiful wife (Claudia Cardinale) is still unconsummated after a year, he finds himself at the center of a town scandal.
	Belle de jour Directed by Luis Buñuel Starring Catherine Deneuve, Jean Sorel, Michel Piccoli 1967 France Duration: 1:40:11	Directed by Luis Buñuel • 1967 • France Starring Catherine Deneuve, Jean Sorel, Michel Piccoli Catherine Deneuve’s porcelain perfection hides a cracked interior in one of the actress’s most iconic roles: Séverine, a Paris housewife who begins secretly spending her afternoon hours working in a bordello. This surreal and erotic late-sixties daydream from provocateur for the ages Luis Buñuel is an examination of desire and fetishistic pleasure (its characters’ and its viewers’), as well as a gently absurdist take on contemporary social mores and class divisions. Fantasy and reality commingle in this burst of cinematic transgression, which was one of Buñuel’s biggest hits.
	Benny’s Video Directed by Michael Haneke Starring Arno Frisch, Angela Winkler, Ulrich Mühe 1992 Austria Duration: 1:50:02	Michael Haneke turns the unflinching gaze of the camera back on itself in this provocative, profoundly disturbing study of emotional disconnection in the age of mass-media saturation. Benny (a frighteningly affectless Arno Frisch), the teenage son of wealthy, disengaged parents, finds release in the world of violent videos—an obsession that leads him to create his own monstrous work of real-life horror. Layering screens within screens and frames within the filmic frame, BENNY’S VIDEO is a coolly postmodern, metacinematic labyrinth in which the boundaries between actual and mediated violence become terrifyingly indistinguishable.
	Bergman Island Directed by Marie Nyreröd 2006 Sweden Duration: 1:23:43	Just four years before his death, legendary filmmaker Ingmar Bergman sat down with Swedish documentarian Marie Nyreröd at his home on Fårö Island to discuss his work, his fears, his regrets, and his ongoing artistic passion. This resulted in the most breathtakingly candid series of interviews that the famously reclusive director ever took part in, later edited into the feature-length film BERGMAN ISLAND. In-depth, revealing, and packed with choice anecdotes about Bergman’s oeuvre, as well as his personal life, Nyreröd’s film is an unforgettable final glimpse of a man who transformed cinema.
	Bergman Island Directed by Mia Hansen-Løve Starring Vicky Krieps, Tim Roth, Mia Wasikowska 2021 France Duration: 1:53:12	Writer-director Mia Hansen-Løve embarks on a luminous summertime odyssey to the home of Ingmar Bergman for her seventh feature, a graceful, shape-shifting tale about the interplay of life and art and the ways in which stories are born. In search of inspiration for their current filmmaking projects, Chris (Vicky Krieps) and her partner (Tim Roth) travel to the remote island of Fårö, Sweden, where Bergman lived and worked for decades. There, the spirit of the cinema master looms as Chris confronts her complicated relationships to work, men, motherhood, and her artistic influences. Also featuring radiant performances from Mia Wasikowska and Anders Danielsen Lie, BERGMAN ISLAND is a rich deconstruction of the mysteries of the creative process and the journey that every film takes from thought to page to screen.

	Betty Blue: Alternate Version Directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix Starring Jean-Hugues Anglade, Béatrice Dalle, Gérard Darmon 1986 France	When the easygoing would-be novelist Zorg (Jean-Hugues Anglade) meets the tempestuous Betty (Béatrice Dalle, in a magnetic breakout performance) in a sunbaked French beach town, it’s the beginning of a whirlwind love affair that sees the pair turn their backs on conventional society in favor of the hedonistic pursuit of freedom, adventure, and carnal pleasure. But as the increasingly erratic Betty’s grip on reality begins to falter, Zorg finds himself willing to do things he never expected to protect both her fragile sanity and their tenuous existence together. Adapted from the hit novel “37°2 le matin” by Philippe Djian, Jean-Jacques Beineix’s art-house smash—presented here in its extended director’s cut—is a sexy, crazy, careening joyride of a romance that burns with the passion and beyond-reason fervor of all-consuming love.
	Beware of a Holy Whore Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder 1970 Germany Duration: 1:44:01	In Rainer Werner Fassbinder's brazen depiction of the alternating currents of lethargy and mayhem inherent in moviemaking, a film crew, played by, and not so loosely based on, his own frequent collaborators, deals with an aloof star (Eddie Constantine), an abusive director (Lou Castel), and a financially troubled production. Inspired by the hellish process of making Whity earlier the same year, this is a vicious look at behind-the-scenes dysfunction.
	Beyond All Barriers Directed by Lee Ji-won 1988 South Korea Duration: 1:32:35	BEYOND ALL BARRIERS is another feature-length record of the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games.

	Beyond the Hills Directed by Cristian Mungiu Starring Cristina Flutur, Cosmina Stratan 2012 Romania Duration: 2:32:15	With this arresting drama based on notorious real-life events, Cristian Mungiu mounts a complex inquiry into faith, fanaticism, and indifference. At a desolate Romanian monastery, a young novice nun, Voichita (Cosmina Stratan), reunites with her former companion Alina (Cristina Flutur), who plans to take her to Germany. But Voichita proves unwilling to abandon her calling, and Alina becomes increasingly desperate to reclaim her devotion, putting the outsider at odds with the monastery's ascetic priest, and precipitating a painfully misguided, brutal attempt to save her soul. A naturalistic tragedy with the dark force of a folktale, anchored by the fraught dynamic between cinema newcomers Flutur and Stratan (who shared the best actress prize at Cannes), BEYOND THE HILLS bears powerful witness to individuals at cross-purposes and institutions ill-equipped to help those most in need.
	Beyond the Law Directed by Norman Mailer 1968 United States Duration: 1:38:14	Mailer's belief that we're all capable of being either police or criminals was the impetus for his second feature, which takes place over the course of one feverish night in a Manhattan police precinct and neighboring bar. The texture of the black-and-white stock and the intense depiction of the police lineup process lend the film a rugged, journalistic feel. In addition to Mailer, who cast himself as tough-guy Irish cop Francis Xavier Pope, Beyond the Law features Rip Torn and George Plimpton.
	Bezhin Meadow Directed by Sergei Eisenstein 1937 Soviet Union Duration: 26:23	Banned and destroyed by Stalin in 1937, BEZHIN MEADOW is the story of a boy killed by his father for informing on him.

The 1967 reconstruction, by Naum Kleiman of the Eisenstein Museum and Sergei Yutkevich of Gosfilmofond, places these frames in order, approximating the original film.

In poverty-stricken postwar Rome, a man is on his first day of a new job that offers hope of salvation for his desperate family when his bicycle, which he needs for work, is stolen. With his young son in tow, he sets off to track down the thief. Simple in construction and profoundly rich in human insight, BICYCLE THIEVES embodies the greatest strengths of the Italian neorealist movement: emotional clarity, social rectitude, and brutal honesty.

	The Bird with the Crystal Plumage Directed by Dario Argento Starring Tony Musante, Suzy Kendall, Eva Renzi 1970 Italy Duration: 1:36:39	In his stunning first film as writer-director, Dario Argento singlehandedly created the giallo genre and instantly emerged as the filmmaker critics worldwide hailed as the “Italian Hitchcock.” Tony Musante and Suzy Kendall star in this stylish, pulse-pounding suspense thriller about an American writer in Rome who witnesses, but is helpless to stop, a brutal assault; the cunning vengeance of a maniac; and the heart-stopping horror that lives—and kills—deep in the dark.

Both a socially conscious look at the hardships endured by underpaid field workers and a melodrama tinged with sex and violence, this early smash for producer extraordinaire Dino De Laurentiis and director Giuseppe De Santis is neorealism with a heaping dose of pulp.
	The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder Starring Margit Carstensen, Hanna Schygulla, Katrin Schaake 1972 West Germany Duration: 2:04:42	In the early 1970s, Rainer Werner Fassbinder discovered the American melodramas of Douglas Sirk and was inspired by them to begin working in a new, more intensely emotional register. One of the first and best-loved films of this period in his career is THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT, which balances a realistic depiction of tormented romance with staging that remains true to the director’s roots in experimental theater. This unforgettable, unforgiving dissection of the imbalanced relationship between a haughty fashion designer (Margit Carstensen) and a beautiful but icy ingenue (Hanna Schygulla)—based, in a sly gender reversal, on the writer-director’s own desperate obsession with a young actor—is a true Fassbinder affair, featuring exquisitely claustrophobic cinematography by Michael Ballhaus and full-throttle performances by an all-female cast.
	Black Fantasy Directed by Lionel Rogosin 1972 United States Duration: 1:18:16	An uncompromising, often discomfitingly frank look at the complexities of interracial relationships in America, this rarely seen documentary unfolds from the perspective of Jim Collier, a Black musician married to a white woman, as he expounds, with sometimes startling honesty, upon the political, sexual, racial, and power dynamics that define his relationship. Manifesting Collier’s thoughts and fantasies in highly stylized images, director Lionel Rogosin forces viewers to confront the charged realities of a taboo subject.
	Black Girl Directed by Ousmane Sembène Starring M'Bissine Thérèse Diop 1966 Senegal Duration: 59:42	Directed by Ousmane Sembène • 1966 • Senegal, France Starring M'Bissine Thérèse Diop Ousmane Sembène was one of the greatest and most groundbreaking filmmakers who ever lived, as well as the most renowned African director of the twentieth century—and yet his name still deserves to be better known in the rest of the world. He made his feature debut in 1966 with the brilliant and stirring BLACK GIRL. Sembène, who was also an acclaimed novelist in his native Senegal, transforms a deceptively simple plot—about a young Senegalese woman who moves to France to work for a wealthy white family and finds that life in their small apartment becomes a prison, both figuratively and literally—into a complexly layered critique of the lingering colonialist mind-set of a supposedly postcolonial world. Featuring a moving central performance by M’Bissine Thérèse Diop, BLACK GIRL is a harrowing human drama as well as a radical political statement—and one of the essential films of the 1960s. Restored by the Cineteca di Bologna/L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory, in association with the Sembène Estate; INA, Institut National de l’Audiovisuel; Éclair; and the Centre National de Cinématographie. Restoration funded by The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project.
	Black God, White Devil Directed by Glauber Rocha Starring Geraldo Del Rey, Yoná Magalhães, Othon Bastos 1964 Brazil Duration: 2:01:00	Myth, mysticism, and revolution collide in a blistering existential western from Glauber Rocha, a pioneer of Brazil’s socially committed Cinema Novo movement. After killing his swindling boss, ranch hand Manoel (Geraldo Del Rey) goes on the run with his wife, Rosa (Yoná Magalhães). In the stark hinterlands, they join forces with armed bandits and pledge allegiance to a self-styled holy man who preaches revolt against rich landowners while perpetrating unspeakable acts of violence against the innocent. Suffused with antiauthoritarian fervor and the intensity of life in the desert, this landmark work of radical cinema is a scorched-earth allegory about mindless fanaticism and the allure of dead-end ideologies.
	BLACK JOURNAL: Alice Coltrane Directed by Stan Lathan 1970 United States Duration: 12:42	In this intimate portrait—produced for a segment of National Education Television's “Black Journal” television program—legendary jazz musician Alice Coltrane plays the harp and discusses her thoughts on music, spirituality, family, and the legacy of her late husband, John Coltrane.

	#Blackmendream Directed by Shikeith 2014 United States Duration: 45:39	This experimental documentary mines the psycho-emotional landscape of Black masculinity.

What emerges is a candid glimpse into a subject that is virtually taboo in many Black communities and in society at large: the complex, often vulnerable emotional lives of Black men
	Black Moon Directed by Louis Malle Starring Cathryn Harrison, Joe Dallesandro, Thérèse Ghiese 1975 France Duration: 1:40:30	Louis Malle meets Lewis Carroll in this bizarre and bewitching trip down the rabbit hole. After skirting the horrors of a mysterious war being waged in the countryside, beautiful young Lily (Cathryn Harrison) takes refuge in a remote farmhouse, where she becomes embroiled in the surreal domestic life of an extremely unconventional family. Evocatively shot by cinematographer Sven Nykvist, BLACK MOON is a Freudian tale of adolescent sexuality set in a postapocalyptic world of shifting identities and talking animals. It is one of Malle’s most experimental films and a cinematic daydream like no other.
	Black Narcissus Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger Starring Deborah Kerr, Sabu, David Farrar 1947 United Kingdom Duration: 1:41:05	This explosive work about the conflict between the spirit and the flesh is the epitome of the sensuous style of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. A group of nuns—played by some of Britain’s finest actresses, including Deborah Kerr, Kathleen Byron, and Flora Robson—struggle to establish a convent in the Himalayas, while isolation, extreme weather, altitude, and culture clashes all conspire to drive the well-intentioned missionaries mad. A darkly grand film that won Oscars for Alfred Junge's art direction and Jack Cardiff's cinematography, BLACK NARCISSUS is one of the greatest achievements by two of cinema’s true visionaries.
	Black Orpheus Directed by Marcel Camus Starring Breno Mello, Marpessa Dawn, Lourdes de Oliveira 1959 France Duration: 1:47:49	Winner of both the Academy Award for best foreign-language film and the Cannes Film Festival’s Palme d’Or, Marcel Camus’ BLACK ORPHEUS (ORFEU NEGRO) brings the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice to the twentieth-century madness of Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. With its eye-popping photography and ravishing, epochal soundtrack, BLACK ORPHEUS was an international cultural event, and it kicked off the bossa nova craze that set hi-fis across America spinning.
	Black Panthers Directed by Agnès Varda 1970 France Duration: 28:42	Agnès Varda turns her camera on an Oakland demonstration against the imprisonment of activist and Black Panthers cofounder Huey P.

Restoration funding provided by the Annenberg Foundation, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and The Film Foundation.
	Black Peter Directed by Miloš Forman Starring Ladislav Jakim, Pavla Martínková, Jan Vostrčil 1964 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:30:30	One of the first films to herald the arrival of the Czechoslovak New Wave, Miloš Forman’s stylistically inventive debut narrative feature follows the bumbling teenager of the title (Ladislav Jakim) over the course of a directionless summer as he starts (and fails at) a new job, flirts awkwardly, and grows increasingly exasperated with his parents. A refreshingly frank, unromanticized coming-of-age portrait, BLACK PETER captures the bewildering experience of adolescence with both empathy and sly humor.
	Black River Directed by Masaki Kobayashi 1956 Japan Duration: 1:50:19	Perhaps Masaki Kobayashi's most sordid film, BLACK RIVER examines the rampant corruption on and around U.S. military bases in Japan following World War II. Kobayashi spirals out from the story of a love triangle that develops between a good-natured student, his innocent girlfriend, and a coldhearted petty criminal (Tatsuya Nakadai, in his first major role) to reveal a nation slowly succumbing to lawlessness and violence.
	Black Roots Directed by Lionel Rogosin 1970 United States Duration: 1:02:42	Director Lionel Rogosin’s fourth feature is a unique oral history that uses song and bittersweet stories to illustrate the difficulties of Black people living in 1970s America. The extraordinary cast—including Reverend Frederick Douglass Kirkpatrick, attorney and feminist activist Florynce “Flo” Kennedy, musicians Jim Collier, Wende Smith, Larry Johnson, and Reverend Gary Davis—tell stories of heartbreak and despair while their songs blow the roof off the rafters. A deeply humanist film, BLACK ROOTS combines tales of oppression with gorgeous images of the faces of Black men, women, and children.
	Blacks Britannica Directed by David Koff 1978 United Kingdom Duration: 56:56	Banned in Britain for its supposedly incendiary message, this riveting documentary offers a searing analysis of structural racism in Britain. Featuring incisive contributions from activists and everyday citizens, BLACKS BRITANNICA paints a devastating portrait of the ways that nearly every pillar of British society—from law enforcement to the educational system to the media—has worked to create a Black underclass. Meanwhile, the growing resistance of a new generation of Black Britons is reflected in the blistering live performance from UK roots reggae act Steel Pulse that bookends the film.
	Black Something Directed by David Zellner and Nathan Zellner 2016 United States Duration: 03:15	In late 2015, “Bright Ideas” magazine commissioned the Zellner Bros. to make a short piece in response to a Criterion Collection release that they considered inspiring. The brothers chose Louis Malle’s wild, hallucinogenic BLACK MOON (1975).
	Black Sun Directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara 1964 Japan Duration: 1:35:01	You've probably never seen anything quite like this manic, oddball, anti-buddy picture about a young, jazz-obsessed Japanese drifter and a Black American GI on the lam in Tokyo. The two outsiders become outlaws, and Koreyoshi Kurahara depicts their growing bond as an alternately absurd and tragic culture clash. The film features original music by American jazz drummer Max Roach.
	Black Sunday Directed by Mario Bava Starring Barbara Steele, John Richardson, Andrea Checchi 1960 Duration: 1:26:33	Italian maestro Mario Bava left his first indelible mark on horror cinema with this gothically stylized tale of witchcraft and revenge, loosely based on Nikolai Gogol’s oft-adapted short story “Viy.” In her signature role, Barbara Steele plays a seventeenth-century Moldavian witch who is tortured and condemned to death for sorcery—but not before vowing to get even with her killers. Two hundred years later, her curse comes to pass as she rises from the grave to take possession of a descendant (also Steele) and exact retribution.
	Blaise Pascal Directed by Roberto Rossellini 1972 Italy Duration: 2:09:51	In this evocative, atmospheric biography, Roberto Rossellini brings to life philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal, who, amid religious persecution and ignorance, believed in a harmony between God and science.
	Blanche Fury Directed by Marc Allégret Starring Valerie Hobson, Stewart Granger, Michael Gough 1948 United Kingdom Duration: 1:34:42	Velvety Technicolor graces this shivery, gothic noir-melodrama (based on a true crime), in which poor governess Blanche Fullerton (Valerie Hobson) moves up in society when she marries her wealthy cousin Laurence Fury (Michael Gough). She may now be mistress of the sprawling Fury estate, but the bored Blanche wants more—and she finds it in a torrid affair with handsome stableman Philip Thorn (Stewart Granger). Thorn has his own designs on the estate, and together he and Blanche hatch a deadly plot to steal it for themselves.
	Blaze Directed by Ethan Hawke Starring Ben Dickey, Alia Shawkat, Josh Hamilton 2018 United States Duration: 2:08:49	He was the greatest country singer you’ve (probably) never heard of: a genius, a loser, a philosopher, a drunk, a poet, a rebel, and a ramblin’ man who lived each day of his too-short life on his own terms. With humor and heart, Ethan Hawke unravels the myth of Blaze Foley (Ben Dickey), a gentle Texan troubadour whose incredible talent was married to a roller-coaster personal life. Weaving together the strands of Foley’s complex story—his passionate affair with a bohemian actor (Alia Shawkat); his raucous friendship with fellow hell-raiser Townes Van Zandt (Charlie Sexton); his shocking death; and, of course, the music that made him a legend—BLAZE is an intimate, hugely moving portrait of a musician whose gift deserves to be rediscovered and cherished.
	The Blazing Sun Directed by Youssef Chahine Starring Omar Sharif, Faten Hamama, Zaki Rostom 1954 Egypt Duration: 1:56:35	Omar Sharif makes a striking film debut in this powerful working-class melodrama. He stars as the engineer son of a peasant who finds himself torn between love and land when he begins a romance with the daughter (Arab screen icon Faten Hamama) of a wealthy landlord (Zaki Rostom) who is intent on destroying the livelihoods of the farmers in his village. Bearing the unmistakable influence of Italian neorealism, THE BLAZING SUN is a landmark of Egyptian social-issue filmmaking that introduced a class-conscious edge to director Youssef Chahine’s work.
	Bless Their Little Hearts Directed by Billy Woodberry Starring Nate Hardman, Kaycee Moore, Angela Burnett 1984 United States Duration: 1:25:43	Scripted and shot by Charles Burnett, Billy Woodberry’s slice-of-life revelation is a key masterpiece of the LA Rebellion, the black independent-cinema renaissance that emerged from UCLA’s film school in the 1970s and ’80s. BLESS THEIR LITTLE HEARTS distills the social concerns and neorealist aesthetics of the movement into a sensitive exploration of the inner workings of community and family that pays homage to the power of the blues. Searching for steady work, Charlie Banks (Nate Hardman) views his chronic unemployment as a kind of spiritual trial. But day work and selling a few catfish can’t sustain a family of five. While his wife Andais (a remarkable Kaycee Moore) works to support them with dignity, Charlie finds comfort for his wounded sense of manhood in an affair that threatens his marriage and family.
	Bleue Directed by Ornella Pacchioni 2021 France Duration: 19:18	Thirteen-year-old Lucie is alone during the summer holidays when she meets a mysterious boy named Léo. Though she sees him as a remedy for her loneliness, strange events come to pass as they spend time together.
	Blind Chance Directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski Starring Bogusław Linda 1981 Poland Duration: 2:03:16	Before he stunned the cinematic world with the epic series DEKALOG and the THREE COLORS trilogy, the great Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieślowski made his first work of metaphysical genius, BLIND CHANCE, a compelling drama about the difficulty of reconciling political ideals with personal happiness. This unforgettable film follows Witek (the magnetic Bogusław Linda), a medical student with an uncertain future in Communist Poland; Kieślowski dramatizes Witek’s journey as a series of different possibilities, suggesting that chance rules our lives as much as choice does. First suppressed and then censored by the Polish government, BLIND CHANCE is here presented in its complete original form.
	Blithe Spirit Directed by David Lean Starring Rex Harrison, Margaret Rutherford, Kay Hammond 1945 United Kingdom Duration: 1:36:14	BLITHE SPIRIT, David Lean’s delightful film version of Noël Coward’s theater sensation (onstage, it broke London box-office records before hitting Broadway), stars Rex Harrison as a novelist who cheekily invites a medium (Margaret Rutherford) to his house to conduct a séance, hoping the experience will inspire a book he’s working on. Things go decidedly not as planned when she summons the spirit of his dead first wife (Kay Hammond), a severe inconvenience for his current one (Constance Cummings). Employing Oscar-winning special effects to spruce up Coward’s theatrical farce, BLITHE SPIRIT is a sprightly supernatural comedy with winning performances.
	The Blob Directed by Irvin S. Yeaworth Jr. Starring Steve McQueen, Aneta Corsaut, Earl Rowe 1958 United States Duration: 1:22:49	Directed by Irvin S. Yeaworth Jr. • 1958 • United States Starring Steve McQueen, Aneta Corsaut, Earl Rowe A cult classic of gooey greatness, THE BLOB follows the havoc wreaked on a small town by an outer-space monster with neither soul nor vertebrae, with Steve McQueen playing the rebel teen who tries to warn the residents about the jellylike invader. Strong performances and ingenious special effects help THE BLOB transcend the schlock sci-fi and youth delinquency genres from which it originates. Made outside of Hollywood by a maverick film distributor and a crew whose credits mostly comprised religious and educational shorts, THE BLOB helped launch the careers of McQueen and composer Burt Bacharach, whose bouncy title song is just one of this film’s many unexpected pleasures.
	Blondie of the Follies Directed by Edmund Goulding Starring Marion Davies, Robert Montgomery, Billie Dove 1932 United States Duration: 1:31:25	Two girls, friends from the New York slums, take very different paths in their quest for fame and fortune in BLONDIE OF THE FOLLIES. Practical working girl Blondie (former Ziegfeld girl Marion Davies, whose real-life experiences informed the script by Frances Marion and Anita Loos) has her head turned by the world of her showgirl buddy Lottie (Billy Dove)—and by Lottie’s suave suitor, Larry (Robert Montgomery). When she is cast in a Broadway show, Blondie strives to keep her friendships with Lottie and Larry on the level, but her conflicting emotions and ambitions prove difficult to reconcile. Director Edmund Goulding deftly balances mirth and heartache, even poking momentary fun at his recent GRAND HOTEL, with Davies and Jimmy Durante riffing on Garbo and Barrymore.
	Blood and Black Lace Directed by Mario Bava Starring Cameron Mitchell, Eva Bartok, Thomas Reiner 1964 Italy Duration: 1:28:34	Director Mario Bava cemented his reputation as the master of Italian horror with this deliriously stylized thriller, one of the foundational works of the giallo genre and an influence on directors ranging from Dario Argento to Martin Scorsese. The Christian Haute Couture fashion house is a home to models . . . and backstabbing . . . and blackmail . . . and drug deals . . . and, now, murder. The saga begins when a beautiful model is brutally killed, and her boyfriend, a known addict supplying her drugs, is suspected of the crime.

	The Blood of a Poet Directed by Jean Cocteau Starring Enrique Rivero, Lee Miller, Jean Desbordes 1930 France Duration: 51:11	“Poets . . . shed not only the red blood of their hearts but the white blood of their souls,” proclaimed Jean Cocteau of his groundbreaking first film—an exploration of the plight of the artist, the power of metaphor, and the relationship between art and dreams. One of cinema’s great experiments, this first installment of the Orphic Trilogy stretches the medium to its limits in an effort to capture the poet’s obsession with the struggle between the forces of life and death.
	Blood of the Beasts Directed by Georges Franju 1949 France Duration: 22:12	This 1949 documentary by Georges Franju looks at the brutal reality of Paris’s abattoirs, while employing a disarmingly beautiful visual style.
	Blood Simple Directed by Joel Coen Starring John Getz, Frances McDormand, Dan Hedaya 1984 United States Duration: 1:35:39	Directed by Joel Coen • 1984 • United States Starring John Getz, Frances McDormand, Dan Hedaya Joel and Ethan Coen’s career-long darkly comic road trip through misfit America began with this razor-sharp, hard-boiled neonoir set somewhere in Texas, where a sleazy bar owner releases a torrent of violence with one murderous thought. Actor M. Emmet Walsh looms over the proceedings as a slippery private eye with a yellow suit, a cowboy hat, and no moral compass, and Frances McDormand’s cunning debut performance set her on the road to stardom. The tight scripting and inventive style that have marked the Coens’ work for decades are all here in their first film, in which cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld abandons black-and-white chiaroscuro for neon signs and jukebox colors that combine with Carter Burwell’s haunting score to lurid and thrilling effect. Blending elements from pulp fiction and low-budget horror flicks, BLOOD SIMPLE reinvented the film noir for a new generation, marking the arrival of a filmmaking ensemble that would transform the American independent cinema scene.

In order to keep up with the requests of the demanding customers, they hire Youssef (Ayoub Missioui).

	Blue Steel Directed by Kathryn Bigelow Starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Ron Silver, Clancy Brown 1990 United States Duration: 1:41:54	Action auteur Kathryn Bigelow renders this sleek and stylish police thriller with almost painterly abstraction. Day one on the force, and rookie cop Megan Turner (Jamie Lee Curtis) faces suspension for shooting an allegedly unarmed man—and then the bodies start piling up, ostensibly killed with her gun. Shot through with a palpable, danger-at-every-turn sense of unease, BLUE STEEL is a fascinating blend of art-house aesthetics, psychosexual implication, and unfiltered action.

Winner of five Hong Kong Film Awards—including best picture and director—Hui’s masterpiece gives harrowing expression to the experiences of those living under authoritarian oppression.

One of Agnès Varda’s most provocative films, LE BONHEUR (“Happiness”) examines, with a deceptively cheery palette and the spirited strains of Mozart, the ideas of fidelity and happiness in a modern, self-centered world.
	Bonnie and Clyde Directed by Arthur Penn Starring Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Gene Hackman 1967 United States Duration: 1:50:49	The film that forever changed Hollywood filmmaking, Arthur Penn’s New Hollywood landmark injected a jolt of fresh energy into the studio system with its kinetic style and frank depiction of sex and violence.

	Border Radio Directed by Allison Anders, Dean Lent, and Kurt Voss Starring Chris D., Luanna Anders, John Doe 1987 United States Duration: 1:23:39	Before carving out a niche as one of the most distinct voices in nineties American cinema, Allison Anders made her debut, alongside codirectors and fellow UCLA film school students Kurt Voss and Dean Lent, with 1987’s BORDER RADIO. A low-key, semi-improvised postpunk diary that took four years to complete, BORDER RADIO features legendary rocker Chris D., of the Flesh Eaters, as a singer/songwriter who has stolen loot from a club and gone missing, leaving his wife (Luanna Anders), a no-nonsense rock journalist, to track him down with the help of his friends (John Doe of the band X; Chris Shearer). With its sprawling Southern Californian and Mexican landscapes, captured in evocative 16mm black and white, BORDER RADIO is a singular, DIY memento of the indie film explosion in America.

	Born in Flames Directed by Lizzie Borden Starring Honey, Adele Bertei, Jean Satterfield 1983 United States Duration: 1:20:39	The film that rocked the foundations of the 1980s underground, this postpunk provocation is a DIY fantasia of female rebellion set in America ten years after a social-democratic cultural revolution. When Adelaide Norris (Jean Satterfield), the black revolutionary founder of the Woman’s Army, is mysteriously killed, a diverse coalition of women—across all lines of race, class, and sexual orientation—emerges to blow the system apart. Filmed guerrilla style on the streets of pre-gentrification New York, BORN IN FLAMES is a Molotov cocktail of feminist futurism that’s both an essential document of its time and radically ahead of it. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives with restoration funding from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and The Film Foundation.

	Boudu Saved from Drowning Directed by Jean Renoir Starring Michel Simon, Charles Granval, Marcelle Hainia 1932 France Duration: 1:25:12	Michel Simon gives one of the most memorable performances in screen history as Boudu, a Parisian tramp who takes a suicidal plunge into the Seine and is rescued by a well-to-do bookseller, Edouard Lestingois (Charles Granval). The Lestingois family decides to take in the irrepressible bum, and he shows his gratitude by shaking the household to its foundations. With BOUDU SAVED FROM DROWNING, legendary director Jean Renoir takes advantage of a host of Parisian locations and the anarchic charms of his lead actor to create an effervescent satire of the bourgeoisie.

	The Bowery Directed by Sara Driver 1994 United States Duration: 10:41	Produced for the French television series POSTCARDS FROM NEW YORK, this short documentary captures the poetry of the city’s storied skid row before its gentrification.
	Boy Directed by Nagisa Oshima Starring Tetsuo Abe, Fumio Watanabe, Akiko Koyama 1969 Japan Duration: 1:37:38	Firebrand auteur Nagisa Oshima offers a devastating vision of moral rot within postwar Japanese society in the form of a hauntingly sad family tragedy. Inspired by a scandalous true story, BOY follows ten-year-old Toshio (Tetsuo Abe, an orphan whose real life mirrored the tumultuous upbringing of his character) whose grifter parents use him as a pawn in a scheme to stage car accidents and then extort money from the drivers. As the family crisscrosses Japan in an increasingly desperate attempt to elude the law, Toshio escapes into an imaginary world of science-fiction fantasy and space aliens that he dreams will deliver him from his harrowing existence. Applying the blistering stylistic experimentation of his earlier Japanese New Wave touchstones with newfound restraint, Oshima adopts a relatively sober docudrama approach that proves no less shocking and subversive in its emotionally annihilating portrait of a stolen childhood.
	Boyfriend in Sight Directed by Luis García Berlanga Starring Josette Arno, Jorge Vico, Julia Caba Alba 1954 Spain Duration: 1:26:52	The often unruly in-betweenness of adolescence is the subject of this bittersweet comedy from director Luis García Berlanga. It’s the summer of 1918 and fifteen-year-old Loli (Josette Arno) has been whisked away by her parents to a beach resort with the hope of finding her a suitable husband. But her parents’ meddling ways soon incite backlash from Loli’s friends, who launch a youthful rebellion against adulthood on her behalf.

	Boyhood Directed by Richard Linklater Starring Ellar Coltrane, Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke 2014 United States Duration: 2:45:34	Directed by Richard Linklater • 2014 • United States Starring Ellar Coltrane, Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke There has never been another movie like BOYHOOD, from director Richard Linklater. An event film of the utmost modesty, it was shot over the course of twelve years in the director’s native Texas and charts the physical and emotional changes experienced by a child named Mason (Ellar Coltrane), his divorced parents (Patricia Arquette, who won an Oscar for her performance, and Ethan Hawke), and his older sister (Lorelei Linklater). Alighting not on milestones but on the small, in-between moments that make up lives, Linklater fashions a flawlessly acted, often funny portrait that flows effortlessly from one year to the next. Allowing us to watch people age on film with documentary realism while gripping us in a fictional narrative of exquisite everydayness, BOYHOOD has a power that only the art of cinema could harness.
	Boy Meets Girl Directed by Leos Carax Starring Denis Lavant, Mireille Perrier, Carroll Brooks 1984 France Duration: 1:44:29	The first feature by Leos Carax (made when he was just twenty-three years old) is an intoxicating, lusciously stylized evocation of a nocturnal Paris populated by moody misfits and lost souls. Among them are Alex (Denis Lavant), an aspiring filmmaker whose girlfriend has just left him for his best friend, and Mireille (Mireille Perrier), a young woman who is contemplating suicide after being jilted by her lover. Over the course of a night, the two find themselves joined by fate in a passionate romance alive to both the ecstasy and ennui of youth.
	The Boys from Fengkuei Directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien Starring Doze Niu Cheng-Tse, Zhang Shi, Lin Hsiu-Ling 1983 Taiwan Duration: 1:39:57	THE BOYS FROM FENGKUEI was Hou Hsiao-hsien’s fourth film as director, but in many ways it can be viewed as his first mature work—the one in which he moved away from commercial comedies toward a more rigorous, naturalistic mode of storytelling. Four aimless friends from the small village of Fengkuei spend their days drinking, fighting, gambling and goofing off. When three of them head to the port city of Kaohsiung in search of urban adventure, they find themselves reckoning with the realities of work, love, and death in a world they’re not prepared to face.
	The Boy Who Walked Backwards Directed by Thomas Vinterberg 1995 Denmark Duration: 38:52	Presented here is a short film by Thomas Vinterberg. THE BOY WHO WALKED BACKWARDS (Drengen der gik baglæns, 1995) follows a young boy as he exhibits signs of obsessive-compulsive disorder following the death of his older brother. The film was a breakthrough for Vinterberg, winning the best drama award at the 1995 Toronto Short Film Festival.
	Branded to Kill Directed by Seijun Suzuki Starring Joe Shishido, Koji Nanbara, Isao Tamagawa 1967 Japan Duration: 1:31:59	When Japanese New Wave bad boy Seijun Suzuki delivered this brutal, hilarious, and visually inspired masterpiece to the executives at his studio, he was promptly fired. BRANDED TO KILL tells the ecstatically bent story of a yakuza assassin with a fetish for sniffing steamed rice (the chipmunk-cheeked superstar Joe Shishido) who botches a job and ends up a target himself. This is Suzuki at his most extreme—the flabbergasting pinnacle of his sixties pop-art aesthetic.
	The Bread and Alley Directed by Abbas Kiarostami Starring Reza Hashemi, Mehdi Shahravanfar 1970 Iran Duration: 12:04	“The mother of all my films,” according to Abbas Kiarostami, starts out as a breezily observed anecdote about a boy wending his way home through Tehran alleys carrying a loaf of bread. Variations on both the boy and the old man he sees and begins to follow will factor into future Kiarostami films, as will the use of “dead time,” the journey structure, and the poetic articulation of space. The final scene, involving a dog and a door, ends things on a note of wry ambiguity.
	Breaker Morant Directed by Bruce Beresford Starring Edward Woodward, Jack Thompson, John Waters 1980 Australia Duration: 1:47:25	At the turn of the twentieth century, three Australian army lieutenants are court-martialed for alleged war crimes committed while fighting in South Africa. With no time to prepare, an Australian major, appointed as defense attorney, must prove that they were just following orders and are being made into political pawns by the British imperial command. Director Bruce Beresford garnered international acclaim for this riveting drama set during a dark period in his country’s colonial history, and featuring passionate performances by Edward Woodward, Bryan Brown, and Jack Thompson; rugged cinematography by Donald McAlpine; and an Oscar-nominated script, based on true events.
	The Breaking Ice Directed by Anthony Chen Starring Zhou Dongyu, Liu Haoran, Qu Chuxiao 2023 China Duration: 1:40:20	Three lost souls find tentative connection in a frozen world in this delicate, lyrical tone poem of youthful alienation and longing. In cold, wintry Yanji, a city on China’s northeastern border, young urbanite Haofeng (Liu Haoran), visiting from Shanghai, feels lost and adrift. By chance, he goes on a tour led by Nana (Zhou Dongyu), a charming guide who instantly fascinates him and who introduces him to Xiao (Qu Chuxiao), a personable but frustrated restaurant worker. Over the course of a drunken weekend, the three quickly bond as they confront their individual traumas and their desires slowly thaw.
	Breaktime Directed by Abbas Kiarostami Starring Sirous Hassanpour 1972 Iran Duration: 15:47	Disciplined at school for breaking a window, a boy joins throngs of his schoolmates as they make a cacophonous exit into Tehran’s streets. He then briefly joins an impromptu soccer game but disrupts it by stealing the ball and running away, and ends up drifting aimlessly along a busy highway. Free of dialogue but using nonsynchronous concrete sound throughout, this moody film shows Abbas Kiarostami expanding his visual vocabulary with zooms and crane and helicopter shots.
	Breathless Directed by Jean-Luc Godard 1960 France Duration: 1:30:45	There was before BREATHLESS, and there was after BREATHLESS. Jean-Luc Godard burst onto the film scene in 1960 with this jazzy, free-form, and sexy homage to the American film genres that inspired him as a writer for “Cahiers du cinèma.” With its lack of polish, surplus of attitude, anything-goes crime narrative, and effervescent young stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, BREATHLESS helped launch the French New Wave and ensured that cinema would never be the same.
	Bride of Frankenstein Directed by James Whale Starring Boris Karloff, Elsa Lanchester, Colin Clive 1935 United States Duration: 1:14:48	In James Whale’s celebrated sequel to his 1931 horror classic, Mary Shelley’s monster forces his creator, Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive), to make him a mate. Horror icon Boris Karloff reprises his role as the fabled monster, Elsa Lanchester costars as both Shelley and Karloff’s outrageously coiffed lady love, and Whale pulls off one of cinema’s all-time great sequels by imbuing the macabre proceedings with a distinctively queer, camp sensibility.
	The Bridge Directed by Bernhard Wicki Starring Karl Michael Balzer, Folker Bohnet, Michael Hinz 1959 Germany Duration: 1:43:11	Bernhard Wicki’s astonishing THE BRIDGE was the first major antiwar film to come out of Germany after World War II, as well as the nation’s first postwar film to be widely shown internationally, even securing an Oscar nomination. Set near the end of the conflict, it follows a group of teenage boys in a small town as they contend with everyday matters like school, girls, and parents, before enlisting as soldiers and being forced to defend their home turf in a confused, terrifying battle. This expressively shot, emotionally bruising drama dared to humanize young German soldiers at a historically tender moment, and proved influential for the coming generation of New German Cinema auteurs.

	Brief Encounter Directed by David Lean Starring Celia Johnson, Trevor Howard 1945 United Kingdom Duration: 1:27:00	After a chance meeting on a train platform, a married doctor (Trevor Howard) and a suburban housewife (Celia Johnson) begin a muted but passionate, and ultimately doomed, love affair. With its evocatively fog-enshrouded setting, swooning Rachmaninoff score, and pair of remarkable performances (Johnson was nominated for an Oscar), this film, directed by David Lean and based on Noël Coward’s play “Still Life” deftly explores the thrill, pain, and tenderness of an illicit romance, and has influenced many a cinematic brief encounter since its release.
	A Brief History of Time Directed by Errol Morris 1991 United States Duration: 1:23:57	Errol Morris turns his camera on one of the most fascinating men in the world: the pioneering astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, afflicted by a debilitating motor neuron disease that has left him without a voice or the use of his limbs. An adroitly crafted tale of personal adversity, professional triumph, and cosmological inquiry, Morris’s documentary examines the way the collapse of Hawking’s body has been accompanied by the untrammeled broadening of his imagination. Telling the man’s incredible story through the voices of his colleagues and loved ones, while making dynamically accessible some of the theories in Hawking’s best-selling book of the same name, A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME is at once as small as a single life and as big as the ever-expanding universe.
	A Brighter Summer Day Directed by Edward Yang Starring Chang Chen, Lisa Yang, Chang Kuo-hu 1991 Taiwan Duration: 3:56:35	Directed by Edward Yang • 1991 • Taiwan Starring Chang Chen, Lisa Yang, Chang Kuo-hu Among the most praised and sought-after titles in all contemporary film, this singular masterpiece of Taiwanese cinema, directed by Edward Yang, finally comes to home video in the United States. Set in the early sixties in Taiwan, A BRIGHTER SUMMER DAY is based on the true story of a crime that rocked the nation. A film of both sprawling scope and tender intimacy, this novelistic, patiently observed epic centers on the gradual, inexorable fall of a young teenager (Chen Chang, in his first role) from innocence to juvenile delinquency, and is set against a simmering backdrop of restless youth, rock and roll, and political turmoil. Restored in 2009 by the Cineteca di Bologna/L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory, in association with The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project, the Central Motion Picture Corporation, and the Edward Yang Estate. Scan performed at Digimax laboratories in Taipei. Restoration funded by Armani, Cartier, Qatar Airways, and Qatar Museum Authority.
	Bright Future Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa Starring Tadanobu Asano, Joe Odagiri, Tatsuya Fuji 2003 Japan Duration: 1:55:18	This fascinatingly disorienting and quietly apocalyptic tale of alienated youth is one of director Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s most idiosyncratic and arresting films. Enigmatic factory worker Mamoru (Tadanobu Asano) lives alone with his poisonous but entrancingly luminous jellyfish, which stings anyone who gets too close. Mamoru’s intense antisocial behavior is echoed by his coworker and sole friend, Yuji (Joe Odagiri), with whom he shares a deep-seated dislike of their boss Fujiwara (Takashi Sasano). After Mamoru murders both Fujiwara and his wife, Yuji is entrusted with the care of the lethal jellyfish—setting into motion a haunting and surreal chain of events that ultimately threatens to destroy all of Tokyo.
	Brighton Rock Directed by John Boulting Starring Richard Attenborough, Hermione Baddeley, William Hartnell 1948 United Kingdom Duration: 1:32:37	One of darkest and most sordid of all British noirs, this startlingly bleak, violent adaptation of the novel by Graham Greene delves into the seedy underbelly of the seaside resort city of Brighton, where psychotic, baby-faced gangster Pinkie Brown (a frighteningly menacing Richard Attenborough) leads a band of razor-wielding hoodlums terrorizing the town. When the murder of a rival spirals out of control, Pinkie resorts to increasingly desperate measures to elude detection, while a brassy showgirl turned amateur detective (Hermione Baddeley) closes in on him.
	Brink of Life Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Ingrid Thulin, Eva Dahlbeck, Bibi Andersson 1958 Sweden Duration: 1:25:00	At the height of his international acclaim, Ingmar Bergman followed two meditations on death, THE SEVENTH SEAL and WILD STRAWBERRIES, with an examination of the mystery and pain of birth. This intimate chamber drama, set in a maternity ward, follows the emotional crises of three women as they grapple with motherhood. Another major success for the director that was also recognized for its exquisite performances by Ingrid Thulin, Eva Dahlbeck, and Bibi Andersson, BRINK OF LIFE is one of Bergman’s most brilliantly nuanced explorations of the inner lives of women.
	Broken Drum Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita 1949 Japan Duration: 1:49:14	When the future of his construction company falls into danger, a controlling father pushes his children into unsatisfying marraiges and careers in order to regain financial stability. Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita.

	The Brood Directed by David Cronenberg Starring Oliver Reed, Samantha Eggar, Art Hindle 1979 Canada Duration: 1:32:26	A disturbed woman is receiving a radical form of psychotherapy at a remote, mysterious institute. Meanwhile, her five-year-old daughter, under the care of her estranged husband, is being terrorized by a group of demonic beings. How these two story lines connect is the shocking and grotesque secret of this bloody tale of monstrous parenthood from David Cronenberg, starring Oliver Reed and Samantha Eggar. With its combination of psychological and body horror, THE BROOD laid the groundwork for many of the director’s films to come, but it stands on its own as a personal, singularly scary vision.
	Brothers and Sisters of the Toda Family Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Starring Mieko Takamine, Shin Saburi, Hideo Fujino 1941 Japan Duration: 1:44:59	Following a three-year break from filmmaking while he completed military service, Yasujiro Ozu returned to directing with this pointed family drama which in many ways anticipates the themes he would explore again in TOKYO STORY. His distinctive, contemplative rhythms are on beautiful display in the story of a widow (Ayako Katsuragi) who discovers that her recently deceased husband has left her with nothing but debt and married children who are unwilling to support her—until her most forceful son (Shin Saburi) returns from China and shakes things up.
	The Browning Version Directed by Anthony Asquith Starring Michael Redgrave, Jean Kent, Nigel Patrick 1951 United Kingdom Duration: 1:30:14	Michael Redgrave gives the performance of his career in Anthony Asquith’s adaptation of Terence Rattigan’s unforgettable play. Redgrave portrays Andrew Crocker-Harris, an embittered, middle-aged schoolmaster who begins to feel that his life has been a failure. Diminished by poor health, a crumbling marriage, and the derision of his pupils, the once brilliant scholar is compelled to reexamine his life when a young student offers an unexpected gesture of kindness. A heartbreaking story of remorse and atonement, THE BROWNING VERSION is a classic of British realism and the winner of best actor and best screenplay honors at the 1951 Cannes Film Festival.
	Brussels Film Loops/Gestures/World Kitchen Directed by Shirley Clarke and D. A. Pennebaker 1957 United States Duration: 58:53	Shown at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair, these loops by directors Shirley Clarke and D. A. Pennebaker were intended to display American life to the world.
	Brute Force Directed by Jules Dassin Starring Burt Lancaster, Hume Cronyn, Charles Bickford 1947 United States Duration: 1:40:54	As hard-hitting as its title, BRUTE FORCE was the first of Jules Dassin’s forays into the crime genre, a prison melodrama that takes a critical look at American society as well. Burt Lancaster is the timeworn Joe Collins, who, along with his fellow inmates, lives under the heavy thumb of the sadistic, power-tripping guard Captain Munsey (a riveting Hume Cronyn). Only Collins’s dreams of escape keep him going, but how can he possibly bust out of Munsey’s chains? Matter-of-fact and ferocious, BRUTE FORCE builds to an explosive climax that shows the lengths men will go to when fighting for their freedom.
	Buddies Directed by Arthur J. Bressan, Jr. Starring Geoff Edholm, David Schachter, Billy Lux 1985 United States Duration: 1:19:05	The first feature-length drama about AIDS remains an urgent and timeless record of an entire era in gay history. When twenty-five-year-old gay yuppie David (David Schachter) volunteers to be a “buddy” to an AIDS patient, the community center assigns him to Robert (Geoff Edholm), a politically impassioned gay California gardener abandoned by his friends and lovers. As David is changed by knowing Robert, so, too, are we. In the simplicity of the story and the elegance of its unfolding, this groundbreaking independent film by Arthur J. Bressan Jr.—his last before his own death from AIDS—achieves a rare perfection.
	Bud Greenspan Presents Vancouver 2010, Stories of Olympic Glory Directed by Bud Greenspan and Nancy Beffa 2010 United States Duration: 1:56:39	This chronicle of the XXI Olympic Winter Games Vancouver 2010 would be Bud Greenspan’s last before his death in 2010. His time-honored approach to these films was by this point familiar, and here he brings a valedictory flourish to his suite of ten Olympic documentaries.
	Bud Greenspan’s Athens 2004: Stories of Olympic Glory Directed by Bud Greenspan 2004 United States Duration: 1:36:42	For his documentary on the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad in Athens, Bud Greenspan decided to take a more selective approach, focusing only on five other disciplines and sports apart from the staple track and field: swimming, softball, fencing, cycling, and weight lifting.
	Bud Greenspan’s Torino 2006: Stories of Olympic Glory Directed by Bud Greenspan 2007 United States Duration: 1:28:13	In addition to covering the XX Olympic Winter Games of 2006 in Turin, Bud Greenspan’s documentary offers an excellent introduction to Turin's significance in history, art, and commerce. Faithful to his habit, the director fleshes out coverage of the actual competitions with interviews and portraits of the principal protagonists.
	Buena Vista Social Club Directed by Wim Wenders 1999 United States Duration: 1:45:19	Traveling from the streets of Havana to the stage of Carnegie Hall, this revelatory documentary captures a forgotten generation of Cuba’s brightest musical talents as they enjoy an unexpected encounter with world fame. The veteran vocalists and instrumentalists collaborated with American guitarist and roots-music champion Ry Cooder to form the Buena Vista Social Club, playing a jazz-inflected mix of cha-cha, mambo, bolero, and other traditional Latin American styles, and recording an album that won a Grammy and made them an international phenomenon. In the wake of this success, director Wim Wenders filmed the ensemble’s members—including golden-voiced Ibrahim Ferrer and piano virtuoso Rubén González—in a series of illuminating interviews and live performances. The result is one of the most beloved documentaries of the 1990s, and an infectious ode to a neglected corner of Cuba’s prerevolutionary heritage.

Drummond's sweetheart, Phyllis Clavering (Angel), is abducted by Norman Merridew (Hall), whose friendship with her family takes a back seat to his greedy designs on Phyllis' inheritance. Drummond goes to the eerie manor house where Phyllis is being held, but he's not the only one who ventures there to get to the bottom of the kidnaping; incognito as usual, Scotland Yard inspector Nielson (Standing) is also very much on the case. Other offers and obligations prevented Milland from repeating this role, but here he makes a solid, if somewhat breezy, Drummond.
	Bulldog Drummond in Africa Directed by Louis King 1938 United States Duration: 58:15	Capt. (ret.) Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond, with his fiancee Phyllis and valet Algy are off to Africa to help find Hugh's old friend Col. Nielson of Scotland Yard, who has been kidnapped.

Drummond pursues Armides across the Channel and over French rooftops en route to his wedding rendezvous with Phyllis.

	Bullfight Directed by Shirley Clarke Starring Anna Sokolow 1955 United States Duration: 09:18	Shirley Clarke’s fascination with dance is on full display in this short film featuring a moving performance by Anna Sokolow. A reinterpretation of a bullfight, Sokolow’s choreographed piece illustrates the dramatic exchange between a bovine beast and a matador. Clarke further charges the routine by intercutting it with footage from an actual bullfight.
	Bullshot Directed by Dick Clement Starring Alan Shearman, Ronald E. House, Diz White 1983 United Kingdom Duration: 1:26:07	This goofily good-natured slapstick parody of the popular gentleman-adventurer series Bulldog Drummond (played on film, perhaps most famously, by Ronald Colman in the 1930s) brings us the decidedly less capable Bullshot Crummond (Alan Shearman), a World War I fighter pilot, sleuth, race-car driver, and Olympic athlete. Here, our ultra-British, square-jawed hero must overcome his own bumbling in order defeat the evil Count Otto van Bruno (Ronald E. House), who is plotting to destroy England, and save a damsel in distress (Diz White).

	Burden of Dreams Directed by Les Blank 1982 United States Duration: 1:34:59	For nearly five years, acclaimed German filmmaker Werner Herzog desperately tried to complete one of the most ambitious and difficult films of his career, FITZCARRALDO, the story of one man’s attempt to build an opera house deep in the Amazon jungle. Documentary filmmaker Les Blank captured the unfolding of this production, made more perilous by Herzog’s determination to shoot the most daunting scenes without models or special effects, including a sequence requiring hundreds of native Indians to pull a full-size, 320-ton steamship over a small mountain. The result is an extraordinary document of the filmmaking process and a unique look into the single-minded mission of one of cinema’s most fearless directors.
	Burden of Life Directed by Heinosuke Gosho 1935 Japan Duration: 1:06:50	In Heinosuke Gosho's subtle slice-of-life comedy, an aging couple struggle to pay for their daughters' marriages while keeping their much younger son from feeling left out.

A private, thought to be dead, disguises himself as a Buddhist monk and stumbles upon spiritual enlightenment. THE BURMESE HARP is an eloquent meditation on beauty coexisting with death and remains one of Japanese cinema’s most overwhelming antiwar statements, both tender and brutal in its grappling with Japan’s wartime legacy.
	Burroughs: The Movie Directed by Howard Brookner 1983 United States Duration: 1:30:07	Directed by Howard Brookner • 1983 • United States Made up of intimate, revelatory footage of the singular author and poet filmed over the course of five years, Howard Brookner’s 1983 documentary about William S. Burroughs was for decades mainly the stuff of legend; that changed when Aaron Brookner, the late director’s nephew, discovered a print of it in 2011 and spearheaded a restoration.

	By Way of Canarsie Directed by Emily Packer and Lesley Steele 2020 United States Duration: 14:11	A wandering portrait of an oft-neglected shoreline community, BY WAY OF CANARSIE imagines possible futures at odds with a peaceful present.

	Caballerango Directed by Juan Pablo González 2018 Mexico Duration: 58:57	Death haunts a close-knit Mexican community in this evocatively spare, slow-burn documentary spellbinder. With a remarkably unobtrusive camera, director Juan Pablo González chronicles the everyday rituals and rhythms of life in a small, struggling rural town in the state of Jalisco where daily conversation seemingly turns again and again to one topic: the recent suicide of a young caballerango (horse wrangler) whose death, we soon learn, is only the latest in a rash of suicides that have plagued the village. Finding stirring poignancy in seemingly quotidian moments, CABALLERANGO is a transcendentally sad and beautiful reflection on vanishing traditions and disappearing lives.
	Caesar and Cleopatra Directed by Gabriel Pascal 1945 United Kingdom Duration: 2:08:04	Vivien Leigh and Claude Rains pop off the screen in vivid Technicolor in Gabriel Pascal's version of Shaw's 1901 play about love and politics in ancient Rome and Egypt. At the time the most expensive British film ever produced (complete with real imported Egyptian sand), Caesar and Cleopatra is a lavish epic, featuring standout performances by its two stars.

	Cairo Station Directed by Youssef Chahine Starring Youssef Chahine, Farid Shawqi, Hind Rostom 1958 Egypt Duration: 1:17:05	Youssef Chahine established his international reputation with this masterpiece, which, though initially a commercial flop at home, would become one of the most influential and celebrated works in all of Arab cinema. The director himself stars as Qinawi, a simpleton newspaper hawker whose obsession with a sultry drink seller (Hind Rostom, the so-dubbed “Marilyn Monroe of Arabia”) leads to tragedy of operatic proportions on the streets of Cairo. Blending elements of neorealism (naturalistic dialogue, location shooting, and a vivid evocation of labor struggle in the postwar epoch) with provocative noir-melodrama (lust, jealousy, madness, and murder), CAIRO STATION is a work of raw populist poetry that explores the individual’s search for a place in Egypt’s new political order.
	Cake Walk Directed by Ulysses Jenkins 1983 United States Duration: 26:43	This video documents “Cake Walk,” an installation and performance piece by artist Houston Conwill, staged in November 1983 at Linda Goode Bryant’s pioneering New York gallery Just Above Midtown. The piece refers to the cakewalk dance that developed in the eighteenth century among enslaved African Americans as, among other things, a way to covertly ridicule slaveholders. The dancers in “Cake Walk” move amid Conwill’s sculptures and paintings, with one of the artist’s cosmograms painted on the floor beneath them.
	Calamity Directed by Věra Chytilová Starring Bolek Polívka, Dagmar Bláhová, Jana Synková 1982 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:40:52	In Věra Chytilová’s biting sex satire, a young college dropout (Bolek Polívka in his first of multiple collaborations with the director) navigates both a new job as a train driver and the amorous advances of multiple women. Though on the surface a relatively straightforward romantic comedy (all the better to fool the censors), CALAMITY is consistently subversive in its ironic commentary on the bureaucratic failings of Czech society.
	Calcutta Directed by Louis Malle 1969 France Duration: 1:39:31	When he was cutting Phantom India, Louis Malle found that the footage shot in Calcutta was so diverse, intense, and unforgettable that it deserved its own film. The result, released theatrically, is at times shocking--a chaotic portrait of a city engulfed in social and political turmoil, edging ever closer to oblivion.
	Calendar Directed by Atom Egoyan Starring Arsinée Khanjian, Ashot Adamyan, Atom Egoyan 1993 Canada Duration: 1:13:30	Atom Egoyan’s at once witty and devastating investigation of identity, memory, and displacement stars the director as a Canadian photographer who, while on an assignment shooting churches in Armenia, finds himself growing increasingly estranged from his wife (Arsinée Khanjian)—the beginning of a rift that will haunt him into the future. Unfolding in a fragmented, time-scrambling structure and told in part through a telephone answering machine, CALENDAR is a rich and profound reflection on emotional and cultural alienation.
	Calgary ’88: 16 Days of Glory Directed by Bud Greenspan 1989 United States Duration: 3:22:13	Bud Greenspan was fascinated by the ways in which athletes confront victory and defeat, and this runs like a bass line through the various interviews he conducted for his tribute to the XV Olympic Winter Games, CALGARY '88: 16 DAYS OF GLORY. Greenspan's diligent archival research enhances his documentaries and sets each athlete's performance in a historical context.
	California Split Directed by Robert Altman Starring George Segal, Elliott Gould, Ann Prentiss 1974 United States Duration: 1:48:29	Robert Altman’s distinctive brand of loose-limbed naturalism reached sublime heights with this freewheeling buddy comedy. Elliott Gould and George Segal make for one of the most delightfully offbeat duos of the 1970s as Charlie Walters and Bill Denny, two compulsive gamblers with nothing in common except for incredibly bad luck. But after a chance meeting at an LA card parlor, these two losers find that together they make an unbeatable team. Embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime winning streak, Bill and Charlie bet their way from the tacky racetracks and bars of Los Angeles to the plush casino tables of Reno—but how long can their luck hold out?

	The Callers Directed by Lindsey Dryden 2024 United Kingdom Duration: 19:48	THE CALLERS combines anonymous documentary testimony with imagined creative scenes to tell the story of those who have called the oldest queer support line in the UK, seeking guidance on everything from where to find the nearest leather club to how to come out, start a family, or mend a broken heart. The film is a love letter to queer memory and possibility, LGBTQ+ community and care, and the power of collective imagination to create our dream lives.
	Call Your Father Directed by Jordan Firstman Starring Craig Chester, Jordan Firstman 2016 United States Duration: 19:11	Usually a reserved guy, Greg struggles to keep up with young, unpredictable Josh on their first date.

	Cameraperson Directed by Kirsten Johnson 2016 United States Duration: 1:42:38	Directed by Kirsten Johnson • 2016 • United States A boxing match in Brooklyn; life in postwar Bosnia and Herzegovina; the daily routine of a Nigerian midwife; an intimate family moment at home with the director: Kirsten Johnson weaves these scenes and others into her film CAMERAPERSON, a tapestry of footage captured over her twenty-five-year career as a documentary cinematographer. Through a series of episodic juxtapositions, Johnson explores the relationships between image makers and their subjects, the tension between the objectivity and intervention of the camera, and the complex interaction of unfiltered reality with crafted narrative. A work that combines documentary, autobiography, and ethical inquiry, CAMERAPERSON is a moving glimpse into one filmmaker’s personal journey and a thoughtful examination of what it means to train a camera on the world.
	Cane Fire Directed by Anthony Banua-Simon 2020 United States Duration: 1:29:42	The Hawaiian island of Kauaʻi is seen by many as a paradise of leisure and pristine natural beauty, but these escapist fantasies obscure the colonial displacement, hyperexploitation of workers, and destructive environmental extraction that have actually shaped life on the island for the last 250 years. This illuminating documentary critically examines the island’s history—and the various strategies by which Hollywood has represented it—through four generations of director Anthony Banua-Simon’s family, who first immigrated to Kauaʻi from the Philippines to work on the sugar plantations. Assembled from a diverse array of sources—from Banua-Simon’s observational footage to amateur YouTube travelogues to epic Hollywood musical sequences—CANE FIRE offers a kaleidoscopic portrait of the economic and cultural forces that have cast Indigenous and working-class residents as “extras” in their own story.
	Cane Toads: An Unnatural History Directed by Mark Lewis Starring Tip Byrne, Glen Ingram, H. W. Kerr 1988 Australia Duration: 49:12	Mark Lewis takes the nature documentary into new realms of the humorous, surreal, and downright bizarre with this stranger-than-fiction tale of the ultimate environmental self-own. The cane toad—Bufo marinus, a species native to Central America—was imported by the sack-load to Australia in 1935 in an attempt to rid the country of the greyback beetle, which was rapidly destroying the sugarcane crop. The toads adapted beautifully to their new surroundings. Problem was, the beetle could fly and they couldn’t. What the cane toad is unusually proficient at, however, is making more cane toads—thousands upon thousands more. CANE TOADS: AN UNNATURAL HISTORY tells the wild story of this amphibious assault—warts and all.
	Cane Toads: The Conquest Directed by Mark Lewis 2010 Australia Duration: 1:24:02	Two decades after his cult documentary CANE TOADS: AN UNNATURAL HISTORY first brought the story to the screen, director Mark Lewis invites you to join the cane toads on their unstoppable journey across the Australian continent as they leave behind them a broken trail of human folly, endless controversy, and a series of extraordinary close encounters. Meet the scientists, community groups, politicians, and ordinary people who have crossed their path, and discover the incredible and ongoing story behind one of Australia’s most notorious environmental blunders. Poignant and hilarious, CANE TOADS: THE CONQUEST is the irreverent, comic, and provocative true story about the great Australian menace.
	Canoa: A Shameful Memory Directed by Felipe Cazals Starring Enrique Lucero, Ernesto Gómez Cruz, Rodrigo Puebla 1976 Mexico Duration: 1:55:08	One of Mexico's most highly regarded works of political cinema, CANOA: A SHAMEFUL MEMORY reimagines a real-life incident that had occurred just eight years before its release, when a group of urban university employees on a hiking trip were viciously attacked by residents of the village of San Miguel Canoa who had been manipulated by a corrupt priest into believing the travelers were communist revolutionaries. Director Felipe Cazals adopts a gritty documentary style to narrate the events in CANOA while referencing the climate of political repression that would lead to the massacre of student protesters in Mexico City shortly thereafter. The resulting film is a daring commentary on ideological manipulation, religious fanaticism, and mass violence, as well as a visceral expression of horror.

Set amid the tumult of the Second World War, yet with a rhythm as delicate as a lullaby, the film follows three modern-day incarnations of Chaucer’s pilgrims—a melancholy “landgirl,” a plainspoken American GI, and a resourceful British sergeant—who are waylaid in the English countryside en route to the mythical town and forced to solve a bizarre village crime. Building to a majestic climax that ranks as one of the filmmaking duo’s finest achievements, the dazzling A CANTERBURY TALE has acquired a following of devotees passionate enough to qualify as pilgrims themselves.
	The Canyons Directed by Paul Schrader Starring Lindsay Lohan, James Deen, Gus Van Sant 2013 United States Duration: 1:39:41	“American Psycho” author Bret Easton Ellis and acclaimed director Paul Schrader join forces for this daring and infamously divisive erotic thriller about youth, glamour, sex, and surveillance.

When Christian becomes aware of Tara’s infidelity, the young Angelenos are thrust into a violent, sexually charged tour through the dark side of human nature.
	Capricious Summer Directed by Jiří Menzel 1968 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:16:46	Two years after his worldwide hit CLOSELY WATCHED TRAINS, Jiří Menzel directed this amusing idyll about three middle-aged men whose mellow summer is interrupted by the arrival of a circus performer and his beautiful assistant. A meditation on aging and sex, shot in warm, sun-dappled color, CAPRICIOUS SUMMER is one of the New Wave’s loveliest reveries.
	Captain Conan Directed by Bertrand Tavernier Starring Philippe Torreton, Samuel Le Bihan, Bernard Le Coq 1996 France Duration: 2:12:53	Bertrand Tavernier delves into the murky morality of wartime in this complex human drama. Following the signing of the armistice in the waning days of World War I, the courageous Captain Conan (Philippe Torreton) and his ruthless band of soldiers find themselves caught in a military limbo in the Balkans. Neither fighting nor fully demobilized, the men resort to the only thing they have been trained to do: kill.

	La captive Directed by Chantal Akerman Starring Sylvie Testud, Stanislas Merhar, Olivia Bonamy 2000 France Duration: 1:58:41	Adapting the fifth volume of Marcel Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time,” Chantal Akerman transforms the material into a mesmerizing study of voyeurism, control, and sexual obsession centered on the relationship between a possessive young man (Stanislas Merhar) and his passive lover (Sylvie Testud), whom he is convinced is carrying on a lesbian affair. As he relentlessly stalks her every move, the two find themselves imprisoned in a cycle of jealousy, erotic longing, and self-destruction.
	The Card Directed by Ronald Neame Starring Alec Guinness, Glynis Johns 1952 United States Duration: 1:31:11	Starring Alec Guinness, Glynis Johns Alec Guinness and Glynis Johns are at their best in THE CARD, a story of an enterprising young man determined to succeed in a hard, cruel world. In the course of his upward climb, he meets an equally sharp-witted and conscienceless young dancing-school director. Their various entanglements are happy combinations of the romantic and the treacherous . . . until Guinness’s “card” plays one last, surprising trick.
	Career Girls Directed by Mike Leigh Starring Katrin Cartlidge, Lynda Steadman, Kate Byers 1997 United States Duration: 1:27:10	In Mike Leigh’s poignant, deceptively modest follow-up to his international triumph SECRETS & LIES, former college roommates Hannah (Katrin Cartlidge) and Annie (Lynda Steadman) meet again for the first time in six years. The reunion takes them back and forth in a journey through time as they reflect on who they were, who they’ve become, and the complicated history that they share together. With a mix of tender humor and piercing human insight, Leigh offers an intimate, quietly affecting portrait of a friendship weathering the ups, downs, and surprises that life brings.

	Carnival of Souls Directed by Herk Harvey Starring Candace Hilligoss, Frances Feist, Sidney Berger 1962 United States Duration: 1:18:11	Directed by Herk Harvey • 1962 • United States Starring Candace Hilligoss, Frances Feist, Sidney Berger A young woman (Candace Hilligoss) in a small Kansas town survives a drag race accident, then agrees to take a job as a church organist in Salt Lake City. En route, she is haunted by a bizarre apparition that compels her toward an abandoned lakeside pavilion. Made by industrial filmmakers on a small budget, the eerily effective B-movie classic CARNIVAL OF SOULS was intended to have “the look of a Bergman and the feel of a Cocteau”—and, with its strikingly used locations and spooky organ score, it succeeds. Herk Harvey’s macabre masterpiece gained a cult following on late-night television and continues to inspire filmmakers today.
	Carrots & Peas Directed by Hollis Frampton 1969 United States Duration: 06:38	“I thought of the film as a set of ironies upon the form of the art history through its little vocabulary of images; the language is there as a kind of empty sign of the distraction of the lecturing voice, which, if you’re actually looking at the images, goes in one ear and out the other. Of course, the first time anybody ever looked at the film out of my control, they immediately ran the track backwards.” - Hollis Frampton
	The Cars That Ate Paris Directed by Peter Weir Starring Terry Camilleri, John Meillon, Kevin Miles 1974 Australia Duration: 1:28:02	The debut feature from Australian New Wave legend Peter Weir is a brilliantly original blend of cracked comedy and macabre horror that Stanley Kubrick selected as one his all-time favorite films. Woe be to any outsider who inadvertently stumbles upon the insular outback town of Paris, where the strange citizens subsist through a most unusual economy: deliberately causing car accidents and then salvaging the wreckage for profit. Survivors, if there are any, are similarly harvested for medical experiments. But not all is well in Paris. One unwilling resident (Terry Camilleri) senses something amiss, while the town’s teenage youths have begun a disturbing revolt of their own.
	CARTESIUS: Episode 1 Directed by Roberto Rossellini 1974 Italy	As profoundly simple as its hero's famous statement “I think, therefore I am,” Roberto Rossellini's CARTESIUS is an intimate, psychological study of obsession and existential crisis.
	CARTESIUS: Episode 2 Directed by Roberto Rossellini 1974 Italy	As profoundly simple as its hero's famous statement “I think, therefore I am,” Roberto Rossellini's CARTESIUS is an intimate, psychological study of obsession and existential crisis.

	Casque d’or Directed by Jacques Becker Starring Simone Signoret, Serge Reggiani, Claude Dauphin 1952 France Duration: 1:38:41	Jacques Becker lovingly evokes the belle epoque Parisian demimonde in this classic tale of doomed romance. When gangster’s moll Marie (Simone Signoret) falls for reformed criminal Manda (Serge Reggiani), their passion incites an underworld rivalry that leads inexorably to treachery and tragedy. With poignant, nuanced performances and sensuous black-and-white photography, CASQUE D'OR (GOLDEN MARIE) is Becker at the height of his cinematic powers, a romantic masterpiece.
	The Cassandra Cat Directed by Vojtěch Jasný Starring Jan Werich, Emília Vášáryová, Vlastimil Brodský 1963 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:45:05	In this modern-day fairy tale and rediscovered Czech New Wave cult classic, an ordinary Bohemian village is visited by a magician (Jan Werich), his beautiful assistant (Emília Vásáryová), and a magic cat with the power to reveal people in colors that indicate their true natures: yellow for the unfaithful, purple for liars, red for lovers like Robert (Vlastimil Brodský), a bighearted schoolteacher whose independence of thought places him at odds with the town’s conservative authorities. When the cat reveals the villagers as they really are and the town descends into whimsical chaos, humorless school principal Karel (Jiří Sovák) vows to hunt down the feline and put an end to its anarchic reign. Ahead of its time in experimenting with stylized color and extended political metaphor, THE CASSANDRA CAT is director Vojtěch Jasný’s triumphant excursion into fantasy as a mirror of real-life social divisions and hypocrisies.
	The Castle Directed by Michael Haneke 1997 Austria Duration: 2:10:30	Michael Haneke's adaptation of Franz Kafka's absurdist novel follows a land surveyor as he struggles with the increasingly difficult and bureaucratic practices of the local authorities.

	The Cat’s Paw Directed by Sam Taylor Starring Harold Lloyd, Una Merkel, George Barbier 1934 United States Duration: 1:42:25	Silent-comedy legend Harold Lloyd’s fourth sound film is an outlandish, Capraesque political satire in which he plays Ezekiel Cobb, a naive young man raised by missionaries in China, who is brought to America to help a corrupt political boss by running for mayor of a California town as a dummy candidate. Things don’t go according to plan, however, when the idealistic Cobb wins the election and sets out to reform the city—enlisting the help of the local Chinese American community in his quest. Please be advised: this film contains offensive racial stereotypes, slurs, and yellowface.
	Ceddo Directed by Ousmane Sembène Starring Mamadou Dioumé, Ousmane Sembène, Tabata Ndiaye 1977 Senegal Duration: 1:56:53	In precolonial Senegal, members of the Ceddo (or “outsiders”) kidnap Princess Dior Yacine (Tabata Ndiaye) after her father, the king, pledges loyalty to an ascendant Islamic faction that plans to convert the entire clan to its faith. Attempts to recapture her fail, provoking further division and eventual war between the animistic Ceddo and the fundamentalist Muslims, with Christian missionaries and slave traders from Europe also playing a role in the conflict. Banned in Senegal upon its release, CEDDO is an ambitious, multilayered epic that explores the combustible tensions among ancient tradition, religious colonization, political expediency, and individual freedom.
	Ceiling Directed by Věra Chytilová Starring Marta Kanovská, Julián Chytil, Josef Abrhám 1962 Czechoslovakia Duration: 43:08	Informed by the director’s experiences working as a fashion model, Věra Chytilová’s remarkably assured graduation film—which she was able to make only by duping state censors with a phony script—mixes vérité observation and New Wave stylistic experimentation to depict the everyday life of a model (Marta Kanovská), the ways in which her body is commodified by the industry, and the alienation she feels.
	The Celebration Directed by Thomas Vinterberg Starring Ulrich Thomsen, Henning Moritzen, Thomas Bo Larsen 1998 Denmark Duration: 1:45:35	The Danish Dogme 95 movement that struck world cinema like a thunderbolt began with THE CELEBRATION, Thomas Vinterberg’s international breakthrough, a lacerating chamber drama that uses the economic and aesthetic freedoms of digital video to achieve annihilating emotional intensity. On a wealthy man’s sixtieth birthday, a sprawling group of family and friends convenes at his country estate for a celebration that soon spirals into bedlam, as bombshell revelations threaten to tear away the veneer of bourgeois respectability and expose the traumas roiling beneath. The dynamic handheld camera work, grainy natural lighting, cacophonous diegetic sound, and raw performance style that would become Dogme hallmarks enhance the shattering visceral impact of this caustic indictment of patriarchal failings, which swings between blackest comedy and bleakest tragedy as it turns the sick soul of a family inside out.
	Céline and Julie Go Boating Directed by Jacques Rivette Starring Juliet Berto, Dominique Labourier, Bulle Ogier 1974 France Duration: 3:14:10	Whiling away a summer in Paris, director Jacques Rivette, working in close collaboration with his stars and coconspirators Juliet Berto and Dominique Labourier, set out to rewrite the rules of cinema in the spirit of pure play—moviemaking as an anything-goes romp through the labyrinths of imagination. The result is one of the most exuberantly inventive and utterly enchanting films of the French New Wave, in which Julie (Labourier), a daydreaming librarian, meets Céline (Berto), an enigmatic magician, and together they become the heroines of a time-warping adventure involving a haunted house, psychotropic candy, and a murder-mystery melodrama. Incorporating allusions to everything from Lewis Carroll to Louis Feuillade, CÉLINE AND JULIE GO BOATING is both one of the all-time-great hangout comedies and a totally unique, enveloping cinematic dream space that delights in the endless pleasures and possibilities of stories.
	Celluloid Man Directed by Shivendra Singh Dungarpur Starring P. K. Nair, Krzysztof Zanussi, Lester James Peries 2012 India Duration: 2:36:39	An engaging, heartfelt look at one man’s battle to preserve his nation’s cinematic heritage, CELLULOID MAN is an intimate portrait of legendary Indian archivist P. K. Nair, who founded the National Film Archive of India to safeguard his country’s rapidly vanishing film history at a time when film restoration was largely disregarded. Tracing Nair’s profound influence on Indian cinema—from rescuing early silent films to mentoring a new generation of directors—filmmaker-archivist Shivendra Singh Dungarpur crafts both an inspiring tribute to a tireless cinephile warrior and an urgent call to preserve our moving-image legacy before it is too late.

And how long can the truth really be repressed?
	La cérémonie Directed by Claude Chabrol Starring Sandrine Bonnaire, Isabelle Huppert, Jacqueline Bisset 1995 France Duration: 1:52:15	Claude Chabrol’s forty-ninth feature stands as the crowning achievement of his prolific career—a coolly riveting study of class dynamics, the psychology of crime, and the sordid secrets lurking beneath the veneer of everyday life. A fascinatingly enigmatic, César Award–winning Isabelle Huppert is the chaotic yin to Sandrine Bonnaire’s tightly coiled yang. They are, respectively, a small-town postal worker and a maid to a wealthy family, a pair of outsiders who form a mysterious alliance that gradually, almost imperceptibly, goes haywire. With a master’s control of sound, editing, and suspense, Chabrol constructs a tour de force of sustained tension that delivers each brilliant shock with ice-pick precision.
	The Ceremony Directed by Nagisa Oshima Starring Kenzo Kawarasaki, Atsuko Kaku, Atsuo Nakamura 1971 Japan Duration: 2:02:58	One of the greatest and most subversive films by renegade director Nagisa Oshima launches a scathing attack on postwar Japanese society via a portrait of one family, the Sakurada clan, whose increasingly desperate attempts to maintain an outward veneer of respectability mask a pathological history of incest, xenophobic nationalism, failure, and humiliation. Their decline is portrayed via a procession of weddings and funerals that, in their perversity and air of suffocating dread, unfold as a radical rejoinder to the well-worn conventions of the Japanese family melodrama.
	A Certain Morning Directed by Fanta Régina Nacro Starring Abdoulaye Komboudri, Andromaque Nacro, Hyppolite Ouangrawa 1991 Burkina Faso Duration: 15:46	The first film by a Burkinabé woman, A CERTAIN MORNING is a provocative look at cinematic illusions versus deadly realities. Riga is a farmer who lives peacefully with his wife and children on the Mossi plateau. When he hears a woman calling for help one day, his entire world is called into question.
	Certain Women Directed by Kelly Reichardt Starring Laura Dern, Kristen Stewart, Michelle Williams 2016 United States Duration: 1:47:34	Directed by Kelly Reichardt • 2016 • United States Starring Laura Dern, Kristen Stewart, Michelle Williams The expanses of the American West take center stage in this intimately observed triptych from Kelly Reichardt. Adapted from three short stories by Maile Meloy and unfolding in self-contained but interlocking episodes, CERTAIN WOMEN navigates the subtle shifts in personal desire and social expectation that unsettle the circumscribed lives of its characters: a lawyer (Laura Dern) forced to subdue a troubled client; a wife and mother (Michelle Williams) whose plans to construct her dream home reveal fissures in her marriage; and a night-school teacher (Kristen Stewart) who forms a tenuous bond with a lonely ranch hand (Lily Gladstone), whose longing for connection delivers an unexpected jolt of emotional immediacy. With unassuming craft, Reichardt captures the rhythms of daily life in small-town Montana through these fine-grained portraits of women trapped within the landscape’s wide-open spaces.
	Certified Copy Directed by Abbas Kiarostami Starring Juliette Binoche, William Shimell 2010 Iran Duration: 1:47:18	The great Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami travels to Tuscany for a luminous and provocative romance in which nothing is as it appears. What seems at first to be a straightforward tale of two people—played by Oscar-winning actress Juliette Binoche and opera singer William Shimell—getting to know each other over the course of an afternoon gradually reveals itself as something richer, stranger, and trickier: a mind-bending reflection on authenticity, in art as well as in relationships. Both cerebrally and emotionally engaging, CERTIFIED COPY reminds us that love itself is an enigma.
	César Directed by Marcel Pagnol 1936 France Duration: 2:21:20	In the final chapter of The Marseille Trilogy, Marcel Pagnol returns his compassionate gaze to his weathered characters as they discover the possibility of reconciliation and the durability of love. Leaping forward twenty years, the trilo'gy continues with the death of Fanny's husband, Panisse, and the discovery of her secret by her son, Césariot. The young man resolves to track down his biological father, Marius, whose life has been fraught with calamity and poverty.

In Bridgeport, Connecticut, a teenage girl is found hanged in her room. While everything points to suicide, the autopsy report reveals something else. Ten years later, the director examines the causes and consequences of this unsolved crime. Like an imagined biography, CETTE MAISON explores the relationship between the security of home and the violence that can jeopardize it.
	Chafed Elbows Directed by Robert Downey Sr. 1966 United States Duration: 58:05	This riot of bad taste was a breakthrough for Robert Downey Sr., thanks to rave notices. Visualized largely in still 35 mm photographs, it follows a shiftless downtown Manhattanite having his “annual November breakdown” as he wanders from one odd job to the next, coming across all sorts of sordid types, from a desperate independent filmmaker to a destitute dirty-sock sniffer. And there is something to offend everyone: incest, murder, bad pop songs, you name it. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives, with funding provided by The Film Foundation.
	Chains Directed by Raffaello Matarazzo 1949 Italy Duration: 1:34:38	After years of making mostly comedies and literary adaptations, Raffaello Matarazzo turned to melodrama with this intense tale of a tight-knit working-class family shattered by temptation.

The direction of mountaineer-turned-filmmaker (and actor) Luis Trenker, coupled with a screenplay co-authored by Emeric Pressberger (The Red Shoes) gave this fact-based film a harrowing visual and emotional realism that's still striking seven decades later.
	La chambre Directed by Chantal Akerman 1972 United States Duration: 12:07	Chantal Akerman’s dialogue with the 1960s avant-garde movement of structural cinema begins here, with the first film she made in New York City—a breakthrough in her experiments with the bending of cinematic time and space. As the camera completes a series of circular pans around a small apartment, the interior’s furniture, its clutter, and the filmmaker herself—staring back at us from bed—become the subjects of a moving still life.

When her husband’s poet cousin (Soumitra Chatterjee) comes to stay with them, Charulata finds herself both creatively inspired and dangerously drawn to him. Based on a novella by the great Rabindranath Tagore, CHARULATA is a work of subtle textures, a delicate tale of a marriage in jeopardy and a woman taking the first steps toward establishing her own voice.
	Checking Out Directed by David Leland Starring Jeff Daniels, Melanie Mayron, Michael Tucker 1989 United States Duration: 1:35:21	“Why don’t Italians like barbecues?” When his best friend drops dead in the middle of telling this groaner, it brings about an existential fear of death for successful airline executive and family man Ray Macklin (Jeff Daniels), who soon becomes convinced that every ache and pain he experiences brings him one step closer to the grave. Scripted by Joe Eszterhas, CHECKING OUT turns that most relatable of anxieties—the horror of our own mortality—into a pleasingly low-key black comedy. Bonus: a David Byrne cameo.
	Chicken for Linda! Directed by Sébastien Laudenbach and Chiara Malta Starring Mélinée Leclerc, Clotilde Hesme, Laetitia Dosch 2023 France Duration: 1:16:27	Wracked with guilt after unjustly punishing her daughter Linda, widowed mother Paulette resolves to do anything to make it up to her. What does the girl want? A meal of chicken with peppers, which reminds her of the dish her father used to make.

	La chienne Directed by Jean Renoir Starring Michel Simon, Janie Marèse, Georges Flamant 1931 France Duration: 1:36:06	Jean Renoir's ruthless love triangle tale, his second sound film, is a true precursor to his brilliantly bitter THE RULES OF THE GAME, displaying all of the filmmaker's visual genius and fully imbued with his profound humanity. Michel Simon cuts a tragic figure as an unhappily married cashier and amateur painter who becomes so smitten with a prostitute that he refuses to see the obvious: that she and her pimp boyfriend are taking advantage of him. Renoir's elegant compositions and camera movements carry this twisting narrative, a stinging commentary on class and sexual divisions, to an unforgettably ironic conclusion.
	Children Directed by Terence Davies Starring Phillip Mawdsley, Robin Hooper, Nick Stringer 1976 United Kingdom Duration: 46:43	In the first film of Terence Davies’s autobiographical trilogy of shorts, his alter ego Robert Tucker reflects on his youth, remembering the bullying he experienced in his rigid Catholic school and the death of his abusive father.

	Children of Paradise Directed by Marcel Carné Starring Arletty, Jean-Louis Barrault, Pierre Brasseur 1945 France Duration: 3:10:26	Poetic realism reached sublime heights with CHILDREN OF PARADISE, widely considered one of the greatest French films of all time. This nimble depiction of nineteenth-century Paris’s theatrical demimonde, filmed during World War II, follows a mysterious woman (Arletty) loved by four different men (all based on historical figures): an actor, a criminal, a count, and, most poignantly, a mime (Jean-Louis Barrault, in a longing-suffused performance for the ages). With sensitivity and dramatic élan, director Marcel Carné and screenwriter Jacques Prévert resurrect a world teeming with hucksters and aristocrats, thieves and courtesans, pimps and seers.

	Chimes at Midnight Directed by Orson Welles Starring Orson Welles, Keith Baxter, Jeanne Moreau 1966 Spain Duration: 1:56:20	The crowning achievement of Orson Welles’s extraordinary cinematic career, CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT was the culmination of the filmmaker’s lifelong obsession with Shakespeare’s ultimate rapscallion, Sir John Falstaff. Usually a comic supporting figure, Falstaff—the loyal, often soused friend of King Henry IV’s wayward son Prince Hal—here becomes the focus: a robustly funny and ultimately tragic screen antihero played by Welles with looming, lumbering grace. Integrating elements from both “Henry IV” plays as well as “Richard II,” “Henry V,” and “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” Welles created a gritty and unorthodox Shakespeare film as a lament, he said, “for the death of Merrie England.” Poetic, philosophical, and visceral—with a kinetic centerpiece battle sequence that rivals anything in the director’s body of work—CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT is as monumental as the figure at its heart.
	Chinese Odyssey 2002 Directed by Jeffrey Lau Starring Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Faye Wong, Wei Zhao 2002 Hong Kong Duration: 1:30:40	Produced by Wong Kar Wai—and featuring some of his most beloved stars—this irresistibly entertaining comic adventure giddily spoofs everything from classic Chinese musicals to wuxia epics to Wong’s own films.

The princess, disguised as a man, finds herself attracting the attention of a boorish restaurant owner (Tony Leung Chiu Wai), precipitating much gender- and genre-bending mayhem.

Returning to the town where she grew up in Cameroon after many years living in France, a white woman (Mireille Perrier) reflects on her relationship with Protée (Isaach De Bankolé), a Black servant with whom she formed a friendship while not fully grasping the racial divides that governed their worlds.
	Chop Shop Directed by Ramin Bahrani Starring Alejandro Polanco, Isamar Gonzales, Rob Sowulski 2007 United States Duration: 1:24:37	For his acclaimed follow-up to MAN PUSH CART, Ramin Bahrani once again turned his camera on a slice of New York City rarely seen on-screen: Willets Point, Queens, an industrial sliver of automotive-repair shops that remains perpetually at risk of being redeveloped off the map. It’s within this precarious ecosystem that twelve-year-old Ale (Alejandro Polanco) must grow up fast, hustling in the neighborhood chop shops to build a more stable life for himself and his sister (Isamar Gonzales), even as their tenuous circumstances force each to compete with other struggling people and make desperate decisions. A deeply human story of a fierce but fragile sibling bond being tested by hardscrabble reality, CHOP SHOP tempers its sobering authenticity with flights of lyricism and hope.

Blending 1950s Americana (the vehicle’s preferred soundtrack to murder is vintage rock ’n’ roll), car fetishism, and hair-raising atmospherics into a smart and stylish pop confection, CHRISTINE stands as one of the all-time greatest Stephen King adaptations.

	Chronicle of a Summer Directed by Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin 1961 France Duration: 1:30:47	Few films can claim as much influence on the course of cinema history as CHRONICLE OF A SUMMER. The fascinating result of a collaboration between filmmaker-anthropologist Jean Rouch and sociologist Edgar Morin, this vanguard work of what Morin termed cinéma- vérité is a brilliantly conceived and realized sociopolitical diagnosis of the early sixties in France. Simply by interviewing a group of Paris residents in the summer of 1960—beginning with the provocative and eternal question “Are you happy?” and expanding to political issues, including the ongoing Algerian War—Rouch and Morin reveal the hopes and dreams of a wide array of people, from artists to factory workers, from an Italian émigré to an African student. CHRONICLE OF A SUMMER’s penetrative approach gives us a document of a time and place with extraordinary emotional depth.

Two heartsick Hong Kong cops (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung Chiu Wai), both jilted by ex-lovers, cross paths at the Midnight Express take-out food stand, where the ethereal pixie waitress Faye (Faye Wong) works. Anything goes in Wong’s gloriously shot and utterly unexpected charmer, which cemented the sex appeal of its gorgeous stars and forever turned canned pineapple and the Mamas & the Papas’ “California Dreamin’” into tokens of romantic longing.

Fiction and documentary—including snippets from Sedgwick’s own audio dairies—mingle in a freewheeling portrait of Susan Superstar (Sedgwick), a New York celebrity on a drug-fueled downward slide that mirrors Sedgwick’s own self-destructive spiral. Released after her death from an overdose of barbiturates, CIAO! MANHATTAN endures as a testament to Sedgwick’s unique magnetism and as a haunting elegy for the counterculture she embodied.

	The Circus Directed by Charles Chaplin 1928 United States Duration: 1:12:46	In the last film he made during the silent era, Charlie Chaplin revels in the art of the circus, paying tribute to the acrobats and pantomimists who inspired his virtuoso pratfalls. After being mistaken for a pickpocket, Chaplin’s Tramp flees into the ring of a traveling circus and soon becomes the star of the show, falling for the troupe’s bareback rider along the way. Despite its famously troubled production, this gag-packed comedy ranks among Chaplin’s finest, thanks to some of the most audacious set pieces of the director-performer’s career, including a close brush with a lion and a climactic tightrope walk with a barrelful of monkeys. THE CIRCUS, which was rereleased in 1969 with a new score by Chaplin, is an uproarious high-wire act that showcases silent cinema’s most popular entertainer at the peak of his comic powers.
	City Lights Directed by Charles Chaplin Starring Charles Chaplin, Virginia Cherrill, Harry Myers 1931 United States Duration: 1:26:45	CITY LIGHTS, the most cherished film by Charlie Chaplin, is also his ultimate Little Tramp chronicle.

Though this Depression-era smash was made after the advent of sound, Chaplin remained steadfast in his love for the expressive beauty of the pre-talkie form. The result was the epitome of his art and the crowning achievement of silent comedy.

He spends his July at a lakeside boardinghouse, nursing crushes on the sixteen-year-old Laura and, more tantalizingly, her long-legged, blonde, older half sister, Claire. Baring her knee on a ladder under a blooming cherry tree, Claire unwittingly incites a moral crisis for Jerôme while creating an image that is both the iconic emblem of Eric Rohmer’s Six Moral Tales and one of French cinema’s most enduring moments.

In a remote village in Costa Rica, forty-year-old Clara (Wendy Chinchilla Araya in a stunning screen debut) endures a repressively religious and withdrawn life under the command of her mother (Flor María Vargas Chavez). Her uncanny affinity for creatures large and small allows Clara to find solace in the natural world around her.

	The Clay Bird Directed by Tareque Masud Starring Nurul Haque, Russell Farazi, Jayanto Chattopadhyay 2002 Bangladesh Duration: 1:35:19	Set during the turbulent late-1960s period leading up to Bangladesh’s independence from Pakistan, this lyrical drama tells the story of a family torn apart by religion and war. Anu (Nurul Islam Bablu), a shy young boy from rural East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), is sent away by his father, an orthodox Muslim, to a madrassa, or Islamic school. Far from his family and the warmth of his region’s Hindu festivities, Anu struggles to adapt to the school’s harsh monastic life. As the political divisions in the country intensify, a widening split develops between the moderate and extremist forces within the madrasah and within Anu’s own family. Touching upon themes of religious tolerance, cultural diversity, and the complexity of Islam, THE CLAY BIRD has universal relevance in a crisis-ridden world.
	Cleaners Directed by Glenn Barit Starring Ianna Taguinod, Leomar Baloran, Julian Narag 2019 Philippines Duration: 1:18:54	At a Catholic high school in the Philippine city of Tuguegarao, a rambunctious batch of students rebel against all expectations to be clean: a germaphobe is tested by a bout of uncontrollable diarrhea; a trio of emos are forced to perform Tinikling (a traditional Philippine folk dance) with a normie; an uncircumcised boy asks an ostracized pregnant girl to prom; and the mayor’s son is tempted by his father’s corrupt example while running for youth-council chairman. Every frame of filmmaker Glenn Barit’s CLEANERS was xeroxed, hand-colored with highlighters, and then rescanned, giving each of its angst-drenched emotions a singular handmade texture and the whole film a bone-deep nostalgia for growing up in the Philippines in the early aughts.
	Clean, Shaven Directed by Lodge Kerrigan Starring Peter Greene, Robert Albert, Megan Owen 1994 United States Duration: 1:19:13	Lodge Kerrigan began his succession of utterly unique, visually and aurally dazzling character studies with the raw, ravaging CLEAN, SHAVEN. A compelling headfirst dive into the mindscape of a schizophrenic (played by the remarkable Peter Greene) as he tries to track down his daughter after he is released from an institution, Kerrigan’s film brilliantly uses sound and image to lead audiences into a terrifying subjectivity. No one is left unscathed.

As the investigation proceeds, Michel befriends the police inspector (Jean Rochefort) in charge of his son’s case. Based on a novel by Georges Simenon, THE CLOCKMAKER OF ST. PAUL (a.k.a. THE CLOCKMAKER) eschews the expected narrative machinations of a procedural to focus instead on the relationship that develops between the two men as Michel attempts to understand the motivations behind his son’s crime.

Oblivious to the war and the resistance that surrounds him, this young man embarks on a journey of sexual awakening and self-discovery, encountering a universe of frustration, eroticism, and adventure within his sleepy backwater depot. Wry and tender, Academy Award–winning CLOSELY WATCHED TRAINS is a masterpiece of human observation and one of the best-loved films of the Czech New Wave.
	Close to Home Directed by Erik Skjoldbjærg 1994 New Zealand Duration: 30:44	Erik Skjoldbjærg was the first Norwegian to attend the National Film and Television School in London, where he graduated in 1994. While there, he directed a number of short films, including CLOSE TO HOME.
	Close-up Directed by Abbas Kiarostami Starring Hossein Sabzian, Abolfazi Ahankhah, Mahrokh Ahankhah 1990 Iran Duration: 1:37:55	Internationally revered Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami has created some of the most inventive and transcendent cinema of the past thirty years, and CLOSE-UP is his most radical, brilliant work. This fiction-documentary hybrid uses a sensational real-life event—the arrest of a young man on charges that he fraudulently impersonated the well-known filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf—as the basis for a stunning, multilayered investigation into movies, identity, artistic creation, and existence, in which the real people from the case play themselves. With its universal themes and fascinating narrative knots, CLOSE-UP has resonated with viewers around the world.
	The Cloud-Capped Star Directed by Ritwik Ghatak Starring Supriya Choudhury, Anil Chatterjee, Bijon Bhattacharya 1960 India Duration: 2:07:08	Directed by the visionary Bengali filmmaker Ritwik Ghatak, THE CLOUD-CAPPED STAR tells the story of a family who have been uprooted by the Partition of India and come to depend on their eldest daughter, the self-sacrificing Neeta (Supriya Choudhury). She watches helplessly as her own hopes and desires are pushed aside time and again by those of her siblings and parents, until all her chances for happiness evaporate, leaving her crushed and ailing. Experimenting with off-balance compositions, discontinuous editing, and a densely layered soundtrack, Ghatak devised an intellectually ambitious and emotionally devastating new shape for the melodrama, lamenting the tragedies of Indian history and the inequities of traditional gender roles while blazing a formal trail for the generations of Indian filmmakers who have followed him.
	Clouds of Sils Maria Directed by Olivier Assayas Starring Juliette Binoche, Kristen Stewart, Chloë Grace Moretz 2014 France Duration: 2:03:49	This multilayered, immensely entertaining drama from the great contemporary French director Olivier Assayas is a singular look at the intersection of high art and popular culture. The always extraordinary Juliette Binoche is stirring as Maria, a stage and screen icon who is being courted to star in a new production of the play that made her famous—only this time she must assume the role of the older woman. Kristen Stewart matches her punch for punch as her beleaguered assistant, called upon to provide support both professional and emotional for her mercurial boss. And Chloë Grace Moretz is Maria’s callow new castmate, a starlet waiting in the wings. An amorphous, soul-searching tale, filled with ethereal images of its Swiss Alps setting, CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA brilliantly dramatizes one woman’s reckoning with herself and the world.
	Coach to Vienna Directed by Karel Kachyňa Starring Iva Janžurová, Jaromír Hanzlík, Luděk Munzar 1966 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:19:59	In the waning days of World War II, a young Czech woman (Iva Janzurová) is forced by a pair of Austrian soldiers to accompany them on their journey from the Russian front to Vienna. Unbeknownst to them, she is a widow whose husband was killed by the Nazis and who is determined to exact revenge on his behalf. What plays out is both a taut, moody thriller—the fablelike atmosphere conjured in part thanks to Ester Krumbachová’s costume design—and a morally complex exploration of the dehumanizing effects of war.
	Cockaboody Directed by John Hubley and Faith Hubley Starring Emily Hubley, Georgia Hubley 1973 United States Duration: 08:52	Faith and John Hubley visualize the spirit of childhood imagination in this slice-of-life short set to recordings of their daughters Emily and Georgia at play.
	Code Unknown Directed by Michael Haneke Starring Juliette Binoche, Thierry Neuvic, Alexandre Hamidi 2000 France Duration: 1:57:15	One of the world’s most influential and provocative filmmakers, the Oscar–winning Austrian director Michael Haneke diagnoses the social maladies of contemporary Europe with devastating precision and artistry. His drama CODE UNKNOWN, the first of his many films made in France, may be his most inspired work. Composed almost entirely of brilliantly shot, single-take vignettes focusing on characters connected to one seemingly minor incident on a Paris street, Haneke’s film—with an outstanding international cast headlined by Juliette Binoche—is a revelatory examination of racial inequality and the failure of communication in an increasingly diverse modern landscape.
	Coffee and Cigarettes Directed by Jim Jarmusch Starring Roberto Benigni, Steven Wright, Joie Lee 2003 United States Duration: 1:36:45	Eleven short films—some shot as early as the late 1980s—all revolving around the everyday activities of drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes, make up this sublimely absurdist omnibus outing from director Jim Jarmusch. Among the offbeat pleasures: Cate Blanchett playing both herself and her envious twin, an unforgettably awkward encounter between Alfred Molina and Steve Coogan, and the Wu-Tang Clan’s GZA and RZA discussing caffeine-fueled dreams while being waited on by Bill Murray.
	Cold Dog Soup Directed by Alan Metter Starring Randy Quaid, Frank Whaley, Christine Harnos 1990 United Kingdom Duration: 1:28:28	A Zen taxi driver, a dead dog, and one memorably surreal night . . . This singularly eccentric black comedy casts Randy Quaid as the enigmatic, koan-spouting cabbie whose fare for the night (Frank Whaley), having accidentally killed his sexy date’s pooch, is now desperate to dispose of the body. So begins a continuously strange and surprising odyssey through the weirdo fringes of New York City by night that plays something like the long-lost indie cousin of Martin Scorsese’s AFTER HOURS.
	Cold Water Directed by Olivier Assayas 1994 France Duration: 1:35:26	An acclaimed early work by Olivier Assayas, the long-unavailable, deeply felt coming-of-age drama COLD WATER can at last be seen in the United States. Drawing from his own youthful experiences, Assayas revisits the outskirts of Paris in the early 1970s, telling the story of teenage lovers Gilles (Cyprien Fouquet) and Christine (Virginie Ledoyen), whose rebellions against family and society threaten to tear them apart. The visceral realism of the movie’s narrative and the near experimentalism of its camera work come together effortlessly thanks in part to a rock soundtrack that vividly evokes the period. COLD WATER, whose centerpiece is one of the most memorable party sequences ever committed to film, is a heartbreaking immersion in the emotional tumult of being young.
	La collectionneuse Directed by Eric Rohmer Starring Haydée Politoff, Patrick Bauchau, Daniel Pommereulle 1967 France Duration: 1:26:47	A bombastic, womanizing art dealer and his painter friend go to a seventeenth-century villa on the Riviera for a relaxing summer getaway. But their idyll is disturbed by the presence of the bohemian Haydée, accused of being a “collector” of men. Eric Rohmer’s first color film, LA COLLECTIONNEUSE (“The Collector”) pushes the Moral Tales into new, darker realms. Yet it is also a grand showcase for the clever and delectably ironic battle-of-the-sexes repartee (in a witty script written by Rohmer and the three main actors) and luscious, effortless Néstor Almendros photography that would define the remainder of the series.
	The Color of Pomegranates Directed by Sergei Parajanov 1969 Soviet Union Duration: 1:20:07	A breathtaking fusion of poetry, ethnography, and cinema, Sergei Parajanov’s masterwork overflows with unforgettable images and sounds. In a series of tableaux that blend the tactile with the abstract, THE COLOR OF POMEGRANATES revives the splendors of Armenian culture through the story of the eighteenth-century troubadour Sayat-Nova, charting his intellectual, artistic, and spiritual growth through iconographic compositions rather than traditional narrative. The film’s tapestry of folklore and metaphor departed from the realism that dominated the Soviet cinema of its era, leading authorities to block its distribution, with rare underground screenings presenting it in a restructured form. This edition features the cut closest to Parajanov’s original vision, in a restoration that brings new life to one of cinema’s most enigmatic meditations on art and beauty.
	The Colors Directed by Abbas Kiarostami 1976 Iran Duration: 16:33	Ostensibly a film for children, this picture-book essay about the range of hues that brighten our world has the air of a delightfully playful formalistic exercise. As a narrator runs though the colors one by one, Abbas Kiarostami shows us where each appears in nature and human life (which occasions some great views of prerevolutionary consumer culture in Iran). Of course, a little boy is featured—in one memorable sequence, he fantasizes about being a race-car driver.
	Colossal Youth Directed by Pedro Costa Starring Ventura, Vanda Duarte, Paula Barrulas 2006 Portugal Duration: 2:36:13	Many of the lost souls of OSSOS and In VANDA’S ROOM return in the spectral landscape of COLOSSAL YOUTH, which brings to Pedro Costa’s Fontainhas films a new theatrical, tragic grandeur. This time, Costa focuses on Ventura, an elderly immigrant from Cape Verde living in a low-cost housing complex in Lisbon, who has been abandoned by his wife and spends his days visiting his neighbors, whom he considers his “children.” What results is a form of ghost story, a tale of derelict, dispossessed people living in the past and present at the same time, filmed by Costa with empathy and startling radiance.
	A Colt Is My Passport Directed by Takashi Nomura Starring Joe Shishido, Chitose Kobayashi 1967 Japan Duration: 1:24:44	One of Japanese cinema’s supreme emulations of American noir, Takashi Nomura’s A COLT IS MY PASSPORT is a down-and-dirty but gorgeously photographed yakuza film starring Joe Shishido as a hard-boiled hit man caught between rival gangs. Featuring an incredible, spaghetti-western-style soundtrack and brimming with formal experimentation, this is Nikkatsu at its finest.
	Come and See Directed by Elem Klimov 1985 Soviet Union Duration: 2:23:23	This legendary film from Soviet director Elem Klimov is a senses-shattering plunge into the dehumanizing horrors of war. As Nazi forces encroach on his small village in Belorussia, teenage Flyora (Alexei Kravchenko, in a searing depiction of anguish) eagerly joins the Soviet resistance. Rather than the adventure and glory he envisioned, what he finds is a waking nightmare of unimaginable carnage and cruelty—rendered with a feverish, otherworldly intensity by Klimov’s subjective camera work and expressionistic sound design. Nearly blocked from being made by Soviet censors, who took seven years to approve its script, COME AND SEE is perhaps the most visceral, impossible-to-forget antiwar film ever made.
	Come Back, Africa Directed by Lionel Rogosin Starring Miriam Makeba, Vinah Makeba, Zachria Makeba 1959 United States Duration: 1:26:00	One of the bravest and most powerful political films ever made, Lionel Rogosin’s urgent indictment of racial injustice—filmed in secret in 1950s Johannesburg, South Africa—follows a young Zulu man’s struggles to provide for his family under the crushing burden of apartheid. As in his previous docufiction landmark ON THE BOWERY, Rogosin immersed himself in the world of his subjects, in this case in the Black cultural hub of Sophiatown, a vibrant center of music, art, literature, and politics that was soon to be razed by the government to make way for a whites-only suburb. Largely improvised by a nonprofessional cast that includes legendary singer and activist Miriam Makeba, Come Back, Africa reveals both the cruelty of apartheid and the vitality of a community struggling for equality.
	A Comedy in Six Unnatural Acts Directed by Jan Oxenberg 1975 United States	In this witty Hollywood send-up, Jan Oxenberg satirizes a variety of film genres and the ways in which they perpetuate lesbian stereotypes.
	Come On Children Directed by Allan King 1972 Canada Duration: 1:35:14	In the early 1970's, ten teenagers (five boys and five girls) leave behind parents, school, and all other authority figures to live on a farm for ten weeks. What emerges in front of Allan King's cameras are the fears, hopes, and alienation of a disillusioned generation. Come On Children is a swift, vivid rendering of the growing pains of a counterculture.
	The Comfort of Strangers Directed by Paul Schrader Starring Christopher Walken, Rupert Everett, Natasha Richardson 1990 Italy Duration: 1:44:50	Two couples are drawn into a dark psychosexual vortex in Paul Schrader’s stylish take on the erotic thriller. Rupert Everett and Natasha Richardson are a British couple hoping to repair their rocky relationship while on vacation in Venice, where they fall in with a wealthy, mysterious couple (Christopher Walken and Helen Mirren) whose fascination with them turns increasingly treacherous. Adapted by Harold Pinter from the novel by Ian McEwan, THE COMFORT OF STRANGERS is a moody, spellbinding study in carefully controlled dread.
	La commare secca Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci Starring Marisa Solinas, Allen Midgette, Giancarlo De Rosa 1962 Italy Duration: 1:33:16	The brutalized corpse of a Roman prostitute is found along the banks of the Tiber River. The police round up a handful of possible suspects and interrogate them, one by one, each account bringing them closer to the killer. In this, his stunning debut feature, based on a story by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Bernardo Bertolucci utilizes a series of interconnected flashbacks to explore the nature of truth and the reliability of narrative. The Criterion Collection is proud to present the first realization of a legendary talent.
	Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt Directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman 1989 United States Duration: 1:20:19	A tremendous, handmade monument to lives lost to AIDS, the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt demonstrated that grief and activism together could forge a powerful symbol of resilience. Winner of the Academy Award for best documentary feature, this moving film—buoyed by an original all-vocal score by Bobby McFerrin—explores the human stories obscured by statistics, examining the cross section of identities affected by HIV/AIDS, as well as efforts to combat the stigma, misinformation, and political obstruction that deepened the crisis.
	Community Plot Directed by J. T. Takagi 1984 United States Duration: 18:32	Four neighbors form an uneasy alliance after a case worker from family court is accidentally killed in their building. With a gutsy sense of humor, this satiric comedy captures the chaos and cultural diversity of New York’s Lower East Side.
	Company Line Directed by Kevin Jerome Everson 2009 United States Duration: 29:54	City employees and former residents recount the history of one of the first predominantly Black neighborhoods in Mansfield, Ohio, historically referred to as Company Line. Established during the postwar migration of Blacks from the South to the North in the late 1940s, Company Line was purchased in the early 1970s and its residents were scattered throughout Mansfield.
	Confidentially Yours Directed by François Truffaut Starring Fanny Ardant, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Philippe Laudenbach 1983 France Duration: 1:51:02	The final film directed by François Truffaut is an unsung gem: an alternately suspenseful and comic homage to classic film noir and the work of Alfred Hitchcock, complete with chic black-and-white cinematography by the great Nestor Almendros. When his wife and her lover are found murdered, suspicion immediately falls upon real-estate agent Julien Vercel (Jean-Louis Trintignant). Even though she is not completely sure of his innocence, Julien’s spirited secretary Barbara Becker (an irresistible Fanny Ardant) sets out to investigate, transforming herself into a quick-thinking amateur gumshoe as she attempts to uncover the truth amid a pile-up of cryptic clues and shady characters.
	Confidential Report Directed by Orson Welles Starring Orson Welles, Paola Mori, Robert Arden 1955 Switzerland	Orson Welles’s MR. ARKADIN (a.k.a. CONFIDENTIAL REPORT) tells the story of an elusive billionaire who hires an American smuggler to investigate his past, leading to a dizzying descent into a cold-war European landscape. The film’s history is also marked by this vertigo. This cut is believed to be the cut finished by producer Louis Dolivet after he barred Welles from the editing room. Although it alters the flashback structure and the title that Welles later claimed to have preferred, it does have the best picture quality of all the versions, and also contains some scenes not included in any of the others.
	Conflagration Directed by Kon Ichikawa Starring Raizo Ichikawa, Tatsuya Nakadai 1958 Japan Duration: 1:39:26	Starring Raizo Ichikawa, Tatsuya Nakadai Adapted from a novel by Yukio Mishima and told in an intricate flashback structure, CONFLAGRATION dramatizes the psychological collapse of Goichi (Raizo Ichikawa), a young Buddhist acolyte from a dysfunctional family who arrives at a Kyoto temple—the Golden Pavilion—for further study.
	The Connection Directed by Shirley Clarke Starring Warren Finnerty, Jerome Raphel, Garry Goodrow 1961 United States Duration: 1:43:04	Shirley Clarke made a splash—and ignited a landmark censorship case—with her controversial feature debut, an innovative adaptation of Jack Gelber’s off-Broadway play in which the line between documentary and narrative breaks down as a group of junkie jazz musicians crawl the walls while waiting for their next fix. With its restlessly kinetic camerawork, flavorful Beat dialogue, and cool jazz score by pianist Freddie Redd, THE CONNECTION is a groundbreaking depiction of drug addiction and one of the most vital and influential works of the American independent film movement.
	Conquest of the Air Directed by Alexander Esway, Zoltán Korda, John Monk Saunders, Alexander Shaw, and Donald Taylor 1936 United Kingdom Duration: 1:05:47	A British documentary, containing several re-enactments, about mankind's centuries-old quest for flight.

	Conversations with Intellectuals About Selena Directed by Lourdes Portillo 1999 United States Duration: 58:49	Interrogating the Selena phenomenon, Lourdes Portillo brings together a group of Chicana cultural critics to talk about the Tejana music icon. Delving into their reactions to Selena’s groundbreaking rise, widespread influence, and tragic death, the conversation goes beyond the singer’s life and legacy to explore questions of representation and the intersection of pop and the personal.
	Le Corbeau Directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot Starring Pierre Fresnay, Ginette Leclerc, Micheline Francey 1943 France Duration: 1:31:46	A mysterious writer of poison-pen letters, known only as Le Corbeau (the Raven), plagues a French provincial town, unwittingly exposing the collective suspicion and rancor seething beneath the community’s calm surface. Made during the Nazi Occupation of France, Henri-Georges Clouzot’s LE CORBEAU was attacked by the right-wing Vichy regime, the left-wing Resistance press, and the Catholic Church, and it was banned after the Liberation. But some—including Jean Cocteau and Jean-Paul Sartre—recognized the powerful subtext to Clouzot’s anti-informant, anti-Gestapo fable, and worked to rehabilitate Clouzot’s directorial reputation after the war. LE CORBEAU brilliantly captures a spirit of paranoid pettiness and self-loathing turning an occupied French town into a twentieth-century Salem.
	Corridors of Blood Directed by Robert Day Starring Boris Karloff, Christopher Lee, Betta St. John 1959 United States Duration: 1:26:58	In 1840s London, Dr. Thomas Bolton (Boris Karloff) dares to dream the unthinkable: to operate on patients without causing pain. Unfortunately, the road to general anesthesia is blocked by a ruthless killer (Christopher Lee), as well as Bolton’s devastating addiction to his own chemical experiments.
	The Count of the Old Town Directed by Edvin Adolphson and Sigurd Wallén 1935 Sweden Duration: 1:22:55	A hotel in Stockholm has vacancies that a cast of characters soon fills.

	Coup de grâce Directed by Volker Schlöndorff Starring Margarethe von Trotta, Matthias Habich, Mathieu Carrière 1976 Germany Duration: 1:37:00	Latvia, 1919: the end of the Russian Civil War. An aristocratic young woman (brilliantly played by Margarethe von Trotta) becomes involved with a sexually repressed Prussian soldier. When she is rejected by her love, the young woman is sent into a downward spiral of psychosexual depression, promiscuity, and revolutionary collaboration. A startling tale of heartbreak and violence set against the backdrop of bloody revolution, Volker Schlöndorff's COUP DE GRÂCE is a powerful film that explores the interrelation of private passion and political commitment.
	Le coup du berger Directed by Jacques Rivette 1956 France Duration: 28:10	Just before embarking on PARIS BELONGS TO US, Jacques Rivette directed the following 1956 short film about an adulterous wife and her lover’s attempt to figure out how she will explain his gift of a mink coat.

But as those around him grow increasingly disenchanted with the cause, he must confront a sobering realization: could it be that everything he has fought for has been for nothing?
	Cours du soir Directed by Nicolas Ribowski 1967 France Duration: 28:56	Made while Jacques Tati was in production on PlayTime, and shot on the sets built for that film, the twentyty-seven minute Cours du soir was directed by Tati assistant Nicolas Ribowski and stars Tati as an acting instructor.
	Cousin Angelica Directed by Carlos Saura Starring José Luis López Vázquez, Lina Canalejas, Fernando Delgado 1974 Spain Duration: 1:46:34	Carlos Saura’s most explosively controversial work, COUSIN ANGELICA ignited a violent uproar for its provocative treatment of the Spanish Civil War, with the film’s right-wing detractors going so far as to firebomb a Barcelona theater where it was being shown. Following the death of his mother, unmarried, middle-aged businessman Luis (José Luis López Vázquez) travels from Barcelona to Segovia to oversee her burial. There, he reconnects with the woman who was his childhood love, his cousin Angelica (Lina Canalejas), sending him back in time through his conflicting memories of growing up during the Spanish Civil War.
	Cousin, Cousine Directed by Jean-Charles Tacchella 1975 France Duration: 1:36:10	In Jean-Charles Tacchella's film, a pair of distant cousins meet at a wedding and the two develop a friendship so deep that their spouses become suspicious.
	Les cousins Directed by Claude Chabrol Starring Jean-Claude Brialy, Gérard Blain 1959 France Duration: 1:49:45	In LES COUSINS (“The Cousins”), Claude Chabrol crafts a sly moral fable about a provincial boy who comes to live with his sophisticated bohemian cousin in Paris. Through these seeming opposites, Chabrol conjures a darkly comic character study that questions notions of good and evil, love and jealousy, and success in the modern world. A mirror image of LE BEAU SERGE, Chabrol’s debut, LES COUSINS recasts that film’s stars, Jean-Claude Brialy and Gérard Blain, in startlingly reversed roles. This dagger-sharp drama won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and was an important early entry in the French New Wave.
	The Coward Directed by Satyajit Ray Starring Soumitra Chatterjee, Madhabi Mukherjee 1965 India Duration: 1:09:45	Satyajit Ray explores the ache of desire in this exquisitely brief, emotionally layered chamber piece, in which Amitabha (Soumitra Chatterjee), a screenwriter from Kolkata, finds himself unexpectedly reunited with his now-married former lover Karuna (Madhabi Mukherjee) when his car breaks down near her home in the countryside.

	The Cranes Are Flying Directed by Mikhail Kalatozov Starring Tatiana Samoilova, Alexei Batalov, Vasily Merkuryev 1957 Soviet Union Duration: 1:36:54	This landmark film by the virtuosic Mikhail Kalatozov was heralded as a revelation in the post-Stalin Soviet Union and the international cinema community alike. It tells the story of Veronica (Tatiana Samoilova) and Boris (Alexei Batalov), a couple who are blissfully in love until World War II tears them apart. With Boris at the front, Veronica must try to ward off spiritual numbness and defend herself from the increasingly forceful advances of her beau’s draft-dodging cousin. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1958 Cannes Film Festival, THE CRANES ARE FLYING is a superbly crafted drama with impassioned performances and viscerally emotional, gravity-defying cinematography by Kalatozov’s regular collaborator Sergei Urusevsky.
	Crazed Fruit Directed by Kô Nakahira Starring Yujiro Ishihara, Masahiko Tsugawa, Mie Kitahara 1956 Japan Duration: 1:26:06	Two brothers compete for the amorous favors of a young woman during a seaside summer of gambling, boating, and drinking, in this seminal Sun Tribe (taiyozoku) film from director Kô Nakahira. Adapted from the controversial novel by Shintarô Ishihara, and critically savaged for its lurid portrayal of the postwar sexual revolution among Japan’s young and privileged, CRAZED FRUIT is an anarchic outcry against tradition and the older generation.
	Crazeologie Directed by Louis Malle 1954 France	In 1954, Louis Malle was a film student at the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques (IDHEC) in Paris, where he shot this rarely seen short, CRAZEOLOGIE. Inspired by the theater of the absurd of such playwrights as Samuel Beckett and Eugène Ionesco, the film is punctuated with the Charlie Parker song “Crazeology.”
	Creature from the Black Lagoon Directed by Jack Arnold Starring Richard Carlson, Julie Adams, Richard Denning 1954 United States Duration: 1:19:18	In this pulp-horror classic (originally shot in 3D), American scientists on an Amazon expedition get more than they bargained for when a dark tributary turns up a prehistoric man with gills. Half human, half amphibian, the creature breaks free after being captured, menacing the adventurers and stealing away the only woman on the crew. Under the assured direction of 1950s science-fiction specialist Jack Arnold, this atmospheric creature feature introduced the world to one of the most memorable movie monsters of all time.
	Les créatures Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Catherine Deneuve, Michel Piccoli, Eva Dahlbeck 1966 France Duration: 1:34:22	One of Agnès Varda least-seen films is also one of her most fascinating: an eccentrically imaginative science-fiction fantasia that touches on human nature, free will, and the creative process. Working with major stars for the first time on a feature film, Varda casts Michel Piccoli as a writer and Catherine Deneuve as his silent wife, a couple who relocate to the island of Noirmoutier (a longtime second home for Varda and her husband, Jacques Demy) where strange goings-on hint at a sinister force controlling the minds and actions of the residents. Slipping between “reality” and fiction, genre spectacle and avant-garde experimentation, LES CRÉATURES (“The Creatures”) is a beguiling, endlessly inventive exploration of the mysterious alchemy that transforms life into art.
	Creepy Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa Starring Hidetoshi Nishijima, Yuko Takeuchi, Masahiro Higashide 2016 Japan Duration: 2:10:14	Kiyoshi Kurosawa, who made his international reputation with the horror masterpieces CURE and PULSE, gets back to his roots by putting the thumbscrews to the audience in this insidiously constructed thriller that piles plot twists on top of plot twists and shock upon shock. A year after a botched hostage negotiation with a serial killer turned deadly, ex-detective Koichi (Hidetoshi Nishijima) and his wife (Yuko Takeuchi) move into a new house with a deeply strange new neighbor (Teruyuki Kagawa). Koichi’s former cop colleagues soon come calling for his help on a mysterious case, which may be related to the strange goings-on next door.
	The Cremator Directed by Juraj Herz 1969 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:40:50	Czechoslovak New Wave iconoclast Juraj Herz’s terrifying, darkly comic vision of the horrors of totalitarian ideologies stars a supremely chilling Rudolf Hrušínský as the pathologically morbid Karel Kopfrkingl, a crematorium manager in 1930s Prague who believes fervently that death offers the only true relief from human suffering. When he is recruited by the Nazis, Kopfrkingl’s increasingly deranged worldview drives him to formulate his own shocking final solution. Blending the blackest of gallows humor with disorienting expressionistic flourishes—queasy point-of-view shots, distorting lenses, jarring quick cuts—the controversial, long-banned masterpiece THE CREMATOR is one of cinema’s most trenchant and disturbing portraits of the banality of evil.
	Cría cuervos . . . Directed by Carlos Saura Starring Ana Torrent, Geraldine Chaplin, Conchita Pérez 1976 Spain Duration: 1:50:05	Carlos Saura’s exquisite CRÍA CUERVOS . . . heralded a turning point in Spain: shot while General Franco was on his deathbed, the film melds the personal and the political in a portrait of the legacy of fascism and its effects on a middle-class family (the title derives from the Spanish proverb: “Raise ravens and they'll peck out your eyes” Ana Torrent (the dark-eyed beauty from THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE) portrays the disturbed eight-year-old Ana, living in Madrid with her two sisters and mourning the death of her mother, whom she conjures as a ghost (an ethereal Geraldine Chaplin). Seamlessly shifting between fantasy and reality, the film subtly evokes both the complex feelings of childhood and the struggles of a nation emerging from the shadows.
	Cries and Whispers Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Harriet Andersson, Kari Sylwan, Ingrid Thulin 1972 Sweden Duration: 1:32:00	This existential wail of a drama concerns two sisters, Karin (Ingrid Thulin) and Maria (Liv Ullmann), keeping vigil for a third, Agnes (Harriet Andersson), who is dying of cancer and can find solace only in the arms of a beatific servant (Kari Sylwan). An intensely felt film that is one of Bergman’s most striking formal experiments, CRIES AND WHISPERS (which won an Oscar for the extraordinary color photography by Sven Nykvist) is a powerful depiction of human behavior in the face of death, positioned on the borders between reality and nightmare, tranquility and terror.
	Crimes of Passion Directed by Ken Russell Starring Kathleen Turner, Anthony Perkins, Bruce Davison 1984 United States Duration: 1:46:52	She is watched. She is worshiped. And she must remain a mystery. Fashion designer Joanna Crane (Kathleen Turner, at the height of her powers) leads a double life. By night she is China Blue, a sex worker who has attracted the unwanted attention of two men. One is a sexually frustrated private detective hired by her employees. The other is a psychopathic priest (played by Norman Bates himself, Anthony Perkins) in possession of a murderous sex toy. With its outré screenplay by Barry Sandler and over-the-top score by Rick Wakeman, this may just be the most outrageous film renegade director Ken Russell ever made—and that is saying something.
	Crimes of the Future Directed by David Cronenberg Starring Ronald Mlodzik, Jon Lidolt, Tania Zolty 1970 Canada Duration: 1:02:47	In this early feature from David Cronenberg, a dermatologist named Adrian Tripod searches for his missing mentor, Antoine Rouge, in the wake of a plague caused by cosmetics that has wiped out all sexually mature women. Shot silently and set to voice-over, CRIMES OF THE FUTURE provides an early glimpse of the director’s obsessions with the human body and technology.

	The Crimson Kimono Directed by Samuel Fuller Starring Victoria Shaw, Glenn Corbett, James Shigeta 1959 United States Duration: 1:21:31	Pulp maestro Samuel Fuller lends his slam-bang stylistic punch to this complex, fascinating noir that doubles as a trenchant social document of 1950s America. When a stripper is murdered in LA’s Little Tokyo, Japanese American detective Joe Kojaku (James Shigeta) and his partner Charlie Bancroft (Glenn Corbett) are assigned to the case—but their investigation is soon complicated by both romantic rivalry and racial tension. Fuller delves fearlessly into the knotty undercurrents of the lurid tabloid premise to craft a powerful and daring commentary on racism and cultural alienation.
	Crisis Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Inga Landgré, Marianne Löfgren 1946 Sweden Duration: 1:33:26	Starring Inga Landgré, Marianne Löfgren With his very first film as a director, made under the mentorship of the silent-film maestro Victor Sjöström, Ingmar Bergman began exploring a couple of the essential themes of his early period: youth pitted against crass society and the tensions between men and women. The eighteen-year-old Nelly (Inga Landgré), who lives with her foster mother in a quiet provincial town, is shaken by the sudden arrival of her birth mother (Marianne Löfgren), who eventually takes her to Stockholm—where Nelly receives a crash course in corruption and wrenching heartbreak. CRISIS proved that Bergman had an incipient gift for developing characters and evoking atmosphere on-screen.

	Cronos Directed by Guillermo del Toro Starring Federico Luppi, Ron Perlman, Claudio Brook 1993 Mexico Duration: 1:32:23	Guillermo del Toro made an auspicious and audacious feature debut with CRONOS, a highly unorthodox tale about the seductiveness of the idea of immortality. Kindly antiques dealer Jesús Gris (Federico Luppi) happens upon an ancient golden device in the shape of a scarab, and soon finds himself the possessor and victim of its sinister, addictive powers, as well as the target of a mysterious American named Angel (a delightfully crude and deranged Ron Perlman). Featuring marvelous special makeup effects and the haunting imagery for which del Toro has become world-renowned, CRONOS is a dark, visually rich, and emotionally captivating fantasy.
	Cruel Gun Story Directed by Takumi Furukawa 1964 Japan Duration: 1:26:44	Fresh out of the slammer, Togawa (Branded to Kill's rough-and-ready Joe Shishido) has no chance to go straight because he is immediately coerced by a wealthy mob boss into organizing a heist on an armored car carrying racetrack receipts.

Roth short stories about the relationship that develops between an elderly Irish woman and three orphaned Puerto Rican brothers who help to restore her once-grand Hudson Valley home and whose lives are watched over by their father’s ghost. With its expressive cinematography and magical-realist flourishes, THE CRUZ BROTHERS AND MISS MALLOY is both a charming celebration of Nuyorican culture and a unique exploration of how the shadows of a family’s past can loom over the present.
	The Cry of Jazz Directed by Edward Bland Starring George Waller, Dorothea Horton, Melinda Dillon 1959 United States Duration: 34:26	Featuring music by Sun Ra and his Arkestra, this landmark semi-documentary explores—via a heated conversation between a group of Black and white jazz aficionados—the relationship between jazz and race in America. Touching on the development of jazz as a distinctly African American art form born of Black struggle and the insidious co-option of Black culture by white people, THE CRY OF JAZZ proved explosively controversial both for its frank discussion of race and its bold proclamation that “jazz is dead.”
	Cry of the Hunted Directed by Joseph H. Lewis Starring Vittorio Gassman, Barry Sullivan, Polly Bergen 1953 United States Duration: 1:19:10	Directed in typically dynamic, imaginative style by B-noir maestro Joseph H.

	Cure Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa 1997 Japan Duration: 1:51:46	Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s arresting international breakthrough established him as one of the leaders of an emerging new wave of Japanese horror while pushing the genre into uncharted realms of philosophical and existential exploration. A string of shocking, seemingly unmotivated murders—each committed by a different person yet all bearing the same grisly hallmarks—leads Detective Takabe (Koji Yakusho) into a labyrinthine investigation to discover what connects them, and into a disturbing game of cat and mouse with an enigmatic amnesiac (Masato Hagiwara) who may be evil incarnate. Awash in hushed, hypnotic dread, CURE is a tour de force of psychological tension and a hallucinatory journey into the darkest recesses of the human mind.
	The Curve Directed by Edwige Shaki 1999 France Duration: 17:03	An artist falls for an art model who reminds him of a sculpture.

	Cyrano de Bergerac Directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau Starring Gérard Depardieu, Anne Brochet, Vincent Perez 1990 France Duration: 2:18:56	Gérard Depardieu delivers a towering performance as the immortal hero of hopeless romantics everywhere—he of the legendary long schnoz who selflessly uses his verse to help a friend woo the woman he himself secretly loves. Exquisite Academy Award–winning costumes, elegant cinematography, and a superlative screenplay adaptation by Jean-Claude Carrière and director Jean-Paul Rappeneau come together in a period piece par excellence that captures the wit, heart, and, yes, panache of Edmond Rostand’s beloved play.
	CzechMate: In Search of Jiří Menzel Directed by Shivendra Singh Dungarpur Starring Jiří Menzel, Antonín Máša, Dušan Hanák 2018 India Duration: 7:27:36	This epic, indispensable work of cinema scholarship from archivist and filmmaker Shivendra Singh Dungarpur is a remarkable, in-depth portrait of director Jiří Menzel (CLOSELY WATCHED TRAINS) and the Czechoslovak New Wave that he helped forge. Featuring extensive interviews with Menzel and compatriots like Věra Chytilová, Miloš Forman, Jan Němec, and Ivan Passer, CZECHMATE is a deeply personal tribute to a singular artist and an illuminating look at the turbulent social and political circumstances that gave rise to one of the most explosive creative movements in all of cinema history.
	Daddy Nostalgia Directed by Bertrand Tavernier Starring Dirk Bogarde, Jane Birkin, Odette Laure 1990 France Duration: 1:47:01	Dirk Bogarde delivers a spirited final screen performance opposite Jane Birkin in this poignant and perceptive tale about the regrets that mark a lifetime.

But as a lover of life who always pursued his pleasures, he has succeeded marvelously. Now, with Tony’s health failing, father and daughter reconnect for a by turns tender and painful reunion that may well be their last.

	Dadli Directed by Shabier Kirchner Starring Tiquan White 2018 Antigua and Barbuda Duration: 14:30	The debut short from cinematographer Shabier Kirchner is an immersive, woozily impressionistic portrait of street life on his home island of Antigua, as seen through the eyes of a young boy.
	Dad’s Dead Directed by Chris Shepherd Starring Ian Hart, Kay D’Arcy, Chris Freeney 2002 United Kingdom Duration: 06:57	A darkly psychedelic blend of animation and live action evokes a man’s memories of his former schoolmate and “best friend”: a charmer whose outward cool concealed a scary, sociopathic heart. Director Chris Shepherd’s edgy, innovative visuals mirror the story’s increasingly unsettling turns, transforming from cartoon cutesy to nihilistically disturbing.
	Daguerréotypes Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Lucien Bossy, Léonce Debrossian, Marcelle Debrossian 1975 France Duration: 1:19:29	Spending most of her days at home following the birth of her son but curious as ever about the people and places that surrounded her, Agnès Varda found inspiration for DAGUERRÉOTYPES just outside her door: on Paris’s rue Daguerre, where she had lived and worked since the 1950s. The director turns her camera on the business owners whose shops are the street’s lifeblood: bakers, tailors, butchers, perfumers, music-store clerks, driving instructors, and others, who, between the everyday rituals of their work, talk of their lives, relationships, and dreams. Blending her photographer’s eye for still portraiture with her filmmaker’s gift for finding visual rhymes and resonances between images, Varda reveals the rich social fabric of an entire world—all without leaving her block.
	Daisies Directed by Věra Chytilová Starring Ivana Karbanová, Jitka Cerhová, Marie Češková 1966 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:16:58	If the entire world is bad, why shouldn’t we be? Adopting this insolent attitude as their guiding philosophy, a pair of hedonistic young women (Ivana Karbanová and Jitka Cerhová), both named Marie, embark on a gleefully debauched odyssey of gluttony, giddy destruction, and antipatriarchal resistance, in which nothing is safe from their nihilistic pursuit of pleasure. But what happens when the fun is over? Matching her anarchic message with an equally radical aesthetic, director Věra Chytilová, with the close collaboration of cinematographer Jaroslav Kučera, unleashes an optical storm of fluctuating film stocks, kaleidoscopic montages, cartoonish stop-motion cutouts, and surreal costumes designed by Ester Krumbachová, who also cowrote the script. The result is DAISIES, the most defiant provocation of the Czechoslovak New Wave, an exuberant call to rebellion aimed squarely at those who uphold authoritarian oppression in any form.
	Les dames du Bois de Boulogne Directed by Robert Bresson Starring Paul Bernard, María Casares, Elina Labourdette 1945 France Duration: 1:25:47	This unique love story, based on a novelette by Denis Diderot and with dialogue written by Jean Cocteau, follows the maneuverings of a society lady as she connives to initiate a scandalous affair between her aristocratic ex-lover and a prostitute.

By drawing parallels to Polish "solidarity," a movement that was being quashed by the government as the film went into production, Wajda drags history into the present. Meticulous and fiery, DANTON has been hailed as one of the greatest films ever made about the Terror.
	Daphnia Directed by Jean Painlevé 1928 France Duration: 09:48	From 1927 to 1928, Jean Painlevé made his first three films aimed at the general public.

Based on a short story by RING author Koji Suzuki, DARK WATER follows Yoshimi (Hitomi Kuroki), a single mother struggling to win sole custody of her daughter. When they move into a new home in a dilapidated apartment complex, Yoshimi begins to experience startling visions and unexplainable sounds, calling her mental well-being into question and endangering not only her custody case but perhaps her and her child’s lives as well. Beautifully shot by Junichiro Hayashi (RING, PULSE) and featuring especially unnerving sound design, DARK WATER merges spine-tingling tension with a family’s heart-wrenching emotional struggle.

	The Daughter of Dawn Directed by Norbert A. Myles Starring Esther LeBarre, White Parker, Wanada Parker 1920 United States Duration: 1:18:46	Shot in 1920 in the Wichita Mountains of southwest Oklahoma with a cast entirely made up of members of the Comanche and Kiowa tribes, THE DAUGHTER OF DAWN screened publicly only twice before disappearing without a trace for nearly a century. Rediscovered and restored, this large-scale vision of Comanche and Kiowa life is a revelation. The story, played by a sprawling cast of three hundred Native Americans, includes a romantic rivalry, buffalo hunts, a battle, village scenes, dances, deceit, courage, hand-to-hand combat, and even a happy ending. The Indigenous actors, who in 1920 had been living on reservations for less than sixty years, brought with them their own tipis, horses, clothing, and material culture. Subtly acted, beautifully photographed, and directed without melodrama by Norbert A. Myles, this nearly lost landmark stands with the best films of the period.
	Daughters of the Dust Directed by Julie Dash Starring Cora Lee Day, Alva Rogers, Barbara O. Jones 1991 United States Duration: 1:52:26	Julie Dash’s rapturous vision of black womanhood and vanishing ways of life in the turn-of-the-century South was the first film directed by an African American woman to receive a wide release. In 1902, a multigenerational family in the Gullah community on the Sea Islands off of South Carolina—former West African slaves who carried on many of their ancestors’ Yoruba traditions—struggle to maintain their cultural heritage and folklore while contemplating a migration to the mainland, even further from their roots. Awash in gorgeously poetic, sun-dappled images at once dreamlike and precise, DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST forges a radical new visual language rooted in black femininity and the rituals of Gullah culture.
	David Golder Directed by Julien Duvivier 1930 France Duration: 1:35:15	The first sound film by Julien Duvivier also marked his first collaboration with the marvelous actor Harry Baur. Together, they brought to life the vivid protagonist of Irène Némirovsky's best-selling first novel, an avaricious, self-interested banker whose family life is as tempestuous as his business dealings. Directed with visual panache, this grim yet arresting tale showcases Duvivier's preternatural cinematic maturity during a transitional phase for the French film industry.

From his secluded home and painting studio in the Hollywood Hills, a candid Lynch conjures people and places from his past, from his boyhood to his experiences at art school to the beginnings of his filmmaking career—in stories that unfold like scenes from his movies. This remarkable documentary by Jon Nguyen, Rick Barnes, and Olivia Neergaard-Holm travels back to Lynch’s early years as a painter and director drawn to the phantasmagoric, while also illuminating his enduring commitment to what he calls “the art life”: “You drink coffee, you smoke cigarettes, and you paint, and that’s it.”
	Dawn of a New Day Directed by Youssef Chahine Starring Seif Abdel-Rahman, Sanaa Gamil, Youssef Chahine 1965 Egypt Duration: 2:16:21	Cited by director Youssef Chahine as one of his personal favorites among his films, this florid Sirkian melodrama that doubles as a subversive portrait of class conflict in the aftermath of the 1952 Egyptian revolution. Sanaa Gamil—one of Egypt’s greatest character actors—gives a deeply felt performance as Naila, the disaffected, fortysomething wife of a wealthy, vain man whose search for meaning leads her into an affair with a poor college student (Seif Abdel-Rahman) twenty years her junior. But in a society rocked by revolution, can love transcend the social forces that separate them? DAWN OF A NEW DAY features some of the most gorgeous photography in Chahine’s oeuvre, courtesy of the great cinematographer Abdel-Aziz Fahmy.
	Daybreak Express Directed by D. A. Pennebaker 1953 United States Duration: 05:43	Shot in 1953, though not completed until 1957, Daybreak Express was the first film D. A. Pennebaker made, a mad rush of images of New York City captured from a train and edited to the rhythm of Duke Ellington's song of the same name. A jazz aficionado, Pennebaker thought his career would continue along this path, making short films cut to songs.
	A Day in Barbagia Directed by Vittorio De Seta 1958 Italy Duration: 11:14	From sunrise to sunset, Vittorio De Seta chronicles the lives of Sardinian women who look after both home and fields while their shepherd husbands are away tending their flocks.
	A Day in the Country Directed by Jean Renoir Starring Sylvia Bataille, Georges D’Arnoux, Jane Marken 1936 France Duration: 41:01	This bittersweet film from Jean Renoir, based on a story by Guy de Maupassant, is a tenderly comic idyll about a city family’s picnic in the French countryside and the romancing of the mother and grown daughter by two local men. Conceived as a short feature, the project had nearly finished production in 1936 when Renoir was called away for THE LOWER DEPTHS. Shooting was abandoned then, but the film was completed with the existing footage by Renoir’s team and released in its current form in 1946, after the director had already moved on to Hollywood. The result is a warmly humanist vignette that ranks among Renoir’s most lyrical works, with a love for nature imbuing its every beautiful frame.

Romero’s Living Dead saga (after NIGHT and DAWN), a small group of scientists and soldiers have taken refuge in an underground missile silo, where they struggle to control the flesh-eating horror that walks the earth above. But will the final battle for the future of the human race be fought among the living, or have they forever unleashed the hunger of the dead? Tom Savini’s groundbreaking gore effects are a highlight of this horror classic, which provocatively posits that humankind may be its own worst enemy.
	Day of Wrath Directed by Carl Th. Dreyer Starring Thorkild Roose, Lisbeth Movin, Sigrid Neiiendam 1943 Denmark Duration: 1:37:41	Filmed during the Nazi occupation of Denmark, Carl Dreyer’s DAY OF WRATH (VREDENS DAG) is a harrowing account of individual helplessness in the face of growing social repression and paranoia. Anna, the young second wife of a well-respected but much older pastor, falls in love with her stepson when he returns to their small seventeenth-century village. Stepping outside the bounds of the village’s harsh moral code has disastrous results. Exquisitely photographed and passionately acted, DAY OF WRATH remains an intense, unforgettable experience.

Hockney’s charming narration brings the bustling streets and waterfronts of three hundred years ago to life and offers fascinating insight into his own artistic vision.

The director’s longtime muse Lee Kang-sheng once again stars as a variation on himself, wandering through a lonely urban landscape and seeking treatment in Hong Kong for a chronic illness; at the same time, a young Laotian immigrant working in Bangkok (Anong Houngheuangsy) goes about his daily routine. These two solitary men eventually come together in an unforgettable moment of healing, tenderness, and sexual release. Among the most cathartic entries in Tsai’s filmography, DAYS is a work of longing, constructed with the director’s customary visual rigor and shot through with profound empathy.
	Days of Being Wild Directed by Wong Kar Wai Starring Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing, Andy Lau Tak Wah, Maggie Cheung Man Yuk 1990 Hong Kong Duration: 1:35:12	The breakthrough sophomore feature by Wong Kar Wai represents the first full flowering of his swooning signature style. The initial entry in a loosely connected, ongoing cycle that includes IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE and 2046, this ravishing existential reverie is a dreamlike drift through the Hong Kong of the 1960s in which a band of wayward twentysomethings—including a disaffected playboy (Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing) searching for his birth mother, a lovelorn woman (Maggie Cheung Man Yuk) hopelessly enamored with him, and a policeman (Andy Lau Tak Wah) caught in the middle of their turbulent relationship—pull together and push apart in a dance of frustrated desire. The director’s inaugural collaboration with both cinematographer Christopher Doyle, who lends the film its gorgeously gauzy, hallucinatory texture, and actor Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who appears briefly in a tantalizing teaser for a never-realized sequel, DAYS OF BEING WILD is an exhilarating first expression of Wong’s trademark themes of time, longing, dislocation, and the restless search for human connection.

When she discovers a love letter written to her husband (Stanley Tucci) by an unknown paramour, the distraught Eliza (Hope Davis) turns to her tight-knit Long Island family for advice. Soon the entire clan—strong-willed mom (Anne Meara), taciturn dad (Pat McNamara), and jaded sister (Parker Posey) with pretentious boyfriend (Liev Schreiber) in tow—has squeezed into a station wagon and headed into Manhattan to find out the truth, kicking off a one-crazy-day odyssey full of unexpected detours and life-changing revelations. Performed with deadpan virtuosity by a top-flight ensemble cast, THE DAYTRIPPERS is a wry and piercing look at family bonds stretched to the breaking point.
	A Day with the Boys Directed by Clu Gulager 1969 United States Duration: 18:16	Directed by character actor Clu Gulager and shot in beautifully burnished tones by the great László Kovács, this experimental short is a dreamily impressionistic, subtly sinister immersion into the imaginative world of a band of boys at play on a sunbaked summer’s day.
	Dazed Flesh Directed by Grace Passô and Ricardo Alves Jr. Starring Grace Passô, Zora Santos, Dona Jandira 2019 Brazil Duration: 44:52	A wandering voice is able to invade any matter—solid, liquid, or gas—and it decides for the first time to invade a woman’s body. From this experience it narrates what it feels and what it pretends to feel, what is unfathomable in itself, and what a body means as a social construction.
	Dead Man Directed by Jim Jarmusch Starring Johnny Depp, Gary Farmer, Lance Henriksen 1995 United States Duration: 2:01:25	With DEAD MAN, his first period piece, Jim Jarmusch imagined the nineteenth-century American West as an existential wasteland, delivering a surreal reckoning with the ravages of industrialization, the country's legacy of violence and prejudice, and the natural cycle of life and death. Accountant William Blake (Johnny Depp) has hardly arrived in the godforsaken outpost of Machine before he's caught in the middle of a fatal lovers' quarrel. Wounded and on the lam, Blake falls under the watch of the outcast Nobody (Gary Farmer), who guides his companion on a spiritual journey, teaching him to dispense poetic justice along the way. Featuring austerely beautiful black-and-white photography by Robby Müller and a live-wire score by Neil Young, DEAD MAN is a profound and unique revision of the western genre.

In this macabre farce, a Korean man is sentenced to death in Japan but survives his execution, sending the authorities into a panic about what to do next. At once disturbing and oddly amusing, Oshima’s constantly surprising film is a subversive and surreal indictment of both capital punishment and the treatment of Korean immigrants in his country.
	Death Drums Along the River Directed by Lawrence Huntington 1963 United Kingdom Duration: 1:23:32	Harry Sanders (Richard Todd), a British policeman, investigates a murder in an African hospital.
	Death of a Cyclist Directed by Juan Antonio Bardem Starring Alberto Closas, Lucia Bosé, Otello Toso 1955 Spain Duration: 1:27:21	Upper-class geometry professor Juan and his wealthy, married mistress, Maria José, driving back from a late-night rendezvous, accidentally hit a cyclist, and run. The resulting, exquisitely shot tale of guilt, infidelity, and blackmail reveals the wide gap between the rich and the poor in Spain, and surveys the corrupt ethics of a society seduced by decadence. Juan Antonio Bardem’s charged melodrama DEATH OF A CYCLIST (MUERTE DE UN CICLISTA) was a direct attack on 1950s Spanish society under Franco’s rule. Though it was affected by the dictates of censorship, its sting could never be dulled.
	Death Shadows Directed by Hideo Gosha 1986 Japan Duration: 1:56:22	After their executions are faked by the authorities, three criminals are forced to become assassins under the command of the Shogun.
	Death Walks at Midnight Directed by Luciano Ercoli Starring Nieves Navarro, Peter Martell, Claudie Lange 1972 Italy Duration: 1:41:51	Luciano Ercoli’s DEATH WALKS AT MIDNIGHT is arguably the director’s masterpiece—thanks in no small part to the screenwriting talents of giallo master Ernesto Gastaldi (TORSO). Nieves Navarro stars as Valentina, a model who, in the midst of a drug-fueled photoshoot, witnesses a brutal murder in the apartment opposite hers. But when the authorities refuse to believe that a crime has been committed, Valentina is forced to assume the role of amateur sleuth in order to unravel the mystery. Although Ercoli only made a small number of giallo films during his time as director, DEATH WALKS AT MIDNIGHT—with its ultrastylized set pieces and grisly murder sequences—would serve to forever cement his reputation within the genre.
	Death Watch Directed by Bertrand Tavernier Starring Romy Schneider, Harvey Keitel, Harry Dean Stanton 1980 France Duration: 2:10:49	Part human drama, part sci-fi cautionary tale, Bertrand Tavernier’s DEATH WATCH unfolds in a future where death by disease has become extremely rare. When it is discovered that Katherine (Romy Schneider, in one of her final roles) has an incurable illness, she becomes an object of intense media fascination—so much so that Roddy (Harvey Keitel) has a camera implanted into his brain so that he can record, unbeknownst to Katherine, her final days for the reality television series “Death Watch.” By turns moving and unsettling, this cult classic is a chillingly prescient vision of a voyeuristic society in decay.
	Declaration of War Directed by Dustin Guy Defa 2013 United States Duration: 07:01	This found-footage compilation exposes the disturbing enthusiasm with which George W. Bush’s declaration of a “war on terror” was met.
	Declarations of Love Directed by Tiff Rekem 2022 United States Duration: 29:15	A fragmentary rumination on an aging father figure and his nearness to the gender-reveal-party fire that scorched the San Bernardino foothills in 2020.
	A Dedicated Life Directed by Kazuo Hara Starring Mitsuharu Inoue, Hiroshi Noma, Jakuchô Setouchi 1994 Japan Duration: 2:37:06	Kazuo Hara’s interest in iconoclastic figures living in opposition to mainstream society led him to begin work on A DEDICATED LIFE, an intimate, fly-on-the-wall portrait of the controversial writer Mitsuharu Inoue, a sometimes charming, sometimes combative, often frustrating novelist esteemed as one of postwar Japan’s literary lions. The project, however, soon spins off into unexpected directions, first when Inoue is diagnosed with terminal cancer, then when Hara begins to discover that the writer’s talents for fiction extend to his own life, the details of which he has been fabricating for decades. As the ailing author confronts his mortality and races to complete his final works, Hara begins digging into Inoue’s past in an attempt to separate the man from the myth, resulting in a unique, layered portrait of a complex figure whose very life was an extension of his art.
	Deep Crimson Directed by Arturo Ripstein Starring Regina Orozco, Daniel Giménez Cacho, Marisa Paredes 1996 Spain Duration: 2:17:01	Mexican provocateur Arturo Ripstein takes the ever-ripe lovers-on-the-run premise of dime-store pulp to its deliriously overheated, wickedly perverse extreme. In 1940s Mexico, a lusty, hot-for–Charles Boyer nurse (Regina Orozco) meets a balding con man (Daniel Giménez Cacho) who’s touchy about his toupee through a lonely hearts ad, and it’s not long before they’re off on a cross-country crime spree robbing and murdering widows in between bouts of carnal passion. Based on the same true-crime shocker that inspired THE HONEYMOON KILLERS, DEEP CRIMSON—presented here in its 2023 director’s cut—blends the heavy-breathing hysterics of golden-age melodrama with startling violence and Buñuelian black humor.
	Deep Red Directed by Dario Argento Starring David Hemmings, Daria Nicolodi, Gabriele Lavia 1975 Italy Duration: 2:07:19	From Dario Argento, maestro of the macabre and the man behind some of the defining works of Italian horror, comes DEEP RED—the ultimate giallo movie. One night, musician Marcus Daly (BLOW-UP’s David Hemmings), looking up from the street below, witnesses the brutal axe murder of a woman in her apartment. Racing to the scene, Marcus just manages to miss the perpetrator . . . or does he? As he takes on the role of amateur sleuth, Marcus finds himself ensnared in a bizarre web of murder and mystery where nothing is what it seems. Aided by a throbbing score from regular Argento collaborators Goblin, DEEP RED is a hallucinatory fever dream of a giallo punctuated by some of the most astonishing set pieces the subgenre has to offer.
	Dégustation maison Directed by Sophie Tatischeff 1978 France Duration: 14:18	Directed by Jacques Tati's daughter Sophie Tatischeff, Dégustation maison is a thirteen-minute comic short shot in a café in Sainte-Sévère-sur-Indre, the same town where Tati's Jour de fěte was filmed. It won the Cesar Award for best short fiction film in 1978.
	Delirious Directed by Tom DiCillo Starring Steve Buscemi, Michael Pitt, Alison Lohman 2006 United States Duration: 1:46:45	Having brilliantly lampooned the world of low-budget filmmaking in LIVING IN OBLIVION, director Tom DiCillo and Steve Buscemi reteamed for another wicked satire of the entertainment industry, presented here in its director’s cut. Buscemi is neurotic paparazzo Les Galantine, who, desperate for his big break, takes on Toby (Michael Pitt), a homeless aspiring actor, as his assistant. As the odd-couple pair make their way through the grit and glitter of New York City’s celebrity scene, they gradually form an unlikely bond. But when Toby stumbles into fame himself, he must make a choice that could betray his only friend.
	Del mero corazón Directed by Les Blank, Maureen Gosling, Guillermo Hernandez, and Chris Strachwitz 1979 Duration: 29:01	The love songs of the Tex-Mex Norteño music tradition offer insight into the richness of Chicano culture.
	De Lo Mio Directed by Diana Peralta Starring Sasha Merci, Darlene Demorizi, Héctor Aníbal 2019 United States Duration: 1:13:43	Sibling bonds are both rekindled and tested in the achingly alive feature debut from Diana Peralta. Rita (Sasha Merci) and Carolina (Darlene Demorizi), two high-spirited sisters raised in New York, travel to the Dominican Republic to reunite with their estranged brother Dante (Héctor Aníbal) and to clean out their grandparents’ old home before it is sold and knocked down. As they rifle through the remnants of their family’s legacy, shared joys, pains, and traumas that they must confront once and for all resurface. Sensitively attuned to the intricacies of sibling relationships—from the playful teasing to the way a favorite childhood song can trigger an impromptu dance party—DE LO MIO weaves a richly human story about cherishing the past while learning to let go.
	Delta Space Mission Directed by Mircea Toia and Călin Cazan Starring Mirela Gorea, Marcel Iureș, Dan Condurache 1984 Romania Duration: 1:10:40	Set to a killer synth prog soundtrack, the first animated film from Romania is a loopy and lysergic science-fiction eyeball-twirler that plays something like 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY on psychedelics. In the year 3084, an alien named Alma embarks on an intergalactic voyage on an ultra-advanced, AI-controlled spaceship called Delta—a trippy cosmic journey that turns dangerous when the vessel’s all-powerful computer brain begins to develop feelings for her.
	The Delta Directed by Ira Sachs Starring Shayne Gray, Thang Chan, Rachel Zan Huss 1996 United States Duration: 1:24:04	A treasure of the 1990s’ New Queer Cinema, Ira Sachs’s incisive debut feature moodily evokes the wide space between dreams, desires, and fulfillment in post–Vietnam War America via the romance between Lincoln (Shayne Gray), an affluent white teenager, and Minh (Thang Chan) the immigrant son of a poor Vietnamese woman and a Black GI. The vivid setting is a little-seen, little-known Memphis, a city where kids get through their nights by drinking and doing drugs and gay men struggle with questions of personal identity and fulfillment. When Lincoln and Minh set off on a boat down the Mississippi, could it just be another in a long series of failed escapes?
	The Demon Directed by Yoshitaro Nomura 1978 Japan Duration: 1:50:36	When Sokichi's abandoned mistress shows up on his doorstep with their three children, she is as surprised to discover he has a wife as his wife is to discover that he has a mistress.
	Demonlover Directed by Olivier Assayas Starring Connie Nielsen, Charles Berling, Chloë Sevigny 2002 France Duration: 2:01:42	“No one sees anything. Ever. They watch, but they don’t understand.” So observes Connie Nielsen in Olivier Assayas’s hallucinatory, globe-spanning DEMONLOVER, a postmodern neonoir thriller and media critique in which nothing—not even the film itself—is what it appears to be. Nielsen plays Diane de Monx, a Volf Corporation executive turned spy for rival Mangatronics in the companies’ battle over the lucrative market of internet adult animation. But Diane may not be the only player at Volf with a hidden agenda: both romantic interest Hervé (Charles Berling) and office enemy Elise (Chloë Sevigny) seem to know her secret and can easily use it against her for their own purposes. As the stakes grow higher and Diane ventures into deadlier territory, Assayas explores the connections between multinational businesses and extreme underground media as well as the many ways twenty-first-century reality increasingly resembles violent, disorienting fiction.
	A Demonstration Directed by Sasha Litvintseva and Beny Wagner 2020 Germany Duration: 26:05	Inspired by the existence of taxonomies of monsters at the heart of early modern European science, A DEMONSTRATION explores and reinterprets a way of seeing the natural world that is almost impossible to imagine from today’s vantage point.
	Deprisa, deprisa Directed by Carlos Saura Starring Berta Socuéllamos, José Antonio Valdelomar 1981 Spain Duration: 1:40:19	In making DEPRISA, DEPRISA, director Carlos Saura populated his cast with actual denizens of the Madrid streets to tell the story of youth on the edge of doom. Angela (Berta Socuéllamos) is a young waitress who turns her back on society when she meets and falls in love with Pablo (José Antonio Valdelomar), a reckless criminal delinquent. Along with Pablo’s gang of car thieves, the pair embark on a drug- and disco-fueled robbery spree as they hurtle toward oblivion. Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, this raw, startlingly naturalistic tale of love outside the law reflects the turmoil of a generation navigating the social upheavals of post-Franco Spanish society.
	Dersu Uzala Directed by Akira Kurosawa 1975 Japan Duration: 2:22:14	The Russian army sends an explorer on an expedition to the snowy Siberian wilderness where he makes friends with a seasoned local hunter.
	Desert Fury Directed by Lewis Allen Starring John Hodiak, Lizabeth Scott, Burt Lancaster 1947 United States	Lurid Technicolor, deep-dish melodrama, and gay subtext abound in this pulpy noir firecracker. In the desert town of Chuckawalla, Nevada, tempers flare, passions spark, and violence erupts when Paula (Lizabeth Scott), the defiant daughter of a hard-boiled casino owner (Mary Astor) falls for no-good gangster Eddie Bendix (John Hodiak)—igniting the jealousy of Bendix’s possessive partner (Wendell Corey, in his film debut). In one of his earliest film roles, Burt Lancaster costars as the local cop who finds himself embroiled in the deadly tangle.
	Desert Hearts Directed by Donna Deitch Starring Helen Shaver, Patricia Charbonneau 1985 United States Duration: 1:31:40	Directed by Donna Deitch • 1985 • United States Starring Helen Shaver, Patricia Charbonneau Donna Deitch's swooning and sensual first narrative feature, DESERT HEARTS, was groundbreaking upon its release in 1985: a love story about two women, made entirely independently, on a shoestring budget, by a woman. In this 1959-set film, adapted from a beloved novel by Jane Rule, straitlaced East Coast professor Vivian Bell (Helen Shaver) arrives in Reno to file for divorce but winds up catching the eye of someone new, the free-spirited young Cay (Patricia Charbonneau), touching off a slow seduction that unfolds against a breathtaking desert landscape. With undeniable chemistry between its two leads, an evocative jukebox soundtrack, and vivid cinematography by Robert Elswit, DESERT HEARTS beautifully exudes a sense of tender yearning and emotional candor.
	Désiré Directed by Sacha Guitry 1937 France Duration: 1:38:00	Sacha Guitry exchanges his usual top hat for a uniform in Désiré, playing a cavalier valet embroiled in an awkward flirtation with his new employer (played by the actor-director's real-life wife, Jacqueline Delubac), who is involved with a stuffy politician. A carefree class farce filled with memorable supporting characters, Désiré blurs the distinction between upstairs and downstairs.
	Destiny Directed by Youssef Chahine Starring Nour el-Sherif, Laila Eloui, Khaled el-Nabawy 1997 Egypt Duration: 2:16:23	As a liberal humanist whose ideals were often at odds with the encroaching forces of religious fundamentalism, director Youssef Chahine found rich personal resonances in this urgent and engaging historical panorama, made in reaction to the unprecedented wave of Islamic terrorism that rocked Egypt in the nineties. DESTINY centers on the twelfth-century Islamic philosopher, judge, and polymath Ibn Rushd, commonly known in the West as Averroes. In the Arab-ruled Spanish province of Andalusia, the brilliant Averroës (Nour el-Sherif) lives at the center of a secular, multicultural world of learning and open inquiry—until a sect of extremists set out to suppress everything he represents.
	Destroy All Monsters Directed by Ishiro Honda 1968 Japan Duration: 1:29:10	The original Godzilla team of director Ishiro Honda, special-effects supervisor Eiji Tsuburaya, and composer Akira Ifukube reunited for this kaiju extravaganza, which features no fewer than eleven monsters. Set in the remote future of 1999, when the people of Earth have achieved world peace by confining destructive creatures to Monsterland (until an alien race intervenes), DESTROY ALL MONSTERS mounts a thrilling display of innovative action sequences and memorable images that have made it a favorite for generations of viewers.
	Detour Directed by Edgar G. Ulmer Starring Tom Neal, Ann Savage 1945 United States Duration: 1:09:03	Directed by Edgar G. Ulmer • 1945 • United States Starring Tom Neal, Ann Savage From Poverty Row came a movie that, perhaps more than any other, epitomizes the dark fatalism at the heart of film noir. As he hitchhikes his way from New York to Los Angeles, a down-on-his-luck nightclub pianist (Tom Neal) finds himself with a dead body on his hands and nowhere to run—a waking nightmare that goes from bad to worse when he picks up the most vicious femme fatale in cinema history, Ann Savage’s snarling, monstrously conniving drifter Vera. Working with no-name stars on a bargain-basement budget, B auteur Edgar G. Ulmer turned threadbare production values and seedy, low-rent atmosphere into indelible pulp poetry. Long unavailable in a format in which its hard-boiled beauty could be fully appreciated, DETOUR haunts anew in its first major restoration. Restored by the Academy Film Archive and The Film Foundation in collaboration with the Cinémathèque Royale de Belgique, The Museum of Modern Art, and the Cinémathèque Française. Restoration funding provided by the George Lucas Family Foundation.
	Le deuxième souffle Directed by Jean-Pierre Melville 1966 France Duration: 2:30:15	With his customary restraint and ruthless attention to detail, director Jean-Pierre Melville follows the parallel tracks of French underworld criminal Gu (the inimitable Lino Ventura), escaped from prison and roped into one last robbery, and the suave inspector, Blot, relentlessly seeking him. The implosive LE DEUXIEME SOUFFLE captures the pathos, loneliness, and excitement of a life in the shadows with methodical suspense and harrowing authenticity.
	Devi Directed by Satyajit Ray Starring Sharmila Tagore, Chhabi Biswas, Soumitra Chatterjee 1960 India Duration: 1:39:24	Master filmmaker Satyajit Ray explores the conflict between fanaticism and free will in DEVI (“The Goddess”), issuing a subversively modern challenge to religious orthodoxy and patriarchal power structures. In rural India in the second half of the nineteenth century, after his son (Soumitra Chatterjee) leaves for Kolkata to complete his studies, a wealthy feudal landlord (Chhabi Biswas) is seized by the notion that his beloved daughter-in-law (a hauntingly sad-eyed Sharmila Tagore) is an incarnation of the Mother Goddess—a delusion that proves devastating to the young woman and those around her. The elegantly stylized compositions and the chiaroscuro lighting by cinematographer Subrata Mitra heighten the expressionistic intensity of this domestic tragedy, making for an experience that is both sublime and shattering.
	The Devil of the Desert Directed by Youssef Chahine Starring Omar Sharif, Mariam Fakhr Eddine, Lola Sedky 1954 Egypt Duration: 1:28:49	Director Youssef Chahine’s young discovery Omar Sharif blazes across the screen in this whirlwind swashbuckling adventure. He plays a young bedouin who sets out to overthrow a tyrannical ruler by first infiltrating his court and gaining his trust—with love, deception, betrayal, musical interludes, and plenty of action along the way. Chahine keeps the plot moving with energy and visual flair, while Sharif makes for a most dashing populist hero.
	The Devil, Probably Directed by Robert Bresson Starring Antoine Monnier, Tina Irissari, Henri de Maublanc 1977 France Duration: 1:36:52	“My sickness is that I see clearly.” Robert Bresson’s most controversial film (the French government banned viewers under the age of eighteen from seeing it, believing it would incite a rash of youth suicides) follows the journey of alienated teenager Charles (Antoine Monnier) as he searches for meaning in everything from religion and radical politics to drugs and psychoanalysis. Ultimately, all that may be left is the embrace of death. Made when the director was nearing eighty, this despairing yet undeniably resonant post–May ’68 manifesto is his deeply personal vision of the modern world as a spiritual wasteland, complete with footage of environmental degradation and nuclear destruction. No less an authority than Richard Hell declared it “by far the most punk movie ever made.”
	The Devil’s Eye Directed by Ingmar Bergman 1960 Sweden Duration: 1:28:04	Ingmar Bergman's 1960 fantasy-comedy follows a reincarnated Don Juan on his assignment from the Devil, to seduce a country parson's young daughter, tarnishing her purity and shattering her faith in love. But his evil aims are muddled as the charming girl causes him to question his own beliefs.
	Dheepan Directed by Jacques Audiard Starring Antonythasan Jesuthasan, Kalieaswari Srinivasan, Claudine Vinasithamby 2015 France	With this Palme d’Or–winning drama, which deftly combines seemingly disparate genres, French filmmaker Jacques Audiard cemented his status as a titan of contemporary world cinema. In an arresting performance, the nonprofessional actor Antonythasan Jesuthasan (himself a former child soldier) stars as a Tamil fighter who, along with a woman and a child posing as his wife and daughter, flees war-torn Sri Lanka only to land in a Paris suburb blighted by drugs. As the makeshift family embarks on a new life, DHEEPAN settles into an intimate social-realist mode before tightening into a dynamic turf-war thriller, as well as an unsettling study of the psychological aftereffects of combat. Searing and sensitive, Audiard’s film is a unique depiction of the refugee experience as a continuous crisis of identity.
	Diabolique Directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot Starring Simone Signoret, Véra Clouzot, Paul Meurisse 1955 France Duration: 1:57:08	Directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot • 1955 • France Starring Simone Signoret, Véra Clouzot, Paul Meurisse Before PSYCHO, PEEPING TOM, and REPULSION, there was DIABOLIQUE. This thriller from Henri-Georges Clouzot, which shocked audiences in Europe and the U.S., is the story of two women, the fragile wife and the willful mistress of the sadistic headmaster of a boys’ boarding school, who hatch a daring revenge plot. With its unprecedented narrative twists and terrifying images, DIABOLIQUE is a heart-grabbing benchmark in horror filmmaking, featuring outstanding performances by Simone Signoret, Véra Clouzot, and Paul Meurisse.
	Diamonds of the Night Directed by Jan Němec Starring Ladislav Janský, Antonín Kumbera 1964 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:07:52	With this simultaneously harrowing and lyrical debut feature, Jan Němec established himself as the most uncompromising visionary among the radical filmmakers who made up the Czechoslovak New Wave. Adapted from a novel by Arnošt Lustig, DIAMONDS OF THE NIGHT closely tracks two boys who escape from a concentration-camp transport and flee into the surrounding woods, hostile terrain where the brute realities of survival coexist with dreams, memories, and fragments of visual poetry. Along with visceral camera work by Jaroslav Kučera and Miroslav Ondříček—two of Czechoslovak cinema’s most influential cinematographers—Němec makes inventive use of fractured editing, elliptical storytelling, and flights of surrealism as he strips context away from this bare-bones tale, evoking the panicked delirium of consciousness lost in night and fog.
	Diary for My Children Directed by Márta Mészáros Starring Czinkóczi Zsuzsa, Jan Nowicki, Anna Polony 1984 Hungary Duration: 1:47:48	One of Hungary’s most acclaimed filmmakers, Márta Mészáros, drew on her own wartime experiences to craft this haunting portrait of a young woman coming of age at a turbulent historical moment. After losing her father in the Stalinist purges, strong-willed teenager Juli (Zsuzsa Czinkóczi) is brought back to Hungary to live with Magda (Anna Polony), a rigid Communist Party official who embodies the icy intellectual repression that has begun to take hold in the country. As she navigates an unfamiliar new world—one caught between the shock of World War II and the rising tide of Stalinism—Juli must fight to retain her sense of self. Winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes, DIARY FOR MY CHILDREN is a heartrending personal testimony from an artist revisiting the traumas of the past with a clear and critical eye.
	Diary for My Lovers Directed by Márta Mészáros Starring Czinkóczi Zsuzsa, Anna Polony, Jan Nowicki 1987 Hungary Duration: 2:12:03	Márta Mészáros’s follow-up to DIARY FOR MY CHILDREN picks up the story of teenage Juli (Zsuzsa Czinkóczi), the director’s alter ego, as she defies the wishes of her Stalinist aunt (Anna Polony) and leaves Hungary in order to pursue her dream of becoming a filmmaker in Moscow. There, Juli must navigate the bureaucratic propaganda machine that demands she conform to its ideas of “realism” while searching desperately for her missing father. Interweaving its heroine’s journey with the political upheavals of the postwar Eastern Bloc—from the death of Stalin to the short-lived promise of liberalization to the 1956 Hungarian Uprising—DIARY FOR MY LOVERS is a stirring depiction of a young woman finding her voice in a world intent on stifling it.
	Diary for My Mother and Father Directed by Márta Mészáros Starring Czinkóczi Zsuzsa, Mari Törőcsik, Jan Nowicki 1990 Hungary Duration: 1:56:38	The heartrending third installment of Márta Mészáros’s autobiographical Diary series continues to trace the journey of Juli (Zsuzsa Czinkóczi), a young orphan, through the tumult of postwar Hungary. Set in the wake of the failed 1956 Hungarian revolution, DIARY FOR MY MOTHER AND FATHER follows Juli as she leaves film school in Moscow and returns home to Budapest, where she discovers a shattered world in which brutality, fear, and anxiety permeate every aspect of life as Soviet forces tighten their grip on power. Seamlessly interweaving documentary newsreel footage with stirring human drama, Mészáros creates an at once epic and intimate portrait of history as she experienced it, bearing witness to both the horrors of totalitarian oppression and the courage of those who resist.

	Dillinger Is Dead Directed by Marco Ferreri Starring Michel Piccoli, Anita Pallenberg, Gino Lavagetto 1969 Italy Duration: 1:34:57	In this magnificently inscrutable late-sixties masterpiece, Marco Ferreri, one of European cinema’s most idiosyncratic auteurs, takes us through the looking glass to one seemingly routine night in the life of an Italian gas mask designer, played, in a tour de force performance, by New Wave icon Michel Piccoli. In his claustrophobic mod home, he pampers his pill-popping wife, seduces his maid, and uncovers a gun that may have once been owned by John Dillinger—and then things get even stranger. A surreal political missive about social malaise, DILLINGER IS DEAD (DILLINGER È MORTO) finds absurdity in the mundane. It is a singular experience, both illogical and grandly existential.
	Dinner at Eight Directed by George Cukor Starring Marie Dressler, Lionel Barrymore, Wallace Beery, John Barrymore 1933 United States Duration: 1:50:59	A sparkling ensemble cast—led by Jean Harlow, Lionel and John Barrymore, Marie Dressler, and Wallace Beery—lights up this quippy pre-Code tale of drawing room intrigue based on a play by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber. As an aspiring New York socialite prepares for a lavish dinner party, her guests find themselves consumed by a tangle of business, romantic, and personal crises—all of which come to a head on the big night. Masterfully directed by George Cukor and produced by David O. Selznick with his typical obsessive commitment to quality, DINNER AT EIGHT is a scintillating showcase for a stable of larger-than-life stars.
	Dirt Daughter Directed by Marnie Ellen Hertzler Starring Isobel Arnberg, Eric Brown 2019 United States Duration: 12:22	A lonely security guard—tasked with overseeing a building that houses the infrastructure of the internet—finds herself drawn into a digital dating vortex in this sinister, surrealist tale of love in the age of AI.
	Dirty Directed by Matthew Puccini Starring Morgan Sullivan, Manny Dunn 2020 United States Duration: 10:59	High school boyfriends Marco and Graham cut class for a romantic rendezvous in bed—but things don’t go quite as planned in this tender, emotionally raw snapshot of two queer teenagers navigating intimacy together for the first time.

	Discontinuity Directed by Lori Felker Starring Sam Howard, Ben Johnson, Henry Comerford 2015 United States Duration: 15:37	Tabitha and Stephen have been in each other’s lives for a long time, but because of their jobs they must periodically live apart. When Tabitha returns “home” after their longest separation, what they’ve been missing becomes abundantly clear and who they’re becoming makes it hard for them to see each other. As the interruptions and incongruities pile up, DISCONTINUITY playfully mirrors these missed connections through a time- and space-collapsing approach to editing and sound design.
	Dis-moi Directed by Chantal Akerman 1980 France Duration: 46:27	For a French television series about grandmothers, Chantal Akerman interviews elderly women who survived the Shoah, including her own mother, whose experience in the Holocaust reverberated throughout the artist’s life and work.

His solution? Since divorce is illegal, he hatches a plan to lure his spouse into the arms of another and then murder her in a justifiable effort to save his honor. The Criterion Collection is proud to present director Pietro Germi’s hilarious and cutting satire of Sicilian male-chauvinist culture, winner of the 1962 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
	The Divorce of Lady X Directed by Tim Whelan 1938 United Kingdom Duration: 1:31:32	Droll comedy of manners and morals that was based on a play and made as a film once before in 1932 as COUNSEL'S OPINION, directed by Allan Dwan. The four screenwriters' literate script of Biro's adaptation of the stage work takes Oberon to a London hotel where she is attending a costume party. The weather turns foul and she must spend the night at the hostelry with several other ladies who were unable to make it home. Olivier is a young lawyer occupying a suite and the manager prevails on him to give up some of the space in his copious quarters, but Olivier is adamant until Oberon uses her wiles on him. The result is that she gets the comfortable bed and Olivier must snooze on the floor in the next room. In the morning, she leaves before he can find out anything about this fascinating and attractive woman. Her alacrity causes him to wonder if she's married. When he arrives at his office, an old school chum contacts him and wants Olivier to handle his divorce. The man is sure his wife spent the night with another man at the same hotel we've seen earlier. Olivier can't believe this nerd could be married to Oberon. He isn't, of course, and his wife is someone else entirely. But Olivier doesn't know that yet. So it gets down to one of those British drawing-room farces where identities are mistaken, accusations are made, absurd situations occur, and Olivier and Oberon are together at the finale. Richardson is very funny as the man who wants a divorce from wife Barnes, who has been married thrice before and has backhanded fidelity on many other occasions. Oberon shows she can play light comedy as well as some of the heavier work she had to do over the years. The Technicolor tinting was supervised by long-time advisor Natalie Kalmus and, although it lent a nice air to the already-airy material, it was totally unnecessary.

Following the band with handheld cameras through the clubs and bars of their seven-city U.S. tour, director Lech Kowalski combined the footage with records of other contemporary bands, fashion trends, and punks of all stripes for a grainy, stained portrait of the punk movement at its peak (including the now-famous footage of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen in bed). Featuring rare interviews and concert performances by the Sex Pistols, the Dead Boys, Generation X (with Billy Idol), The Rich Kids, X-Ray Spex, and Sham 69, along with additional music from the Clash and Iggy Pop, D.O.A. is a you-are-there snapshot of a singular cultural moment.
	Documenteur Directed by Agnès Varda 1981 France Duration: 1:04:41	This small-scale fiction about a divorced mother and her child (played by Agnès Varda's own son) leading a quiet existence on L.A.'s margins was made directly after Mur Murs, and though DOCUMENTEUR is different in form and tone from that film, the two are complexly interwoven, with overlapping images and ideas. This meditative portrait of urban isolation overflows with subtle visual poetry.
	Dodes’ka-den Directed by Akira Kurosawa Starring Yoshitaka Zushi, Kin Sugai, Junzaburo Ban 1970 Japan Duration: 2:20:07	By turns tragic and transcendent, Akira Kurosawa’s film follows the daily lives of a group of people barely scraping by in a slum on the outskirts of Tokyo. Yet as desperate as their circumstances are, each of them—the homeless father and son envisioning their dream house; the young woman abused by her uncle; the boy who imagines himself a trolley conductor—finds reasons to carry on. The unforgettable DODES’KA-DEN was made at a tumultuous moment in Kurosawa’s life. And all of his hopes, fears, and artistic passion are on fervent display in this, his gloriously shot first color film.

Sidney Lumet’s New York City classic contains what may be the definitive Pacino performance—totally wired, thrillingly unpredictable—and flavorful footage of summer-in-the-city ’70s Brooklyn: you can practically feel the heat rising from the rubble.
	Dogora Directed by Ishiro Honda Starring Robert Dunham, Yosuke Natsuki, Yoko Fujiyama 1964 Japan Duration: 1:21:32	With DOGORA, Toho and director Ishiro Honda unleashed one of their wildest and weirdest creatures: a giant, jellyfish-like tentacled terror who descends from outer space and proceeds to consume the Earth’s supply of carbon-based matter—including the precious diamonds that a band of jewel thieves are determined to get their hands on. Combining monster-movie mayhem with a rollicking heist subplot results in a uniquely entertaining and offbeat entry in the kaiju canon.

	La dolce vita Directed by Federico Fellini Starring Marcello Mastroianni, Anita Ekberg, Anouk Aimée 1960 Italy Duration: 2:55:49	The biggest hit from the most popular Italian filmmaker of all time, LA DOLCE VITA rocketed Federico Fellini to international mainstream success—ironically, by offering a damning critique of the culture of stardom. A look at the darkness beneath the seductive lifestyles of Rome’s rich and glamorous, the film follows a notorious celebrity journalist (a sublimely cool Marcello Mastroianni) during a hectic week spent on the peripheries of the spotlight. This mordant picture was an incisive commentary on the deepening decadence of contemporary Europe, and it provided a prescient glimpse of just how gossip- and fame-obsessed our society would become.
	Dollar Directed by Gustaf Molander 1938 Sweden Duration: 1:17:54	Money can't buy you happiness, but a lack of money can certainly bring you unhappiness, as a group of friends and their wives discover. The almighty dollar tests all of the relationships in this Swedish comedy.
	Dolores Claiborne Directed by Taylor Hackford Starring Kathy Bates, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Christopher Plummer 1995 United States Duration: 2:11:34	Kathy Bates, who won a Best Actress Oscar for MISERY, commands the screen in another chilling Stephen King adaptation that’s part atmospheric whodunit, part searing human drama.

	Donkey Skin Directed by Jacques Demy Starring Catherine Deneuve, Jean Marais, Delphine Seyrig 1970 France Duration: 1:30:13	In this lovingly crafted, wildly eccentric adaptation of a classic French fairy tale, Jacques Demy casts Catherine Deneuve as a princess who must go into hiding as a scullery maid in order to fend off an unwanted marriage proposal—from her own father, the king (Jean Marais). A topsy-turvy riches-to-rags fable with songs by Michel Legrand, DONKEY SKIN creates a tactile fantasy world that’s perched on the border between the earnest and the satiric, and features Delphine Seyrig in a delicious supporting role as a fashionable fairy godmother.
	Dont Look Back Directed by D. A. Pennebaker 1967 United States Duration: 1:36:13	Bob Dylan is captured on-screen as he never would be again in this groundbreaking film from D. A. Pennebaker. The legendary documentarian finds Dylan in England during his 1965 tour, which would be his last as an acoustic artist. In this wildly entertaining vision of one of the twentieth century’s greatest artists, Dylan is surrounded by teen fans, gets into heated philosophical jousts with journalists, and kicks back with fellow musicians Joan Baez, Donovan, and Alan Price. Featuring some of Dylan’s most famous songs, including “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” and “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue,” DONT LOOK BACK is a radically conceived portrait of an American icon that has influenced decades of vérité behind-the-scenes documentaries.
	Don’t Play Us Cheap Directed by Melvin Van Peebles Starring Joe Keyes Jr., Rhetta Hughes, Avon Long 1972 United States Duration: 1:42:25	Melvin Van Peebles’s film version of his own Tony Award–nominated Broadway musical is a bold blend of theater and nervy, New Wave–inflected cinematic invention. A cast of Black stage and screen luminaries including Esther Rolle, Mabel King, and Avon Long stars in this charmingly offbeat, fablelike fantasy in which a pair of mischief-making devil-bats dispatched by Satan assume human form in order to wreak havoc on a Saturday-night house party in Harlem—only to find their diabolical plan thwarted by their hosts’ infectious generosity of spirit. Staged with ebullience, the original blues- and gospel-infused songs by Van Peebles burst forth in a life-affirming celebration of Black joy, tenderness, resilience, and strength.
	Don't Torture a Duckling Directed by Lucio Fulci Starring Florinda Bolkan, Barbara Bouchet, Tomas Milian 1972 Italy Duration: 1:45:07	From Lucio Fulci, the Godfather of Gore, comes one of the most powerful and unsettling giallo thrillers ever produced. When the sleepy rural village of Accendura is rocked by a series of murders of young boys, the superstitious locals are quick to assign blame, with the suspects including the local “witch” Maciara (Florinda Bolkan). With the bodies piling up and the community gripped by a thirst for bloody vengeance, two outsiders—city journalist Andrea (Tomas Milian) and spoiled rich girl Patrizia (Barbara Bouchet)—team up to crack the case. Deemed shocking at the time for its brutal violence, depiction of the Catholic Church, and themes of child murder and pedophilia, DON’T TORTURE A DUCKLING pushes the envelope of terror.

When they inadvertently link up with a dangerously alluring drifter (Johnathon Schaech), a chilled-out Cali bro (James Duval) and his spiky, foulmouthed girlfriend (Rose McGowan) find themselves on an increasingly violent, kinky, and darkly comic journey in which erotic tensions rise along with the body count. Working with a significant budget for the first time, Araki employs boldly stylized lighting and art direction to create a heightened sense of unreality in a shocking, shoegaze-soundtracked chronicle of young lives careening toward oblivion.
	Doors of the Past Directed by Rosine Mbakam 2011 Belgium Duration: 14:58	As the words of three Rwandan genocide survivors are delivered by white, affluent-looking Belgian women, director Rosine Mbakam asks us to reconsider whose lives and experiences are valued.

The factory is the final holdover from generations of Mexican-owned tequila plants in the highlands of Jalisco, the rest having folded to foreign corporations.

When an ailing monk recognizes a new brother at his cloister, he becomes deranged and attacks him. DOS MONJES recounts the men’s tragic shared past once from the point of view of each, heightening the contrasts between the two accounts with visual flourishes drawn from the language of German expressionism, including camera work by avant-garde photographer Agustín Jiménez.
	Double Indemnity Directed by Billy Wilder Starring Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, Edward G. Robinson 1944 United States Duration: 1:47:55	Has dialogue ever been more perfectly hard-boiled? Has a femme fatale ever been as deliciously wicked as Barbara Stanwyck? And has 1940s Los Angeles ever looked so seductively sordid? Working with cowriter Raymond Chandler, director Billy Wilder launched himself onto the Hollywood A-list with this epitome of film-noir fatalism from James M. Cain’s pulp novel. When slick salesman Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) walks into the swank home of dissatisfied housewife Phyllis Dietrichson (Stanwyck), he intends to sell insurance, but he winds up becoming entangled with her in a far more sinister way. Featuring scene-stealing supporting work from Edward G. Robinson and the chiaroscuro of cinematographer John F. Seitz, DOUBLE INDEMNITY is one of the most entertainingly perverse stories ever told and the standard by which all noir must be measured.
	The Double Life of Véronique Directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski Starring Irène Jacob, Philippe Volter, Sandrine Dumas 1991 France Duration: 1:38:11	Krzysztof Kieślowski’s international breakthrough remains one of his most beloved films, a ravishing, mysterious rumination on identity, love, and human intuition.

Though unknown to each other, the two women share an enigmatic, emotional bond, which Kieślowski details in gorgeous reflections, colors, and movements. Aided by Slawomir Idziak’s shimmering cinematography and Zbigniew Preisner’s haunting, operatic score, Kieślowski creates one of cinema's most purely metaphysical works. THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VÉRONIQUE is an unforgettable symphony of feeling.

In his fourth film as director, also known as WHEN BOYS LEAVE HOME, Alfred Hitchcock puts forth the earliest expressions of what would become his recurring themes: the “wrong man” and the transference of guilt.

Susanne (Eva Dahlbeck), head of a modeling agency, takes her protégée Doris (Harriet Andersson) to a fashion show in Göteborg, where Susanne makes contact with a former lover, and Doris finds herself pursued by a married dignitary (Gunnar Björnstrand). With its parallel narratives and subtle compositions, this film marked a transition between Ingmar Bergman’s early explorations of affairs of the heart and the more somber and virtuosic masterpieces to come later in the fifties.

WHY?, this second autobiographical film unfolds as a surreal profusion of memories, fantasies, flashbacks, and hallucinations as an ailing filmmaker (Nour el-Sherif) witnesses his life come flooding back to him while undergoing open-heart surgery.

	The Eight Mountains Directed by Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch Starring Luca Marinelli, Alessandro Borghi, Lupo Barbiero 2022 Italy Duration: 2:27:37	An epic journey of friendship and self-discovery, THE EIGHT MOUNTAINS is a landmark cinematic experience as intimate as it is monumental, as deep as it is expansive. Adapting the award-winning novel by Paolo Cognetti, directors Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch (THE BROKEN CIRCLE BREAKDOWN) portray through observant detail and stunning landscape photography the profound, complex relationship between Pietro (Luca Marinelli) and Bruno (Alessandro Borghi), who first meet as children when Pietro’s Milan family vacations in an isolated village at the base of the Alpine slopes. As they mature, Pietro becomes estranged from his business-minded father (Filippo Timi) even as Bruno—emotionally abandoned by his own father—takes up the role of surrogate son. Pietro’s father’s death reunites the two in realizing his dream of constructing a cabin on the Alps, and the project and subsequent explorations of the awe-inspiring mountain range bond Pietro and Bruno in a shared purpose. Yet despite their connection, the purity of nature and the demands of society both threaten to drive the men to pursue different, possibly irrevocably divergent paths on the vertiginous terrain of life. “Intoxicating . . . A tender story about love and friendship.” —Manohla Dargis, The New York Times “A stunning, often profound and frequently jaw-droppingly gorgeous tale . . . The intoxicating atmosphere of THE EIGHT MOUNTAINS is a cherished retreat I’m already eager to revisit.” —Jake Coyle, AP “A movie of soaring visual majesty and churning emotional force.” —Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times

	ekleipsis Directed by Tran, T. Kim-Trang 1998 United States Duration: 22:55	In 1992, Tran T. Kim-Trang came across a New York Times article about a group of hysterically blind Cambodian women in Long Beach, California, known as the largest group of such people in the world. Hysterical blindness is sight loss brought about by traumatic stress, and has few or no physical causes. EKLEIPSIS delves into two histories: the history of hysteria and the Cambodian civil war. Weaving together texts of these histories along with a composite case study of some of the hysterically blind Cambodian women and the artist’s mother, EKLEIPSIS speaks about the somatization of pain and loss.
	Elena and Her Men Directed by Jean Renoir Starring Ingrid Bergman, Jean Marais, Mel Ferrer 1956 France Duration: 1:38:39	Set amid the military maneuvers and Quatorze Juillet carnivals of turn-of-the-century France, Jean Renoir’s delirious romantic comedy ELENA AND HER MEN (ELENA ET LES HOMMES) stars a radiant Ingrid Bergman as a beautiful, but impoverished, Polish princess who drives men of all stations to fits of desperate love.

	Elephant Boy Directed by Robert Flaherty and Zoltán Korda 1937 United Kingdom Duration: 1:22:17	Robert Flaherty and Zoltán Korda shared best director honors at the Venice Film Festival for collaborating on this charming translation of Rudyard Kipling’s “Jungle Book” story “Toomai of the Elephants.” A harmonious mix of the two filmmakers’ styles, Flaherty's adeptness at ethnographic documentary meeting Korda's taste for grand adventure, ELEPHANT BOY also served as the breakthrough showcase for the thirteen-year-old Sabu, whose beaming performance as a young mahout leading the British on an expedition made him a major international star.

Taking place over the course of one restless Paris night, Malle’s richly atmospheric crime thriller stars Moreau and Maurice Ronet as lovers whose plan to murder her husband (his boss) goes awry, setting off a chain of events that seals their fate. A career touchstone for its director and female star, ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS was an astonishing beginning to Malle’s eclectic body of work, and it established Moreau as one of the most captivating actors ever to grace the screen.
	Elisa, vida mía Directed by Carlos Saura Starring Fernando Rey, Geraldine Chaplin, Isabel Mestres 1977 Spain Duration: 2:09:00	In ELISA, VIDA MÍA (“Elisa, My Dear”), Carlos Saura explores one of his recurring obsessions—interplay between past and present, memory and reality—through a spellbinding portrait of a complex father-daughter relationship.

	Elsa la rose Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Louis Aragon, Elsa Triolet, Michel Piccoli 1966 France Duration: 21:04	Ostensibly a profile of the legendary surrealist poet Louis Aragon, this short documentary instead focuses on his wife, Elsa Triolet, a Prix Goncourt–awarded writer in her own right who nevertheless remains in her husband’s shadow.
	Elvira Madigan Directed by Bo Widerberg Starring Pia Degermark, Thommy Berggren, Lennart Malmer 1967 Sweden Duration: 1:30:33	Bo Widerberg reached new heights of visual lyricism with this sublime retelling of a real-life nineteenth-century romantic tragedy. Bound by their all-consuming desire, a young circus tightrope walker (Pia Degermark, winner of the Cannes Best Actress prize) and a lieutenant (Tommy Berggren) with a wife and children forsake everything to be together and escape to the countryside—only to see their lovers’ idyll gradually give way to poverty and desperation. With its painterly, sun-dappled images and indelible use of Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 21, this 1960s art-house sensation is the most ravishing expression of Widerberg’s recurring theme of the tension between individual freedom and social responsibility.
	The Emigrant Directed by Youssef Chahine Starring Youssra, Khaled el-Nabawy, Mahmoud Hemida 1994 Egypt Duration: 2:11:05	One of director Youssef Chahine’s most controversial works ignited a firestorm of criticism from both Islamic and Christian voices, who objected to its liberal reinterpretation of the biblical story of Joseph (here renamed Ram to skirt censorship that forbids the depiction of religious figures). Nevertheless the film proved one of Chahine’s biggest commercial triumphs at home, a passionate evocation of ancient Egypt that uses the story—in which a young dreamer (Khaled el-Nabawy) leaves behind his backwards rural home and sets off to the intellectual center of Egypt on a journey fraught with political and sexual peril—to comment on deeply personal ideas about resistance, sacrifice, and liberation.
	Emitaï Directed by Ousmane Sembène Starring Robert Fontaine, Michel Remaudeau, Pierre Blanchard 1971 Senegal Duration: 1:41:12	With revolutionary outrage, Ousmane Sembène chronicles a period during World War II when French colonial forces in Senegal conscripted young men of the Diola people and attempted to seize rice stores for soldiers back in Europe. As the tribe’s patriarchal leaders pray and make sacrifices to their gods, the women in the community refuse to yield their harvests, incurring the French army’s wrath. With a deep understanding of the oppressive forces that have shaped Senegalese history, EMITAÏ explores the strains that colonialism places upon cultural traditions and, in the process, discovers a people’s hidden reserves of rebellion and dignity.
	Emotion Directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi 1966 Japan Duration: 39:35	Nobuhiko Obayashi’s giddily experimental short—the story of a young woman who falls in love with a vampire—exhibits the boundless avant-garde visual imagination and unique approach to horror that he would soon unleash upon the world in his celebrated cult sensation HOUSE.
	The Emperor Jones Directed by Dudley Murphy Starring Paul Robeson, Dudley Digges, Frank Wilson 1933 United States Duration: 1:16:16	Of all Paul Robeson’s eleven starring film performances, by far his most iconic was his breakthrough in the big-screen adaptation of Eugene O’Neill’s THE EMPEROR JONES (1933). He was already a legend for his stage incarnation of Brutus Jones, a Pullman porter who powers his way to the rule of a Caribbean island, but with this, his first sound-era film role, his regal image was married to his booming voice for eternity. With THE EMPEROR JONES, Robeson became the first African-American leading man in mainstream movies and, he said, gained a deeper understanding of cinema's potential to change racial misconceptions. Previously censored, THE EMPEROR JONES is presented here in its most complete form.
	The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On Directed by Kazuo Hara 1987 Japan Duration: 2:01:20	Made with a righteous political anger that anticipates the incendiary polemics of documentarians such as Michael Moore and Joshua Oppenheimer, Kazuo Hara’s most renowned film is a harrowing confrontation with one of Japanese history’s darkest chapters: the atrocities committed by the country’s military during World War II. Hara’s unforgettable subject and collaborator in THE EMPEROR’S NAKED ARMY MARCHES ON is Kenzo Okuzaki—a former soldier, convicted murderer, and defiantly anti-establishment agitator—who has made it his life’s mission to expose the crimes committed by Japanese officers against their own men while stationed in New Guinea. As the often-violent Okuzaki resorts to extreme measures in his crusade to find out the truth about what happened to two soldiers murdered by their commanders, what emerges is at once a shocking piece of investigative journalism, a courageous condemnation of militarism and blind obedience, and a riveting portrait of a single-minded man driven by a raw fury bordering on madness.
	Empire of Passion Directed by Nagisa Oshima Starring Tatsuya Fuji, Kazuko Yoshiyuki, Takahiro Tamura 1978 Japan Duration: 1:45:21	With an arresting mix of eroticism and horror, Oshima plunges the viewer into a nightmarish tale of guilt and retribution in EMPIRE OF PASSION (AI NO BOREI). Set in a Japanese village at the end of the nineteenth century, the film details the emotional and physical downfall of a married woman and her younger lover following their decision to murder her husband and dump his body in a well. EMPIRE OF PASSION was Oshima’s only true kaidan (Japanese ghost story), and the film, a savage, unrelenting experience, earned him the best director award at the Cannes Film Festival.
	Empire Records Directed by Allan Moyle Starring Anthony LaPaglia, Liv Tyler, Renée Zellweger 1995 United States Duration: 1:30:06	The ultimate in Gen X slacker cinema, this box-office bomb turned certified cult classic unfolds over the course of one pivotal day at Empire Records, an independent Delaware vinyl shop where news that the store is at risk of being sold to a corporate megachain brings its misfit employees together in a last-ditch effort to save it. Featuring a fresh-faced ensemble cast lead by Liv Tyler, Ethan Embry, and Renée Zellweger and a definitive ’90s alt-rock soundtrack, EMPIRE RECORDS is an irresistible, funny-sweet ode to the decade’s anti-sellout ethos.
	Encounters of the Spooky Kind Directed by Sammo Hung Starring Sammo Hung, Paul Chung Fat, Wu Ma 1980 Hong Kong Duration: 1:43:51	The great Sammo Hung wrote, directed, and stars in this outrageously entertaining Hong Kong cinema landmark—one of the first HK horror-comedy-action hybrids and the film that launched the hopping-vampire craze that would proliferate throughout the 1980s. He plays a fearless but naive rickshaw driver who is tricked into spending the night at a haunted temple—not knowing that the whole thing is a set up by his adulterous wife’s lover to kill him! Ghosts, zombies, and, yes, the OG hopping vampire (played by Yuen Biao) are all on hand in an eerily atmospheric showcase for Hung’s ingenious comic-action choreography.

	End of the Century Directed by Lucio Castro Starring Juan Barberini, Ramón Pujol, Mía Maestro 2019 Argentina Duration: 1:24:13	In his alluring debut feature, Lucio Castro offers both a sun-soaked European travelogue and an epic, decades-spanning romance. When Ocho (Juan Barberini), a thirtysomething Argentine poet on vacation in Barcelona, spots Javi (Ramón Pujol), a Spaniard from Berlin, from the balcony of his Airbnb, the attraction is subtle but persistent. After a missed connection on the beach, a third chance encounter escalates to a seemingly random hookup. But are these two merely beautiful strangers in a foreign city or are they part of each other’s histories—and maybe even their destinies? Castro deliberately parses out mystery after mystery, leading the audience on a journey of discovery as the two men discover themselves and each other. With sumptuous lensing of a Barcelona summertime and tangible chemistry between the actors, END OF THE CENTURY is a love story that echoes across time.
	An Enemy of the People Directed by Satyajit Ray 1989 India Duration: 1:39:38	In Satyajit Ray's absorbing contemporary adaptation of a play by Henrik Ibsen, a good-hearted doctor discovers that the serious illness befalling the citizens of his small Bengali town may be due to a contamination of the holy water at the local temple. His findings are met not with public gratitude but with rancor, as well as opposition from local authorities, who are afraid the news will keep visitors away. Stately in style but with a fiery debate at its heart,An Enemy of the People gets at the tension between religion and science in everyday Indian life.
	L’enfance nue Directed by Maurice Pialat Starring Michel Terrazon, Marie-Louise Thierry, René Thierry 1968 France Duration: 1:23:09	The singular French director Maurice Pialat puts his distinctive stamp on the lost-youth film with this devastating portrait of a damaged foster child. We watch as ten-year-old François (Michel Terrazon) is shuttled from one home to another, his behavior growing increasingly erratic, his bonds with his surrogate parents perennially fraught. In this, his feature debut, Pialat treats that potentially sentimental scenario with astonishing sobriety and stark realism. With its full-throttle mixture of emotionality and clear-eyed skepticism, L’ENFANCE NUE (NAKED CHILDHOOD) was advance notice of one of the most masterful careers in French cinema, and remains one of Pialat’s finest works.
	Les enfants terribles Directed by Jean-Pierre Melville Starring Nicole Stéphane, Edouard Dermithe 1950 France Duration: 1:47:00	Writer Jean Cocteau and director Jean-Pierre Melville joined forces for this elegant adaptation of Cocteau’s immensely popular, wicked novel about the wholly unholy relationship between a brother and sister. Elisabeth (a remarkable Nicole Stéphane) and Paul (Edouard Dermithe) close themselves off from the world by playing an increasingly intense series of mind games with the people who dare enter their lair, until romance and jealousy intrude. Melville’s operatic camera movements and Cocteau’s perverse, poetic approach to character merge in LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES to create one of French cinema’s greatest, and most surprising, meetings of the minds.
	Ennui ennui Directed by Gabriel Abrantes Starring Edith Scob, Laetitia Dosch, Omid Rawendah 2013 France Duration: 33:51	With a cast featuring Edith Scob and Esther Garrel, this delirious espionage farce resembles what might have happened if ZERO DARK THIRTY had been written by Georges Bataille.

	The Entertainer Directed by Tony Richardson Starring Laurence Olivier, Brenda de Banzie, Roger Livesey 1960 United Kingdom Duration: 1:43:49	Starring Laurence Olivier, Brenda de Banzie, Roger Livesey “Life is a beastly mess,” states the great Laurence Olivier in this superb drama of the seedy music-hall life. He plays Archie Rice, a third-rate vaudevillian whose song-and-dance routines are crusty, unappealing, and decidedly boring. His wife (Brenda de Banzie) is a shrewish alcoholic who nags him constantly about his failures. His father (Roger Livesey), a once-famous entertainer, is dying, yet Archie prevails upon him to back just one more tawdry musical revue. Archie’s world comes tumbling down onto the garbage heap he has built up through a life of self-deception, sneaky schemes, and ruthless unconcern for those who love him. Based on the play by Angry Young Man John Osborne and directed by British New Wave trailblazer Tony Richardson, THE ENTERTAINER is built around one of Olivier’s most riveting performances.
	Entr'acte Directed by René Clair 1924 France Duration: 20:23	One of the seminal films of the surrealist art movement, ENTR’ACTE (1924) brought together three of the great French artists of its time: Francis Picabia, Erik Satie, and René Clair. Presented in two parts as the introduction and intermission of a ballet, ENTR’ACTE has the twin virtues of formal innovation and extraordinary humor.
	EO Directed by Jerzy Skolimowski Starring Sandra Drzymalska, Lorenzo Zurzolo, Mateusz Kościukiewicz 2022 Poland Duration: 1:28:33	With his first feature in seven years, legendary filmmaker Jerzy Skolimowski (DEEP END, MOONLIGHTING) directs one of his most free and visually inventive films yet, following the travels of a nomadic gray donkey named EO. After being removed from the traveling circus, which is the only life he’s ever known, EO begins a trek across the Polish and Italian countryside, experiencing cruelty and kindness in equal measure, all the while observing the follies and triumphs of humankind. During his travels, EO is both helped and hindered by a cast of characters including a young Italian priest (Lorenzo Zurzolo), a countess (Isabelle Huppert), and a rowdy Polish soccer team. Nominated for the Academy Award for Best International Feature, and featuring immersive, stunning cinematography by Michal Dymek coupled with Pawel Mykietyn’s resonant score, Skolimowski’s film puts the viewer in the perspective of its four-legged protagonist on a quest for freedom.
	Epilogue: The Palpable Invisibility of Life Directed by Tran, T. Kim-Trang 2006 United States Duration: 13:52	EPILOGUE: THE PALPABLE INVISIBILITY OF LIFE is the final chapter in the Blindness Series, a body of eight videos on blindness and its metaphors that was begun in 1992. The inspiration for the series came from a 1990 exhibition Jacques Derrida curated for the Louvre Museum, titled Memoirs of the Blind. When Derrida died in 2004, EPILOGUE shifted focus from his work on mourning to ruminate on the visible and invisible traces one leaves behind, the cycle of life and death, and imaging technologies that allowed the artist to see her unborn son.
	Equinox Directed by Jack Woods Starring Edward Connell, Barbara Hewitt, Frank Boers Jr. 1970 United States Duration: 1:22:38	Before he took you to a galaxy far, far away, before he brought you face-to-face with living, breathing prehistoric beasts, Dennis Muren, the future nine-time Oscar-winning visual-effects artist (STAR WARS, JURASSIC PARK), joined forces with a group of talented young filmmakers to create an homage to the creature features of yore in the eerie monster mash EQUINOX. Deep within the woods and canyons of California, four teenagers happen upon an ancient book containing the secrets of a strange, malevolent world that coexists with that of mankind. This $6,500-budget wonder (originally called THE EQUINOX . . . A JOURNEY INTO THE SUPERNATURAL) was picked up for distribution by producer Jack H. Harris (THE BLOB), who shot new footage for the film with writer-director Jack Woods and released it in 1970 as EQUINOX. Since then, the film has gained a passionate cult following and inspired succeeding generations of horror/fantasy filmmakers.
	Equinox Flower Directed by Yasujiro Ozu 1958 Japan Duration: 1:58:05	Later in his career, Ozu started becoming increasingly sympathetic with the younger generation, a shift that was cemented in Equinox Flower, his gorgeously detailed first color film, about an old-fashioned father and his newfangled daughter.
	Eraserhead Directed by David Lynch Starring Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Judith Anna Roberts 1977 United States Duration: 1:29:17	David Lynch’s 1977 debut feature, ERASERHEAD, is both a lasting cult sensation and a work of extraordinary craft and beauty.

	L’escale Directed by Paul Shemisi, Nizar Saleh, Rob Jacobs, and Anne Reijniers 2022 Congo Duration: 14:12	Filmmakers Paul Shemisi and Nizar Saleh travel from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Germany for a screening of their new film. During a layover in Angola, they’re stopped at the airport because the airline doesn’t believe their documents to be real and taken to an illegal detention center. The filmmakers’ testimony—which offers eye-opening insight into the impossibility of safe and carefree travel for Congolese artists—stands in stark contrast to the seemingly peaceful images of cloud formations passing by an airplane window.
	Les escargots Directed by René Laloux 1966 France Duration: 11:25	FANTASTIC PLANET was not the first collaboration between writer-director René Laloux and illustrator Roland Topor. Presented here is a short film they made together in the mid-1960s: LES ESCARGOTS.

	Europa ’51 Directed by Roberto Rossellini Starring Ingrid Bergman, Alexander Knox 1952 Italy Duration: 1:58:18	In the Italian-language version of this film, Ingrid Bergman plays a wealthy, self-absorbed Rome socialite racked by guilt over the shocking death of her young son. As a way of dealing with her grief and finding meaning in her life, she decides to devote her time and money to the city’s poor and sick. Her newfound, single-minded activism leads to conflicts with her husband and questions about her sanity. The intense, often overlooked EUROPA ’51 was, according to Rossellini, a retelling of his own THE FLOWERS OF ST. FRANCIS from a female perspective. This unabashedly political but sensitively conducted investigation of modern sainthood was the director’s favorite of his films.
	Europa Europa Directed by Agnieszka Holland 1990 Poland Duration: 1:52:22	As World War II splits Europe, sixteen-year-old German Jew Salomon (Marco Hofschneider) is separated from his family after fleeing with them to Poland, and finds himself reluctantly assuming various ideological identities in order to hide the deadly secret of his Jewishness. He is bounced from a Soviet orphanage, where he plays a dutiful Stalinist, to the Russian front, where he hides in plain sight as an interpreter for the German army, and back to his home country, where he takes on his most dangerous role: a member of the Hitler Youth. Based on the real-life experiences of Salomon Perel, Agnieszka Holland’s wartime tour de force EUROPA EUROPA is a breathless survival story told with the verve of a comic adventure, an ironic refutation of the Nazi idea of racial purity, and a complex portrait of a young man caught up in shifting historical calamities and struggling to stay alive.

	Eva Directed by Joseph Losey Starring Jeanne Moreau, Stanley Baker, Virna Lisi 1962 Italy Duration: 1:49:31	Blacklisted ex-Hollywood director Joseph Losey’s reinvention as a voice of coolly stylized European art-house cinema in many ways began with this Venice-set tale of romantic obsession, gorgeously photographed in modernist monochrome. Stanley Baker plays a successful but fraudulent Welsh writer whose delirious infatuation with the alluring call girl Eva (Jeanne Moreau), who cares only for money, leads him down a path of degradation and personal tragedy. Moreau, at her most sultry chic, makes for one of the screen’s most striking and unforgettable femme fatales.
	Eva Directed by Gustaf Molander 1948 Sweden Duration: 1:37:13	A young sailor romances a beautiful woman named Eva while haunted by the guilt over a deadly accident he caused during childhood.

	The Everlasting Flame Directed by Gu Jun 2010 China Duration: 1:41:11	Gu Jun's film for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad Beijing 2008 strikes an adroit balance between the intimate and the spectacular. Gu starts by flitting between various places around the world where individual athletes are training and captures director Zhang Yimou (RAISE THE RED LANTERN, HERO) discussing logistics with his team and imparting his vision for the Opening Ceremony. Gu has what appears to be total access to the competitors, inside and outside the stadia.
	Everybody Rides the Carousel Directed by John Hubley 1976 United States Duration: 1:12:56	Inspired by psychologist Erik Erikson’s theories of human social development, this singular animated journey takes viewers through the eight stages of life, from birth to death. The freewheeling watercolor visuals of animators John and Faith Hubley, striking score (featuring Dizzy Gillespie), and voice work from a cast that ranges from the Hubleys’ children to Meryl Streep come together in a ride on the “carousel of life” that’s as much an educational film as it is a one-of-a-kind full-sensory experience.
	Everybody’s Watching Directed by 2023 Duration: 18:55	In New York City, a group of volunteers launch the first Muslim Patrol to combat the rising hate crimes in their community while also solving issues of their own.
	Every Man for Himself Directed by Jean-Luc Godard Starring Isabelle Huppert, Jacques Dutronc, Nathalie Baye 1980 France Duration: 1:28:16	Directed by Jean-Luc Godard • 1980 • France Starring Isabelle Huppert, Jacques Dutronc, Nathalie Baye After a decade in the wilds of avant-garde and early video experimentation, Jean-Luc Godard returned to commercial cinema with this star-driven work of social commentary, while remaining defiantly intellectual and formally cutting-edge. EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF, featuring a script by Jean-Claude Carrière and Anne-Marie Miéville, looks at the sexual and professional lives of three people, a television director (Jacques Dutronc), his ex-girlfriend (Nathalie Baye), and a prostitute (Isabelle Huppert), to create a meditative story about work, relationships, and the notion of freedom. Made twenty years into his career, it was, Godard said, his “second first film.”
	Every-Night Dreams Directed by Mikio Naruse Starring Sumiko Kurishima, Tatsuo Saito, Teruko Kojima 1933 Japan Duration: 1:04:23	In the formally ravishing EVERY-NIGHT DREAMS, set in the dockside neighborhoods of Tokyo, a single mother works tirelessly as a Ginza bar hostess to ensure a better life for her young son—until her long-lost husband returns.
	Everyone Off to Jail Directed by Luis García Berlanga Starring José Sazatornil, Agustín González, José Sacristán 1993 Spain Duration: 1:39:30	Luis García Berlanga’s penultimate film is a raucous screwball satire in which a prison in Valencia hosts an event recognizing the political prisoners jailed during Franco’s reign. As an oddball mix of misfits—including a toilet salesman, a mobster, a politician, and a communist priest—convene for a most unusual reunion, the proceedings quickly spiral out of control. Wild scatological humor meets sharp-edged social commentary for a caustic look at the state of post-Franco Spain that won Goya Awards for best film and director.
	Everything Goes Wrong Directed by Seijun Suzuki 1960 Japan Duration: 1:11:26	Everything goes wrong when Jiro tries to break up his mother's relationship with a business man.
	Evil Does Not Exist Directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi Starring Hitoshi Omika, Ryuji Kosaka, Ayaka Shibutani 2023 Japan Duration: 1:46:34	Directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi • 2023 • Japan Starring Hitoshi Omika, Ryuji Kosaka, Ayaka Shibutani In a secluded, snowy mountain village, widower and single father Takumi (Hitoshi Omika) leads a modest life gathering water, wood, and wild wasabi for a friend’s udon shop. Yet this peaceful existence is threatened when a pair of corporate reps (Ryuji Kosaka and Ayaka Shibutani) arrive to launch a glamping site, sparking resistance from community members who fear the project’s potentially pernicious impact on the environment. When Takumi—a respected local figure—is offered the conciliatory role of site caretaker, it becomes unclear where his loyalties lie. EVIL DOES NOT EXIST, Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s much-anticipated follow-up to his Academy Award–winning DRIVE MY CAR, is a haunting, suspenseful meditation on humankind’s thorny relationship with nature, consumerism, and itself. Inspired by a collaboration with composer Eiko Ishibashi, the director showcases his masterful command of pacing and atmosphere to uncover the destructive forces lurking beneath the thin veneer of civilization.
	The Executioner Directed by Luis García Berlanga Starring Nino Manfredi, Emma Penella, José Isbert 1963 Spain Duration: 1:31:58	This masterpiece of black humor, beloved in Spain but too little seen elsewhere, threads a scathing critique of Franco-era values through a macabre farce about an undertaker who marries an executioner's daughter and reluctantly takes over her father's job so the family can keep their government-allotted apartment. As caustic today as it was in 1963, this early collaboration between Luis Garcia Berlanga and his longtime screenwriter Rafael Azcona is an unerring depiction of what Berlanga called "the invisible traps that society sets up for us." A furiously funny personal attack on capital punishment, THE EXECUTIONER evaded the state censors who sought to suppress it, and today is regarded as one of the greatest Spanish films of all time.
	Executioners Directed by Johnnie To and Ching Siu-tung Starring Anita Mui, Michelle Yeoh, Maggie Cheung 1993 Hong Kong Duration: 1:37:48	Maggie Cheung, Anita Mui, and Michelle Yeoh return in this gritty, postapocalyptic sequel to THE HEROIC TRIO. Following a devastating nuclear attack, Hong Kong’s supply of clean water has fallen into the hands of a masked maniac (Anthony Wong) intent on seizing political power—forcing the three fearless fighters to settle their differences and unite to stop him. Darker in tone than the original, EXECUTIONERS finds Johnnie To and codirector/martial-arts choreographer Ching Siu-tung continuing to push their whirlwind action set pieces to new levels of cartoon craziness, while adding an abundance of grungy, dystopian atmosphere and a fresh dose of antiauthoritarian attitude.

	The Exiles Directed by Kent MacKenzie Starring Yvonne Williams, Homer Nish, Tom Reynolds 1961 United States Duration: 1:13:08	A major work of American independent cinema, Kent Mackenzie’s revelatory fiction-documentary hybrid chronicles a night in the life of a group of twentysomething Native Americans who were relocated or forcibly removed from their reservations in the 1950s to live in the “blighted” Bunker Hill district of Los Angeles. Built around a scripted narrative based on interviews with its subjects-turned-actors, THE EXILES is an at once gritty and poetic depiction of Los Angeles after dark and a haunting, intimate record of life on the margins of mid-twentieth-century America.
	Exotica Directed by Atom Egoyan Starring Bruce Greenwood, Mia Kirshner, Elias Koteas 1994 Canada Duration: 1:43:39	Atom Egoyan’s acclaimed commercial breakthrough is both a seductive, hypnotic thriller and a shattering meditation on loss and grief. At the eponymous strip club, Francis (Bruce Greenwood), a deeply depressed tax auditor, pays nightly visits to Christina (Mia Kirshner), a young dancer with whom he develops a curiously symbiotic relationship. Swirling around them are Eric (Elias Koteas), the house DJ, who is jealousy possessive of Christina; Zoe (Arsinée Khanjian), the club’s owner, who is pregnant by Eric; and Thomas (Don McKellar), a smuggler of rare bird eggs whose activities Francis is investigating. Each is connected by a history of trauma and despair, the depths of which gradually come into haunting focus.
	Experience Directed by Abbas Kiarostami Starring Parviz Naderi, Hossein Yarmohammadi, Andre Govalovish 1973 Iran Duration: 56:31	Based on a story by Amir Naderi, who also cowrote the film, this slice of a fourteen-year-old boy’s life follows his efforts to fend for himself in the big city, working as a tea server and assistant in a photographer’s studio, running errands, and, briefly, exchanging glances with a pretty middle-class girl. With no music and little dialogue, and distinguished by its darkly elegant compositions, the film offers an impressionistic meditation on adolescent solitude.
	Experimental Treatment of a Hemorrhage in a Dog Directed by Jean Painlevé 1930 France Duration: 04:05	Jean Painlevé made numerous research films, strictly with the scientific and university communities in mind. EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENT OF A HEMORRHAGE IN A DOG, an educational short about an experimental canine surgery, is presented here in its original silent version. (Presented without score.)
	Experiment in Terror Directed by Blake Edwards Starring Lee Remick, Glenn Ford 1962 United States Duration: 2:03:24	Following the success of BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S, producer-director Blake Edwards took a detour into noir territory with this ultra-stylish, mood-drenched thriller. Lee Remick plays a San Francisco bank clerk who is plunged into a waking nightmare when she becomes the unwitting pawn in a sadistic killer’s heist scheme, while Glenn Ford is the FBI agent charged with unraveling the case. Featuring lustrous black-and-white cinematography and a cool jazz score by Henry Mancini, EXPERIMENT IN TERROR bristles with voyeuristic, psychosexual unease, striking a tone that has invited comparisons to the work of Alfred Hitchcock and David Lynch.
	Exterior Turbulence Directed by Sofia Theodore-Pierce 2023 United States Duration: 11:13	A year of stormy weather and temporal rupture is recalled in fragments in this collage of seizure dreams, horses, long-distance conversations from bed, and loose reenactments from Marguerite Duras’s BAXTER, VERA BAXTER.
	The Exterminating Angel Directed by Luis Buñuel Starring Silvia Pinal, Jacqueline Andere, José Baviera 1962 Mexico Duration: 1:33:23	A group of high-society friends are invited to a mansion for dinner and find themselves inexplicably unable to leave, in Luis Buñuel’s daring masterpiece THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL (EL ÁNGEL EXTERMINADOR). Made just one year after the director’s international sensation VIRIDIANA, this film, full of eerie comic absurdity, continues Buñuel’s wicked takedown of the rituals and dependencies of the frivolous upper classes.
	Extreme Private Eros: Love Song 1974 Directed by Kazuo Hara Starring Miyuki Takeda, Sachiko Kobayashi, Kazuo Hara 1974 Japan Duration: 1:33:12	When his wife, the outspoken feminist Miyuki Takeda, announced that she was leaving him in order to find herself, Kazuo Hara began this raw, intensely personal documentary as a way to both maintain a connection to the woman he still cared for and to make sense of their complex relationship. Granted at times shockingly intimate access to Miyuki’s personal life, Hara follows her wayward journey toward liberation as she explores her sexuality with both men and women, becomes pregnant and raises a family as a single mother, and grows increasingly disenchanted with the constraints of traditional social structures. A film as radical, complicated, and uncompromising as Miyuki herself, EXTREME PRIVATE EROS explodes the boundaries between subject and filmmaker to create a stunningly candid portrait of a woman willing to risk everything in her quest to live on her own terms.
	The Eyes of Orson Welles Directed by Mark Cousins Starring Mark Cousins, Jack Klaff, Beatrice Welles 2018 United Kingdom Duration: 1:55:09	Visionary cinema historian Mark Cousins (THE STORY OF FILM: AN ODYSSEY) charts the unknown territory of the imagination of one of the twentieth century’s most revolutionary artists. Granted unprecedented access to hundreds of sketches, drawings, and paintings by Orson Welles—tantalizing, never-before-seen glimpses into the filmmaker’s rich inner life—Cousins sheds new light on the experiences, dreams, desires, and obsessions that fueled his creativity and inspired his masterpieces. Playful, profound, and as daringly iconoclastic as its subject, THE EYES OF ORSON WELLES is a one-of-a-kind work of visual archaeology, a fresh way of looking at a cinematic giant whose singular worldview—fiercely humanist, defiantly antiauthoritarian—resonates now more urgently than ever.
	Eyes Without a Face Directed by Georges Franju Starring Pierre Brasseur, Alida Valli, François Guérin 1960 France Duration: 1:30:19	At his secluded chateau in the French countryside, a brilliant, obsessive doctor (Pierre Brasseur) attempts a radical plastic surgery to restore the beauty of his daughter’s disfigured countenance—at a horrifying price. EYES WITHOUT A FACE, directed by the supremely talented Georges Franju, is rare in horror cinema for its odd mixture of the ghastly and the lyrical, and it has been a major influence on the genre in the decades since its release. There are images here—of terror, of gore, of inexplicable beauty—that once seen are never forgotten.
	Eyimofe (This Is My Desire) Directed by Arie Esiri and Chuko Esiri Starring Jude Akuwudike, Temi Ami-Williams, Tomiwa Edun 2020 Nigeria Duration: 1:56:41	This revelatory, award-winning debut feature from codirectors (and twin brothers) Arie and Chuko Esiri is a heartrending and hopeful portrait of everyday human endurance in Lagos, Nigeria. Shot on richly textured 16 mm film and infused with the spirit of neorealism, EYIMOFE (THIS IS MY DESIRE) traces the journeys of two distantly connected strangers—Mofe (Jude Akuwudike), an electrician dealing with the fallout of a family tragedy, and Rosa (Temi Ami-Williams), a hairdresser supporting her pregnant teenage sister—as they each pursue their dream of starting a new life in Europe while bumping up against the harsh economic realities of a world in which every interaction is a transaction.

	The Fabulous Baron Munchausen Directed by Karel Zeman Starring Milos Kopecký, Rudolf Jelínek 1962 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:25:17	In THE FABULOUS BARON MUNCHAUSEN, Karel Zeman conjures the adventures of the legendary, boastful baron, whose whirlwind exploits take him from the moon to eighteenth-century Turkey to the belly of a whale and beyond. A kaleidoscopic marvel that blends live action with techniques including stop-motion, cutout collage, puppetry, painted backdrops, and antique tinting, Zeman’s film is an exhilarating visual delight and a warmhearted whirl through a bygone age too entrancing to have existed.
	The Face Behind the Mask Directed by Robert Florey Starring Peter Lorre, Evelyn Keyes, Don Beddoe 1941 United States Duration: 1:08:13	Directed with striking expressionist flair by French émigré filmmaker Robert Florey, this poisonous tale of the American dream turned sour stars Peter Lorre as Janos, a Hungarian immigrant who arrives in New York City full of hope—only to be horribly disfigured in a hotel fire. With his scars making it impossible to find work, Janos falls in with the criminal underworld, rising through the ranks as he raises the money to create a mask in the form of his own face.

Okuyama (YOJIMBO’s Tatsuya Nakadai), after being burned and disfigured in an industrial accident and estranged from his family and friends, agrees to his psychiatrist’s radical experiment: a face transplant, created from the mold of a stranger. As Okuyama is thus further alienated from the world around him, he finds himself giving in to his darker temptations. With unforgettable imagery, Teshigahara’s film explores both the limits and freedom in acquiring a new persona, and questions the notion of individuality itself.

	Falcon Lake Directed by Charlotte Le Bon Starring Joseph Engel, Sara Montpetit, Monia Chokri 2022 France Duration: 1:41:05	A dreamily unsettling summertime idyll, a moody coming-of-age reverie, and an enigmatic ghost story wrapped into one, the astonishingly assured feature debut from Charlotte Le Bon is a bewitching immersion into the perspective of thirteen-year-old Bastien (Joseph Engel), a teenager in the hormonal throes of puberty who joins his family on their vacation to a Quebec lake house. There, he strikes up a more-than-friendship with the slightly older Chloé (Sara Montpetit), a disaffected, death-fascinated cool girl who introduces him to the rites of drinking, parties, and sex—and to the legend of a spirit who supposedly haunts the lake. Toying poetically with horror conventions, Le Bon conjures a sensitive, eerily atmospheric end-of-innocence tale within a world quivering with menace and mystery.
	Fallen Angels Directed by Wong Kar Wai Starring Michelle Reis, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Leon Lai Ming 1995 Hong Kong Duration: 1:39:18	Lost souls reach out for human connection amid a glimmering Hong Kong in Wong Kar Wai’s hallucinatory, neon-soaked nocturne. Originally conceived as a segment of CHUNGKING EXPRESS only to spin off on its own woozy axis, FALLEN ANGELS plays like the dark, moody flip side of its predecessor as it charts the subtly interlacing fates of a handful of urban loners, including a coolly detached hit man (Leon Lai Ming) looking to go straight; his business partner (Michelle Reis), who secretly yearns for him; and a mute delinquent (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who wreaks mischief by night. Swinging between hard-boiled noir and slapstick lunacy with giddy abandon, the film is both a dizzying, dazzling city symphony and a poignant meditation on love, loss, and longing in a metropolis that never sleeps.
	Fall Guy Directed by Kinji Fukasaku 1982 Japan Duration: 1:48:04	When Yasu, a member of movie star Ginshiro's entourage, agrees to marry his boss's pregnant mistress to avoid a career-threatening scandal, he takes up dangerous work as a stunt man to support his new family.

Spanning fifty years of twentieth-century Chinese history, FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE follows aspiring actors Dieyi (a heartbreaking Leslie Cheung) and Xiaolou (Zhang Fengyi) as they emerge from a childhood of brutal training to become Beijing-opera stars, with life mirroring art as Dieyi’s unrequited love for Xiaolou and the country’s changing political tides engulf them in their own personal tragedies of jealousy and betrayal.

	Farewell My Love Directed by Youssef Chahine Starring Farid al-Atrash, Shadia, Ahmed Ramzy 1956 Egypt Duration: 1:46:11	Youssef Chahine’s love for classic Hollywood musicals shines through his own exuberant forays into the genre, including this inventive and offbeat blend of singing, dancing, and melodrama.

	Fårö Document 1979 Directed by Ingmar Bergman 1979 Sweden Duration: 1:44:22	Midway through his time in Germany, Bergman returned to Fårö for his second documentary exploration of the remote Swedish island he loved and the socioeconomic realities experienced by those who lived there. Longer, more optimistic, and less ascetic than its predecessor, this film charts a calendar year in the life of the island’s 673 inhabitants, many of whom he observes working tirelessly shearing sheep, thatching roofs, and slaughtering livestock, as well as going about various communal rituals. Distilled from twenty-eight hours of material, FÅRÖ DOCUMENT 1979 is a lyrical depiction of life’s cyclical nature.
	The Fat and the Lean Directed by Roman Polanski 1961 France Duration: 15:07	Polanski directed this 15-minute black-and-white short just after completing film school. The film features the music of Krzysztof Komeda, who composed the scores for all but one of the director’s films between TWO MEN AND A WARDROBE and ROSEMARY’S BABY (1968).
	Fat Girl Directed by Catherine Breillat Starring Anaïs Reboux, Roxane Mesquida, Libero de Rienzo 2001 France Duration: 1:26:35	Twelve-year-old Anaïs is fat. Her sister, fifteen-year-old Elena, is a beauty. While the girls are on vacation with their parents, Anaïs tags along as Elena explores the dreary seaside town. Elena meets Fernando, an Italian law student; he seduces her with promises of love, and the ever watchful Anaïs bears witness to the corruption of her sister’s innocence. FAT GIRL is not only a portrayal of female adolescent sexuality and the complicated bond between siblings but also a shocking assertion by the always controversial Catherine Breillat that violent oppression exists at the core of male-female relations.
	Father Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita 1988 Japan Duration: 1:14:33	A middle-aged man's family loses patience with him as he struggles with his seemingly directionless life. Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita.
	Father Amin Directed by Starring Faten Hamama, Hussein Riad, Farid Shawqi 1950 Egypt Duration: 1:51:37	Youssef Chahine’s debut feature—made at the age of just twenty-four, shortly after his time studying acting in Los Angeles—is a touching, bighearted blend of family drama and fantasy (with musical numbers sprinkled in for good measure) that finds the director seamlessly blending the traditions of American and Egyptian popular cinema. Something like an Egyptian IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE meets A CHRISTMAS CAROL, the film spins the story of the simple but virtuous clerk Amin (Hussein Riad) who falls for a get-rich-quick scheme that soon goes wrong. When Amin suddenly dies, he observes from the afterlife the consequences of his actions on his struggling family. The film is famous in Egypt for featuring the sole dance number that Faten Hamama, perhaps the Arab world’s greatest actress, performed on-screen.
	Faya dayi Directed by Jessica Beshir 2021 Ethiopia Duration: 1:58:40	A sublime work of trance-state cinema, the debut feature by the Mexican Ethiopian filmmaker Jessica Beshir is a hypnotic immersion in the world of rural Ethiopia, a place where one commodity—khat, a euphoria-inducing plant once prized for its supposedly mystical properties—holds sway over the rituals and rhythms of everyday life. As if under the intoxicating influence of the drug itself, FAYA DAYI unfurls as a hallucinogenic cinematic reverie, capturing hushed, intimate moments in the existences of everyone from the harvesters of the crop to people lost in its narcotic haze to a desperate but determined younger generation searching for an escape from the region’s political strife. The film’s exquisite monochrome cinematography—each frame a masterpiece sculpted from light and shadow—and time-bending, elliptical editing create a ravishing sensory experience that hovers between consciousness and dreaming.
	Fear Directed by Roberto Rossellini Starring Ingrid Bergman, Mathias Wieman, Renate Mannhardt 1954 West Germany Duration: 1:18:44	Tinged with brooding noir atmosphere, the last of the celebrated collaborations between Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman is a tense portrait of the psychology of an extramarital relationship that, in many ways, fascinatingly mirrors the furor surrounding the director and star’s own scandalous affair. In postwar Germany, Irene Wagner (Bergman) conceals an adulterous affair from her prominent husband (Mathias Wieman). When her lover’s jealous ex-girlfriend (Renate Mannhardt) begins blackmailing her, Irene finds herself plunged into a vortex of guilt, anxiety, and paranoia.
	Fear City Directed by Abel Ferrara Starring Tom Berenger, Melanie Griffith, Billy Dee Williams 1984 United States Duration: 1:34:33	Cult auteur Abel Ferrara offers a bracing plunge into the sordid neon underbelly of 1980s Times Square in this stylishly pulpy neonoir sleazefest. There’s a psychopath loose on the streets of Manhattan who is stalking and mutilating beautiful strippers employed by booking agents Matt Rossi (Tom Berenger) and Nicky Parzeno (Jack Scalia). But when the madman targets Matt’s ex-girlfriend Loretta (Melanie Griffith), he must confront his own violent past to stop the sadistic killer.
	Fearless Hyena II Directed by Chan Chuen Starring Jackie Chan, Austin Wai Tin-chi, Yen Shi-kwan 1983 Hong Kong Duration: 1:32:31	By the early 1980s, Jackie Chan’s popularity made him box-office gold. Thus when, midway through filming the sequel to his hit THE FEARLESS HYENA, Chan walked off the production to defect to rival studio Golden Harvest, producer Lo Wei opted to complete the film with the help of stunt doubles and recycled footage. The result—the tale of two lazy cousins (Chan and Austin Wai Tin-chi) who join forces to avenge the deaths of their fathers—may not be pure Chan, but there are plenty of loony pleasures (including our hero fighting an adversary with his feet!) to be had.
	The Fearless Hyena Directed by Jackie Chan Starring Jackie Chan, James Tien, Yen Shi-kwan 1979 Hong Kong Duration: 1:38:11	An auteur emerges as Jackie Chan—working for the first time as director, in addition to serving as cowriter, lead actor, and martial-arts choreographer—takes full charge of his on-screen image. Perfecting the archetypal Chan character, he stars here as a rapscallion student of his martial-arts-master grandfather (Hong Kong cinema legend James Tien) who uses his kung-fu prowess to fight challengers for money—until a personal tragedy forces him to get serious. Experimenting with various lenses and camera setups, Chan maximizes the action’s visual impact, while unleashing some of his most innovative fight choreography in a stunning, whirlwind display of “emotional kung fu.”
	Fear of Fear Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder Starring Margit Cartensen, Ulrich Faulhaber, Brigitte Mira 1975 West Germany Duration: 1:28:28	Starring Margit Cartensen, Ulrich Faulhaber, Brigitte Mira A woman in a stable-but-passionless marriage suddenly begins to lose her mind when she becomes pregnant with her second child.

Directed by Clyde Bruckman, the film features some of Lloyd's most daring thrill-comedy stunts.
	Festival Directed by Murray Lerner 1967 United States Duration: 1:38:11	Before WOODSTOCK and MONTEREY POP, there was FESTIVAL. From 1963 through 1966, Murray Lerner visited the annual Newport Folk Festival to document a thriving, idealistic musical movement as it reached its peak as a popular phenomenon. Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Howlin’ Wolf, Johnny Cash, the Staple Singers, Pete Seeger, Son House, and Peter, Paul and Mary were just a few of the legends who shared the stage at Newport, treating audiences to a range of folk music that encompassed the genre’s roots in blues, country, and gospel as well as its newer flirtations with rock and roll. Shooting in gorgeous black and white, Lerner juxtaposes performances with snapshot interviews with artists and their fans, weaving footage from four years of the festival into an intimate record of a pivotal time in music—and in American culture at large.

	F for Fake Directed by Orson Welles 1975 United States Duration: 1:28:43	Trickery. Deceit. Magic. In F FOR FAKE, a free-form sort-of documentary by Orson Welles, the legendary filmmaker (and self-described charlatan) gleefully reengages with the central preoccupation of his career: the tenuous lines between illusion and truth, art and lies. Beginning with portraits of the world-renowned art forger Elmyr de Hory and his equally devious biographer, Clifford Irving, Welles embarks on a dizzying journey that simultaneously exposes and revels in fakery and fakers of all stripes, not the least of whom is Welles himself. Charming and inventive, F FOR FAKE is an inspired prank and a clever examination of the essential duplicity of cinema.
	Les fiancés du Pont Macdonald Directed by Agnès Varda 1962 France Duration: 05:43	Directed by Agnès Varda for her film CLÉO FROM 5 TO 7, this short film stars her French new wave colleagues Jean-Luc Godard, Anna Karina, Sami Frey, and Eddie Constantine.

	Fiend Without a Face Directed by Arthur Crabtree Starring Marshall Thompson, Kynaston Reeves, Kim Parker 1958 United Kingdom Duration: 1:14:19	A scientist’s thoughts materialize as an army of invisible brain-shaped monsters (complete with spinal-cord tails!) who terrorize an American military base in this nightmarish chiller, directed by Arthur Crabtree (HORRORS OF THE BLACK MUSEUM). This outstanding sci-fi/horror hybrid is a special effects bonanza, and a high-water mark in British genre filmmaking.
	Fighting Elegy Directed by Seijun Suzuki Starring Hideki Takahashi, Junko Asano, Yusuke Kawazu 1966 Japan Duration: 1:26:17	High schooler Kiroku Nanbu yearns for the prim, Catholic Michiko, but her only desire is to reform Kiroku’s sinful tendencies. Hormones raging, Kiroku channels his unsatisfied lust into the only outlet available: savage, crazed violence. FIGHTING ELEGY (KENKA EREJII) is a unique masterpiece in the diverse career of Seijun Suzuki, combining the director’s signature bravura visual style with a brilliantly focused satire of machismo and fascism.
	Fight Without Hate Directed by André Michel 1948 France Duration: 1:31:32	Twelve years had passed since the last edition of the Olympic Games when nations finally came together again, in the wake of World War II, to carry on the Olympic tradition at the V Olympic Winter Games St. Moritz 1948. The tone of André Michel's FIGHT WITHOUT HATE is thus not surprisingly upbeat.

	Filipiñana Directed by Rafael Manuel Starring Jorybel Agotto, Sunshine Teodoro, Micah Musah 2020 Philippines Duration: 24:05	The self-contained cosmos of a country-club golf course serves as a microcosm of Filipino society in this sharply observed miniature. New “tee-girl” Isabel still has to learn the rules—but she is already looking for loopholes to subvert the system.
	Film Directed by Alan Schneider Starring Buster Keaton 1965 United States Duration: 22:03	Nobel Prize–winning author Samuel Beckett’s lone work for projected cinema is, in essence, a chase film, arguably the craziest ever committed to celluloid. It’s a chase between camera and pursued image that finds existential dread embedded in the very apparatus of the movies. The link to cinema’s essence is evident in the casting, as the chased object is none other than an aged Buster Keaton, who was understandably befuddled at Beckett and director Alan Schneider’s instruction that he keep his face hidden from the camera’s gaze. Commissioned and produced by Grove Press’s Barney Rosset and exquisitely shot by Academy Award–winning cinematographer Boris Kaufman, FILM is the unique product of an all-star assembly of talent and a cinematic conundrum that asks more questions than it answers.
	The Final Insult Directed by Charles Burnett 1997 United States Duration: 55:05	Charles Burnett cannily blends documentary and dramatic action with this searing, savagely ironic tale of a bank employee reduced to living out of his car, in a character study that doubles as a compassionate portrait of Los Angeles’s homeless community.
	Finishing School Directed by Wanda Tuchock and George Nichols Jr. Starring Ginger Rogers, Frances Dee, Billie Burke 1934 United States Duration: 1:13:17	Wanda Tuchock—one of the very few women to be credited as a director in 1930s Hollywood—cowrote and codirected this briskly entertaining girls-gone-wild drama. When Virginia Radcliff (Frances Dee) enrolls in an exclusive private school for rich young women, she quickly learns that—as much as the administration strives to preserve the academy’s reputation—among the students the motto is “Don’t get caught,” and Virginia’s roommate, Pony (Ginger Rogers), may be the wildest of the girls. Now, feeling abandoned by her social-climbing parents and uncomfortable with the antics of her classmates, Virginia finds solace in the arms of a young medical student—bringing her a whole new set of problems.
	The Firemen’s Ball Directed by Miloš Forman Starring Jan Vostrcil, Josef Šebánek, František Reinstein 1967 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:13:36	A milestone of the Czech New Wave, Miloš Forman’s first color film THE FIREMEN’S BALL is both a dazzling comedy and a provocative political satire. A hilarious saga of good intentions confounded, the story chronicles a firemen’s ball where nothing goes right, from a beauty pageant whose reluctant participants embarrass the organizers to a lottery from which nearly all the prizes are pilfered. Presumed to be a commentary on the floundering Czech leadership, the film was “banned forever” in Czechoslovakia following the Russian invasion and prompted Forman’s move to America.
	Fire Music Directed by Tom Surgal Starring John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra 2021 United States Duration: 1:27:26	Although the free-jazz movement of the 1960s and ’70s was met with heated controversy, its pioneers—brilliant talents like Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, Sun Ra, Albert Ayler, and John Coltrane—are today acknowledged as central to the evolution of jazz as America’s most innovative art form. FIRE MUSIC showcases the architects of a revolution in sound whose radical brand of improvisation pushed harmonic and rhythmic boundaries and produced landmark albums like Coleman’s “Free Jazz: A Collective Inspiration” and Coltrane’s “Ascension.” A treasure trove of archival footage conjures the kaleidoscopic world of the 1960s jazz scene along with incisive reflections by critic Gary Giddins and a number of the movement’s key players.
	Fires on the Plain Directed by Kon Ichikawa Starring Eiji Funakoshi, Osamu Takizawa, Mickey Curtis 1959 Japan Duration: 1:44:36	An agonizing portrait of desperate Japanese soldiers stranded in a strange land during World War II, Kon Ichikawa’s FIRES ON THE PLAIN is a compelling descent into psychological and physical oblivion. Denied hospital treatment for tuberculosis and cast off into the unknown, Private Tamura treks across an unfamiliar Philippine landscape, encountering an increasingly debased cross section of Imperial Army soldiers, who eventually give in to the most terrifying craving of all. Grisly yet poetic, FIRES ON THE PLAIN is one of the most powerful works from one of Japanese cinema’s most versatile filmmakers.
	The Fire Within Directed by Louis Malle Starring Maurice Ronet, Léna Skerla, Jeanne Moreau 1963 France Duration: 1:48:15	After garnering international acclaim for such seminal crowd-pleasers as THE LOVERS and ZAZIE DANS LE MÉTRO, Louis Malle gave his fans a shock with THE FIRE WITHIN (LE FEU FOLLET), a penetrating study of individual and social inertia. Maurice Ronet (ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS), in an implosive, haunted performance, plays Alain Leroy, a self-destructive writer who resolves to kill himself and spends the next twenty-four hours trying to reconnect with a host of wayward friends. Unsparing in its portrait of Alain’s inner turmoil and shot with remarkable clarity, THE FIRE WITHIN is one of Malle’s darkest and most personal films.

	First Directed by Micaela Durand and Daniel Chew Starring Mae Wangmo, Anne Hanavan, Angel Cruz 2019 United States Duration: 11:59	A teenager lives her life, toggling seamlessly between her physical and digital selves. She walks over a bridge at sunrise, follows a stranger through the streets of the city, and meets up with a friend to wander their favorite spots in New York. She documents all of this on her phone, sharing her world by uploading to her profile. Comments, in the form of subtitles, puncture this narrative, ranging from casual banter with friends to threatening comments from strangers. FIRST offers a glimpse into the realities that teenagers have to negotiate today, how they connect through personae and engage in random digital encounters, and how that shapes them.
	First Case, Second Case Directed by Abbas Kiarostami Starring Mehdi Azadbakht, Mohammadreza Barati, Hedayat Matin Daftari 1979 Iran Duration: 48:13	Made in the spring of 1979, not long after the shah’s overthrow, this extraordinary film serves as a Rorschach blot for people in a revolutionary mindset. Abbas Kiarostami stages two versions of a classroom-discipline situation—in one, a student tells on a troublemaker; in the other, seven students refuse to rat—and then has several adult authorities comment on the outcomes. The fascinating responses evoke conflicts between order and resistance.
	First Graders Directed by Abbas Kiarostami 1984 Iran Duration: 1:23:48	Inspired by his work at Kanoon and his own sons’ schooling, the first of Abbas Kiarostami’s two documentary features about education looks in on a schoolyard of chanting, playful boys but mainly transpires in the office of a supervisor who has to deal with latecomers and discipline problems.

	Fists in the Pocket Directed by Marco Bellocchio Starring Lou Castel, Paola Pitagora, Marino Masé 1965 Italy Duration: 1:49:37	Tormented by twisted desires, a young man takes drastic measures to rid his grotesquely dysfunctional family of its various afflictions, in this astonishing 1965 debut from Marco Bellocchio. With its coolly assured style, shocking perversity, and savage gallows humor, FISTS IN THE POCKET (I PUGNI IN TASCA) was a gleaming ice pick in the eye of bourgeois family values and Catholic morality, a truly unique work that continues to rank as one of the great achievements of Italian cinema.
	Fit Model Directed by Myna Joseph Starring Lucy Owen, Gideon Glick, Anh Duong 2019 United States Duration: 21:28	As she bounces from job to job, a thirtysomething woman must summon all her resilience in order to survive a whirlwind day in the contemporary gig economy of New York City.
	Five Corners Directed by Tony Bill Starring Jodie Foster, John Turturro, Tim Robbins 1987 United States Duration: 1:34:13	Youthful idealism collides with matter-of-fact violence in a working-class Bronx neighborhood in the early 1960s in this captivatingly offbeat urban mosaic featuring an extraordinary ensemble cast. A woman (Jodie Foster) being stalked by a psychotic ex-con (John Turturro). A young man (Tim Robbins) whose pacifist ideals compel him to get involved in the civil rights movement. A schoolteacher mysteriously murdered by a bow and arrow. And a kidnapped penguin. These are just some of the seemingly unrelated stories that gradually intertwine in a rich, utterly unique slice of life from the pen of Pulitzer Prize–winning writer John Patrick Shanley (MOONSTRUCK, DOUBT).
	Five Easy Pieces Directed by Bob Rafelson Starring Jack Nicholson, Karen Black 1970 United States Duration: 1:38:37	Following Jack Nicholson’s breakout supporting turn in EASY RIDER, director Bob Rafelson devised a powerful leading role for the new star in the searing character study FIVE EASY PIECES. Nicholson plays the now iconic cad Bobby Dupea, a shiftless thirtysomething oil rigger and former piano prodigy immune to any sense of responsibility, who returns to his upper-middle-class childhood home, blue-collar girlfriend (Karen Black, in an Oscar-nominated role) in tow, to see his estranged, ailing father. Moving in its simplicity and gritty in its textures, FIVE EASY PIECES is a lasting example of early 1970s American alienation.
	Five Miles Out Directed by Andrew Haigh 2009 United Kingdom Duration: 18:23	An adolescent girl meets a boy while on holiday with her cousins. This short film, created in 2009 by Andrew Haigh, provides some insight into the director’s evolving vision.
	A Flame at the Pier Directed by Masahiro Shinoda 1962 Japan Duration: 1:32:14	A young dockworker who owes his life to his boss becomes embroiled in union activity. Directed by Masahiro Shinoda.
	Flaming Ears Directed by A. Hans Scheirl, Dietmar Schipek, and Ursula Pürrer Starring Susanna Heilmayr, Ursula Pürrer, A. Hans Scheirl 1992 Austria Duration: 1:29:22	A tour de force of DIY visual invention, this underground sci-fi lesbian extravaganza has been newly restored to its Super 8 visual splendor. It’s the year 2700 in the fictional burned-out city of Asche, and the lives of three women are about to collide: comic-book artist Spy (Susana Helmayr), sexed-up pyromaniac Volley (Ursula Puerrer), and reptile-obsessed alien Nun (A. Hans Scheirl). What ensues is an anarchic tale of obsession and revenge that critic B. Ruby Rich describes as “the film that J. G. Ballard might have made if he’d been born an Austrian dyke.”
	Flatbush! Flatbush! Directed by Alex Ramírez-Mallis 2021 United States Duration: 15:53	A fleet of minibuses race up and down Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, providing commuters a familiar, if occasionally harrowing, alternative to the subway for only $2 a ride.
	The Flavor of Green Tea over Rice Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Starring Shin Saburi, Michiyo Kogure, Keiko Tsushima 1952 Japan Duration: 1:56:18	One of the ineffably lovely domestic sagas made by Yasujiro Ozu at the height of his mastery, THE FLAVOR OF GREEN TEA OVER RICE is a sublimely piercing portrait of a marriage coming quietly undone. Secrets and deceptions strain the already tenuous relationship of a childless, middle-aged couple, as the wife’s city-bred sophistication bumps up against the husband’s small-town simplicity, and a generational sea change—in the form of her headstrong, modern niece—sweeps over their household. The director’s abiding concern with family dynamics receives one of its most spirited treatments, with a wry, tender humor and buoyant expansiveness that moves the action from the home into the baseball stadiums, pachinko parlors, and ramen shops of postwar Tokyo.
	Floating Clouds Directed by Mikio Naruse Starring Hideko Takamine, Masayuki Mori, Mariko Okada 1955 Japan Duration: 2:03:49	“Short is the life of flowers, infinite their sorrows . . .” Director Mikio Naruse’s most famous film in Japan is a haunting portrait of obsessive love in a ruined world. Set amid the bombed-out landscapes of postwar Japan, FLOATING CLOUDS stars the director’s frequent collaborator, the heartbreaking Hideko Takamine, as a woman who returns from working in French Indochina with hopes of resuming her relationship with a married man (Masayuki Mori) with whom she had an affair—leading them both into a self-destructive spiral of hurt and anger. Drifting dreamily in and out of present reality and memories, it builds with quiet force toward one of Naruse’s most exquisitely devastating finales.
	Floating Weeds Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Starring Ganjiro Nakamura, Machiko Kyo, Ayako Wakao 1959 Japan Duration: 1:59:39	In 1959, Yasujiro Ozu remade his 1934 silent classic A STORY OF FLOATING WEEDS in color with the celebrated cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa (RASHOMON, UGETSU). Setting his later version in a seaside location, Ozu otherwise preserves the details of his elegantly simple plot wherein an aging actor returns to a small town with his troupe and reunites with his former lover and illegitimate son, a scenario that enrages his current mistress and results in heartbreak for all. Together, the films offer a unique glimpse into the evolution of one of cinema’s greatest directors. A STORY OF FLOATING WEEDS reveals Ozu in the midst of developing his mode of expression; FLOATING WEEDS reveals his distinct style at its pinnacle. In each, the director captures the joy and sadness in everyday life.
	Flores Directed by Jorge Jácome Starring André Andrade, Gabriel Desplanque, Jorge Jácome 2017 Portugal Duration: 27:54	Drenched in lysergic lavender, this sci-fi pseudo-documentary is both a dreamy vision of ecological apocalypse and a tender queer love story set on an island in the Azores overrun by endlessly proliferating purple hydrangeas.
	Flowers Directed by Nikyatu Jusu and Yvonne Michelle Shirley Starring Amee Apedo, Belle Le Grand, Grant Tambellini 2015 United States Duration: 19:06	Two teenage girls in Brooklyn plot revenge against a teacher, only to see their calculated plan fall dangerously apart in this tense, complex examination of racial and power dynamics.
	Flowers of Shanghai Directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien Starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Michiko Hada, Annie Shizuka Inoh 1998 Taiwan Duration: 1:54:18	An intoxicating, time-bending experience bathed in the golden glow of oil lamps and wreathed in an opium haze, this gorgeous period reverie by Hou Hsiao-hsien traces the romantic intrigue, jealousies, and tensions swirling around four late-nineteenth-century Shanghai “flower houses,” where courtesans live confined to a gilded cage, ensconced in opulent splendor but forced to work to buy back their freedom. Among the regular clients is the taciturn Master Wang (Tony Leung Chiu-wai), whose relationship with his longtime mistress (Michiko Hada) is roiled by a perceived act of betrayal. Composed in a languorous procession of entrancing long takes, FLOWERS OF SHANGHAI evokes a vanished world of decadence and cruelty, an insular universe where much of the dramatic action remains tantalizingly offscreen—even as its emotional fallout registers with quiet devastation.
	The Flowers of St. Francis Directed by Roberto Rossellini Starring Brother Nazario Gerardi, Brother Severino Pisacane, Esposito Bonaventura 1950 Italy Duration: 1:27:05	In a series of simple and joyous vignettes, director Roberto Rossellini and co-writer Federico Fellini lovingly convey the universal teachings of the People’s Saint: humility, compassion, faith, and sacrifice. Gorgeously photographed to evoke the medieval paintings of Saint Francis’s time, and cast with monks from the Nocera Inferiore Monastery, THE FLOWERS OF ST. FRANCIS is a timeless and moving portrait of the search for spiritual enlightenment.
	Flowing Directed by Mikio Naruse 1956 Japan Duration: 1:56:51	One of director Mikio Naruse’s most sublime achievements traces the fortunes of a geisha house struggling to survive in the face of a changing society. As seen through the eyes of the establishment’s new maid (Kinuyo Tanaka), FLOWING centers on the attempts of the brothel’s mistress (Isuzu Yamada) to save her house from obsolescence, even as her daughter (Hideko Takamine) wishes for a different life. A superlative showcase for three of Japan’s greatest actresses, this masterpiece from Naruse’s richest period is an exquisite evocation of a lost world passing into the realm of history.
	Floyd Norman: An Animated Life Directed by Michael Fiore and Erik Sharkey Starring Floyd Norman 2016 United States Duration: 1:35:06	In 1956, Floyd Norman made history when he became the first Black animator to be hired by Disney, where he worked on such classics as SLEEPING BEAUTY and 101 DALMATIANS before being selected by Walt Disney himself to serve on the story team for THE JUNGLE BOOK. Featuring testimonials from many of Norman’s colleagues and friends, including Whoopi Goldberg and Leonard Maltin, this warmly affectionate documentary catches up with Norman at age eighty. As vital and youthful as ever, he reflects on his trailblazing career with humility and humor while continuing to be a force in the animation world.
	Flunky, Work Hard Directed by Mikio Naruse Starring Isamu Yamaguchi, Tomoko Naniwa, Seiichi Kato 1931 Japan Duration: 28:46	Mikio Naruse’s earliest available film, FLUNKY, WORK HARD is the rare work by the director not to center around female characters. It is a charming, breezy short concerning an impoverished insurance salesman and his scrappy son, whose fisticuffs with the other boys of their village put his father’s livelihood in jeopardy
	Fly, Fly Sadness Directed by Miryam Charles 2015 Canada Duration: 05:26	Following a nuclear explosion that transforms the voices of all the inhabitants of an island, a Finnish journalist goes there in order to find a hermit with mysterious powers.
	The Flying Coffer Directed by Lotte Reiniger 1922 Germany Duration: 09:18	One of Lotte Reiniger’s first forays into the world of fairy tales tells the story of a poor young man who sets out to rescue a Chinese princess imprisoned by her father in the tower of a pagoda.
	Following Directed by Christopher Nolan Starring Jeremy Theobald, Alex Haw 1999 United Kingdom Duration: 1:10:05	Before he became a sensation with the twisty revenge story MEMENTO, Christopher Nolan fashioned this low-budget, 16 mm black-and-white neonoir with comparable precision and cunning. Providing irrefutable evidence of Nolan’s directorial bravura, FOLLOWING is the fragmented tale of an unemployed young writer who trails strangers through London, hoping that they will provide inspiration for his first novel. He gets more than he bargained for when one of his unwitting subjects leads him down a dark criminal path. With gritty aesthetics and a made-on-the-fly vibe (many shots were simply stolen on the streets, unbeknownst to passersby), FOLLOWING is a mind-bending psychological journey that shows the remarkable beginnings of one of today’s most acclaimed filmmakers.
	Footprints Directed by Jaromil Jires 1961 Czechoslovakia Duration: 12:27	This early short by Jaromil Jireš anticipates the formal and stylistic experimentation that would characterize VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS.
	For All Mankind Directed by Al Reinert 1989 United States Duration: 1:20:04	Directed by Al Reinert • 1989 • United States In July 1969, the space race ended when Apollo 11 fulfilled President Kennedy’s challenge of “landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth.” No one who witnessed the lunar landing will ever forget it. Al Reinert’s documentary FOR ALL MANKIND is the story of the twenty-four men who traveled to the moon, told in their words, in their voices, using the images of their experiences. Forty years after the first moon landing, it remains the most radical, visually dazzling work of cinema yet made about this earthshaking event.
	Foreign Correspondent Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Starring Joel McCrea, Laraine Day, Herbert Marshall 1940 United States Duration: 2:00:44	In 1940, Alfred Hitchcock made his official transition from the British film industry to Hollywood. And it was quite a year: his first two American movies, REBECCA and FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, were both nominated for the best picture Oscar. Though REBECCA prevailed, FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT is the more quintessential Hitch film. A full-throttle espionage thriller, starring Joel McCrea as a green Yank reporter sent to Europe to get the scoop on the imminent war, it’s wall-to-wall witty repartee, head-spinning plot twists, and brilliantly mounted suspense set pieces, including an ocean plane crash climax with astonishing special effects. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT deserves to be mentioned alongside THE 39 STEPS and NORTH BY NORTHWEST as one of the master’s greatest adventures.
	Foreign Land Directed by Götz Spielmann 1984 Austria Duration: 44:46	FOREIGN LAND (FREMDLAND), made in 1984, was Götz Spielmann’s debut short. It won first prize at the European Film Academy Awards.
	Forever a Woman Directed by Kinuyo Tanaka Starring Yumeji Tsukioka, Masayuki Mori, Ryoji Hayama 1955 Japan Duration: 1:50:46	Widely considered Kinuyo Tanaka’s first personal film, FOREVER A WOMAN tells the story of a recent divorcée (Yumeji Tsukioka) who is diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer. In adapting the real-life story of the poet Fumiko Nakajo, Tanaka and screenwriter Sumie Tanaka (a longtime collaborator of Mikio Naruse’s, though of no familial relation to Kinuyo) investigate issues of mortality, sexuality, and female independence with a frankness and audacity unprecedented in postwar Japanese cinema.
	Forget Me Not Directed by Zoltán Korda 1936 United Kingdom Duration: 1:11:39	Romantic triangle featuring hefty Metropolitan Opera tenor Gigli as a widowed tenor who becomes involved with and marries young British clerical worker Gardner, who is on the emotional rebound after a frustrating romance with handsome ship's officer Brandt. Trouble looms on the horizon, however, when Gardner and Brandt run into each other while Gigli is on a spectacularly successful world tour. The former lovers are soon mooning over each other again, much to the dismay of Gigli, who becomes so emotionally distraught that he can't perform.
	The Forgotten Directed by Vittorio De Seta 1959 Italy Duration: 21:04	Vittorio De Seta travels to a remote province in southern Italy to capture a unique celebration known as the “Feast of Silver.”
	For Heaven’s Sake Directed by Sam Taylor Starring Harold Lloyd, Jobyna Ralston, Paul Weigel 1926 United States Duration: 58:39	Feckless millionaire playboy J. Harold Manners (Harold Lloyd) leads a life of idle abandon, until he meets and falls in love with a poor minister’s daughter (Jobyna Ralston). His attempts to reform his ways by helping to build up her father’s mission, however, lead to more than a few complications. Lloyd’s follow-up to THE FRESHMAN is one of his more loosely plotted features, allowing for a profusion of fast-paced sight gags that climax in a memorably thrilling car chase across Los Angeles.
	Fort Buchanan Directed by Benjamin Crotty Starring Andy Gillet, Iliana Zabeth, David Baïot 2014 France Duration: 1:08:16	When his husband is sent on a mission to Djibouti, Roger (Andy Gillet) remains behind with his adopted daughter, the temperamental Roxy, at Fort Buchanan, an army base in the middle of the woods. Over the course of four seasons, he seeks advice and companionship from his fellow spouses: a middle-aged woman, three pretty wives abandoned by their husbands, and a farmer-cum–personal trainer. Shot in richly textured 16 mm and slyly appropriating dialogue from American television shows, FORT BUCHANAN uses the tragicomic plight of a frail young man stranded amid a lascivious band of army wives to craft a queer soap opera for the ages.
	For the Time Being Directed by Deborah Stratman 2021 United States Duration: 06:52	Filmed on and around the Great Salt Lake, Mono Lake, and Meteor Crater, Deborah Stratman’s video letter to trailblazing land artist Nancy Holt pays homage to their shared interests in terminal lakes, framed views, monuments, and time.
	A Fortress Directed by Miryam Charles Starring Ève Duranceau, Matthew Rankin 2018 Haiti Duration: 05:38	‍After the death of their adoptive daughter, a couple goes to Haiti looking for her relatives. There, they meet with a DNA specialist who might have the power of resurrection.
	Forza Bastia Directed by Sophie Tatischeff and Jacques Tati 2002 France Duration: 27:57	In 1978, Jacques Tati traveled to the city of Bastia on the island of Corsica to document the exuberant lead-up to what would ultimately be a memorably muddy, waterlogged match between the hometown heroes and their visiting Dutch rivals—marking the first time a Corsican team had reached the European Cup finals. Left unfinished by Tati, the editing of FORZA BASTIA was ultimately completed in 2000 by his daughter Sophie Tatischeff.
	The Foundation Directed by P. Staff 2015 United States Duration: 29:39	Originally conceived as a gallery installation, THE FOUNDATION explores the complex legacy of gay fetish artist Tom of Finland via a portrait of the Tom of Finland Foundation in Los Angeles and the community that has formed around it.
	Fountainhead Directed by Masaki Kobayashi 1956 Japan Duration: 2:09:29	FOUNTAINHEAD (1956, aka IZUMI) is one of Masaki Kobayashi's "comeback" films into the Japanese studio system, a mainstream lyrical romantic drama that proved the commercial appeal of his work. It was also the place where he started setting the stage for his later career, assembling the cast members who would populate his more personal movies in the years to come: Fumio Watanabe (in his screen debut), who would star in Kobayashi's BLACK RIVER and work in the director's THE HUMAN CONDITION II; leading lady Ineko Arima, who had previously been associated with the films of Nikio Naruse, and who would later also star in BLACK RIVER and THE HUMAN CONDITION I; and Keiji Sada, who would work in THE HUMAN CONDITION I. This was the director's second film with a screenplay by Zenzo Matsuyama, who would be a close collaborator with him across this period of his career up through THE HUMAN CONDITION.
	Four Days in July Directed by Mike Leigh Starring Brid Brennan, Des McAleer, Charles Lawson 1984 United Kingdom Duration: 1:40:08	The last film Mike Leigh directed for the BBC examines the Troubles in Northern Ireland through the stories of two working-class Belfast families—one Protestant, the other Catholic—both expecting newborn babies over the course of four days in July 1984. Despite the turbulent sociopolitical backdrop, Leigh focuses instead on the small, everyday moments that both connect and separate these four parents-to-be, creating a profoundly human, strikingly naturalistic look at life on both sides of a bitter religious and political divide.
	The Four Feathers Directed by Zoltán Korda Starring John Clements, Ralph Richardson, June Duprez 1939 United Kingdom Duration: 1:55:12	This Technicolor spectacular, directed by Zoltán Korda, is considered the finest of the many adaptations of A. E. W. Mason’s classic 1902 adventure novel about the British empire’s exploits in Africa, and a crowning achievement of Alexander Korda’s legendary production company, London Films. Set at the end of the nineteenth century, THE FOUR FEATHERS follows the travails of a young officer (John Clements) accused of cowardice after he resigns his post on the eve of a major deployment to Khartoum; he must then fight to redeem himself in the eyes of his fellow officers (including Ralph Richardson) and fiancée (June Duprez). Featuring music by Miklós Rózsa and Oscar-nominated cinematography by Georges Périnal and Osmond Borradaile, THE FOUR FEATHERS is a thrilling, thunderous epic.

	Four Journeys into Mystic Time: Mysterium Directed by Shirley Clarke 1978 United States Duration: 13:51	Part of the larger filmic cycle FOUR JOURNEYS INTO MYSTIC TIME, this work makes use of a dancer’s body as a canvas on which to paint projected images.
	Four Journeys into Mystic Time: One-Two-Three Directed by Shirley Clarke 1978 United States Duration: 08:18	This abstract work featuring three dancers interacting with large screens as well as each other.

	Four Journeys into Mystic Time: Trans Directed by Shirley Clarke 1978 United States Duration: 07:37	A pair of performers wearing bodysuits dance and balance together in this short film by director Shirley Clarke, part of her FOUR JOURNEYS INTO MYSTIC TIME project.
	The Fourth Dimension Directed by Jean Painlevé 1936 France Duration: 10:45	On assignment for the mathematics department of le Palais de la Découverte, Jean Painlevé shot this film to be presented at the Paris museum’s 1937 international exhibition. THE FOURTH DIMENSION takes a look at how we interact with dimensional space.
	Fox and His Friends Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder Starring Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Peter Chatel, Carl Boehm 1975 Germany Duration: 2:04:08	A lottery win leads not to financial and emotional freedom but to social captivity, in this wildly cynical classic about love and exploitation by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Casting himself against type, the director plays a suggestible working-class innocent who lets himself be taken advantage of by his bourgeois new boyfriend and his circle of materialistic friends, leading to the kind of resonant misery that only Fassbinder could create. FOX AND HIS FRIENDS is unsparing social commentary, an amusingly pitiless and groundbreaking if controversial depiction of a gay community in 1970s West Germany.
	Fox Film Directed by Isabella Rossellini 2020 United States Duration: 03:12	In this bite-size, hand-drawn biology lesson, Isabella Rossellini explains how the human domestication of animals changed the course of evolution.
	France Directed by Bruno Dumont Starring Léa Seydoux, Blanche Gardin, Benjamin Biolay 2021 France Duration: 2:13:24	Léa Seydoux brilliantly holds the center of Bruno Dumont’s unexpected, unsettling film, which starts out as a satire of the contemporary news media before steadily spiraling out into something richer and darker. Never one to shy away from provoking his viewers, Dumont casts Seydoux as France de Meurs, a seemingly unflappable superstar TV journalist whose career, homelife, and psychological stability are shaken after she carelessly drives into a young delivery man on a busy Paris street. This accident triggers a series of self-reckonings, as well as a strange romance that proves impossible to shake. A film that teases at redemption while refusing to grant absolution, FRANCE is tragicomic and deliciously ambivalent—a very twenty-first-century treatment of the difficulty of maintaining identity in a corrosive culture.
	Frances Ha Directed by Noah Baumbach Starring Greta Gerwig, Mickey Sumner 2013 United States Duration: 1:26:03	Greta Gerwig is radiant as Frances, a woman in her late twenties in contemporary New York trying to sort out her ambitions, her finances, and, above all, her intimate but shifting bond with her best friend, Sophie (Mickey Sumner). Meticulously directed by Noah Baumbach with a free-and-easy vibe reminiscent of the French New Wave’s most spirited films, and written by Baumbach and Gerwig with an effortless combination of sweetness and wit, FRANCES HA gets at both the frustrations and the joys of being young and unsure of where to go next. This wry and sparkling city romance is a testament to the ongoing vitality of independent American cinema.
	Frankenstein Directed by James Whale Starring Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, John Boles 1931 United States Duration: 1:10:15	“A monster science created—but could not destroy!” Considered by many to be the greatest horror film of all time, James Whale’s FRANKENSTEIN tells the at once terrifying and poetic tale of a maniacal scientist (Colin Clive) whose obsession with creating a living being from dead body parts has tragic and shocking consequences. Adapted from the quintessential gothic novel by Mary Shelley, this is the film that made Boris Karloff a genre icon and ushered in a new era of horror.
	Frankenstein vs. Baragon Directed by Ishiro Honda Starring Tadao Takashima, Nick Adams, Kumi Mizuno 1965 Japan Duration: 1:33:35	The legend of Mary Shelley’s mythic monster gets an offbeat update in this wild and weird, East-meets-West kaiju oddity. Fifteen years after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, an American scientist (Nick Adams) discovers a strange, feral boy running wild in the city. Immune to radiation and rapidly growing to gargantuan size, the boy is revealed to be nothing less than the mutant spawn of the Frankenstein monster—and he may be the only one who can stop the rampaging prehistoric beast Baragon. The film, released in the U.S. as FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD, is here presented in its international-release version, featuring a final battle between Frankenstein and a giant octopus.
	French Cancan Directed by Jean Renoir Starring Jean Gabin, Françoise Arnoul, María Félix 1955 France Duration: 1:43:58	Nineteenth-century Paris comes vibrantly alive in Jean Renoir’s exhilarating tale of the opening of the world-renowned Moulin Rouge. Jean Gabin plays the wily impresario Danglard, who makes the cancan all the rage while juggling the love of two beautiful women—an Egyptian belly-dancer and a naive working girl turned cancan star. This celebration of life, art and the City of Light (with a cameo by Edith Piaf) is a Technicolor tour de force by a master of modern cinema.
	French Wedding Caribbean Style Directed by Julius-Amédée Laou Starring Dieudonné, Nicole Dogué, Loulou Boislaville 2002 France Duration: 1:29:44	A wedding celebration goes drastically off the rails in the fearlessly subversive and formally inventive second feature from Julius-Amédée Laou. On the day of their marriage, a Black bride from a Caribbean immigrant family and her white French fiancé see their big day upended by his family’s barely-contained racism, the appearance of an unexpected guest, and a startling revelation. Cleverly shot on MiniDV from the perspective of the party’s guests, FRENCH WEDDING CARIBBEAN STYLE spares no one as it issues an incendiary takedown of both white racism and West Indian misogyny.
	The Freshman Directed by Sam Taylor and Fred Newmeyer Starring Harold Lloyd, Jobyna Ralston 1925 United States Duration: 1:16:54	Harold Lloyd’s biggest box-office hit was this silent comedy gem, featuring the befuddled everyman at his eager best as a new college student. Though he dreams of being a big man on campus, the freshman’s careful plans inevitably go hilariously awry, be it on the football field or at the Fall Frolic. But he gets a climactic chance to prove his mettle—and impress the sweet girl he loves—in one of the most famous sports sequences ever filmed. This crowd-pleaser is a gleeful showcase for Lloyd’s slapstick brilliance and incandescent charm, and it is accompanied here by a new orchestral score by Carl Davis.
	Freshwater Assassins Directed by Jean Painlevé 1947 France Duration: 24:11	The academic and the fantastic merge in Jean Painlevé’s educational film about the food chain in a freshwater pond.
	FROM THE FAMILY OF REPTILES and THE ISLAND Directed by Wim Wenders Starring Lisa Kreuzer, Katja Wulff, Nicolas Brieger 1974 Germany Duration: 26:57	This short film made for television traces the relationship that develops between a troubled, introverted young girl obsessed with the crocodiles at the zoo and the teacher who attempts to reach out to her.
	From the Life of the Marionettes Directed by Ingmar Bergman 1980 Sweden Duration: 1:44:33	Ingmar Bergman's From The Life of the Marionettes was a semi-sequel to Scenes From A Marriage, made seven years before, with a different pair of actors (Robert Atzorn, Christine Buchegger) replacing the original's Jan Malmjso and Bibi Andersson. Bergman let his storytelling skills roam freely in this film, drawing from his cinematic and theatrical experience (as a playwright as well as a director), cutting forward and backward in a visual and narrative tour-de-force that rivaled his best experimental work of the 1960s.
	The Front Page Directed by Lewis Milestone Starring Adolphe Menjou, Pat O’Brien, Mary Brian 1931 United States Duration: 1:41:27	Directed with pre-Code verve by Lewis Milestone, the first screen adaptation of the oft-filmed Broadway hit by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur (later the basis for Howard Hawks’s screwball classic HIS GIRL FRIDAY) stars Adolphe Menjou and Pat O’Brien as, respectively, a newspaper editor and his ace reporter, who must pull out all the stops in order to get the scoop of a lifetime: the story of an escaped death-row inmate whose whereabouts are known only to them. The crackling dialogue, cynical wit, and snappy pace set the standard for a generation of newsroom pictures to follow. Restored by the Academy Film Archive and The Film Foundation. Restoration funding provided by the George Lucas Family Foundation. Elements for this restoration provided by the Howard Hughes Corporation and by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, College of Fine Arts’ Department of Film and its Howard Hughes Collection at the Academy Film Archive.

	Frownland Directed by Ronald Bronstein Starring Dore Mann, Mary Wall, Carmine Marino 2007 United States Duration: 1:46:54	A nightmare transmission from the grungiest depths of the New York indie underground, the visceral, darkly funny, and totally sui generis debut feature from Ronald Bronstein is a dread-inducing vision of misfit alienation at its unhinged extreme. In a maniacal performance of almost frightening commitment, Dore Mann plays Keith, a disturbingly maladjusted social outcast and self-described “troll” whose neuroses plunge him into an unstoppable spiral of self-obliteration as his crummy coupon-selling job, pitiful living situation (featuring the roommate from hipster Brooklyn hell), and last remaining human relationships disintegrate around him. As captured in the grimy expressionist grain of Sean Price Williams’s claustrophobic camera work, FROWNLAND is DIY cinema at its most fearless, uncompromising, and unforgettable.
	Fruit of Paradise Directed by Věra Chytilová Starring Jitka Nováková, Karel Novak, Jan Schmid 1970 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:39:27	Opening with a senses-ravishing, psychedelic vision of Eden, this tantalizing political allegory sets the story of Adam and Eve in a European health spa where a vacationing couple (Jitka Nováková and Karel Novak) find themselves under the spell of a menacing stranger (Jan Schmid). A triumph of avant-garde provocation, FRUIT OF PARADISE would prove to be Věra Chytilová’s last film before the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia effectively quashed her career for the next seven years.
	A Fuller Life Directed by Samantha Fuller 2013 United States Duration: 1:20:50	Calling on a wide range of her father's collaborators and fellow travelers, from James Franco to William Friedkin, to read from his autobiography, the filmmaker Samantha Fuller evokes the inimitable voice and spirit of her father, the legendary writer-director Sam Fuller.

	The Funeral Directed by Juzo Itami Starring Nobuko Miyamoto, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Chishu Ryu 1984 Japan Duration: 2:04:42	It’s death, Japanese style, in the rollicking and wistful first feature from maverick writer-director Juzo Itami. In the wake of her father’s sudden passing, a successful actor (Itami’s wife and frequent collaborator, Nobuko Miyamoto) and her lascivious husband (Tsutomu Yamazaki) leave Tokyo and return to her family home to oversee a traditional funeral. Over the course of three days of mourning that bring illicit escapades in the woods, a surprisingly materialistic priest (Chishu Ryu), and cinema’s most epic sandwich handoff, the tensions between public propriety and private hypocrisy are laid bare. Deftly weaving dark comedy with poignant family drama, THE FUNERAL is a fearless satire of the clash between old and new in Japanese society in which nothing, not even the finality of death, is off-limits.
	Funny Games Directed by Michael Haneke Starring Susanne Lothar, Ulrich Mühe, Arno Frisch 1997 Austria Duration: 1:49:10	Directed by Michael Haneke • 1997 • Austria Starring Susanne Lothar, Ulrich Mühe, Arno Frisch Michael Haneke’s most notorious provocation, FUNNY GAMES spares no detail in its depiction of the agony of a bourgeois family held captive at their vacation home by a pair of white-gloved young men. In a series of escalating “games,” the sadistic duo subject their victims to unspeakable physical and psychological torture over the course of a night. A home-invasion thriller in which the genre’s threat of bloodshed is made stomach-churningly real, the film ratchets up shocks even as its executioners interrupt the action to address the audience, drawing queasy attention to the way that cinema milks pleasure from pain and stokes our appetite for atrocity. With this controversial treatise on violence and entertainment, Haneke issued a summation of his cinematic philosophy, implicating his audience in a spectacle of unbearable cruelty.

Featuring interviews with Wilson as well as ardent fans like Stephen Colbert, Guillermo del Toro, Roz Chast, and Neil Gaiman, this at once illuminating and darkly funny documentary delves into the less-than-wholesome childhood experiences that shaped the artist’s mordant worldview and on the realities of forging a career as a cartoonist.

	Games of the XXI Olympiad Directed by Jean Beaudin, Marcel Carrière, and Georges Dufaux 1977 Canada Duration: 1:58:02	Director Jean-Claude Labrecque elected to focus on individual athletes, both in competition and out, instead of sticking to the rigidly in place Olympics program. Labrecque and his co-directors (Jean Beaudin, Marcel Carrière and Georges Dufaux) have a good eye for small, offbeat details and give prominence to the coaches, mechanics, and the innumerable other personnel who made up the action at the Games of the XXI Olympiad Montreal 1976.

In the hands of director Carlos Saura, this rich setup becomes a comic, caustic, and surreal metaphor for the psychic suffering endured by Spanish citizens under fascism.

	Gates of Heaven Directed by Errol Morris 1978 United States Duration: 1:22:38	Errol Morris burst out of the gate with this brilliant debut feature, about two pet cemeteries in Northern California and the people involved with them. Such a description, however, can hardly do justice to the captivating, funny, and enigmatic GATES OF HEAVEN, a film that is about our relationships to our pets, each other, and ourselves. Both sincere and satirical, this is an endlessly surprising study of human nature.
	Gay USA Directed by Arthur J. Bressan, Jr. 1977 United States Duration: 1:12:19	In June of 1977, director Arthur J. Bressan Jr. mobilized camera crews across the country to document the national Gay Freedom Day marches in six different cities.

	General Idi Amin Dada: A Self-Portrait Directed by Barbet Schroeder 1974 France Duration: 1:30:46	In 1974, Barbet Schroeder went to Uganda to make a film about Idi Amin, the country’s ruthless, charismatic dictator. Three years into a murderous regime that would be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ugandans, Amin prepared a triumphal greeting for the filmmakers, staging rallies, military maneuvers, and cheery displays of national pride, and envisioning the film as an official portrait to adorn his cult of personality. Schroeder, however, had other ideas, emerging with a disquieting, caustically funny brief against Amin, in which the dictator’s own endless stream of testimony—by turns charming, menacing, and nonsensical—serves as the most damning evidence. A revelatory tug-of-war between subject and filmmaker, GENERAL IDI AMIN DADA: A SELF-PORTRAIT is a landmark in the art of documentary and an appalling study of egotism in power.
	A Generation Directed by Andrzej Wajda Starring Tadeusz Lomnicki, Urszula Modrzynska, Tadeusz Janczar 1955 Poland Duration: 1:27:17	Stach is a wayward teen living in squalor on the outskirts of Nazi-occupied Warsaw.

	Genocide Directed by Kazui Nihonmatsu 1968 Japan Duration: 1:24:20	The insects are taking over in this nasty piece of disaster horror directed by Kazui Nihonmatsu. A group of military personnel transporting a hydrogen bomb are left to figure out how and why swarms of killer bugs took down their plane; the answer is more deliriously nihilistic, and convoluted, than you could imagine. Also known as War of the Insects, Genocide enacts a cracked doomsday scenario like no other.
	Gente del Po Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni 1947 Italy Duration: 11:13	This film of a barge trip down the Po River is, along with N.U., one of several early nonfiction shorts by Michelangelo Antonioni to look at the relationship between individuals and their environment, a theme the director would fully explore in such films as RED DESERT.

With this raucous farce—an enormous box-office hit in Japan—director Juzo Itami dared to satirize the yakuza and paid dearly for it; shortly after the film’s release, his face was slashed in an attack by vengeful mobsters, and his mysterious death, five years later, was alleged to have been further payback.

	George Stevens: D-Day to Berlin Directed by George Stevens Jr. 1994 United States	As head of the Signal Corps Special Motion Picture Unit in Europe during World War II, Hollywood director George Stevens (A PLACE IN THE SUN, SHANE) oversaw the filming of black-and-white footage that would become a key part of the “official” record of the war as we know it. But he also recorded a personal film diary, shot on Kodachrome, of the events he witnessed, amassing reels of long-unseen color footage that his son, George Stevens Jr., later assembled into this invaluable documentary, featuring firsthand accounts from screenwriter Ivan Moffat. Capturing everything from the D-Day invasion of Normandy and the liberation of Paris to the horrors of Dachau and the bombed-out ravages of Berlin, this remarkable slice of history offers a look in vivid color at some of the most consequential moments of the twentieth century and tells the gripping story of a combat camera unit at war.

	Germany Year Zero Directed by Roberto Rossellini Starring Edmund Meschke, Ernst Pittschau, Ingetraud Hinze 1948 Italy Duration: 1:12:58	The concluding chapter of Roberto Rossellini’s War Trilogy is the most devastating, a portrait of an obliterated Berlin, seen through the eyes of a twelve-year-old boy. Living in a bombed-out apartment building with his sick father and two older siblings, young Edmund is mostly left to wander unsupervised, getting ensnared in the black-market schemes of a group of teenagers and coming under the nefarious influence of a Nazi-sympathizing ex-teacher. GERMANY YEAR ZERO is a daring, gut-wrenching look at the consequences of fascism, for society and the individual.
	Gertrud Directed by Carl Th. Dreyer Starring Nina Pens Rode, Bendt Rothe, Ebbe Rode 1964 Denmark Duration: 1:56:27	Carl Dreyer’s last film neatly crowns his career: a meditation on tragedy, individual will and the refusal to compromise. A woman leaves her unfulfilling marriage and embarks on a search for ideal love—but neither a passionate affair with a younger man nor the return of an old romance can provide the answer she seeks. Always the stylistic innovator, Dreyer employs long takes and theatrical staging to concentrate on Nina Pens Rode’s sublime portrayal of the proud and courageous Gertrud.

	Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai Directed by Jim Jarmusch Starring Forest Whitaker, John Tormey, Cliff Gorman 1999 United States Duration: 1:56:08	Jim Jarmusch combined his love for the ice-cool crime dramas of Jean-Pierre Melville and Seijun Suzuki with the philosophical dimensions of samurai mythology for an eccentrically postmodern take on the hit-man thriller. In one of his defining roles, Forest Whitaker brings a commanding serenity to his portrayal of a Zen contract killer working for a bumbling mob outfit, a modern man who adheres steadfastly to the ideals of the Japanese warrior code even as chaos and violence spiral around him. Featuring moody cinematography by the great Robby Müller, a sublime score by the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, and a host of colorful character actors (including a memorably stone-faced Henry Silva), GHOST DOG: THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI plays like a pop-culture-sampling cinematic mixtape built around a one-of-a-kind tragic hero.
	The Ghost Goes West Directed by René Clair Starring Robert Donat, Jean Parker, Eugene Pallette 1935 United Kingdom Duration: 1:22:25	An old-world ghost gets a taste of new-world values in this sly supernatural satire.

	Gilda Directed by Charles Vidor Starring Rita Hayworth, Glenn Ford, George Macready 1946 United States Duration: 1:50:26	“Gilda, are you decent?” Rita Hayworth tosses her hair back and slyly responds, “Me?” in one of the great star entrances in movie history. GILDA, directed by Charles Vidor, features a sultry Hayworth in her most iconic role, as the much-lusted-after wife of a criminal kingpin (George Macready), as well as the former flame of his bitter henchman (Glenn Ford), and she drives them both mad with desire and jealousy. An ever-shifting battle of the sexes set on a Buenos Aires casino’s glittering floor and in its shadowy back rooms, GILDA is among the most sensual of all Hollywood noirs.
	Gimme Shelter Directed by David Maysles, Albert Maysles, and Charlotte Zwerin 1970 United States Duration: 1:31:42	Called the greatest rock film ever made, this landmark documentary follows the Rolling Stones on their notorious 1969 U.S. tour. When three hundred thousand members of the Love Generation collided with a few dozen Hells Angels at San Francisco’s Altamont Speedway, Direct Cinema pioneers David and Albert Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin were there to immortalize on film the bloody slash that transformed a decade’s dreams into disillusionment.
	Ginza Cosmetics Directed by Mikio Naruse Starring Kinuyo Tanaka, Ranko Hanai, Yuji Hori 1951 Japan Duration: 1:27:15	Something of a Japanese answer to the neorealist movement concurrently flowering in Europe, Mikio Naruse’s lyrical, quietly moving portrait of everyday endurance in Tokyo’s bustling Ginza district recounts a few days in the life of a luckless, middle-aged geisha (the heartbreakingly great Kinuyo Tanaka) as she weathers setbacks and disappointments while trying to eke out a living for herself and her young son. Forgoing artificial dramatics in favor of an almost documentary-like naturalism, Naruse crafts a bittersweet breakthrough whose slice-of-life texture possesses a startlingly vivid power.
	Girlfight Directed by Karyn Kusama Starring Michelle Rodriguez, Jaime Tirelli, Paul Calderon 2000 United States Duration: 1:50:58	Bullied by her father at home and feeling adrift at school, Diana Guzman (Michelle Rodriguez) finds refuge in an unexpected pocket of her native Brooklyn—a timeworn boxing gym, where she learns to channel her strength, discovers a sense of community, and falls for a rival fighter. In Karyn Kusama’s raw, understated feature debut, Rodriguez commands the screen with both tightly coiled intensity and deep wells of vulnerability as a young woman hitting back at society’s expectations and her own personal demons. Capturing the full emotional weight of Diana’s journey and the kinetic thrill of bodies in motion, Kusama crafts a singularly uncompromising story of self-realization.

Beginning with a visceral look at the harsh working conditions of miners in the Netherlands, GIRL IN THE WINDOW transforms into a risqué love story as two of the miners—Italians Federico (Lino Ventura) and Vincenzo (Bernard Fresson)—head to Amsterdam to hit the town. In the city’s red-light district, the pair meet sex workers Else (Marina Vlady) and Chanel (Magali Noël), with whom they strike up whirlwind relationships.

	Girl Shy Directed by Fred Newmeyer and Sam Taylor Starring Harold Lloyd, Jobyna Ralston, Richard Daniels 1924 United States Duration: 1:20:41	He may be completely inept around girls in real life, but that doesn’t stop poor tailor’s apprentice Harold Meadows (Harold Lloyd) from publishing “The Secret of Making Love,” his guidebook on how to woo women. When romance finally does come along—in the form of a wealthy, already-engaged heiress (Jobyna Ralston)—can this bumbling boy put his own advice into practice? Lloyd’s first independent feature (following his association with Hal Roach) features an epic, two-reel chase climax that may be the comedian’s finest.
	Girls of the Night Directed by Kinuyo Tanaka Starring Chisako Hara, Akemi Kita, Yosuke Natsuki 1961 Japan Duration: 1:33:05	With GIRLS OF THE NIGHT, Kinuyo Tanaka reunited with screenwriter Sumie Tanaka to explore Japan’s attempted reformation of former prostitutes. The film follows Kuniko (Hisako Hara), an escort who enters a rehabilitation center after the Prostitution Prevention Law prohibits her line of work.

	The Girls Directed by Mai Zetterling Starring Bibi Andersson, Harriet Andersson, Gunnel Lindblom 1968 Sweden Duration: 1:40:27	Mai Zetterling’s cinema reached new heights of exuberant experimentation and fierce political engagement with this pointed and playful touchstone of 1960s feminist cinema. As they tour Sweden in a theatrical production of “Lysistrata,” performing to often uncomprehending audiences, three women (national cinema icons Bibi Andersson, Harriet Andersson, and Gunnel Lindblom) find their own lives and marriages mirrored in the complex, combative gender relations at the heart of Aristophanes’s play. Onstage drama, offstage reality, and a torrent of surrealist fantasies and daydreams collide in THE GIRLS, a slashing, sardonic reflection on the myriad challenges confronting women on their path to liberation, and on the struggles of the female artist fighting to make her voice heard over the patriarchal din.
	Girl with Green Eyes Directed by Desmond Davis Starring Rita Tushingham, Peter Finch, Lynn Redgrave 1964 United Kingdom Duration: 1:32:34	Wonderfully tender, fresh, and full of lyricism and life, this offbeat romance follows the young Kate Brady (Rita Tushingham) as she leaves behind her sheltered existence in the Irish countryside and moves to Dublin. There, she finds unexpected love with Eugene Gaillard (Peter Finch), an older, married writer and intellectual who is charmed by the innocent girl.

	The Gleaners and I Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Agnès Varda 2000 France Duration: 1:22:32	Agnès Varda’s extraordinary late-career renaissance began with this wonderfully idiosyncratic, self-reflexive documentary in which the French cinema icon explores the world of modern-day gleaners: those living on the margins who survive by foraging for what society throws away. Embracing the intimacy and freedom of digital filmmaking, Varda posits herself as a kind of gleaner of images and ideas, one whose generous, expansive vision makes room for ruminations on everything from aging to the birth of cinema to the beauty of heart-shaped potatoes. By turns playful, philosophical, and subtly political, THE GLEANERS AND I is a warmly human reflection on the contradictions of our consumerist world from an artist who, like her subjects, finds unexpected richness where few think to look.
	The Gleaners and I: Two Years Later Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Agnès Varda 2002 France Duration: 1:02:37	Agnès Varda’s charming follow-up to her acclaimed documentary THE GLEANERS AND I is a deceptively unassuming grace note that takes us deeper into the world of those who find purpose and beauty in the refuse of society. Revisiting many of the original film’s subjects to explore the often unexpected effects that their participation in the project has had on their lives, this wonderfully warm and human epilogue once again takes gleaning as the starting point from which to explore what most interests Varda: the richness, complexity, and poignancy of life outside the mainstream. What emerges is a crazy-quilt tapestry of the personal, the political, and the esoteric that celebrates the spirit and creativity of those who forge their own path.
	Glenville Directed by Kevin Jerome Everson and Kahlil Pedizisai 2020 United States Duration: 01:44	Kevin Jerome Everson and Kahlil I. Pedizisai update the 1898 film SOMETHING GOOD – NEGRO KISS, which features the first representation of African American intimacy in cinema history.

	Gloria Mundi Directed by Nico Papatakis Starring Olga Karlatos, Roland Bertin, Philippe Adrien 1976 France Duration: 1:56:51	One of the most shocking and transgressive films of the 1970s, this incendiary political parable centers on Galai (the fearless Olga Karlatos), an actress starring as an Arab terrorist in a film about the Algerian War. In preparation for her role and under the influence of her militant director, Galai begins to inflict torture upon herself—blurring the boundaries between performance and reality as director Nico Papatakis provocatively interrogates questions of art, authenticity, and left-wing political hypocrisy.
	The Goalie’s Anxiety at the Penalty Kick Directed by Wim Wenders Starring Arthur Brauss, Kai Fischer, Erika Pluhar 1972 West Germany Duration: 1:43:22	Adapted from a novel by Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke, Wim Wenders’s first theatrical feature crosses Hitchcock with Kafka for an arresting study of existential ennui, violence, and the lure of American culture in postwar Europe. After he is ejected from a game in Vienna, unsettlingly disaffected soccer goalie Joseph Bloch (Arthur Brauss) wanders aimlessly through the city, seemingly detached from everything around him—until an encounter with a cinema cashier (Erika Pluhar) takes a dark turn. Working with cinematographer Robby Müller and editor Peter Przygodda, Wenders assembled a collaborative team that would define his work for years.

	Godland Directed by Hlynur Pálmason Starring Elliott Crosset Hove, Vic Carmen Sonne, Ingvar Sigurdsson 2022 Iceland Duration: 2:23:06	The struggle between the strictures of religion and our own brute animal nature plays out amid the beautifully forbidding landscapes of remote Iceland in this stunning psychological epic from director Hlynur Pálmason. In the late nineteenth century, Danish priest Lucas (Elliott Crosset Hove) makes the perilous trek to Iceland’s southeastern coast with the intention of establishing a church. There, the arrogant man of God finds his resolve tested as he confronts the harsh terrain, temptations of the flesh, and the reality of being an intruder in an unforgiving land. What unfolds is a transfixing journey into the heart of colonial darkness attuned to both the majesty and terrifying power of the natural world. “GODLAND tells a story of natural wonder, elemental beauty, and human folly.” —Justin Chang, “Los Angeles Times” “Visually striking . . .

	God’s Country Directed by Louis Malle 1985 United States Duration: 1:29:11	In 1979, Louis Malle traveled into the heart of Minnesota to capture the everyday lives of the men and women in a prosperous farming community. Six years later, during Ronald Reagan's second term, he returned to find drastic economic decline. Free of stereotypes about America's "heartland" God's Country, commissioned for American public television, is a stunning work of emotional and political clarity.
	Gods of the Plague Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder 1969 Germany Duration: 1:28:17	Harry Baer plays a newly released ex-convict who slowly but surely finds his way back into the Munich criminal underworld. Meanwhile, his attentions are torn between two women (Hanna Schygulla and Margarethe von Trotta) and the friend (Günther Kaufmann) who shot his brother. This sensual, artfully composed film by Rainer Werner Fassbinder is a study of romantic and professional futility.
	The Gods of Times Square Directed by Richard Sandler 1999 United States Duration: 1:54:16	Over the course of six years, street photographer and filmmaker Richard Sandler documents the Giuliani-era transformation of Manhattan’s Times Square, as mom-and-pop stores and the colorful characters who made the intersection a “speakers’ corner” are increasingly squeezed out by a real-estate gold rush. The film captures a pivotal moment in New York history when the place most identified with free speech and free spirits changed from a democratic, interracial common ground to an increasingly sterile, corporate-controlled theme park.
	God Told Me To Directed by Larry Cohen Starring Tony Lo Bianco, Deborah Raffin, Sandy Dennis 1976 United States Duration: 1:29:39	A rooftop sniper guns down fourteen pedestrians on the streets of New York City. A mild-mannered dad takes a shotgun and blows away his wife and children. A cop goes on a sudden shooting spree at the St. Patrick’s Day parade. And each of these unlikely killers makes the same dying confession: “God told me to.” Now a repressed Catholic NYPD detective (Tony Lo Bianco) must uncover a netherworld of deranged faith and alien insemination, as well as his own unholy connection to a homicidal messiah with a perverse plan for the soul of mankind. This critically acclaimed cult classic written, produced, and directed by Larry Cohen remains one of the most disturbing and thought-provoking horror films of our time.
	Godzilla Directed by Ishiro Honda 1954 Japan Duration: 1:36:31	GODZILLA (a.k.a. GOJIRA) is the roaring granddaddy of all monster movies. It’s also a remarkably humane and melancholy drama, made in Japan at a time when the country was reeling from nuclear attack and H-bomb testing in the Pacific. Its rampaging radioactive beast, the poignant embodiment of an entire population’s fears, became a beloved international icon of destruction, spawning almost thirty sequels.
	Godzilla, King of the Monsters Directed by Ishiro Honda and Terry O. Morse 1956 Japan Duration: 1:21:00	This 1956 feature film, codirected and edited by Terry Morse, is the famous American reworking of the original GODZILLA.

	Godzilla Raids Again Directed by Motoyoshi Oda 1955 Japan Duration: 1:21:55	Toho Studios followed the enormous success of the original Godzilla with this sequel, efficiently directed by Motoyoshi Oda as a straight-ahead monsters-on-the-loose drama. An underrated standout among the Showa Godzilla films, Godzilla Raids Again introduces the monster-versus-monster format that would dominate the remainder of the series, pitting Godzilla against the ferocious, spiny Anguirus as the kaiju wreak havoc in the streets of Osaka in a series of elaborate set pieces that succeed in upping the ante for destruction.

Can the King of Monsters defeat an evolved version of himself? Boasting some of the best special effects of the series and exploring provocative ideas surrounding biotechnology, GODZILLA VS. BIOLLANTE stands as a highlight of the Heisei-era films.
	Godzilla vs. Gigan Directed by Jun Fukuda Starring Hiroshi Ishikawa, Yuriko Hishimi, Minoru Takashima 1972 Japan Duration: 1:29:31	An alien invasion prompts a tag-team battle between Godzilla and Anguirus, the planet protectors, and King Ghidorah and the new monster Gigan, a cyborg with scythe-like claws, an abdominal buzz saw, winglike back fins, and pincerlike mandibles. In this action-packed film, which veers from the sublime to the ridiculous, the cockroachlike aliens—disguised as humans—use Gigan and King Ghidorah as weapons of conquest in their plot to take over a contaminated Earth.
	Godzilla vs. Hedorah Directed by Yoshimitsu Banno Starring Akira Yamauchi, Toshie Kimura, Hiroyuki Kawase 1971 Japan Duration: 1:25:46	Intended to address the crisis levels of pollution in postwar Japan, GODZILLA VS. HEDORAH finds the King of the Monsters fighting an alien life form that arrives on Earth and steadily grows by feeding on industrial waste. Director Yoshimitsu Banno infuses the film with equal parts ecological horror, humorous monster antics, and sixties psychedelia straight out of San Francisco, making for a truly unique—and divisive—entry in the series.
	Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah Directed by Kazuki Ohmori Starring Katsuhiko Sasaki, Kosuke Toyohara, Anna Nakagawa 1991	The eighteenth film in the Godzilla franchise puts a time-traveling twist on the The King of the Monsters’ ever-evolving mythology as nefarious actors from the future go back in time to engineer the rise of the three-headed dragon King Ghidorah, erase Godzilla from history, and stop Japan’s economic ascent. Less serious in tone than the other Heisei-era films that preceded it, this wildly plotted installment recaptures some of the Showa era silliness and tops things off with a rousing final battle between Godzilla and a rad metallic Ghidorah.
	Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla Directed by Jun Fukuda 1974 Japan Duration: 1:24:41	Godzilla’s evil twin Mechagodzilla first reared its head in this Jun Fukuda–directed film. A robot designed by aliens to conquer Earth, the enduringly popular villain has since been resurrected by Toho Studios several times. With the help of earnest direction, spectacular pyrotechnics, and guest appearances by veteran genre actors, this film recaptures the feel of the sixties Godzilla movies.
	Godzilla vs. Megalon Directed by Jun Fukuda 1973 Japan Duration: 1:21:58	Nuclear testing unleashes mayhem on the undersea kingdom of Seatopia, causing a series of environmental disasters that nearly wipes out Rokuro, the schoolboy protagonist at the center of this film. To exact revenge, Seatopia unleashes Megalon, a gigantic beetle with the ability to fire ray beams and napalm bombs. Meanwhile, Rokuro’s brother creates Jet Jaguar, a flying robot with a built-in moral compass. The inevitable matchup of Godzilla and Jet Jaguar versus Megalon and Gigan decides the world’s fate.
	Godzilla vs. Mothra Directed by Takao Okawara Starring Tetsuya Bessho, Satomi Kobayashi, Takehiro Murata 1992	Updating the 1964 kaiju classic MOTHRA VS. GODZILLA for the Heisei era, this quasi-remake reunites the King of the Monsters with one of his most beloved sidekicks/adversaries for a satisfyingly battle-packed rematch.

	Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell Directed by Hajime Sato 1968 Japan Duration: 1:24:10	After an airplane is forced to crash-land in a remote area, its passengers find themselves face-to-face with an alien force that wants to possess them body and soul, and perhaps take over the entire human race. Filled with creatively repulsive effects, including a very invasive bloblike life-form, Hajime Sato's GOKE, BODY SNATCHER FROM HELL is a pulpy, apocalyptic gross-out.
	Gold and Glory Directed by Hannu Leminen 1953 Finland Duration: 1:37:22	Part two of Director Hannu Leminen's account of the Olympic Games Helsinki 1952, with its fierce patriotism and its sense of a nation welcoming the world, is redolent of the period, coming as it did only twelve years after the end of Finland's war with the Soviet Union, and seven years after the end of World War II. Leminen spends GOLD AND GLORY covering non-track-and-field sports, while competitors from across the globe are seen socializing with ease, traversing the language barrier with smiles and gestures, and strengthening the impression of sports as a unifying stimulus for peace.
	The Golden Coach Directed by Jean Renoir Starring Anna Magnani, Odoardo Spadaro, Nada Fiorelli 1953 France Duration: 1:42:39	THE GOLDEN COACH (LE CARROSSE D’OR) is a ravishing eighteenth-century comic fantasy about a viceroy who receives an exquisite golden coach, and gives it to the tempestuous star of a touring commedia dell’arte company. Master director Jean Renoir’s sumptuous tribute to the theater, presented here in the English version he favored, is set to the music of Antonio Vivaldi and built around vivacious and volatile star Anna Magnani.

	Golden Eighties Directed by Chantal Akerman Starring Delphine Seyrig, Fanny Cottençon, Pascale Salkin 1986 France Duration: 1:37:30	The exuberant enchantments of the singing, dancing musical meet the feminist, formalist sensibility of cinematic visionary Chantal Akerman in this uniquely captivating vision of love and survival in the age of late capitalism. Amid the consumerist wonderland of a shopping mall, a cadre of store employees bounce in and out of one another’s arms in a cycle of breakups, makeups, misunderstandings, and reunions, their romantic roundelay punctuated by imaginatively stylized production numbers. Working with frequent star Delphine Seyrig and a remarkable team of writers—who between them penned everything from JULES AND JIM to DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN—Akerman deftly balances the shiny pop pleasures of the genre with piercing variations on her signature themes, including a startlingly moving reflection on Jewish resilience and the legacy of the Holocaust.
	Golden Eyes Directed by Jun Fukuda 1968 Japan Duration: 1:20:18	A killer-for-hire gets mixed up with a cast of wacky characters involved in a gold smuggling route from Beirut to Tokyo. Jun Fukuda directs this follow-up to 100 Shot, 100 Killed (AKA Ironfinger).

	The Gold Rush Directed by Charles Chaplin Starring Charles Chaplin, Georgia Hale, Mack Swain 1942 United States Duration: 1:12:20	Charlie Chaplin’s comedic masterwork—which charts a prospector’s search for fortune in the Klondike and his discovery of romance (with the beautiful Georgia Hale)—forever cemented the iconic status of Chaplin and his Little Tramp character. Shot partly on location in the Sierra Nevadas and featuring such timeless gags as the dance of the dinner rolls and the meal of boiled shoe leather, THE GOLD RUSH is an indelible work of heartwarming hilarity. Presented here are both Chaplin’s definitive 1942 version, for which the director added new music and narration, and the original 1925 silent film.

	Goodbye CP Directed by Kazuo Hara Starring Hiroshi Yokota, Koichi Yokozuka 1972 Japan Duration: 1:23:22	An early documentary to portray the experiences of disabled people with compassion and complexity, Kazuo Hara’s searing debut is also one of the most unflinching films ever made about what it means to be an outsider. Produced in collaboration with the Green Lawn—a group of activists with cerebral palsy who work to raise awareness of the condition—GOODBYE CP blends jagged, shot-on-the-fly footage of the members’ seemingly Sisyphean struggle to take their message to the streets with raw, sometimes confrontational interviews in which they reveal the torment of living in a society cruelly indifferent to their existence. In making his subjects active participants in the film’s creation—a practice he would continue throughout his career—Hara powerfully asserts the humanity and agency of those who have long been denied both.
	Goodbye Jerome! Directed by Gabrielle Selnet, Adam Sillard, and Chloé Farr Starring William Lebghil, Alma Jodorowsky 2022 France Duration: 08:09	Death is only the beginning in this fantastically phantasmagoric animated odyssey, which imagines heaven in the boldly colorful, psychedelic style of George Dunning’s Beatles classic YELLOW SUBMARINE. Having just arrived in paradise, the recently deceased Jerome finds himself adrift in a surreally blissed-out wonderland as he searches for his late wife Maryline. But is there love after death?
	The Good Fairy Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita 1951 Japan Duration: 1:48:38	Two journalists and their lovers share an uncertain future. Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita.
	Good Morning Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Starring Masahiko Shimazu, Koji Shidara, Kuniko Miyake 1959 Japan Duration: 1:34:38	A lighthearted take on director Yasujiro Ozu’s perennial theme of the challenges of intergenerational relationships, GOOD MORNING tells the story of two young boys who stop speaking in protest after their parents refuse to buy a television set. Ozu weaves a wealth of subtle gags through a family portrait as rich as those of his dramatic films, mocking the foibles of the adult world through the eyes of his child protagonists. Shot in stunning color and set in a suburb of Tokyo where housewives gossip about the neighbors’ new washing machine and unemployed husbands look for work as door-to-door salesmen, this charming comedy refashions Ozu’s own silent classic I WAS BORN, BUT . . . to gently satirize consumerism in postwar Japan.
	Good Times, Wonderful Times Directed by Lionel Rogosin 1966 United Kingdom Duration: 1:09:55	GOOD TIMES, WONDERFUL TIMES is director Lionel Rogosin’s urgent plea for humanity and his searing condemnation of war and fascism. For two years, Rogosin traveled to twelve countries to collect footage of war atrocities from their archives. To lend the film a caustic bite, he interspersed these harrowing images with scenes of a London cocktail party’s mundane chatter—daring viewers to continue to treat such horrors as abstract. Released in 1964 at the height of the Vietnam War, this powerful call for peace stands as one of the great antiwar films of the era.
	Goose Directed by Arie Esiri and Chuko Esiri Starring Jacob Alexander 2017 United States Duration: 09:28	This short film was directed by Arie and Chuko Esiri in 2017, while they were studying film at Columbia University and New York University, respectively, and it stars EYIMOFE’s Jacob Alexander as a single father and amateur fighter on the verge of going pro who discovers that his forgetfulness may be a symptom of something worse.
	The Gospel According to Matthew Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini Starring Enrique Irazoqui, Margherita Caruso, Susanna Pasolini 1964 Italy Duration: 2:17:51	A biblical epic that only the Marxist dissident Pier Paolo Pasolini could make, this intensely faithful adaptation of Saint Matthew’s Gospel depicts the life and teachings of Jesus Christ (Enrique Irazoqui, a Spanish economics student and Communist activist), whose unwavering compassion for the poor and defiant condemnation of moral hypocrisy make him a perhaps unexpected embodiment of the director’s own worldview. Stunningly shot amid the timeless landscapes of southern Italy and set to a soundtrack that encompasses everything from Bach to Black spirituals, THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW cuts past dogma and straight to the core of Jesus’s radical humanism.
	The Gossips of Cicadidae Directed by Vahn Leinard Pascual Starring Rolando Inocencio, AJ Benoza, Alleison Dimatulac 2022 Philippines Duration: 18:07	Drawing on silent-film aesthetics from a bygone era, this mesmerizing monochrome short tells a story of forbidden love. A young boy struggles with feeling trapped in his inherited role as his town’s next folk healer—until he meets a Tikbalang, the half-human, half-horse creature of Philippine folklore.
	The Graduate Directed by Mike Nichols 1967 United States Duration: 1:46:05	One of the most beloved American films of all time, THE GRADUATE earned Mike Nichols a best director Oscar, brought the music of Simon & Garfunkel to a wider audience, and introduced the world to a young actor named Dustin Hoffman. Benjamin Braddock (Hoffman) has just finished college and is already lost in a sea of confusion and barely contained angst when he becomes sexually involved with a friend of his parents’, the indomitable Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), before turning his attention to her college-age daughter (Katharine Ross). Visually imaginative and impeccably acted, with a clever, endlessly quotable script by Buck Henry (based on the novel by Charles Webb), THE GRADUATE had the kind of cultural impact that comes along only once in a generation.
	Gramercy Stories Directed by Joyce Chopra 2008 United States Duration: 51:16	GRAMERCY STORIES is an inspiring look inside a unique residence in Manhattan that provides a safe home for twenty-five gay and transgender teenagers who have experienced violence at home and on the streets.

From this simple, standard premise, Etaix weaves a constantly surprising web of complexly conceived jokes. LE GRAND AMOUR is a cutting, nearly Buñuelian takedown of the bourgeoisie that somehow doesn’t have a mean bone in its body.
	Les Grandes Manœuvres Directed by René Clair 1955 France Duration: 1:47:47	Les Grandes Manoeuvres is a wonderfully autumnal work from Rene Clair -- it was also his first film in color, and he uses the production design and the story, coupled with the range of available hues to impart a dreamlike quality to plot, a romantic escapade by a vain military officer on the eve of World War I. Michele Morgan (Passage To Marseilles, The Chase) is the object of Gerard Phillipe's affections in this wistful tale of a world and an era gone by.
	Grandma's Boy Directed by Fred C. Newmeyer Starring Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davis, Anna Townsend 1922 United States Duration: 56:37	This early feature-length silent comedy pushed the form forward by balancing slapstick hilarity with more serious character development.

Schoedsack—later to achieve cinematic immortality as the makers of KING KONG—joined forces with journalist and spy Marguerite Harrison and set off to film an adventure. They found excitement, danger, and drama in the migration of the Bakhtiari nomads of Persia (now Iran). Twice a year, more than fifty thousand people and half a million animals surmounted seemingly impossible obstacles—braving the icy, raging waters of the half-mile-wide Karun River and winding their way up the side of the sheer, snow-covered rock face of the fifteen-thousand-foot-high Zardeh Kuh mountain—to take their herds to pasture. Risking their own lives in the process, Cooper and Schoedsack captured astonishing, unforgettable images of courage and determination and created one of the cinema’s first great documentaries.
	Graves in the Garden Directed by Jake Meginsky and Sarah Lanzillotta 2020 United States Duration: 06:19	In the heat of the summer, in his backyard garden in Jamaica, Queens, Milford Graves sings to Ọsanyin, the one-eyed, one-armed, one-legged orisha of healing herbs.

Since the legendary success of his only novel, he has been a permanent fixture in the city’s literary and elite social circles. But on his sixty-fifth birthday, Jep unexpectedly finds himself taking stock of his life, turning his cutting wit on himself and his contemporaries, and looking past the lavish nightclubs, parties, and cafés to find Rome itself, in all its monumental glory: a timeless landscape of absurd, exquisite beauty. Featuring sensuous cinematography, a lush score, and an award-winning central performance by the great Toni Servillo, this transporting experience by the brilliant Italian director Paolo Sorrentino is a breathtaking Felliniesque tale of decadence and lost love.
	The Great Dictator Directed by Charles Chaplin Starring Charles Chaplin, Jack Oakie, Paulette Goddard 1940 United States Duration: 2:05:33	In his controversial masterpiece THE GREAT DICTATOR, Charlie Chaplin offers both a cutting caricature of Adolf Hitler and a sly tweaking of his own comic persona. Chaplin, in his first pure talkie, brings his sublime physicality to two roles: the cruel yet clownish “Tomainian” dictator and the kindly Jewish barber who is mistaken for him. Featuring Jack Oakie and Paulette Goddard in stellar supporting turns, THE GREAT DICTATOR, boldly going after the fascist leader before the U.S.’s official entry into World War II, is an audacious amalgam of politics and slapstick that culminates in Chaplin’s famously impassioned speech.

But was the death accidental? A delightful and wholly unexpected murder mystery, British writer/director Sidney Gilliat’s GREEN FOR DANGER features Trevor Howard and Sally Gray as suspected doctors and Alastair Sim in a marvelous turn as Scotland Yard’s insouciant Inspector Cockrill. A screenwriter who had worked with Hitchcock on such films as THE LADY VANISHES and JAMAICA INN, Gilliat slyly upends whodunit conventions with wit and style.
	The Green, Green Grass of Home Directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien Starring Kenny Bee, Meifeng Chen, Jing-kuo Yen 1982 Taiwan Duration: 1:31:05	Hou Hsiao-hsien’s third feature finds him on the cusp of developing his mature style, sharpening his powers of human observation in a charming look at rural-urban culture clash.Kenny Bee plays a schoolteacher from Taipei who arrives in a small town to take a new job as instructor to a class of mischievous students.

	Green Grow the Rushes Directed by Derek N. Twist 1951 United States Duration: 1:18:42	The British film industry was in deep trouble in the late 1940s, sufficient to justify the craft unions themselves working to secure some production for their members -- one result was Green Grow The Rushes (1951), a comedy directed by Derek Twist and starring Richard Burton, Roger Livesey (The Life And Death of Colonel Blimp, I Know Where I'm Going), and Honor Blackman (Goldfinger, The Avengers, A Night To Remember). The plot is a piercing look at postwar Britain, and efforts to move the nation into the modern age -- that doesn't sit well with the people of Anderia Marsh, who have claimed a right (going back to Henry III) to evade government-imposed import duties and taxes. And when the government decides to curb this right, the whole village quietly rises up in a comical rebellion.

	The Green Ray Directed by Eric Rohmer Starring Marie Rivière, María Luisa García, Vincent Gauthier 1986 France Duration: 1:39:03	Eric Rohmer captures the ache of summertime sadness with exquisite poignancy in this luminous tale of self-exploration. The Jules Verne novel of the same name provides the loose inspiration for the story of Delphine (Marie Rivière), a dreamy, introverted young secretary who, reeling from a breakup with her boyfriend, faces the anxiety-inducing prospect of spending her summer vacation alone. As she bounces from a getaway in Cherbourg to the tourist-choked Alps to the sunny beaches of Biarritz, Delphine passes through a whirl of social activity—but through it all remains profoundly alone, searching for the true human connection that seems to perpetually elude her. As honest a portrait of loneliness, depression, and the longing for understanding as has ever been committed to film, THE GREEN RAY stands as one of the most piercingly perceptive works by the French cinema’s keenest observer of human relationships.
	Greetings from Africa Directed by Cheryl Dunye Starring Nora Breen, Cheryl Dunye, Jocelyn Taylor 1996 United States Duration: 09:31	Playing herself, Cheryl Dunye humorously experiences the mysteries of lesbian dating in the 1990s.

	Gregory Go Boom Directed by Janicza Bravo Starring Michael Cera, Sarah Burns, Brett Gelman 2013 United States Duration: 17:33	An awkward, paraplegic man (Michael Cera) goes looking for love in this daringly oddball comic nightmare, winner of the Sundance short-film jury prize.
	Grey Gardens Directed by David Maysles, Albert Maysles, Ellen Hovde, and Muffie Meyer 1976 United States Duration: 1:35:20	Directed by David Maysles, Albert Maysles, Ellen Hovde, and Muffie Meyer • 1976 • United States Meet Big and Little Edie Beale: mother and daughter, high-society dropouts, and reclusive cousins of Jackie Onassis. The two manage to thrive together amid the decay and disorder of their East Hampton, New York, mansion, making for an eerily ramshackle echo of the American Camelot. An impossibly intimate portrait, this 1976 documentary by Albert and David Maysles, codirected by Ellen Hovde and Muffie Meyer, quickly became a cult classic and established Little Edie as a fashion icon and philosopher queen.
	Growing Up Female Directed by Julia Reichert and Jim Klein 1971 United States Duration: 49:26	Hailed by Susan Sontag (“One of those painful experiences that’s good for you”), Gloria Steinem (“A true and piercing look at American womanhood”), and Elizabeth Hardwick (“In its unadorned truthfulness there is a sad and simple poetry, and a lesson about the lives of all of us”), Julia Reichert and Jim Klein’s GROWING UP FEMALE is s a touchstone of 1970s feminism, illuminating the forces that shaped the lives and self-images of six girls and women.
	Grown-Ups Directed by Mike Leigh Starring Phil Davis, Brenda Blethyn, Lesley Manville 1980 United Kingdom Duration: 1:36:47	One of the finest of the films that Mike Leigh produced for the BBC early in his career, GROWN-UPS focuses on the relationship between Dick (Philip Davis) and Mandy (Lesley Manville), a young, newlywed couple whose marital tensions are exacerbated by those around them, including their next-door neighbor (Sam Kelly)—who just so happens to their stern ex-teacher—and Gloria (Brenda Blethyn), Mandy’s cringe-inducingly oblivious sister, whose constant presence becomes a source of immense irritation. In true Leigh fashion, things come to a head in a climax that is brilliantly funny and heartbreaking at the same time.
	Guelwaar Directed by Ousmane Sembène Starring Thierno Ndiaye Doss, Mame Ndoumbé Diop, Myriam Niang 1992 France Duration: 1:54:34	“Guelwaar” is the nickname of Pierre Henri Thioune (Thierno Ndiaye), a political radical and agitator whose criticism of Senegal’s reliance on foreign aid ruffles the feathers of the powers-that-be. His suspicious death is followed by a farcical mix-up when his corpse is mistaken for that of another man and accidentally interred in an Islamic cemetery. Guelwaar’s family, led by Europeanized son Barthelemy (Ndiawar Diop), enlists the local police to unearth and then rebury their paterfamilias on Catholic ground, but Muslim resistance sparks a religious conflict and unleashes long held hostilities among townspeople and within the Thioune clan. At once a tragicomic study of social atomization and a hopeful vision of Pan-African solidarity and independence, GUELWAAR is Ousmane Sembène’s master class in interweaving complex storylines and merging disparate stylistic tones.
	La guerre est finie Directed by Alain Resnais Starring Yves Montand, Ingrid Thulin, Geneviève Bujold 1966 France Duration: 2:02:28	With an Academy Award–nominated, autobiographical screenplay by Spanish political exile Jorge Semprún, LA GUERRE EST FINIE (“The War Is Over”) finds pioneering modernist Alain Resnais channeling his signature explorations of time and memory into a tense political thriller that gives voice to the revolutionary fervor and dashed dreams that marked a generation. Three decades after the Spanish Civil War, Communist operative Diego Mora (Yves Montand) finds himself juggling multiple secret identities as he continues his dangerous missions and reflects on a life of political struggle. Though he is increasingly disillusioned, his determination to help a possibly captured comrade and a chance encounter with an impetuous student terrorist (Geneviève Bujold) keep his commitment to the cause alive in a world of subterfuge and treachery.
	A Guide to Breathing Underwater Directed by Raven Jackson 2018 United States Duration: 07:23	Traversing New York City, a dancer seeks freedom and peace through movement.
	The Guitar Mongoloid Directed by Ruben Östlund Starring Mikael Allu, Bjarne Gunnarsson, Erik Gustafsson 2004 Sweden Duration: 1:25:05	Earning comparisons to the work of Harmony Korine and Roy Andersson, Ruben Östlund’s audacious feature debut is a defiantly lo-fi, virtually plotless portrait of iconoclasts and outsiders living on the margins of a fictional city known as Jöteborg (which closely resembles Gothenburg). Training his coolly detached, perpetually static camera on a cross section of hooligans, bikers, buskers, and oddballs, Östlund fashions a wild, weird, and at times surprisingly sensitive look at the ineffable strangeness of human nature.
	Gulpilil—One Red Blood Directed by Darlene Johnson Starring David Gulpilil 2002 Australia	Legendary Aboriginal actor David Gulpilil shares the story of his extraordinary life, career, and philosophy in this insightful documentary portrait. Interwoven with footage of the actor at his home in Ramingining in Australia’s Northern Territory, the film traces Gulpilil’s journey from his traditional Aboriginal upbringing to his breakthrough film role in WALKABOUT to how he navigated the dichotomy of life as both an international movie star and a proud Indigenous man who held strongly to ancient Aboriginal values. Guiding everything is his belief in a world in which we are all connected by “one red blood.”
	La haine Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz Starring Vincent Cassel, Hubert Koundé, Saïd Taghmaoui 1995 France Duration: 1:38:17	Mathieu Kassovitz took the film world by storm with LA HAINE, a gritty, unsettling, and visually explosive look at the racial and cultural volatility in modern-day France, specifically the low-income banlieue districts on Paris’s outskirts. Aimlessly passing their days in the concrete environs of their dead-end suburbia, Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Hubert (Hubert Koundé), and Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui), a Jew, an African, and an Arab, give human faces to France’s immigrant populations, their bristling resentment at their marginalization slowly simmering until it reaches a climactic boiling point. A work of tough beauty, LA HAINE is a landmark of contemporary French cinema and a gripping reflection of its country’s ongoing identity crisis.
	Hairat Directed by Jessica Beshir 2017 Ethiopia Duration: 06:37	Yussuf Mume Saleh journeys nightly into the outskirts of the walled city of Harar to bond with his beloved hyenas, a ritual he has practiced for over thirty-five years. Shot in black and white, HAIRAT is a meditation on this uniquely symbiotic relationship between man and wild beast.

	Hair Wolf Directed by Mariama Diallo Starring Kara Young, Taliah Webster, Madeline Weinstein 2018 United States Duration: 12:14	She’s white and she wants dreads . . .

	Half a Loaf of Kung Fu Directed by Chan Chi-hwa Starring Jackie Chan, Doris Lung Chun-Erh, James Tien 1978 Hong Kong Duration: 1:36:50	Like a live-action comic book, this antic farce lets Jackie Chan, choreographing his own fight sequences, cut loose with a wild parody of the martial-arts genre. He plays a bumbling wannabe kung-fu master who, when he assumes the identity of a dead hero, finds himself embroiled in a series of absurd misadventures and the search for a pair of mystical artifacts. Cartoon sound effects and send-ups of everything from Popeye to JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR are part of the lighthearted fun—not to mention Chan fighting a bald adversary with his own wig!
	Hallelujah Directed by King Vidor Starring Daniel L. Haynes, Nina Mae McKinney, William Fountaine 1929 United States Duration: 1:40:00	HALLELUJAH is a cinematic milestone: the first feature from a major studio to star an entirely Black cast, and the first talkie made by titan director King Vidor. Infused with spirituals, folk songs, blues, and jazz (Irving Berlin provided two songs for the production), this groundbreaking musical follows the fortunes of Zeke (Daniel L. Haynes), a poor cotton farmer, as he succumbs to the temptations of Chick (Nina Mae McKinney), a mercenary honky-tonk girl, finds salvation in religion, and falls again when his obsession for Chick overpowers his better self.
	The Hall of Lost Footsteps Directed by Jaromil Jireš 1960 Czechoslovakia Duration: 12:07	This early short by Jaromil Jireš anticipates the formal and stylistic experimentation that would characterize VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS.

	Halving the Bones Directed by Starring Ruth Ozeki 1995 Japan Duration: 1:09:03	Skeletons in the closet? HALVING THE BONES delivers a surprising twist on the old saying. This cleverly constructed film tells the story of Ruth, a half-Japanese filmmaker living in New York, who has inherited a can of bones that she keeps on a shelf in her closet. The bones are half of the remains of her dead Japanese grandmother, which she is supposed to deliver to her estranged mother. A narrative and visual web of family stories, home movies, and documentary footage, HALVING THE BONES provides a spirited exploration of the meaning of family, history, memory, cultural identity, and what it means to have been named after Babe Ruth!
	Hamlet Directed by Laurence Olivier Starring Laurence Olivier, Leslie Banks, Basil Sydney 1948 United Kingdom Duration: 2:33:57	Winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor, Sir Laurence Olivier’s HAMLET continues to be the most compelling version of Shakespeare’s beloved tragedy. Olivier is at his most inspired—both as director and as the melancholy Dane himself—as he breathes new life into the words of one of the world’s greatest dramatists.
	Hand in Hand Directed by Im Kwon-taek 1988 South Korea Duration: 1:59:20	Director Im Kwon-taek roots his idiosyncratic Olympic documentary, HAND IN HAND, in the past, with opening shots of the barbed wire dividing South from North Korea and an Australian veteran recalling the conflict of the early fifties. Im brings a true auteur's sensibility to his documentary. He heightens certain sounds, such as the crash of swimmers entering the water or the thump of a diving platform. The cheers of the crowds are subservient to the music, but, when ushered in by Im, the applause is all the more energizing, like the thunder of waves on the shore.
	Hands over the City Directed by Francesco Rosi Starring Rod Steiger, Salvo Randone, Guido Alberti 1963 Italy Duration: 1:40:57	Rod Steiger is ferocious as a scheming land developer in Francesco Rosi’s HANDS OVER THE CITY, a blistering work of social realism and the winner of the 1963 Venice Film Festival Golden Lion. This expose of the politically driven real-estate speculation that has devastated Naples’s civilian landscape moves breathlessly from a cataclysmic building collapse to the backroom negotiations of civic leaders vying for power in a city council election, laying bare the inner workings of corruption with passion and outrage.
	The Hand Directed by Wong Kar Wai Starring Gong Li, Chang Chen, Feng Tien 2004 Hong Kong Duration: 56:30	Like IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, THE HAND is set in the hazy Hong Kong of the 1960s, but its characters couldn’t be more different from the earlier film’s restrained, haunted lovers. Originally conceived for the omnibus film EROS, the film—presented in this retrospective for the first time in its extended cut—tells the tale of Zhang (Chang Chen), a shy tailor’s assistant enraptured by a mysterious client, Miss Hua (Gong Li). A hypnotic tale of obsession, repression, and class divisions, THE HAND finds Wong Kar Wai continuing to transition from the frenetic, energized style of his earlier films into a register that is lush with romantic grandeur.
	Hannah Takes the Stairs Directed by Joe Swanberg Starring Greta Gerwig, Kent Osborne, Andrew Bujalski 2007 United States Duration: 1:23:44	Over the course of one hot postgraduate summer, Hannah (Greta Gerwig) falls precariously in and out of love. A breaker of hearts and chronically dissatisfied, she finds herself drifting away from her newly unemployed boyfriend (Mark Duplass) and drawn to two of her coworkers, Matt (Kent Osborne) and Paul (Andrew Bujalski). Conceived without a traditional script, this alternately heartbreaking and hilarious triumph of improvisational acting was born from collaboration between director Joe Swanberg and his cast, which includes some of the leading independent filmmakers of their generation.
	Hanzo the Razor: Sword of Justice Directed by Kenji Misumi 1972 Japan Duration: 1:29:51	Hanzo 'The Razor' Itami (Shintaro Katsu), incorruptible protector of the common man, must track down an infamous killer who has escaped from prison.

	Happy Mother’s Day Directed by Joyce Chopra and Richard Leacock 1963 United States Duration: 26:04	September 23, 1963, was a happy mother’s day for Mary Ann Fischer when she gave birth to quintuplets in Aberdeen, South Dakota. Only the third such delivery, five babies all at once, medical history in America’s heartland—what better ingredients for a great story? Filmmakers Richard Leacock and Joyce Chopra head to Aberdeen to document, with vérité immediacy, the impact of the birth on a small town and on a newly expanded family thrust, whether they like it or not, into the media spotlight.
	Happy Together Directed by Wong Kar Wai Starring Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing 1997 Hong Kong Duration: 1:36:22	One of the most searing romances of the 1990s, Wong Kar Wai’s emotionally raw, lushly stylized portrait of a relationship in breakdown casts Hong Kong superstars Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing as a couple traveling through Argentina and locked in a turbulent cycle of infatuation and destructive jealousy as they break up, make up, and fall apart again and again. Setting out to depict the dynamics of a queer relationship with empathy and complexity on the cusp of the 1997 handover of Hong Kong—when the country’s LGBTQ community suddenly faced an uncertain future—Wong crafts a feverish look at the life cycle of a love affair that is by turns devastating and deliriously romantic. Shot by ace cinematographer Christopher Doyle in both luminous monochrome and luscious saturated color, HAPPY TOGETHER is an intoxicating exploration of displacement and desire that swoons with the ache and exhilaration of love at its heart-tearing extremes.
	Harakiri Directed by Masaki Kobayashi Starring Tatsuya Nakadai, Rentaro Mikuni, Akira Ishihama 1962 Japan Duration: 2:12:51	Following the collapse of his clan, an unemployed samurai (Tatsuya Nakadai) arrives at the manor of Lord Iyi, begging to be allowed to commit ritual suicide on the property. Iyi’s clansmen, believing the desperate ronin is merely angling for a new position, try to force his hand and get him to eviscerate himself, but they have underestimated his beliefs and his personal brand of honor. Winner of the Cannes Film Festival’s Special Jury Prize, HARAKIRI, directed by Masaki Kobayashi, is a fierce evocation of individual agency in the face of a corrupt and hypocritical system.
	A Hard Day’s Night Directed by Richard Lester 1964 United Kingdom Duration: 1:27:38	Directed by Richard Lester • 1964 • United Kingdom Meet the Beatles! Just one month after they exploded onto the U.S. scene with their Ed Sullivan Show appearance, John, Paul, George, and Ringo began working on a project that would bring their revolutionary talent to the big screen. A HARD DAY’S NIGHT, in which the bandmates play cheeky comic versions of themselves, captured the astonishing moment when they officially became the singular, irreverent idols of their generation and changed music forever. Directed with raucous, anything-goes verve by Richard Lester and featuring a slew of iconic pop anthems, including the title track, “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “I Should Have Known Better,” and “If I Fell,” A HARD DAY’S NIGHT, which reconceived the movie musical and exerted an incalculable influence on the music video, is one of the most deliriously entertaining movies of all time.
	Hard Labour Directed by Mike Leigh Starring Liz Smith, Clifford Kershaw, Polly Hemingway 1973 United Kingdom Duration: 1:13:45	Mike Leigh’s first television drama is also one of his most autobiographical works, set in the same neighborhood where he grew up in Salford in Northern England. Mrs. Thornley (Liz Smith, in a poignantly understated performance) is a hardworking maid and housewife who is exploited and underappreciated by all around her, including her gruff husband (Clifford Kershaw) and adult daughter (Polly Hemingway). Though she bears her suffering silently, it is in the privacy of the church confessional that Mrs. Thornley reveals her innermost feelings. Look out for an early appearance by Ben Kingsley as a taxi driver.
	The Hard Way Directed by Vincent Sherman Starring Ida Lupino, Dennis Morgan, Joan Leslie 1943 United States Duration: 1:49:06	When Bette Davis turned down the lead role in this juicy, dark-hearted backstage melodrama (a decision she later regretted), it paved the way for Ida Lupino to take on one of her finest dramatic showcases. She is at her hard-edged best as the fiercely ambitious stage “mother” who will do almost anything—and betray almost anyone—to turn her talented sister (Joan Leslie) into a Broadway star and pull them both out of a life of small-town drudgery.
	Harlan County USA Directed by Barbara Kopple 1976 United States Duration: 1:44:42	Directed by Barbara Kopple • 1976 • United States Barbara Kopple’s Academy Award-winning HARLAN COUNTY USA unflinchingly documents a grueling coal miners’ strike in a small Kentucky town. With unprecedented access, Kopple and her crew captured the miners’ sometimes violent struggles with strikebreakers, local police, and company thugs. Featuring a haunting soundtrack, with legendary country and bluegrass artists Hazel Dickens, Merle Travis, Sarah Gunning, and Florence Reece, the film is a heartbreaking record of the thirteen-month struggle between a community fighting to survive and a corporation dedicated to the bottom line.
	The Hat Directed by John Hubley Starring Dizzy Gillespie, Dudley Moore 1964 United States Duration: 18:32	Two soldiers, voiced by Dizzy Gillespie and Dudley Moore, patrol the border between their countries.

	Le Havre Directed by Aki Kaurismäki Starring Blondin Miguel, André Wilms 2011 France Duration: 1:33:51	Directed by Aki Kaurismäki • 2011 • France, Finland Starring Blondin Miguel, André Wilms In this warmhearted comic yarn from Aki Kaurismäki, fate throws the young African refugee Idrissa (Blondin Miguel) into the path of Marcel Marx (André Wilms), a kindly old bohemian who shines shoes for a living in the French harbor city Le Havre. With inborn optimism and the support of his tight-knit community, Marcel stands up to the officials doggedly pursuing the boy for deportation. A political fairy tale that exists somewhere between the reality of contemporary France and the classic French cinema of the past, LE HAVRE is a charming, deadpan delight and one of the Finnish director’s finest films.
	Hawai Directed by Ximena Cuevas 1999 United States Duration: 02:10	Ximena Cuevas dissects an upper-class wedding in Mexico City where the guests fantasize about the exotic faraway dreamscape that is their “Hawai.”
	Hawire Directed by Steven Soderbergh Starring Gina Carano, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor 2011 United States Duration: 1:32:53	Steven Soderbergh brings his clockwork-precise craftsmanship to this meticulously constructed thriller featuring some of the most dazzling fight choreography this side of Hong Kong genre cinema.

	The Hawks and the Sparrows Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini Starring Totò, Ninetto Davoli, Femi Benussi 1966 Italy Duration: 1:29:42	While wandering the countryside, a pair of father-and-son vagabonds (played respectively by Italian cinema legend Totò, in his final major film role, and Ninetto Davoli) happen upon a talking crow who spouts philosophy and launches them on a freewheeling picaresque through time, space, and the margins of a rapidly modernizing Italy. A comic Marxist fable that balances heady ideas about religion, poverty, and class struggle with irreverent slapstick sight gags, THE HAWKS AND THE SPARROWS finds Pasolini at his lightest yet as stingingly subversive as ever.
	Häxan Directed by Benjamin Christensen Starring Benjamin Christensen, Astrid Holm, Karen Winther 1922 Denmark Duration: 1:45:49	Grave robbing, torture, possessed nuns, and a satanic Sabbath: Benjamin Christensen’s legendary silent film uses a series of dramatic vignettes to explore the scientific hypothesis that the witches of the Middle Ages and early modern era suffered from the same ills as psychiatric patients diagnosed with hysteria in the film's own time.

	High Sierra Directed by Raoul Walsh Starring Ida Lupino, Humphrey Bogart, Alan Curtis 1941 United States Duration: 1:40:01	Marking the moment when the gritty gangster sagas of the 1930s began giving way to the romantic fatalism of ’40s film noir, HIGH SIERRA also contains the star-making performance of Humphrey Bogart, who, alongside top-billed Ida Lupino, proved his leading-man mettle with his tough yet tender turn as Roy Earle.

	History Is Made at Night Directed by Frank Borzage 1937 United States Duration: 1:37:43	Suffused with intoxicating romanticism, HISTORY IS MADE AT NIGHT is a sublime paean to love from Frank Borzage, classic Hollywood’s supreme poet of carnal and spiritual desire. On the run through Europe from her wealthy, cruelly possessive husband, an unhappy socialite (Jean Arthur) is thrown together by fate with a suave stranger (Charles Boyer)—and soon the two are bound in a consuming, seemingly impossible affair that stretches across continents and brings them to the very edge of catastrophe. Lent a palpable erotic charge by the chemistry between its leads, this delirious vision of lovers beset by the world passes through a dizzying array of tonal shifts—from melodrama to romantic comedy to noir to disaster thriller—smoothly guided by Borzage’s unwavering allegiance to the power of love.

Sun-dappled bliss turns to nerve-racking suspense, however, when two hit men—played by a soulless John Hurt and a youthful, loose-cannon Tim Roth—come a-calling to bring Willie back for execution. This stylish early gem from Stephen Frears boasts terrific performances from a roster of England’s best hard-boiled actors, music by Eric Clapton and virtuoso flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucía, and ravishing photography of its desolate Spanish locations—a splendid backdrop for a rather sordid story.

Following the death of his wife, Gurupada (Prasad Mukherjee) and his daughter (Gitali Roy) find themselves under the sway of Birinchi Baba (Charuprakash Ghosh), a self-proclaimed holy man who claims to be ageless and dazzles them with his fantastical stories of meeting Plato, teaching Einstein, witnessing the Crucifixion, and being on first-name terms with the Buddha.

	Home When You Return Directed by Carl Elsaesser 2021 United States Duration: 30:12	“Stretching and blurring the boundaries of video essay, experimental film, and home movie, traces of a 1950s homemade melodrama by amateur filmmaker Joan Thurber Baldwin intermingle with a mournful homage to the author’s grandmother and her vacated home. A powerful mélange of cinematic and domestic spaces, past and present.” —Kevin B. Lee

Macy, Ving Rhames 1991 United States Duration: 1:41:29	In David Mamet’s cinema, nothing is as it seems—so you better know what you’re looking for.

Gold’s investigation, following the murder of an elderly Jewish candy-shop owner, leads him down a path of obscure encounters and clues, to a profound reckoning with his own identity. Filled with Mamet’s trademark verbal play and featuring standout supporting performances from William H. Macy, Ving Rhames, and Rebecca Pidgeon, HOMICIDE is a taut, rich work from a true American original.

	Hôtel du Nord Directed by Marcel Carné 1938 France Duration: 1:37:11	Hotel Du Nord isn't as well known as the two movies Marcel Carné made before and after, Port Of Shadows and Le Jour Se Lève. But any Carné, especially pre-war Carné (and doubly so with Arletty in the cast), is worth seeing. Annabella is the star of this drama, about a star-crossed couple, betrayal, and redemption involving a procuror (Louis Jouvet) who is profoundly affected by her innocence.
	Hotel Monterey Directed by Chantal Akerman 1972 United States Duration: 1:03:06	Under Chantal Akerman’s watchful eye, a cheap Manhattan hotel glows with mystery and unexpected beauty, its corridors, elevators, rooms, windows, and occasional occupants framed like Edward Hopper tableaux. Filmed over the course of fifteen hours, from evening to dawn, with cinematographer and frequent collaborator Babette Mangolte’s carefully controlled camera gradually making its way from the lamplit lobby to the rooftop overlooking an awakening city, this radical, silent experiment in duration stands as one of Akerman’s most arresting formal achievements, collapsing time and charging the quotidian space it surveys with an eerie unreality.
	Hot Mother Directed by Lucy Knox Starring Alison Bruce, Erana James, Simon Deighton 2020 New Zealand Duration: 14:19	What should be a relaxing mother-daughter retreat to an idyllic New Zealand spa becomes a harrowing fight for survival in this nightmarish vision of a troubled parent-child relationship in extremis.
	Hot Pepper Directed by Les Blank 1973 United States Duration: 54:37	A companion piece to DRY WOOD that was filmed simultaneously, this is an energetic portrait of the Grammy-winning Creole musician Clifton Chenier, a.k.a. the King of Zydeco. HOT PEPPER brings viewers into the Louisiana juke joints where Chenier plays his unique music, which synthesizes elements of traditional Cajun dance tunes and black R&B with African-inflected percussion. Chenier’s accordion-driven rhythms and sophisticated melodies are unforgettably catchy, and Les Blank beautifully captures the music’s propulsive, foot-tapping joy on film.
	Hour of the Wolf Directed by Ingmar Bergman 1968 Sweden Duration: 1:27:46	Johan Borg (Max Von Sydow), an artist battling repressed desires, starts to lose his grip on reality while vacationing on a remote Scandinavian island with his wife Alma (Liv Ulmann).
	House Directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi 1977 Japan Duration: 1:27:56	How to describe Nobuhiko Obayashi’s indescribable 1977 movie HOUSE (HAUSU)? As a psychedelic ghost tale? A stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? An episode of “Scooby-Doo” as directed by Mario Bava? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip about a schoolgirl who travels with six classmates to her ailing aunt’s creaky country home and comes face-to-face with evil spirits, a demonic house cat, a bloodthirsty piano, and other ghoulish visions, all realized by Obayashi via mattes, animation, and collage effects. Equally absurd and nightmarish, HOUSE might have been beamed to Earth from some other planet. Never before available on home video in the United States, it’s one of the most exciting cult discoveries in years.
	The House Is Black Directed by Forugh Farrokhzad 1963 Iran Duration: 22:19	The only film directed by trailblazing feminist Iranian poet Forough Farrokhzad finds unexpected grace where few would think to look: a leper colony whose inhabitants live, worship, learn, play, and celebrate in a self-contained community cut off from the rest of the world. Through ruminative voiceover narration drawn from the Old Testament, the Koran, and the filmmaker’s own poetry and unflinching images that refuse to look away from physical difference, Farrokhzad creates a profoundly empathetic portrait of those cast off by society—a face-to-face encounter with the humanity behind the disease. A key forerunner of the Iranian New Wave, THE HOUSE IS BLACK is a triumph of transcendent lyricism from a visionary artist whose influence is only beginning to be fully appreciated.
	The Housemaid Directed by Kim Ki-young Starring Kim Jin-kyu, Ju Jung-nyeo, Lee Eun-shim 1960 South Korea Duration: 1:51:23	Directed by Kim Ki-young • 1960 • South Korea Starring Kim Jin-kyu, Ju Jung-nyeo, Lee Eun-shim A torrent of sexual obsession, revenge, and betrayal is unleashed under one roof in this venomous melodrama from South Korean master Kim Ki-young. Immensely popular in its home country when it was released, THE HOUSEMAID is the thrilling, at times jaw-dropping story of the devastating effect an unstable housemaid has on the domestic cocoon of a bourgeois, morally dubious music teacher, his devoted wife, and their precocious young children. Grim and taut yet perched on the border of the absurd, Kim’s film is an engrossing tale of class warfare and familial disintegration that has been hugely influential on the new generation of South Korean filmmakers. Restored in 2008 by the Korean Film Archive (KOFA), in association with The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project and HFR-Digital Film laboratory. Additional restoration funded by Armani, Cartier, Qatar Airways, and Qatar Museum Authority.
	House on Haunted Hill Directed by William Castle Starring Vincent Price, Carol Ohmart, Richard Long 1959 United States Duration: 1:14:56	B-movie maestro William Castle and cult star Vincent Price join forces for this unabashedly entertaining old-dark-house thriller, which blends creepy atmospherics with a touch of camp outrageousness. Price plays a wealthy eccentric who throws a party at his foreboding mansion, offering to give each of his guests $10,000—as long as they can survive the night. What begins as an evening of fun and harmless scares soon becomes a night of terror, as the weird goings-on (ghosts, a pit of acid, walking skeletons) and schlocky-fun thrills pile up.

Bringing Shoog’s photography to life, the film immerses audiences in a world of fat beauty and liberation, one in which marginalized bodies—including bodies of water—are sacred.
	How to Get Ahead in Advertising Directed by Bruce Robinson Starring Richard E. Grant, Rachel Ward, Richard Wilson 1988 United Kingdom Duration: 1:34:25	Richard E. Grant is the endlessly suave Dennis Bagley, a high-strung advertising executive whose shoulder sprouts an evil, talking boil.

This caustic satire reunites the talented team behind the cult classic WITHNAIL AND I to create a tour de force of verbal jousting and physical comedy.

	The Hudsucker Proxy Directed by Joel Coen, Ethan Coen Starring Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Paul Newman 1994 United States Duration: 1:50:46	The Coen brothers’ sparky satire of corporate greed is an irresistibly inventive take on the Preston Sturges/Frank Capra–style screwball comedy constructed with clockwork precision. When the founder of Hudsucker Industries leaps to his death from the forty-fourth-floor boardroom window, the board of directors panics. But there is a plan: install a complete imbecile as president of the company and devalue the stock so the board can acquire a controlling interest for themselves. Enter Norville Barnes (Tim Robbins). Fresh off the bus from Muncie, Indiana, Norville is ready to start at the bottom and work his way up to the top of the corporate world . . . he just never imagined it would happen so quickly.

Originally filmed and released in three parts, the nine-and-a-half-hour THE HUMAN CONDITION (NINGEN NO JOKEN), adapted from Junpei Gomikawa’s six-volume novel, tells of the journey of the well-intentioned yet naive Kaji (handsome Japanese superstar Tatsuya Nakadai) from labor camp supervisor to Imperial Army soldier to Soviet POW.

Their voyage will take them from Marseille to Corsica and finally to Sidi Bel Abbès, Algeria, the historical headquarters of the Legion.

Demonstrating Dumont’s deftness with nonactors and relentlessly frank depiction of bodies and sexuality, L’HUMANITÉ is at once an idiosyncratic police procedural and a provocative exploration of the tension between humankind’s capacity for compassion and our base, sometimes barbarous animal instincts.

The result of an extraordinarily ambitious collaboration between the Soviet and Cuban film industries, director Mikhail Kalatozov’s I AM CUBA unfolds in four explosive vignettes that capture Cuban life on the brink of transformation, as crushing economic exploitation and inequality give way to a working-class uprising. Backed by Carlos Fariñas’s stirring score, the dazzling camera work by Sergei Urusevsky—an inspiration for generations of filmmakers to follow—gives flight to the movie’s message of liberation.

It’s a perilous journey during which they will confront the wreckage of the twentieth century, the chilling vastness of the cosmos, and their own mortality. A triumph of avant-garde production design that served as a model for Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, IKARIE XB 1—long known internationally only through a mangled and dubbed reedit—is a singular sci-fi landmark that finds both terror and wonder in the unknown.

Over a series of intimate episodes, just about every one featuring a different man, a new hairstyle, and an outfit to match, the unsung Italian master Antonio Pietrangeli, working from a script he cowrote with Ettore Scola, composes a deft, seriocomic character study that never strays from its complicated central figure. I KNEW HER WELL is a thrilling rediscovery, by turns funny, tragic, and altogether jaw-dropping.

Also starring an ethereal Jeanne Moreau, this jewel-like film, dreamily shot by Willy Kurant and suffused with the music of Erik Satie, is a brooding, evocative distillation of Welles' artistic interests, a story about the nature of storytelling and the fine line between illusion and reality.

	The Importance of Being Earnest Directed by Anthony Asquith Starring Michael Redgrave, Joan Greenwood, Dame Edith Evans 1952 United Kingdom Duration: 1:35:50	Oscar Wilde’s comic jewel sparkles in Anthony Asquith’s film adaptation of THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST. Featuring brilliantly polished performances by Michael Redgrave, Joan Greenwood, and Dame Edith Evans, the enduringly hilarious story of two young women who think themselves engaged to the same nonexistent man is given the grand Technicolor treatment. Seldom has a classic stage comedy been so engagingly transferred to the screen.
	In a Year of 13 Moons Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder Starring Volker Spengler, Ingrid Caven, Gottfried John 1978 West Germany Duration: 2:05:01	This heartrendingly compassionate tragedy from Rainer Werner Fassbinder traces the final days in the life of Elvira (Volker Spengler), a transgender woman spurned by her former lover, as she reaches out desperately for understanding. With infinite empathy for the plight of the dispossessed, Fassbinder crafts a searing statement on both the universal need for love and the human capacity for cruelty.
	Inconsequential Doggereal Directed by Ulysses Jenkins 1981 United States Duration: 15:27	Ulysses Jenkins continues his investigation of mass-media saturation in this kaleidoscope of VHS-recorded TV flotsam, menacing lawnmowers, footballs, and the artist’s own waggling butt.
	India Cabaret Directed by Mira Nair 1985 India Duration: 1:00:07	This documentary examines the line separating “good” and “bad” women in Indian society, specifically by focusing on the dancers at a Bombay strip club, a frequent patron, and his stay-at-home wife.
	India: Matri Bhumi Directed by Roberto Rossellini 1959 Italy Duration: 1:30:51	Documentary and narrative merge in Roberto Rossellini’s miraculous, poetic portrait of India. Commissioned by India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, INDIA: MATRI BHUMI takes us beyond the bustling streets of the cities and into the country’s rural villages, where humans, nature, and animals coexist even as the forces of industrial modernization encroach. This unique blend of neorealist travelogue and scripted vignettes was cited by Rossellini as a personal favorite among his own works.
	India Song Directed by Marguerite Duras Starring Delphine Seyrig, Michael Lonsdale, Mathieu Carrière 1975 France Duration: 1:59:26	The most celebrated of writer-filmmaker Marguerite Duras’s singular features unfolds within the decaying decadence of an embassy in 1930s India, where a French diplomat’s wife (Delphine Seyrig) pursues multiple love affairs while succumbing to a sense of overpowering ennui. Sex, madness, and colonial guilt are interwoven into a hauntingly beautiful, almost incantatory experience with few stylistic precedents in the history of cinema.
	In Dog Years Directed by Sophy Romvari 2019 Canada Duration: 10:57	Old dogs are celebrated in ten short stories about love, loss, and letting go.
	Infernal Affairs Directed by Andrew Lau Wai-keung and Alan Mak Starring Andy Lau Tak-wah, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Anthony Wong Chau-sang 2002 Hong Kong Duration: 1:41:20	Two of Hong Kong cinema’s most iconic leading men, Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Andy Lau Tak-wah, face off in the breathtaking thriller that revitalized the city-state’s twenty-first-century film industry, launched a blockbuster franchise, and inspired Martin Scorsese’s THE DEPARTED. The setup is diabolical in its simplicity: two undercover moles—a police officer (Leung) assigned to infiltrate a ruthless triad by posing as a gangster, and a gangster (Lau) who becomes a police officer in order to serve as a spy for the underworld—find themselves locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse, each racing against time to unmask the other. As the shifting loyalties, murky moral compromises, and deadly betrayals mount, INFERNAL AFFAIRS raises haunting questions about what it means to live a double life, lost in a labyrinth of conflicting identities and allegiances.
	Infernal Affairs II Directed by Andrew Lau Wai-keung and Alan Mak Starring Edison Chen Koon-hei, Shawn Yue Man-lok, Anthony Wong Chau-sang 2003 Hong Kong Duration: 2:00:01	The first of two sequels to follow in the wake of the massively successful INFERNAL AFFAIRS softens the original’s furious pulp punch in favor of something more sweeping, elegiac, and overtly political. Flashing back in time, INFERNAL AFFAIRS II traces the tangled histories that bind the trilogy’s two pairs of adversaries: the young, dueling moles (here played by Edison Chen Koon-hei and Shawn Yue Man-lok), and the ascendant crime boss (Eric Tsang Chi-wai) and police inspector (Anthony Wong Chau-sang) whose respective rises reveal a shocking hidden connection. Unfolding against the political and psychological upheaval of Hong Kong’s handover from Britain to China, this elegant, character-driven crime drama powerfully connects its themes of split loyalties to the city-state’s own postcolonial identity crisis.
	Infernal Affairs III Directed by Andrew Lau Wai-keung and Alan Mak Starring Andy Lau Tak-wah, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Leon Lai 2003 Hong Kong Duration: 1:58:26	Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Andy Lau Tak-wah return for the cathartic conclusion of the INFERNAL AFFAIRS trilogy, which layers on even more deep-cover intrigue while steering the series into increasingly complex psychological territory. Dancing back and forth in time to before and after the events of the original film, INFERNAL AFFAIRS III follows triad gangster turned corrupt cop Lau Kin-ming (Lau) as he goes to dangerous lengths to avoid detection, matches wits with a devious rival in the force (Leon Lai), and finds himself haunted by the fate of his former undercover nemesis (Leung). A swirl of flashbacks, memories, and hallucinations culminates in a dreamlike merging of identities that drives home the trilogy’s vision of a world in which traditional distinctions between good and evil have all but collapsed.
	Influenza Directed by Bong Joon Ho 2004 South Korea Duration: 27:58	Bong Joon Ho’s signature themes of violence and social struggle find disturbing expression in this audacious short, which tracks a man’s descent into a life of crime entirely through CCTV footage.
	INGENIVM NOBIS IPSA PVELLA FECIT, Part I Directed by Hollis Frampton 1975 United States Duration: 03:40	The sixty-seven minute VERNAL EQUINOX was a work originally intended to represent spring in Hollis Frampton’s seasonal film cycle SOLARIUMAGEANI (1974). He later repurposed the film, calling it INGENIVM NOBIS IPSA PVELLA FECIT and dividing it into thirteen sections to be shown during the phase Straits of Magellan; the opening part is presented here. According to avant-garde film historian P. Adams Sitney, the new title can be translated as ‘The Girl Herself Gave Us the Idea’ or ‘The Girl Herself Did the Trick for Us.’
	Ingmar Bergman Makes a Movie Directed by Vilgot Sjöman 1962 Sweden Duration: 2:26:54	The year is 1961 and Ingmar Bergman is making a movie. While planted on the scene as apprentice to Bergman, Vilgot Sjöman (director, I AM CURIOUS–YELLOW, 1967), and a crew from Swedish Television begin to capture what would become a comprehensive five-part documentary on the making of WINTER LIGHT.
	Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words Directed by Stig Björkman 2015 Sweden Duration: 1:54:13	Whether headlining films in Sweden, Italy, or Hollywood, Ingrid Bergman always pierced the screen with a singular soulfulness. With this new documentary, made on the occasion of the one hundredth anniversary of Bergman's birth, director Stig Björkman allows us unprecedented access to her world, culling from the most personal of archival materials, letters, diary entries, photographs, and 8 mm and 16 mm footage Bergman herself shot, and following her from youth to tumultuous married life and motherhood. Intimate and artful, this lovingly assembled portrait, narrated by actor Alicia Vikander, provides luminous insight into the life and career of an undiminished legend.
	In Heaven There Is No Beer? Directed by Les Blank 1984 United States Duration: 49:16	The life, culture and food of the polka culture in America today.
	The Inheritance Directed by Masaki Kobayashi 1962 Japan Duration: 1:48:00	On his deathbed, a wealthy businessman announces that his fortune is to be split equally among his three illegitimate children, whose whereabouts are unknown. A bevy of lawyers and associates begin machinations to procure the money for themselves, resorting to the use of impostors and blackmail. Yet all are outwitted by the cunning of the man's secretary (Keiko Kishi), in this entertaining condemnation of unchecked greed.
	Inherit the Wind Directed by Stanley Kramer Starring Spencer Tracy, Fredric March, Gene Kelly 1960 United States Duration: 2:07:59	One of the twentieth century’s most spectacular trials—the 1925 Scopes “Monkey” Trial, which pitted the theory of evolution against creationism in a battle over intellectual freedom—is vividly dramatized in this sterling adaptation of the classic Broadway play. When Southern schoolteacher Bertram Cates (Dick York) is put on trial for teaching evolution in a public school, famed attorney Henry Drummond (Spencer Tracy, playing a Clarence Darrow–like figure) steps in to defend him, going up against prosecutor Matthew Harrison Brady (Fredric March), who represents the forces of Christian fundamentalism, in a showdown that will captivate the nation.
	Inland Empire Directed by David Lynch Starring Laura Dern, Jeremy Irons, Justin Theroux 2006 United States Duration: 3:00:22	“Strange, what love does.” The role of a lifetime, a Hollywood mystery, a woman in trouble . . . David Lynch’s first digitally shot feature makes visionary use of the medium to weave a vast meditation on the enigmas of time, identity, and cinema itself. Featuring a tour-de-force performance from Laura Dern as an actor on the edge, this labyrinthine Dream Factory nightmare tumbles down an endless series of unfathomably interconnected rabbit holes as it takes viewers on a hallucinatory odyssey into the deepest realms of the unconscious mind.
	The Inland Sea Directed by Lucille Carra Starring Donald Richie 1991 United States Duration: 56:37	In 1971, author and film scholar Donald Richie published a poetic travelogue about his explorations of the islands of Japan’s Inland Sea, recording his search for traces of a traditional way of life as well as his own journey of self-discovery. Twenty years later, filmmaker Lucille Carra undertook a parallel trip inspired by Richie’s by-then-classic book, capturing images of hushed beauty and meeting people who still carried on the fading customs that Richie had observed. Interspersed with surprising detours—a visit to a Frank Sinatra–loving monk, a leper colony, an ersatz temple of plywood and plaster—and woven together by Richie’s narration as well as a score by celebrated composer Toru Takemitsu, THE INLAND SEA is an eye-opening voyage and a profound meditation on what it means to be a foreigner.
	An Inn in Tokyo Directed by Yasujiro Ozu 1935 Japan Duration: 1:20:41	The final still-extant silent film directed by Yasujiro Ozu is an exquisitely tender portrait of everyday survival in 1930s Japan. Anticipating the neorealist poetry of BICYCLE THIEVES, AN INN IN TOKYO follows unemployed ne’er-do-well Kihachi (Takeshi Sakamoto) and his young sons as they eke out an existence on the city’s margins, catching stray dogs for reward money and eventually becoming involved with a similarly impoverished woman and her daughter. With its simple yet elegant compositions and striking use of Tokyo’s industrial landscapes, this bittersweet slice-of-life tale represents a key work in the evolution of Ozu’s artistry.
	Innocence Unprotected Directed by Dušan Makavejev 1968 Yugoslavia Duration: 1:19:50	This utterly unclassifiable film is one of Makavejev's most freewheeling farces, assembled from the "lost" footage of the first Serbian talkie, a silly melodrama titled Innocence Unprotected, made during the Nazi occupation; contemporary interviews with the megaman who made it and other crew members; and images of the World War II destruction, and subsequent rebuilding, of Belgrade. And at its center is a (real-life) character you won't soon forget: Dragoljub Aleksic, an acrobat, locksmith, and Houdini-style escape artist whom Makavejev uses as the absurd and wondrous basis for a look back at his country's tumultuous recent history.
	Innocents Abroad Directed by Les Blank, Vikram Jayanti, and Chris Simon 1991 United States Duration: 1:24:21	Les Blank’s wit and warmth shine through this droll portrait of a busload of American tourists on a whirlwind tour of Europe that takes them to twenty-two cities in ten countries over the course of two weeks. Wryly touching on cultural stereotypes versus realities as well as the ethics of modern tourism, INNOCENTS ABROAD is a gently satirical but always human look at what happens when the Old and New Worlds collide.
	An Innocent Witch Directed by Heinosuke Gosho 1965 Japan Duration: 1:38:08	Heinosuke Gosho's darkest and most acclaimed film of the '60s, AN INNOCENT WITCH recounts the life of a young woman who is sold by her family into a brothel in a rural fishing village.
	In Paris Parks Directed by Shirley Clarke 1954 United States Duration: 13:47	An early work by director Shirley Clarke, this short film displays the dynamic movement of people (including Wendy Clarke, the director’s daughter) as they enter and exit parks in Paris. Observing how crowds flow through an urban setting, the film also features Clarke’ eloquent editing, as the rhythmic cuts develop a tempo that compliments the footage.
	The Insect Woman Directed by Shohei Imamura Starring Sachiko Hidari 1963 Japan Duration: 2:03:15	Born in a rural farming village in 1918, Tomé survives decades of Japanese social upheaval, as well as abuse and servitude at the hands of various men. Yet Shohei Imamura, ever the cinematic “entomologist,” refuses to make a victim of her, instead observing Tomé (played by the extraordinary Sachiko Hidari) as a fascinating, pragmatic creature of twentieth-century Japan. A portrait of opportunism and resilience in three generations of women, THE INSECT WOMAN is Imamura’s most expansive film, and Tomé his ultimate heroine.
	Insiang Directed by Lino Brocka Starring Hilda Koronel, Mona Lisa, Ruel Vernal 1976 Philippines Duration: 1:34:26	Directed by Lino Brocka • 1976 • Philippines Starring Hilda Koronel, Mona Lisa, Ruel Vernal Jealousy and violence take center stage in this claustrophobic melodrama, a tautly constructed character study set in the slums of Manila. Lino Brocka crafts an eviscerating portrait of an innocent daughter and her bitter mother as women scorned. Insiang leads a quiet life dominated by household duties, but after she is raped by her mother’s lover and abandoned by the young man who claims to care for her, she exacts vicious revenge. A savage commentary on the degradations of urban poverty, especially for women, INSIANG was the first Philippine film ever to play at Cannes. Restored by the Cineteca di Bologna/ L’Immagine Ritrovata. Restoration funded by The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project and the Film Development Council of the Philippines.
	Inside Llewyn Davis Directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen Starring Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake 2013 United States Duration: 1:44:53	The visionary chroniclers of eccentric Americana Joel and Ethan Coen present one of their greatest creations in Llewyn Davis, a singer barely eking out a living on the peripheries of the flourishing Greenwich Village folk scene of the early sixties. As embodied by Oscar Isaac in a revelatory performance, Llewyn (loosely modeled on the Village folk legend Dave Van Ronk) is extraordinarily talented but also irascible, rude, and self-defeating. His circular odyssey through an unforgiving winter cityscape, evocatively captured by cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel, is realized with poignant humor and the occasional surreal touch. Featuring a folk soundtrack curated by T Bone Burnett, INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS reminds us that in the Coens’ world, history isn’t necessarily written by the winners.
	Inside Women Inside Directed by Christine Choy and Cynthia Maurizio 1978 United States Duration: 20:58	Christine Choy and Cynthia Maurizio offer a rare look at the degradation faced by women in prison, interviewing women who suffer daily within a system that disregards their humanity and neglects their basic needs.
	Insignificance Directed by Nicolas Roeg Starring Theresa Russell, Gary Busey, Tony Curtis 1985 United Kingdom Duration: 1:48:54	Four unnamed people who look and sound a lot like Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, and Joseph McCarthy converge in one New York City hotel room in this compelling, visually inventive adaptation of Terry Johnson’s play, from director Nicolas Roeg. With a combination of whimsy and dread, Roeg creates a fun-house-mirror image of fifties America in order to reflect on the nature of celebrity and lingering cold-war nuclear nightmares. INSIGNIFICANCE is a delirious, intelligent drama, featuring magnetic performances by Michael Emil as the Professor, Theresa Russell as the Actress, Gary Busey as the Ballplayer, and Tony Curtis as the Senator.
	Insomnia Directed by Erik Skjoldbjærg Starring Stellan Skarsgård, Sverre Anker Ousdal, Bjørn Floberg 1997 Norway Duration: 1:36:23	In this elegantly unsettling murder mystery, Stellan Skarsgård plays an enigmatic Swedish detective with a checkered past who arrives in a small town in northern Norway to investigate the death of a teenage girl. As he digs deeper into the facts surrounding the heinous killing, his own demons and the tyrannical midnight sun begin to take a toll. The success of Erik Skjoldbjærg’s chilling procedural anticipated the international hunger for Scandinavian noirs and serial-killer fictions, and the film features one of Skarsgård’s greatest performances.
	In Space Directed by Visra Vichit-Vadakan Starring Don Castro, Vorapat Chutrvachirakul, Arunee Pattaphongse 2009 Thailand Duration: 16:44	A young monk slips between the realms of life and death to be reunited with his grandmother.
	Inspiration Directed by Karel Zeman 1949 Czechoslovakia Duration: 11:45	This early short from 1949 showcases the technical skill, wit, and creativity of director Karel Zeman.
	Intentions of Murder Directed by Shohei Imamura Starring Masumi Harukawa, Kô Nishimura, Shigeru Tsuyuguchi 1964 Japan Duration: 2:30:14	Sadako (Masumi Harukawa), cursed by generations before her and neglected by her common-law husband, falls prey to a brutal home intruder. But rather than become a victim, she forges a path to her own awakening. This disturbing and pitiless evocation of domestic drudgery and sexual violence is also a fascinating, unsentimental account of one woman’s determination. Filled with director Shohei Imamura’s characteristic flashbacks and dream sequences, INTENTIONS OF MURDER is a gripping, audacious portrait of a woman coming into her own in a man’s world.
	Interlude in the Marshland Directed by Jan Troell 1965 Sweden Duration: 30:24	In 1965, director Jan Troell took part in the film 4 X 4, which comprises four shorts, each from a different Nordic country. Troell’s Swedish entry, INTERLUDE IN THE MARSHLAND, starring Max von Sydow and produced and cowritten by Bengt Forslund, is based on a story by Eyvind Johnson, author of the novels that form the basis for HERE IS YOUR LIFE.
	Intermezzo Directed by Gustaf Molander 1936 Sweden Duration: 1:32:33	This gorgeous romantic confection, which catalogs a doomed love affair between a married violin virtuoso and a young pianist, is graced by a leading performance by Ingrid Bergman (her first), in a role created especially for her; a costarring turn by the legendary Swedish actor Gösta Ekman; and beautiful direction by Gustaf Molander. It was a defining part for Bergman, as it made her a star in Sweden and caught the eye of American producer David O. Selznick, who offered the young actor a Hollywood contract and the chance to remake INTERMEZZO in English with Leslie Howard.
	Intervista Directed by Federico Fellini Starring Sergio Rubini, Antonella Ponziani, Maurizio Mein 1987 Italy Duration: 1:47:46	Something of a late-career companion to 8½, Federico Fellini’s penultimate film is a similarly self-reflexive (and self-deprecating) journey through both the director’s dream life and his cinematic world—which are, here as always in Fellini’s work, inextricably entwined. In Rome to make a documentary about the great filmmaker, a Japanese camera crew follows Fellini on a tour through his longtime home studio of Cinecittà as the maestro’s memories and fantasies unfurl in a dizzying, dazzling, time-bending love letter to the art and spectacle of moviemaking. The film’s sprawling vision even makes room for an appearance by Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg who, in an unforgettable bit of movie magic, relive their iconic Trevi Fountain scene from LA DOLCE VITA, lent new poignancy by the tacit acknowledgement of time’s passing.
	Interview with Salvador Allende: Power and Reason Directed by Emidio Greco 1973 Italy Duration: 45:31	Roberto Rossellini interviews Chilean politician Salvador Allende.
	In the Folds of the Flesh Directed by Sergio Bergonzelli Starring Eleonora Rossi Drago, Fernando Sancho, Pier Angeli 1970 Italy Duration: 1:32:32	Nighttime. A peal of thunder. A severed head rolls across the carpeted floor. A blood-stained sword lies next to it. In an isolated castle by the sea, a murder has occurred. Meanwhile, police are in hot pursuit of a criminal who is evading capture on a speeding motorbike. He takes refuge in the overgrown castle grounds and he sees a pale woman burying a corpse in a shallow grave. Thirteen years later, after being recaptured and serving his sentence, the man returns to the castle, intent on blackmail—and maybe a few other things. One of the most deliriously out-there giallo thrillers ever made brings incest, madness, Etruscan skeletons, a Nazi death camp, and dueling divas Pier Angeli and Eleonora Rossi Drago together for a wild psychedelic nightmare that approaches the abstract.
	In the Mood for Love Directed by Wong Kar Wai Starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Maggie Cheung Man-yuk 2000 Hong Kong Duration: 1:39:06	Directed by Wong Kar Wai • 2000 • Hong Kong Starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Maggie Cheung Man-yuk Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formal and polite—until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, Wong Kar Wai’s IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. With its aching musical soundtrack and exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-bin, this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past decade of cinema, and is a milestone in Wong’s redoubtable career.
	In the Realm of the Senses Directed by Nagisa Oshima Starring Tatsuya Fuji, Eiko Matsuda 1976 Japan Duration: 1:42:23	IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES (AI NO CORRIDA), by the always provocative Japanese director Nagisa Oshima, remains one of the most controversial films of all time. Based on a true incident, it graphically depicts the all-consuming, transcendent—but ultimately destructive—love of a man and a woman (Tatsuya Fuji and Eiko Matsuda) living in an era of ever escalating imperialism and governmental control. Less a work of pornography than of politics, IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES is a brave, taboo-breaking milestone, still censored in its own country. WARNING: THIS FILM IS SEXUALLY EXPLICIT AND INCLUDES DEPICTIONS OF HARM AGAINST CHILDREN
	In the Rivers of Mercy Angst Directed by Ayoka Chenzira Starring Dilma, Thomas Pinnock, Olga M. Campbell 1997 United States Duration: 21:15	In this magical-realist tale, a woman fights to free herself from a malevolent spirit known as the Keeper of Memory.
	Intimate Lighting Directed by Ivan Passer Starring Zdenek Bezusek, Karel Blazek, Vera Kresadlová 1965 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:14:15	One of the most beloved films of the Czechoslovak New Wave, this digressive, easygoing slice of life takes place over the course of a weekend in a provincial town where a musician returns, along with his glamorous lover, to visit an old friend. Meandering and consistently surprising, INTIMATE LIGHTING skirts the demands of plot in favor of subtler shades of mood. The only feature that Ivan Passer (CUTTER’S WAY) directed before decamping to Hollywood along with his friend and collaborator Miloš Forman, it was banned for two decades by state censorship.
	Intimate Relations Directed by Philip Goodhew Starring Rupert Graves, Julie Walters, Laura Sadler 1996 United Kingdom Duration: 1:39:49	A most unusual love triangle takes shape in this diabolically dark comedy based on a shocking true crime. In a small town in 1950s England, sailor Harold Guppy (Rupert Graves) takes a room in the boardinghouse run by the prim-and-proper Mrs. Beasley (Julie Walters). But beneath the oh-so-respectable trimmings lurks a sordid reality as the hapless Harold finds himself ensnared between the amorous advances of both his landlady and her teenage daughter (Laura Sadler)—a precarious situation that gradually takes a treacherous turn.
	Intimidation Directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara 1960 Japan Duration: 1:05:48	Koreyoshi Kurahara's ingeniously plotted, pocket-size noir concerns the intertwined fates of a desperate bank manager, blackmailed for book-cooking, and his resentful but timid underling, passed over for a promotion. The marvelously moody Intimidation (Aru kyouhaku) is an elegantly stripped-down and carefully paced crime drama.
	In Vanda’s Room Directed by Pedro Costa 2000 Portugal Duration: 2:50:51	For the extraordinarily beautiful second film in his Fontainhas trilogy, Pedro Costa jettisoned his earlier films' larger crews to burrow even deeper into the Lisbon ghetto and the lives of its desperate inhabitants. With the intimate feel of a documentary and the texture of a Vermeer painting, IN VANDA'S ROOM takes an unflinching, fragmentary look at a handful of self-destructive, marginalized people, but is centered around the heroin-addicted Vanda Duarte. Costa presents the daily routines of Vanda and her neighbors with disarming matter-of-factness, and through his camera, individuals whom many would deem disposable become vivid and vital. This was Costa's first use of digital video, and the evocative images he created remain some of the medium's most astonishing.
	Invasion of Astro-Monster Directed by Ishiro Honda 1965 Japan Duration: 1:34:43	Aliens from Planet X make an irresistible offer to the people of Earth: let them borrow Godzilla and Rodan to help defeat King Ghidorah, and in return they will provide a cure for all known human disease. But the aliens’ duplicity is soon revealed, as they deploy all three monsters in their quest to conquer Earth. This retro romp, featuring American star Nick Adams, stands as a high point in the Showa Godzilla series.
	Invention for Destruction Directed by Karel Zeman Starring Lubor Tokoš, Arnošt Navrátil, František Šlégr 1958 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:23:01	This eye-popping escapade revolves around a scientist and his doomsday machine—and the pirates who will stop at nothing to gain possession of it. Freely adapting the fiction of Jules Verne, and inspired by Victorian line engravings, Karel Zeman surrounds his actors with animated scenery of breathtaking intricacy and complexity, constructing an impossibly vivid proto-steampunk world. Released abroad at the turn of the 1960s, INVENTION FOR DESTRUCTION went on to become one of the most internationally successful Czechoslovak films of all time.
	Invoking Justice Directed by Deepa Dhanraj 2011 India Duration: 1:26:30	In Southern India, many family disputes are settled by Jamaats—all-male bodies that apply Islamic Sharia law to cases without allowing women to be present, even to defend themselves. Recognizing this fundamental inequity, a group of women in 2004 established a women’s Jamaat, which soon became a network of 12,000 members spread over twelve districts. Despite enormous resistance, they have been able to settle more than 8,000 cases to date, ranging from divorce to domestic abuse to brutal murders and more. Award-winning filmmaker Deepa Dhanraj (SOMETHING LIKE A WAR) follows several such cases, shining a light on how the women’s Jamaat has acquired power through both communal education and the leaders’ persistent, tenacious, and compassionate investigation of the crimes.
	Involuntary Directed by Ruben Östlund Starring Villmar Björkman, Linnea Cart-Lamy, Leif Edlund 2008 Sweden Duration: 1:42:09	Ruben Östlund explores uneasy social dynamics through five darkly humorous, profoundly unsettlingly vignettes in his multichapter sophomore feature, which he has called “a tragic comedy or a comic tragedy.” From a party host too proud to treat a nasty fireworks injury to a teacher placed in the middle of an uncomfortable situation when she observes a colleague mistreating a student, INVOLUNTARY is a fearless expression of Östlund’s recurring interest in issues of public morality, codes of masculinity, and the tension between the individual and the group.
	In Which We Serve Directed by David Lean and Noël Coward Starring Noël Coward, Bernard Miles, John Mills 1942 United Kingdom Duration: 1:55:01	In the midst of World War II, the renowned playwright Noël Coward engaged a young film editor named David Lean to help him realize his vision for an action drama about a group of Royal Navy sailors (roles that would be filled by Coward himself, Bernard Miles, and John Mills, among others) fighting the Germans in the Mediterranean. Coward and Lean ended up codirecting the large-scale project—an impressive undertaking, especially considering that neither of them had directed for the big screen before (this would be Coward’s only such credit). Cutting between a major naval battle and flashbacks to the men’s lives before they left home, IN WHICH WE SERVE (an Oscar nominee for best picture) was a major breakthrough for both filmmakers and a sensitive and stirring piece of propaganda.
	I Remember: A Film About Joe Brainard Directed by Matt Wolf 2012 United States Duration: 24:40	Modesty, whimsy, and clarity of design grace the work of Joe Brainard, an artist and writer whose evocations of memory and desire perhaps found their greatest expression in his memoir-poem “I Remember.” Here, filmmaker Matt Wolf returns to this classic work, creating an archival montage that combines Brainard’s own readings with an interview with his lifelong friend and collaborator, the poet Ron Padgett. The result is an inventive biography of Brainard, and an elliptical dialogue about friendship, nostalgia, and the strange wonders of memory.
	Iris Directed by Hal Hartley Starring Parker Posey, Sabrina Lloyd 1994 United States Duration: 03:30	Parker Posey and Sabrina Lloyd star in an experimental short set to the titular song by the Breeders.
	Irma Vep Directed by Olivier Assayas Starring Maggie Cheung, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Nathalie Richard 1996 France Duration: 1:39:25	Olivier Assayas’s live-wire international breakthrough stars a magnetic Maggie Cheung as a version of herself: a Hong Kong action movie star who arrives in Paris to play the latex-clad lead in a remake of Louis Feuillade’s classic 1915 crime serial LES VAMPIRES. What she finds is a behind-the-scenes tangle of barely controlled chaos as egos clash, romantic attractions simmer, and an obsessive director (a cannily cast Jean-Pierre Léaud) drives himself to the brink to realize his vision. Blending blasts of silent cinema, martial arts flicks, and the music of Sonic Youth and Ali Farka Touré into a hallucinatory swirl of postmodern cool, Assayas composes a witty reflection on the nineties French film industry and the eternal tension between art and commercial entertainment.
	Ironfinger Directed by Jun Fukuda 1965 Japan Duration: 1:33:06	After being mistaken for an Interpol agent, a man who was just supposed to go on vacation gets mixed up in a war between two gangs intent on winning the favor of a notorious arms dealer.
	Irradiated Directed by Rithy Panh Starring André Wilms, Rebecca Marder, Bion 2020 Cambodia Duration: 1:32:06	Having spent his career examining the Cambodian genocide that claimed the lives of so many of his family members in acclaimed documentaries like THE MISSING PICTURE, director Rithy Panh turns his attention to the myriad atrocities that haunt twentieth-century history.

For two brothers, the daily struggles of bullies and mean teachers is nothing next to the mortification they feel when they realize their good-natured father's low-rung social status. Reworked decades later as Ozu's Technicolor comedy Good Morning, it's a poignant evocation of the tumult of childhood, as well as a showcase for Ozu's expertly timed comedy editing.

Who should emerge as the only possible savior but Dennis Cooper (Michael Palin), an endearingly witless bumpkin who stumbles onto the scene and is flung into the role of brave knight? Terry Gilliam’s first outing as a solo director—inspired by Lewis Carroll’s poem “Jabberwocky” and made following Gilliam’s success as a member of the iconic comedy troupe Monty Python—showcases his delight in comic nonsense, with a cast chock-full of beloved British character actors.

	Jacquot de Nantes Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Philippe Maron, Édouard Joubeaud, Laurent Monnier 1991 France Duration: 1:59:49	Agnès Varda’s tender evocation of the childhood of her husband, Jacques Demy—a dream project that she realized for him when he became too ill to direct it himself—is a wonder-filled portrait of the artist as a young man and an enchanting ode to the magic of cinema. Shot in Demy’s hometown of Nantes (including the house he grew up in), this imaginative blend of narrative and documentary traces his coming of age as he finds escape from the tumult of World War II in puppet shows, fairy tales, opera, and, above all, movies—the formative aesthetic experiences that would fuel his vivid Technicolor imagination and find unforgettable expression in his exuberant New Wave masterworks.

Made over the course of a year and motivated by Birkin’s fortieth birthday—a milestone she admits to some anxiety over—JANE B. PAR AGNÈS V. contrasts the private, reflective Birkin with Birkin the icon, as Varda casts her variously as a classical muse, a femme fatale, a Spanish dancer, Joan of Arc, and even a deadpan Laurel opposite a clownish Hardy in a fanciful slapstick spoof. Made in the spirit of pure, uninhibited play, this free-flowing dual portrait unfolds as a shared reverie between two women as they collapse the boundaries between artist and subject.

Recruiting a cast of nonactors and filming in sublime 16 mm CinemaScope, Reygadas explores the harsh beauty of the Mexican countryside with earthy tactility, conjuring a psychic landscape where religion mingles with sex, life coexists with death, and the animal and spiritual sides of human experience become indistinguishable. A work of soaring ambition and startling visual poetry, JAPÓN is an existential journey through uncharted cinematic territory that established the singular voice of its director.

In its enormous spareness, Akerman’s film seems simple, but it encompasses an entire world.

	Je tu il elle Directed by Chantal Akerman Starring Chantal Akerman, Niels Arestrup, Claire Wauthion 1975 Belgium Duration: 1:26:31	Chantal Akerman’s first narrative feature is a startlingly vulnerable exploration of alienation and the search for connection. In a performance at once daringly exposed and enigmatic, Akerman plays a young woman who, following a lengthy, self-imposed exile, ventures out into the world, where she has two very different experiences of intimacy: first with a truck driver (Niels Arestrup) who picks her up, and then with a female ex-lover (Claire Wauthion). Culminating in an audacious, real-time carnal encounter that brought lesbian sexuality to the screen with a new frankness, JE TU IL ELLE (“I You He She”) finds Akerman wielding her radical minimalism with a newfound emotional and psychological precision.
	Jigoku Directed by Nobuo Nakagawa Starring Shigeru Amachi, Utako Mitsuya, Yoichi Numata 1960 Japan Duration: 1:41:13	Shocking, outrageous, and poetic, JIGOKU (HELL, a.k.a. THE SINNERS OF HELL) is the most innovative creation from Nobuo Nakagawa, the father of the Japanese horror film. After a young theology student flees a hit-and-run accident, he is plagued by both his own guilt-ridden conscience and a mysterious, diabolical doppelgänger. But all possible escape routes lead straight to hell, literally. In the gloriously gory final third of the film, Nakagawa offers up his vision of the underworld in a tour de force of torture and degradation. A striking departure from traditional Japanese ghost stories, JIGOKU, with its truly eye-popping (and -gouging) imagery, created aftershocks that are still reverberating in contemporary world horror cinema.

In this visually dynamic documentary, veteran chronicler of the punk scene Julien Temple employs a collage-like approach to illuminate the many contradictory layers of Strummer’s identity, his complicated relationship to his bandmates and fame, and his post-Clash search for meaning. Featuring a wealth of archival footage and conversations with friends and collaborators like Bono, Flea, Mick Jones, and Martin Scorsese, JOE STRUMMER: THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN is a vivid, enthralling tribute to an icon who through it all remained fiercely committed to his DIY ideals.

In it, he stars as his lovable Tramp character, this time raising an orphan (a remarkable young Jackie Coogan) he has rescued from the streets. Chaplin and Coogan make a miraculous pair in this nimble marriage of sentiment and slapstick, a film that is, as its opening title card states, "a picture with a smile, and perhaps, a tear"

	Klute Directed by Alan J. Pakula Starring Jane Fonda, Donald Sutherland 1971 United States Duration: 1:54:13	With her Oscar-winning turn in KLUTE, Jane Fonda reinvented herself as a new kind of movie star.

	kore Directed by Tran, T. Kim-Trang 1994 United States Duration: 16:08	By focusing on the blindfold, KORE explores the eye as purveyor of desire, sexual fear, and the fantasy of blindness.

PAR AGNÈS V., KUNG-FU MASTER! is a true family affair, achieving a sense of of lived-in intimacy by casting the actor’s real-life relatives, including daughters Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon, as themselves. Varda and Birkin give the familiar theme of a misunderstood couple searching for a place where their love can survive a provocative twist in this daring romance, in which Birkin (who wrote the story that provided the inspiration for the film) plays a middle-aged woman involved with a fourteen-year-old, video game–obsessed boy (Varda’s son, Mathieu Demy). The taboo relationship plays out with supreme delicacy and restraint, as Varda transforms the explosive premise into a disarmingly tender portrait of a woman’s search for lost youth.

Often I have used a form close to surrealism in order to express a certain idea or thought.'
	Land of Milk and Honey Directed by Pierre Etaix 1971 France	Pierre Etaix's most radical film, and perhaps unsurprisingly the one that effectively ended his career in cinema, LAND OF MILK AND HONEY is a fascinating investigative documentary about post-May ’68 French society. In it, Etaix trains his discerning eye on idle summer vacationers, but the film has bigger fish to fry, asking pertinent questions about the sexualization of culture, class and gender inequality, media and advertising, and even architecture.
	The Land Directed by Youssef Chahine Starring Mahmoud el-Meliguy, Ezzat el-Alaili, Nagwa Ibrahim 1969 Egypt Duration: 2:15:29	Adapted from a classic novel by Abd al-Rahman Sharqawi, this howl of rage against social injustice is one of director Youssef Chahine’s most influential works, crowned by a career-best performance from its star Mahmoud el-Meliguy. Set in the early 1930s, THE LAND urgently portrays the struggle of rural peasants whose livelihood is threatened by a greedy landlord’s scheme to limit their water supply, showing both the power and limitations of resistance in the face of class exploitation. Composed in vivid, sensuous images and shot through with revolutionary fervor, this landmark of Arab cinema—the inaugural entry in Chahine’s so-dubbed Trilogy of Defeat—is a work of both immense humanism and searing political conviction, informed by the burning sensation of collective failure in the wake of the Six-Day War.
	Langlois Directed by Roberto Guerra and Eila Hershon Starring Henri Langlois 1970 United States Duration: 51:22	Henri Langlois, the legendary cofounder of the Cinémathèque Française, changed the course of cinema history with his passionate advocacy for film culture, helping incubate the artistic explosion of the French New Wave. When the French government attempted to close down the Cinémathèque in 1968, Langlois’s movie mecca became a rallying point for the student protest movement that would soon bring France to the brink of revolution—and shut down that year’s Cannes Film Festival. Made two years later, this documentary portrait follows Langlois around the streets of Paris and features interviews with Lilian Gish, Simone Signoret, Catherine Deneuve, Kenneth Anger, Viva, and more.
	Lan Yu Directed by Stanley Kwan Starring Liu Ye, Hu Jun, Huatong Li 2001 Hong Kong Duration: 1:26:54	Filmed in secret in Beijing, this tender gay romance by Stanley Kwan combines the timeless conventions of classic melodrama with a radically frank depiction of queer intimacy as it traces, over the course of years, the relationship between a wealthy businessman (Hu Jun) and a young architecture student (Liu Ye) as they come together, fall apart over the former’s fear of commitment, and gradually realize that they are fated to be together. Kwan’s expressive visuals and the sensitive lead performances yield a daring, deeply affecting love story that doubles as a haunting reflection on life in post-Mao China in the wake of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
	La prisonnière Directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot Starring Laurent Terzieff, Bernard Fresson, Elisabeth Wiener 1968 France Duration: 1:46:53	The final film by director Henri-Georges Clouzot was also his only complete feature in color, and he makes wildly psychedelic use of the medium to tell this kinky, kaleidoscopically stylized tale of modern art and sadomasochistic obsession. Josée (Elisabeth Wiener) is the wife of an artist whose work is exhibited in the gallery run by Stanislas Hassler (Laurent Terzieff). Stanislas, impotent and depraved, satisfies himself by photographing women in humiliating poses. Simultaneously shocked and fascinated, Josée finds herself drawn further and further into his world of perverse eroticism.
	Larisa Directed by Elem Klimov Starring Larisa Shepitko, Oleksandr Dovzhenko, Elem Klimov 1980 Soviet Union Duration: 21:00	Director Larisa Shepitko’s husband, Elem Klimov, made this short documentary a year after the death of his wife in 1979. Using footage from her films, including the last image she ever recorded, as well as voice recordings and photos, Klimov’s film is a loving tribute to his wife’s life and work.

Buhei Mukai (Rentaro Mikuni) is a successful Japanese movie director in his sixties who becomes increasingly ill while working on his latest film. Though his family, friends, and doctor try to keep the secret of his terminal cancer from him, Buhei gradually comes to realize the truth of his condition, leading him on a journey of despair, anger, and, ultimately, acceptance.
	The Last Detail Directed by Hal Ashby Starring Jack Nicholson, Randy Quaid, Otis Young 1973 United States Duration: 1:44:03	Starring Jack Nicholson, Randy Quaid, Otis Young Jack Nicholson is at his very best in this acclaimed tragicomedy written by Robert Towne and directed by Hal Ashby.

Buddusky and Mulhall take a liking to Meadows and are determined to show him a good time on their journey north. Once they reach their destination, though, Buddusky and Mulhall realize they are as much prisoners of their world as Meadows is of his.
	The Last Emperor Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci Starring John Lone, Joan Chen, Peter O'Toole 1987 China Duration: 2:43:12	Bernardo Bertolucci’s THE LAST EMPEROR won nine Academy Awards, unexpectedly sweeping every category in which it was nominated—quite a feat for a challenging, multilayered epic directed by an Italian and starring an international cast. Yet the power and scope of the film was, and remains, undeniable—the life of Emperor Pu Yi, who took the throne at age three, in 1908, before witnessing decades of cultural and political upheaval, within and without the walls of the Forbidden City. Recreating Ching dynasty China with astonishing detail and unparalleled craftsmanship by cinematographer Vittorio Storaro and production designer Ferdinando Scarfiotti, THE LAST EMPEROR is also an intimate character study of one man reconciling personal responsibility and political legacy.
	Last Holiday Directed by Henry Cass Starring Alec Guinness, Beatrice Campbell 1950 United Kingdom Duration: 1:29:18	Told by his doctor he has no more than a few months to live, drab British workingman George Bird (Alec Guinness) decides to spend his savings on lodging at a seaside resort. Once there, however, he finds his identity caught between upstairs and downstairs, the guests and the “help.” A droll social commentary as well as an unpredictable dark comedy about life, death, and luck, LAST HOLIDAY is one of Guinness’s finest moments.
	Last Hurrah for Chivalry Directed by John Woo Starring Damian Lau, Wei Pai 1979 Hong Kong Duration: 1:47:01	Before he became known as the master of the bullet-riddled heroic tragedy, John Woo sharpened his trademark themes and kinetic action choreography with this whirlwind wuxia spectacle. Unaware they are caught in a deadly game of deception, a pair of rambunctious swordsmen (Wai Pak and Damian Lau) join forces to help a nobleman (Lau Kong) in his quest for vengeance. Paying thrilling homage to his mentor, martial-arts innovator Chang Cheh, Woo delivers both bravura swordplay set pieces and a bloodstained interrogation of the meaning of brotherhood and honor in a world in which loyalty is bought and sold.
	The Last Metro Directed by François Truffaut Starring Gérard Depardieu, Catherine Deneuve, Jean Poiret 1980 France Duration: 2:11:52	Gérard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve star as members of a French theater company living under the German occupation during World War II in François Truffaut’s gripping, humanist character study. Against all odds—a Jewish theater manager in hiding; a leading man who’s in the Resistance; increasingly restrictive Nazi oversight—the troupe believes the show must go on. Equal parts romance, historical tragedy, and even comedy, THE LAST METRO (LE DERNIER MÉTRO) is Truffaut’s ultimate tribute to art overcoming adversity.
	The Last Picture Show Directed by Peter Bogdanovich Starring Timothy Bottoms, Jeff Bridges, Cybil Shepherd 1971 United States Duration: 2:06:39	THE LAST PICTURE SHOW is one of the key films of the American cinema renaissance of the seventies. Set during the early fifties, in the loneliest Texas nowheresville to ever dust up a movie screen, this aching portrait of a dying West, adapted from Larry McMurtry’s novel, focuses on the daily shuffles of three futureless teens—the enigmatic Sonny (Timothy Bottoms), the wayward jock Duane (Jeff Bridges), and the desperate-to-be-adored rich girl Jacy (Cybil Shepherd)—and the aging lost souls who bump up against them in the night like drifting tumbleweeds, including Cloris Leachman’s lonely housewife and Ben Johnson’s grizzled movie-house proprietor. Featuring evocative black-and-white imagery and profoundly felt performances, this hushed depiction of crumbling American values remains the pivotal film in the career of the invaluable director and film historian Peter Bogdanovich.
	Last Round Directed by Thomas Vinterberg Starring Thomas Bo Larsen, Ann Eleonora Jørgensen, Martin Brygmann 1993 Denmark Duration: 33:01	This Student Academy Award–nominated short film by future Dogme 95 revolutionary Thomas Vinterberg displays his facility for rendering the raw-nerve emotional extremes of the human experience.

	The Last Seduction Directed by John Dahl Starring Linda Fiorentino, Peter Berg, Bill Pullman 1994 United Kingdom Duration: 1:50:13	Linda Fiorentino is a diabolical delight as one of the most unrepentantly wicked femmes fatales of the neonoir boom in this deliciously entertaining thriller. After roping her doctor husband (Bill Pullman) into a deal to sell medicinal cocaine, beautiful but ruthless Bridget Gregory (Fiorentino) steals the profits and runs out on him. Soon enough, Bridget has another unsuspecting man (Peter Berg) in her grasp—and a devilish new scheme cooked up for him.

	Last Year at Marienbad Directed by Alain Resnais Starring Delphine Seyrig, Giorgio Albertazzi, Sacha Pitoëff 1961 France Duration: 1:34:45	Not just a defining work of the French New Wave but one of the great, lasting mysteries of modern art, Alain Resnais’ epochal LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD has been puzzling appreciative viewers for decades. Written by radical master of the New Novel Alain Robbe-Grillet, this surreal fever dream, or nightmare, gorgeously fuses the past with the present in telling its ambiguous tale of a man and a woman (Giorgio Albertazzi and Delphine Seyrig) who may or may not have met a year ago, perhaps at the very same cathedral-like, mirror-filled château they now find themselves wandering. Unforgettable in both its confounding details (gilded ceilings, diabolical parlor games, a loaded gun) and haunting scope, Resnais’ investigation into the nature of memory is disturbing, romantic, and maybe even a ghost story.
	Lata Directed by Alisha Tejpal Starring Shobha Dangale, Ananya Tuli, Kirti Kadam 2020 India Duration: 22:03	Through a succession of rigorously controlled compositions, the world of a young domestic worker (Shobha Dangle) in an upper-class Mumbai household gradually comes into focus—her day-to-day routines, her place within the social structure of the home, and, ultimately, her quiet strength. Probing issues of caste and class with a penetrating, uniquely cinematic eye, director Alisha Tejpal makes visible the lives and labor that so often remain outside the frame.
	Late August, Early September Directed by Olivier Assayas Starring Mathieu Amalric, Virginie Ledoyen, François Cluzet 1998 France Duration: 1:52:24	Having chronicled the heady abandon of adolescence in COLD WATER, renowned French auteur Olivier Assayas turned his attention to another in-between stage of life: the moment when the seemingly endless possibilities of young adulthood begin to give way to the anxieties of middle age. A cast of Gallic luminaries—including Mathieu Amalric, Jeanne Balibar, Virginie Ledoyen, Alex Descas, and future director Mia Hansen-Løve (in her film debut)—play a coterie of friends and lovers swirling around the Parisian publishing industry whose romantic, professional, and personal crises are amplified when one of their companions, a neglected novelist (François Cluzet), falls seriously ill. Unfolding in a handheld-shot rush of richly impressionistic images and set to the seductive rhythms of Ali Farka Touré, LATE AUGUST, EARLY SEPTEMBER masterfully charts the delicate shifts in relationships that occur as subtly and inexorably as the changing of the seasons.
	Late Autumn Directed by Yasujiro Ozu 1960 Japan Duration: 2:08:50	The great actress and Ozu regular Setsuko Hara plays a mother gently trying to persuade her daughter to marry in this glowing portrait of family love and conflict; a reworking of Ozu's 1949 masterpiece Late Spring.
	Late Chrysanthemums Directed by Mikio Naruse Starring Haruko Sugimura, Ken Uehara, Sadako Sawamura 1954 Japan Duration: 1:41:33	Suffused with the sense of autumnal melancholy and nostalgia that its title suggests, LATE CHRYSANTHEMUMS is one of director Mikio Naruse’s most perfectly realized works. In a rare starring role, the great Haruko Sugimura (FLOATING WEEDS, TOKYO STORY) portrays Kin, a former geisha who has parlayed her earnings from her erstwhile profession into work as a moneylender; but most of her clients are ex-colleagues of hers, and their lives are not what they once were, nor do any of them have much real chance for happiness. As in many of Naruse’s films, the focus is on the heartbreaking limitations of women’s lives as they see their opportunities constricted by the inexorable passage of time.
	Late Spring Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Starring Chishu Ryu, Setsuko Hara, Yumeji Tsukioka 1949 Japan Duration: 1:48:17	One of the most powerful of Yasujiro Ozu’s family portraits, LATE SPRING (BANSHUN) tells the story of a widowed father who feels compelled to marry off his beloved only daughter. Eminent Ozu players Chishu Ryu and Setsuko Hara command this poignant tale of love and loss in postwar Japan, which remains as potent today as ever, and a strong justification for its maker’s inclusion in the pantheon of cinema’s greatest directors.

Under the spell of the beautiful Laura’s portrait, the detective (Dana Andrews) investigating the crime finds himself falling in love with the dead woman—until a shocking revelation upends the case entirely. Clifton Webb steals scene after scene as the acid-tongued newspaper columnist Waldo Lydecker, while David Raksin’s haunting score yielded the hit title song.

When his experiments on animals fail, he finds the ideal substitute: Jobe Smith (Jeff Fahey), a slow-witted gardener. Dr. Angelo’s goal is to benefit his human guinea pig and ultimately mankind itself, but evil lurks in the guise of “the Shop,” a shadowy group that seeks to use the technology to create an invincible war machine. When the experiments change the simple Jobe into a superhuman being, the stage is set for a Jekyll-and-Hyde struggle for the control of Jobe’s mind and the future of the world.
	Law of the Border Directed by Lütfi Ö. Akad Starring Yılmaz Güney 1966 Turkey Duration: 1:16:54	Directed by Lütfi Ö Akad • 1966 • Turkey Starring Yılmaz Güney Set along the Turkish-Syrian frontier, this terse, elemental tale of smugglers contending with a changing social landscape brought together two giants of Turkish cinema. Director Lütfi Ö. Akad had already made some of his country’s most notable films when he was approached by Yılmaz Güney—a rising action star who would become Turkey’s most important and controversial filmmaker—to collaborate on this neo-western about a quiet man who finds himself pitted against his fellow outlaws. Combining documentary authenticity with a tough, lean poetry, LAW OF THE BORDER transformed the nation’s cinema forever—even though it was virtually impossible to see for many years. Restored in 2013 by the Cineteca di Bologna/L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory, in association with The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project, Dadaş Films, and the Turkish Ministry of Culture. Restoration funded by Doha Film Institute.

A delightful cast of British all-stars, including Richard Attenborough, Bryan Forbes, and Roger Livesey, brings to life this precisely calibrated caper, which was immensely popular and influenced countless Hollywood heist films.
	Learning to Live Together: The Return of Mad Dogs & Englishmen Directed by Jesse Lauter 2021 United States Duration: 1:51:17	In 1970, Joe Cocker undertook what became a storied musical experiment—a traveling rock ’n’ roll commune that crisscrossed the country on a private jet. This meteoric tour came and went over a magical two months, and as a one-time-only experience it developed a mythical status among music fans. Fifty years later, filmmaker Jesse Lauter tells the complete story through the lens of the Tedeschi Trucks Band’s reunion of the Mad Dogs, featuring several of the original members (including Leon Russell) along with a host of special guests. What begins as a simple reunion evolves into a raw and revealing portrait of an expansive group of musicians who individually and collectively made indelible marks on music history.

	Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Delights Directed by Jean Eustache 1981 France Duration: 35:22	The French television series “Les enthousiastes” asked art aficionados to offer their thoughts on, and interpretations of, paintings that they themselves selected. For Jean Eustache’s episode, Jean-Noël Picq (of A DIRTY STORY) chose the third panel of Hieronymus Bosch’s triptych “The Garden of Earthly Delights,” an apocalyptic nightmare-scape that anticipated the darkest reaches of surrealism by almost four hundred years. Looking beyond its obvious grotesqueries, Picq points out several notable qualities of Bosch’s masterwork, including its near absence of perspective, its conflation of ontological categories (human and animal, living and dead, time and space), and its objective depiction of sadomasochistic pleasure.
	Lemon Directed by Hollis Frampton 1969 United States Duration: 05:14	LEMON was often exhibited as an installation in museums and galleries, where it would play on a continuous loop.
	Leningrad Cowboys Go America Directed by Aki Kaurismäki 1989 Finland Duration: 1:19:14	A struggling Siberian rock band leaves the lonely tundra to tour the United States because, as they're told, "they'll buy anything there." Aki Kaurismäki's winningly aloof farce follows the musicians as they bravely make their way across the New World, carrying a bandmate (and some beer) in a coffin and sporting hairdos that resemble unicorn horns. LENINGRAD COWBOYS GO AMERICA was such a sensation that it brought the fictional band a major real-life following.
	Leningrad Cowboys Meet Moses Directed by Aki Kaurismäki 1994 Finland Duration: 1:34:10	Living in Mexico with a top-ten hit under their belts, the Leningrad Cowboys have fallen on hard times.

Like its predecessor, LENINGRAD COWBOYS GO AMERICA, LENINGRAD COWBOYS MEET MOSES is a road movie, the humorous hardships this time coming from the rocky terrain of the new Europe.
	Léon Morin, Priest Directed by Jean-Pierre Melville Starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, Emmanuelle Riva 1961 France Duration: 2:08:45	Jean-Paul Belmondo delivers a subtly sensual performance in the hot-under-the-collar LÉON MORIN, PRIEST, directed by Jean-Pierre Melville. The French superstar plays a devoted man of the cloth who is desired by all the women of a small village in Nazi-occupied France. He finds himself most drawn to a sexually frustrated widow—played by Emmanuelle Riva—a religious skeptic whose relationship with her confessor turns into a confrontation with both God and her own repressed desire. A triumph of mood, setting, and innuendo, LÉON MORIN, PRIEST is an irreverent pleasure from one of French cinema’s towering virtuosos.
	Robinson’s Place Directed by Jean Eustache 1963 France Duration: 39:42	Jean Eustache’s first completed narrative short, a portrait of emotionally immature men on the prowl for female companionship, cemented the template for his subsequent fictions. Aristide Demonico and Daniel Bart play Parisian friends who try to pick up the same young woman (Dominique Jayr). The two men’s competitive barbs and repeated failures in flirtation lead them to band together for petty revenge against their prospective conquest. In the space of forty minutes, Eustache delineates the parameters of his moral universe, in which characters fool themselves into believing that life is completely defined by romantic prowess.

She meets a young boy, Malik, who appears to speak her language.
	Letter from Siberia Directed by Chris Marker 1957 France Duration: 1:01:00	This early feature from Chris Marker is a key touchstone in the evolution of his distinctive essayistic style, in which he combines footage shot in the barren reaches of Siberia with his typically idiosyncratic musings. Animated mammoths, a humorous comparison of communist and capitalist values, and even a “commercial” for reindeer all feature in this alternately witty and philosophical travelogue that reveals as much about the history and culture of its subject as it does about the inner workings of its maker’s mind.
	Letter From Your Far-Off Country Directed by Suneil Sanzgiri 2020 United States Duration: 17:45	Shot with 16 mm film stock that expired in 2002—the same year as the state-sponsored anti-Muslim genocide in Gujarat—and filmed amid the anti–Citizenship Amendment Act protests in Delhi, LETTER FROM YOUR FAR-OFF COUNTRY finds filmmaker Suneil Sanzgiri tracing lines and lineages of ancestral memory, poetry, history, songs, and ruins from his birth in 1989.
	Letter Never Sent Directed by Mikhail Kalatozov Starring Tatiana Samoilova, Innokenti Smoktunovsky, Galina Kozhakina 1959 Soviet Union Duration: 1:36:19	The great Soviet director Mikhail Kalatozov, known for his virtuosic, emotionally gripping films, perhaps never made a more visually astonishing one than LETTER NEVER SENT. This absorbing tale of exploration and survival concerns the four members of a geological expedition, who are stranded in the bleak and unforgiving Siberian wilderness while on a mission to find diamonds. Luxuriating in wide-angle beauty and featuring one daring shot after another (the brilliant cinematography is by Kalatozov’s frequent collaborator Sergei Urusevsky), LETTER NEVER SENT is a fascinating piece of cinematic history and a universal adventure of the highest order.
	Letter to Jane Directed by Jean-Luc Godard and Jean-Pierre Gorin 1972 France Duration: 52:32	Soon after completing TOUT VA BIEN, actor Jane Fonda returned to her political activism and visited North Vietnam. The appearance of the “Hanoi Jane” photograph in the French magazine “L’Express” inspired filmmakers Jean-Pierre Gorin and Jean-Luc Godard to create the following investigative film, LETTER TO JANE (1972).
	Let Joy Reign Supreme Directed by Bertrand Tavernier Starring Philippe Noiret, Jean Rochefort, Jean-Pierre Marielle 1975 France Duration: 1:59:51	The ironically titled second feature by Bertrand Tavernier is an extraordinarily detailed, thrillingly alive evocation of eighteenth-century France during the regency of Philippe d’Orléans (Philippe Noiret), who ruled on behalf of the young Louis XV following the death of his great-grandfather, Louis XIV. A decadent and ineffectual ruler, Philippe presides over a court rocked by political intrigue and social upheavals that in many ways laid the foundation for the explosion of the French Revolution.
	Let There Be Light Directed by John Huston 1946 United States Duration: 58:11	This groundbreaking, long-suppressed look at the effects of war on returning veterans was among the first films to tackle the issue of post-traumatic stress disorder (or as it was then called, “shell shock” or “battle fatigue”). Shot at Mason General Hospital in Brentwood, Long Island, at the end of World War II, LET THERE BE LIGHT follows seventy-five former soldiers suffering debilitating psychological trauma who, in the film’s most dramatic scenes, are given sodium pentothal to recall their horrific experiences in the war. Considered too disturbing and controversial for exhibition, this landmark documentary was suppressed by the military for decades until it finally premiered in New York in 1980.
	Let the Sunshine In Directed by Claire Denis Starring Juliette Binoche, Xavier Beauvois, Philippe Katerine 2017 France Duration: 1:35:22	Two luminaries of French cinema, Claire Denis and Juliette Binoche, unite for the first time in this piercing look at the elusive nature of true love, and the extent to which we are willing to betray ourselves in its pursuit. In a richly layered performance, Binoche plays Isabelle, a successful painter in Paris whose apparent independence belies what she desires most: real romantic fulfillment. Isabelle reveals deep wells of yearning, vulnerability, and resilience as she tumbles into relationships with all the wrong men. Shot in burnished tones by Denis’s longtime collaborator Agnès Godard and featuring a mischievous appearance by Gérard Depardieu, Let the Sunshine In finds bleak humor in a cutting truth: we are all, no matter our age, fools for love.
	Lettres d’amour Directed by Claude Autant-Lara 1942 France Duration: 1:32:08	A deceptive lightness distinguishes this farcical second feature made by Claude Autant-Lara while Germany occupied France. During the reign of Napoléon III, a plucky businesswoman (Odette Joyeux) agrees to receive love letters to a prefect's wife from a young official, and soon finds herself embroiled in a scandal that inflames a town's class tensions. A transporting period piece with ornate costumes by Christian Dior, LETTRES D'AMOUR paints a blithely pointed portrait of life in a highly stratified society.
	Liberian Boy Directed by Mati Diop and Manon Lutanie Starring Jules Langlade 2015 France Duration: 04:26	A boy channels his inner Michael Jackson in this experimental dance film set to a pulsing electro-pop beat.
	The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger Starring Roger Livesey, Anton Walbrook, Deborah Kerr 1943 United Kingdom Duration: 2:44:20	Considered by many to be the finest British film ever made, THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP, by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, is a stirring masterpiece like no other. Roger Livesey dynamically embodies outmoded English militarism as the indelible General Clive Candy, who barely survives four decades of tumultuous British history, 1902 to 1942, only to see the world change irrevocably before his eyes. Anton Walbrook and Deborah Kerr provide unforgettable support, he as a German enemy turned lifelong friend of Candy’s and she as young women of three consecutive generations, a socially committed governess, a sweet-souled war nurse, and a modern-thinking army driver, who inspire him. COLONEL BLIMP is both moving and slyly satirical, an incomparable film about war, love, aging, and obsolescence, shot in gorgeous Technicolor.
	Life During Wartime Directed by Todd Solondz Starring Ally Sheedy, Allison Janney, Ciarán Hinds 2010 United States Duration: 1:37:39	In LIFE DURING WARTIME, independent filmmaker Todd Solondz explores contemporary American existence and the nature of forgiveness with his customary dry humor and queasy precision. The film functions as a distorted mirror image of Solondz’s acclaimed 1998 dark comedy HAPPINESS, its emotionally stunted characters now groping for the possibility of change in a post-9/11 world. HAPPINESS’s grim New Jersey setting is transposed mainly to sunny Florida, but the biggest twist is that new actors fill the roles from the earlier film—including Shirley Henderson, Allison Janney, and Ally Sheedy as alarmingly dissimilar sisters, and Ciarán Hinds hauntingly embodying a reformed pedophile. Shot in expressionistic tones by cinematographer extraordinaire Ed Lachman, Solondz’s film finds the humor in the tragic and the tragic in the everyday.
	Lifeforce Directed by Tobe Hooper Starring Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Patrick Stewart 1985 United Kingdom Duration: 1:56:16	A mind-scrambling alien-zombie-vampire sextravaganza unlike any other horror film of the 1980s, this wildly out-there sci-fi spectacle from THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE director Tobe Hooper flopped on its release but has since been embraced by cult aficionados for its sheer lunatic audacity. When a crew of American and British astronauts discover three humanoid extraterrestrials slumbering inside a spaceship within the tail of Halley’s Comet, they unwittingly unleash apocalypse as the trio’s kinky vampiric leader (Mathilda May) sets out to destroy mankind by seducing humans and draining them of their essence.
	Life Is Cheap . . . But Toilet Paper Is Expensive Directed by Wayne Wang Starring Victor Wong, Lo Lieh, Lo Wei 1989 United States Duration: 1:25:12	Exploding a seemingly simple premise—a nameless “cowboy” courier (Spencer Nakasako) arrives in Hong Kong to deliver a mysterious briefcase to a mercurial mob boss and becomes entangled with his femme fatale mistress (Cora Miao)—this long-unavailable triumph from Wayne Wang barrels through inspired genre deconstruction, guerrilla docu-fiction, and fierce political jeremiad, all with a keen sense of humor and a rich visual palette. Tracking the courier’s increasingly byzantine mission across every level of the city’s social strata, Wang introduces us to cabdrivers, hustlers, butchers, and more—each punctuating the high-octane neonoir narrative with instantly memorable monologues that capture a now-distant era in Hong Kong history.
	Life Is Sweet Directed by Mike Leigh Starring Claire Skinner, Jane Horrocks, Jim Broadbent 1990 United Kingdom Duration: 1:43:34	This invigorating film from Mike Leigh was his first international sensation. Melancholy and funny by turns, it is an intimate portrait of a working-class family in a suburb just north of London—an irrepressible mum and dad (Alison Steadman and Jim Broadbent) and their night-and-day twins, a bookish good girl and a troubled, ill-tempered layabout (Claire Skinner and Jane Horrocks). Leigh and his typically brilliant cast create, with extraordinary sensitivity and craft, a vivid, lived-in story of ordinary existence, in which even modest dreams—such as the father’s desire to open a food truck—carry enormous weight.
	The Life of Oharu Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi Starring Kinuyo Tanaka, Toshiro Mifune, Masao Shimizu 1952 Japan Duration: 2:16:54	A peerless chronicler of the soul who specialized in supremely emotional, visually exquisite films about the circumstances of women in Japanese society, Kenji Mizoguchi had already been directing movies for decades when he made THE LIFE OF OHARU in 1952. But this epic portrait of an inexorable fall from grace, starring the astounding Kinuyo Tanaka as an imperial lady-in-waiting who gradually descends to street prostitution, was the movie that gained the director international attention, ushering in a new golden period for him.
	Life on the CAPS: Parts 1&2 Directed by Meriem Bennani 2018 Morocco Duration: 41:39	Meriem Bennani conjures an immersive augmented-reality world in the first two parts of a trilogy that issues a wild, up-to-the-minute commentary on diasporic cultures and the West’s dystopian immigration policies. A talking crocodile named Fiona acts as our guide though the CAPS, an island refugee camp in a future where teleportation has replaced airplanes.
	Life Without Dreams Directed by Jessica Bardsley 2022 United States Duration: 13:20	LIFE WITHOUT DREAMS is set in the outer space of consciousness, where the surfaces of far-out planetary bodies form the terrain for an exploration of 24/7 capitalism, insomnia, and the disappearance of darkness due to light pollution.
	Lightning Over Water Directed by Wim Wenders and Nicholas Ray Starring Wim Wenders, Nicholas Ray, Susan Ray 1980 West Germany Duration: 1:31:30	Wim Wenders’s collaboration with legendary Hollywood iconoclast Nicholas Ray (THEY LIVE BY NIGHT, REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE) is an unclassifiable fusion of personal documentary, film-within-a-film metacinema, and almost unbearably intimate meditation on mortality. Made during the last months of Ray’s life as he was dying of cancer, LIGHTNING OVER WATER follows the two filmmakers as they set out to make a narrative film together—a project increasingly threatened by the older director’s failing health and by Wenders’s own ethical crisis over turning his camera on a dying man.
	The Lights Are On, No One’s Home Directed by Faye Ruiz Starring Faye Ruiz, Adriana Acedo-Campillo, Grisel Wilson 2021 United States Duration: 10:27	Mar, a young trans woman, returns to her childhood home.

LeTour reencounters an old flame (Dana Delany) and glimpses the prospect of salvation, but soon he’s involved in a murder investigation that threatens to smother his future. Building on the themes of TAXI DRIVER and AMERICAN GIGOLO, LIGHT SLEEPER confirms Paul Schrader’s reputation as American cinema’s poet laureate of urban isolation.
	Like Flying Directed by Peier Tracy Shen Starring Chedi Chang, Zita Bai, Grace Chang, Gary Liu 2020 United States Duration: 15:06	A young Chinese American girl’s carefree innocence collides with the harsh reality of her parents’ broken relationship.
	Lilies Directed by John Greyson Starring Brent Carver, Marcel Sabourin, Aubert Pallascio 1996 Canada Duration: 1:36:32	A visually intoxicating queer rhapsody of desire and repression, revenge and redemption unfolds as a deliriously stylized play-within-a-film in this sumptuous cinematic pageant adapted from the stage work by Michel Marc Bouchard. In a Quebec prison in 1952, an aging priest (Marcel Sabourin) sits down to hear the confession of a convict (Aubert Pallascio)—only to have the tables turned on him as the prisoner, aided by his fellow inmates, stages a time- and space-collapsing play that takes them both back to 1912, when they were young men engaged in a tragic love triangle with another boy (Danny Gilmore). Described by director John Greyson as a “strange, Genet-inflected-via-Fellini fable,” this entrancingly beautiful, gender-bending fantasia stands as one of the rapturous peaks of the New Queer Cinema.
	Lillehammer ’94: 16 Days of Glory Directed by Bud Greenspan 1994 United States Duration: 3:29:30	Since television coverage of the Olympic Games had almost reached saturation point, Bud Greenspan made LILLEHAMMER '94: 16 DAYS OF GLORY to dwell more exclusively on personalities and champions rather than events.
	Lime Kiln Club Field Day archival assembly (Donald Sosin score) Directed by Edwin Middleton and T. Hayes Hunter Starring Bert Williams, Odessa Warren Grey 1913 United States Duration: 1:02:44	The oldest known surviving film starring an entirely Black cast, this unfinished 1913 romantic comedy—the footage of which was miraculously recovered from the vaults of the bankrupt Biograph film studio, alongside outtakes and a trove of still images from the production—stars legendary Bahamian-American vaudeville performer Bert Williams as a dandy competing with two rivals for the love of a woman (played by Harlem entrepreneur and actress Odessa Warren Grey). Williams—wearing blackface makeup in a concession to entertainment standards of the day—proves to be a leading man of striking depth, blending impressive slapstick gifts with emotional range. Reconstructed by the Museum of Modern Art from the extant fragments, LIME KILN CLUB FIELD DAY is a remarkable living vision of Black love, joy, and comic creativity.

	Limelight Directed by Charles Chaplin Starring Charles Chaplin, Claire Bloom, Nigel Bruce 1952 United States Duration: 2:17:48	Directed by Charles Chaplin • 1952 • United States Starring Charles Chaplin, Claire Bloom, Nigel Bruce Charlie Chaplin’s masterful drama about the twilight of a former vaudeville star is among the writer-director’s most touching films. Chaplin plays Calvero, a once beloved musical-comedy performer, now a washed-up alcoholic who lives in a small London flat. A glimmer of hope arrives when he meets a beautiful but melancholy ballerina (Claire Bloom) who lives downstairs. An elegant mix of the comic and the tragic, this poignant movie also features Buster Keaton in an extended cameo, marking the only time the two silent comedy icons appeared in a film together. Made at a time when Chaplin was under attack by the American press and far right, LIMELIGHT was scarcely distributed in the United States upon its initial release, but it is now considered one of his essential and most personal works.
	Limite Directed by Mário Peixoto Starring Olga Breno, Taciana Rei, Carmen Santos 1931 Brazil Duration: 1:58:22	Directed by Mário Peixoto • 1931 • Brazil Starring Olga Breno, Taciana Rei, Carmen Santos An astonishing creation, LIMITE is the only feature by the Brazilian director and author Mário Peixoto, made when he was just twenty-two years old. Inspired by a haunting André Kertész photograph on the cover of a French magazine, this avant-garde silent masterpiece centers on a man and two women lost at sea, their pasts unfolding through flashbacks propelled by the music of Erik Satie, Claude Debussy, Igor Stravinsky, and others. An early work of independent Latin American filmmaking, LIMITE was famously difficult to see for most of the twentieth century. It is a pioneering achievement that continues to captivate with its timeless visual poetry. Restored in 2010 by the Cinemateca Brasileira and the Cineteca di Bologna/L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory, in association with The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project, Arquivo Mario Peixoto, Saulo Pereira de Mello, and Walter Salles. Restoration funded by Armani, Cartier, Qatar Airways, and Qatar Museum Authority.
	Lingua Franca Directed by Isabel Sandoval Starring Isabel Sandoval, Lynn Cohen, Eamon Farren 2019 Philippines Duration: 1:34:24	This poignant human drama from acclaimed writer-director-star Isabel Sandoval follows Olivia (Sandoval), an undocumented Filipina trans woman, after she has secured a job as a live-in caregiver for Olga (Lynn Cohen), an elderly Russian woman in Brooklyn’s Brighton Beach neighborhood.

But when she unexpectedly becomes romantically involved with Olga’s adult grandson Alex (Eamon Farren), issues around identity, civil rights, and immigration threaten her very existence.
	The Innocent Directed by Louis Garrel Starring Louis Garrel, Roschdy Zem, Noémie Merlant 2022 France Duration: 1:38:41	Part crime thriller, part family farce, Louis Garrel’s THE INNOCENT shows the dangerous lengths two men go to, and the outlandish lies they tell, for the women they love. Garrel stars as Abel, a museum educator and widower whose mother, Sylvie (Anouk Grinberg), marries Michel (Roschdy Zem), one of her drama pupils in the local penitentiary. Once on parole, Michel attempts to start a legitimate life for Sylvie’s sake but soon reverts to his old ways, with the suspicious Abel continually—and ineptly—spying on his stepfather until roped into one of the ex-con’s schemes. Complicating matters is Clémence (Noémie Merlant), the brazen coworker who convinces Abel to break out of his emotional and romantic shell by taking part in Michel’s planned heist. Directing from his own screenplay (as cowritten by Tanguy Viel and Naïla Guiguet), Garrel explores the comedic results of playacting’s intrusion into real life, as well as real life’s comedic tendency to transform us into what we never thought we could be, but perhaps always were. “Sly and wonderful . . . Few caper comedies have this much heart, and few romantic dramas offer such an appealingly nutty plot.” —Kyle Smith, The Wall Street Journal “A humanistic story wrapped in a fun, punchy exterior . . . A light, enjoyable confection of a film.” —Claire Shaffer, The New York Times “A witty and elegantly constructed film that joyfully draws parallels between acting and lying, being and pretending, while remaining breezy, fun, eminently accessible, and even welcoming.” —Elena Lazic, The Playlist
	The Lion Has Wings Directed by Adrian Brunel, Brian Desmond Hurst, and Michael Powell 1939 United Kingdom Duration: 1:16:01	This early, influential propaganda film blends documentary and studio footage to show the valiant efforts of the Royal Air Force to defend the British people against the Nazi invasion.

LIONS LOVE (...AND LIES) is a metacinematic inquiry into the alternating currents of whimsy and tragedy that typified late-sixties America. Restored by the Cineteca di Bologna at L’Immagine Ritrovata in association with Ciné-Tamaris and The Film Foundation.

	Liquid Sky Directed by Slava Tsukerman Starring Anne Carlisle, Paula E. Sheppard, Susan Doukas 1982 United States Duration: 1:52:49	One of the coolest and most outrageously stylish oddities to emanate from the 1980s indie underground is a postpunk science-fiction fantasia set in New York’s zonked-out bohemian demimonde. It’s there that Margaret (Anne Carlisle), a disaffected bisexual model and performance artist living in a neon-lit New Wave penthouse, pursues the highs of heroin and sex with hedonistic abandon. Unbeknownst to her, a pair of tiny, shapeless aliens have landed their saucer on her rooftop to feast off the dopamine-charged neurochemical fruits of her fellow scensters’ narcotic and sexual ecstasy.

	The Living Magoroku Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita 1943 Japan Duration: 1:29:18	A superstitious farming family is hesitant to use its fields to grow crops to help feed the nation's troops. Keisuke Kinoshita's rural drama was made to promote the war effort, but his story branches off in many directions, including one subplot about the family's heirloom samurai sword and another about a blossoming young romance.
	The Living Skeleton Directed by Hiroshi Matsuno 1968 Japan Duration: 1:20:26	In this atmospheric tale of revenge from beyond the watery grave, a pirate-ransacked freighter's violent past comes back to haunt a young woman living in a seaside town.

	Lola Directed by Jacques Demy Starring Anouk Aimée, Marc Michel 1961 France Duration: 1:28:45	Jacques Demy’s crystalline debut gave birth to the fictional universe in which so many of his characters would live, play, and love. It’s among his most profoundly felt films, a tale of crisscrossing lives in Nantes (Demy’s hometown) that floats on waves of longing and desire. Heading the film’s ensemble is the enchanting Anouk Aimée as the title character, a cabaret chanteuse who’s awaiting the return of a long-lost lover and unwilling to entertain the adoration of another love-struck soul, the wanderer Roland (Marc Michel). Humane, wistful, and witty, LOLA is a testament to the resilience of the heartbroken.

Pitting a corrupt building contractor (Mario Adorf) against the new straight-arrow building commissioner (Armin Mueller-Stahl), Lola launches an outrageous plan to elevate herself in a world where everything—and everyone—is for sale. Shot in childlike candy colors, Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s LOLA, an homage to Josef von Sternberg’s classic THE BLUE ANGEL, is a wonderfully satirical tribute to capitalism.
	Lola Montès Directed by Max Ophuls Starring Martine Carol, Peter Ustinov 1955 Germany Duration: 1:55:36	LOLA MONTÈS is a visually ravishing, narratively daring dramatization of the life of the notorious courtesan and showgirl, played by Martine Carol. With his customary cinematographic flourish and, for the first time, vibrant color, Max Ophuls charts the course of Montès’s scandalous past through the invocations of the bombastic ringmaster (Peter Ustinov) of the American circus where she has ended up performing. Ophuls’s final film, LOLA MONTÈS is at once a magnificent romantic melodrama, a meditation on the lurid fascination with celebrity, and a one-of-a-kind movie spectacle.
	The Lonedale Operator Directed by Michael Almereyda 2018 United States Duration: 15:14	The writings and movie memories of renowned poet John Ashbery are refracted in a kaleidoscope of film clips that open up an illuminating dialogue between his work and cinema.

	Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx Directed by Kenji Misumi 1972 Japan Duration: 1:21:27	In this exploitation-cinema classic, which took the action and graphic violence of the LONE WOLF AND CUB series to delirious new heights, Itto Ogami and Daigoro continue their quest for vengeance through meifumado, the spiritual way of “demons and damnation,” pursued constantly by the Shadow Yagyu clan and the shogun's spies.

	The Long Day Closes Directed by Terence Davies Starring Leigh McCormack, Marjorie Yates, Anthony Watson 1992 United Kingdom Duration: 1:25:39	THE LONG DAY CLOSES is the most gloriously cinematic expression of the unique sensibility of Terence Davies, widely celebrated as Britain’s greatest living filmmaker. Suffused with both enchantment and melancholy, this autobiographical film takes on the perspective of a quiet, lonely boy growing up in Liverpool in the 1950s. But rather than employ a straightforward narrative, Davies jumps in and out of time, swoops into fantasies and fears, summons memories and dreams. A singular filmic tapestry, THE LONG DAY CLOSES is an evocative, movie- and music-besotted portrait of the artist as a young man.
	The Long Good Friday Directed by John Mackenzie Starring Bob Hoskins, Helen Mirren, Dave King 1980 United Kingdom Duration: 1:54:24	A combustible performance from Bob Hoskins is the fuse that lights this underworld saga, a landmark of British crime cinema. Hoskins plays Harold Shand, an ambitious London mobster who, just as he attempts to close a major real-estate deal with the American Mafia, finds his crime empire rocked by a string of attacks, sending him on a ruthless quest to find out who’s responsible. Abetted by an ice-cool performance from Helen Mirren as Shand’s in-command moll, THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY is not only a gripping gangster thriller but also a vivid portrait of late-1970s Britain—a powder keg of cultural and political tensions on the verge of explosion.

	Look Back in Anger Directed by Tony Richardson Starring Richard Burton, Claire Bloom, Mary Ure 1958 United Kingdom Duration: 1:39:56	Based on the smash-hit play by John Osborne that inaugurated Britain’s “angry young men” literary movement, this touchstone of the British New Wave features a searing performance from Richard Burton as Jimmy Porter, a university graduate and the husband of a woman of some means, who has rejected middle-class dreams and now operates a candy stall at the local flea market. During their two year marriage, Alison (Mary Ure) has carried the full brunt of Jimmy’s anger and frustration, as well as his intense love.

Restored by the Academy Film Archive.
	Lord of the Flies Directed by Peter Brook Starring James Aubrey, Tom Chapin, Hugh Edwards 1963 United Kingdom Duration: 1:30:46	In the hands of the renowned experimental theater director Peter Brook, William Golding’s legendary novel about the primitivism lurking beneath civilization becomes a film as raw and ragged as the lost boys at its center. Taking an innovative documentary-like approach, Brook shot LORD OF THE FLIES with an off-the-cuff naturalism, seeming to record a spontaneous eruption of its characters’ ids. The result is a rattling masterpiece, as provocative as its source material.
	Losing Ground Directed by Kathleen Collins Starring Seret Scott, Bill Gunn, Duane Jones 1982 United States Duration: 1:25:55	One of the first feature films directed by an African American woman, Kathleen Collins’s LOSING GROUND tells the story of a marriage between two remarkable people, both at a crossroads in their lives. Sara Rogers (Seret Scott), a black professor of philosophy, is embarking on an intellectual quest to understand “ecstasy” just as her painter husband, Victor (Bill Gunn), sets off on a more earthy exploration of joy. Over the course of a summer idyll in upstate New York, the two each experience profound emotional and romantic awakenings. Applying a deft comic touch to a deeply personal exploration of love, race, and gender, Collins crafts a charming, complex tale of personal discovery that, after decades of neglect, has reemerged as a still-fresh landmark of independent cinema.
	Lost Highway Directed by David Lynch Starring Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, Balthazar Getty 1997 United States Duration: 2:14:50	“We’ve met before, haven’t we?” A mesmerizing meditation on the mysterious nature of identity, LOST HIGHWAY, David Lynch’s seventh feature film, is one of the filmmaker’s most potent cinematic dreamscapes. Starring Patricia Arquette and Bill Pullman, the film expands the horizons of the medium, taking its audience on a journey through the unknown and the unknowable. As this postmodern noir detours into the realm of science fiction, it becomes apparent that the only certainty is uncertainty.
	The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum Directed by Volker Schlöndorff and Margarethe von Trotta Starring Angela Winkler, Mario Adorf, Dieter Laser 1975 Germany Duration: 1:46:23	When a young woman spends the night with an alleged terrorist, her quiet, ordered life falls into ruins. THE LOST HONOR OF KATHARINA BLUM portrays an anxious era in West Germany amid a crumbling postwar political consensus. Katharina, though apparently innocent, suddenly becomes a suspect, falling prey to a vicious smear campaign by the police and a ruthless tabloid journalist that tests the limits of her dignity and her sanity. Crafting one of the most accessible and direct works of 1970s political filmmaking, Volker Schlöndorff and Margarethe von Trotta deliver a powerful adaptation of Heinrich Böll’s novel, a stinging commentary on state power, individual freedom, and media manipulation that is as relevant today as when it was released.
	The Lost Son Directed by Lotte Reiniger 1974 United Kingdom Duration: 14:52	One of Lotte Reiniger’s final films is an animated retelling of the biblical parable of the prodigal son.
	loudQUIETloud: A Film About the Pixies Directed by Steven Cantor and Matthew Galkin 2006 United States Duration: 1:25:22	An intimate, authentically raw portrait of indie legends the Pixies captures their trying, tense, and ultimately triumphant return as one of rock music’s greatest bands. A decade after their turbulent breakup in 1993, the band’s members—Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago, and David Lovering—convene for a series of rehearsals and warm-up shows in preparation for a sold-out reunion tour. In the cinema verité style of the classic Rolling Stones documentary GIMME SHELTER, LOUDQUIETLOUD: A FILM ABOUT THE PIXIES captures the less-than-glamorous, behind-the-scenes side of the touring lifestyle, bringing viewers as close to this enigmatic act as anyone is ever likely to get.
	Louie Bluie Directed by Terry Zwigoff Starring Howard Armstrong 1985 United States Duration: 1:00:36	CRUMB director Terry Zwigoff’s first film is a true treat: a documentary about the obscure country-blues musician and idiosyncratic visual artist Howard “Louie Bluie” Armstrong, member of the last known black string band in America. As beguiling a raconteur as he is a performer, Louie makes for a wildly entertaining movie subject, and Zwigoff honors him with an unsentimental but endlessly affectionate tribute. Full of infectious music and comedy, LOUIE BLUIE is a humane evocation of the kind of pop-cultural marginalia that Zwigoff would continue to excavate in the coming years.
	Love Affair Directed by Leo McCarey Starring Irene Dunne, Charles Boyer, Maria Ouspenskaya 1939 United States Duration: 1:29:18	Golden-age Hollywood’s humanist master Leo McCarey brings his graceful touch and relaxed naturalism to this sublime romance, one of cinema’s most intoxicating tear-wringers. Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer are chic strangers who meet and fall in love aboard an ocean liner bound for New York. Though they are both involved with other people, they make a pact to reconnect six months later at the top of the Empire State Building—until the hand of fate throws their star-crossed affair tragically off course. Swooning passion and gentle comedy coexist in perfect harmony in the exquisitely tender LOVE AFFAIR (nominated for six Oscars), a story so timeless that it has been remade by multiple filmmakers over the years—including McCarey himself, who updated it as the no less beloved AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER.
	Love Affair, or the Case of the Missing Switchboard Operator Directed by Dušan Makavejev 1967 Yugoslavia Duration: 1:08:42	In outline, this is the story of the tragic romance between a young telephonist (Eva Ras) and a middle-aged rodent sanitation specialist (Slobodan Aligrudic) in Belgrade. Yet in Dusan Makavejev's manic hands, this second feature becomes an endlessly surprising, time-shifting exploration of love and freedom. Featuring interludes of interviews with a sexologist and a criminologist, as well as some of the most elegant dramatic filmmaking of the director's career, Love Affair, based on a true incident, further demonstrated Makavejev's adeptness at mixing and matching genres, and his odd, sophisticated humanism.
	The Love Goddesses Directed by Saul J. Turell 1965 United States Duration: 1:19:02	Saul J. Turell's documentary fixes our gaze on cinema's female sex symbols, delighting in their glamor while also examining our shifting culture that constantly redefines what we consider alluring--and what we are allowed to see.
	Love in the Afternoon Directed by Eric Rohmer Starring Bernard Verley, Zouzou, Françoise Verley 1972 France Duration: 1:37:51	Though happily married to the adoring Hélène and expecting a second child with her, the thoroughly bourgeois executive Frédéric cannot banish from his mind the attractive Paris women he sees every day. His flirtations and fantasies remain harmless until the appearance at his office of Chloé, an audacious, unencumbered old flame played by the mesmerizing Zouzou. LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON, the luminous final chapter in Eric Rohmer’s Six Moral Tales, is a tender, sobering, and wholly adult affair that leads to perhaps the most overwhelmingly emotional moment in the entire series.
	Love in the Time of AIDS Directed by Deepa Dhanraj 2006 India Duration: 46:50	LOVE IN THE TIME OF AIDS follows a group of kothis (gay men who identify as femme) in Belgaum, a small city in Karnataka, and traces their stories of love, desire, and ostracization, as well as their work with an NGO that promotes safe-sex practices.
	Love Is Colder Than Death Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder 1969 Germany Duration: 1:25:13	For his feature debut, Rainer Werner Fassbinder fashioned an acerbic, unorthodox crime drama about a love triangle involving the small-time pimp Franz (Fassbinder), his prostitute girlfriend, Joanna (future Fassbinder mainstay Hanna Schygulla), and his gangster friend Bruno (Ulli Lommel). With its minimalist tableaux and catalog of New Wave and Hollywood references, this is a stylishly nihilistic cinematic statement of intent.
	Love Letter Directed by Kinuyo Tanaka Starring Masayuki Mori, Juzo Dosan, Yoshiko Kuga 1953 Japan Duration: 1:38:11	Released a year after the American occupation of Japan ended, Kinuyo Tanaka’s directorial debut explores the professional and personal conflicts of Reikichi (Masayuki Mori), a repatriated veteran who searches for his lost love (Yoshiko Kuga) while translating romantic letters from Japanese women to American GIs. As adapted from a novel by Fumio Niwa, LOVE LETTER depicts with incisive complexity the fraught adaptation of Japanese soldiers to a changed society as well as the moral condemnation of Japanese women who became involved with the enemy.
	The Love Life of the Octopus Directed by Jean Painlevé 1967 France Duration: 14:24	The mating rituals and reproductive cycle of the octopus are the subject of this short documentary by Jean Painlevé.
	Love Meetings Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini Starring Pier Paolo Pasolini, Lello Bersani 1964 Italy Duration: 1:33:12	Let’s talk about sex. In this radically engaged and engaging documentary, Pier Paolo Pasolini takes to the streets, town squares, beaches, factories, and universities of 1960s Italy to solicit everyday citizens’ thoughts on a host of hot-button subjects, including sex work, gender equality, homosexuality, and divorce (then illegal in Italy). What emerges is both a kaleidoscopic cross section of faces and places—from the industrialized cities of the North to the rural villages of the South—and an incisive portrait of a society where, despite the rapid modernization brought on by the postwar “economic miracle,” hypocrisy, repression, and conformism still hold sway.
	Love New and Old Directed by Masahiro Shinoda 1961 Japan Duration: 1:21:36	A woman brings her injured daughter to the hospital, only to realize that the doctor is the estranged father of her child. Directed by Masahiro Shinoda.
	Love on the Run Directed by François Truffaut Starring Jean-Pierre Léaud, Marie-France Pisier, Claude Jade 1979 France Duration: 1:35:34	Antoine Doinel strikes again! In the final chapter of François Truffaut’s saga, we find Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud), now in his thirties, convivially concluding his marriage, enjoying moderate success as a novelist, and clinging to his romantic fantasies. The newly single Doinel finds a new object of his affections in Sabine, a record store salesgirl whom he pursues with the fervid belief that without love, one is nothing. Along the way, he renews his acquaintance with previous loves and confronts his own chaotic past. In LOVE ON THE RUN, Antoine Doinel is still in love and because he’s still in love, he’s still alive.
	The Lovers Directed by Louis Malle Starring Jeanne Moreau, Jean-Marc Bory 1958 France Duration: 1:30:44	Louis Malle unveiled the natural beauty of Jeanne Moreau in his breakthrough, ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS. With his follow-up, the scandalous smash THE LOVERS (LES AMANTS), he made her a star once and for all. A deeply felt and luxuriously filmed fairy tale for grown-ups, perched on the edge between classical and New Wave cinemas, THE LOVERS presents Moreau as a restless bourgeois wife whose eye wanders from both her husband and her lover to an attractive passing stranger (Jean-Marc Bory). Thanks to its frank sexuality, THE LOVERS caused quite a stir, being censored and attacked for obscenity around the world. If today its shock has worn off, its glistening sensuality and seductive storytelling haven’t aged a day.
	Loves of a Blonde Directed by Miloš Forman Starring Vladimíra Pucholta, Vladimír Menšik, Ivan Kheil 1965 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:21:17	With sixteen women to each man, the odds are against Andula in her desperate search for love—that is, until a rakish piano player visits her small factory town and temporarily eases her longings. A tender and humorous look at Andula’s journey, from the first pangs of romance to its inevitable disappointments, LOVES OF A BLONDE immediately became a classic of the Czechoslovak New Wave and earned Milos Forman the first of his Academy Award nominations.
	Love Under the Crucifix Directed by Kinuyo Tanaka Starring Ineko Arima, Tatsuya Nakadai, Mieko Takamine 1962 Japan Duration: 1:41:56	Kinuyo Tanaka’s final work as a director evokes the golden age of Japanese cinema with a large-scale, sixteenth-century-set costume drama. Produced by the independent studio Ninjin Kurabu, LOVE UNDER THE CRUCIFIX centers on the forbidden romance between Ogin (Ineko Arima), daughter of a famous tea master, and Ukon (Tatsuya Nakadai), a married samurai. The shogunate’s prohibition of Ukon’s Christian faith forces the lovers to fight against the prejudices of an oppressive society while persisting in their mutual devotion.
	Love Unto Waste Directed by Stanley Kwan Starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Chow Yun-fat, Elaine Jin 1986 Hong Kong Duration: 1:38:39	Stanley Kwan’s sordid tale of lust and murder begins as three friends—beautiful model Billie (Irene Wan), up-and-coming starlet Ping (Elaine Jin), and singer Ling (Tsai Chin)—become involved with Tony (a young Tony Leung Chiu-wai in one of his first film roles), the playboy son of a wealthy rice merchant. Tony has a penchant for nightclubs and drinking, and together the four enjoy a lifestyle of hedonistic pleasure. When Ling is found brutally murdered, it’s up to methodical Detective Lan (Chow Yun-fat, on the verge of action stardom) to investigate, putting the remaining survivors under scrutiny as he attempts to unravel their complicated relationships.
	Loving Couples Directed by Mai Zetterling Starring Harriet Andersson, Gunnel Lindblom, Gio Petré 1964 Sweden Duration: 1:58:33	The title of Mai Zetterling’s boldly iconoclastic debut feature—adapted from a cycle of seven novels by the provocative feminist writer Agnes von Krusenstjerna—drips with irony. In 1915, three pregnant women from varying social backgrounds (Harriet Andersson, Gunnel Lindblom, and Gio Petré) enter a maternity ward. Cue a swirl of perspective-shifting flashbacks that, with searing psychological insight, illuminate the divergent yet interconnected experiences that brought them there—and that came to a head during one lavish, debauched Midsommar celebration. Wildly subversive in its treatment of sexuality, gender, class, religion, marriage, and motherhood, LOVING COUPLES is as electrifying a first feature as any in cinema history, announcing the arrival of an uncompromising artist in pursuit of raw emotional truth.
	Loving Highsmith Directed by Eva Vitija Starring Gwendoline Christie, Annina Butterworth, Marijane Meaker 2022 Germany Duration: 1:27:51	The life and work of celebrated American writer Patricia Highsmith are revealed through her diaries and notebooks and the intimate reflections of her lovers, friends, and family in this fascinating documentary. While many of her most famous novels—including “Strangers on a Train,” “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” and the partly autobiographical lesbian love story “The Price of Salt”—were adapted into acclaimed films, Highsmith herself was forced to lead a double life and had to hide her vibrant same-sex affairs from her family and the public. Only in her unpublished writings did she reflect on her rich private life. Excerpts from these notes voiced by Gwendoline Christie are beautifully interwoven with archival materials to create a vivid, touching portrait of a complex artist.
	The Lower Depths Directed by Akira Kurosawa Starring Toshiro Mifune, Isuzu Yamada, Kyoko Kagawa 1957 Japan Duration: 2:05:06	Jean Renoir and Akira Kurosawa, two of cinema’s greatest directors, transform Maxim Gorky’s classic proletariat play “The Lower Depths” in their own ways for their own times. Renoir, working amidst the rise of Hitler and the Popular Front in France, had need to take license with the dark nature of Gorky’s source material, softening its bleak outlook. Kurosawa, firmly situated in the postwar world, found little reason for hope. He remained faithful to the original with its focus on the conflict between illusion and reality, a theme he would return to over and over again. Working with their most celebrated actors (Gabin with Renoir; Mifune with Kurosawa), each film offers a unique look at cinematic adaptation, where social conditions and filmmaking styles converge to create unique masterpieces.
	The Lower Depths Directed by Jean Renoir Starring Jean Gabin, Louis Jouvet 1936 France Duration: 1:32:51	In Jean Renoir’s lightened adaptation of Maxim Gorky’s play, a thief and a destitute Baron form a friendship as the inhabitants of a Parisian slum go about their lives.
	Lucía Directed by Humberto Solás Starring Raquel Revuelta, Eslinda Núñez, Adela Legrá 1968 Cuba Duration: 2:41:25	Directed by Humberto Solás • 1968 • Cuba Starring Raquel Revuelta, Eslinda Núñez, Adela Legrá A breathtaking vision of Cuban revolutionary history wrought with white-hot intensity by Humberto Solás, this operatic epic tells the story of a changing country through the eyes of three women, each named Lucía. In 1895, she is a tragic noblewoman who inadvertently betrays her country for love during the war of independence. In 1932, she is the daughter of a bourgeois family drawn into the workers’ uprising against the dictatorship of Gerardo Machado. And in the postrevolutionary 1960s, she is a newlywed farm girl fighting against patriarchal oppression. A formally dazzling landmark of postcolonial cinema, LUCÍA is both a senses-stunning visual experience and a fiercely feminist portrait of a society journeying toward liberation.
	Lumière d’été Directed by Jean Grémillon 1943 France Duration: 1:50:12	A shimmering glass hotel at the top of a remote Provençal mountain provides the setting for a tragicomic tapestry about an obsessive love pentangle, whose principals range from an artist to a hotel manager to a dam worker. Scripted by Jacques Prévert and Pierre Laroche, the film was banned from theaters for the duration of the occupation for its dark portrayal of the hedonistic excesses of the ruling class. Today, it is often singled out as Jean Grémillon's greatest achievement.
	Lumumba: Death of a Prophet Directed by Raoul Peck 1991 Congo, The Democratic Republic of the Duration: 1:13:11	Investigating revolutionary Patrice Lumumba’s brief tenure as the first prime minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo as well as the machinations behind his shocking assassination, legendary Haitian filmmaker Raoul Peck (I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO) discovers critical flashpoints where a nation’s officially curated narratives intersect with repressed truths. At eight years old, Peck was brought by his family to the newly independent DRC, where his father worked for the United Nations as an agricultural professor and his mother served as secretary to the mayor of Kinshasa. Sifting through his childhood recollections and interviewing Belgian journalists and politicians who witnessed the country’s descent into internecine violence, Peck fashions a prismatic meditation on the elusiveness of political objectivity and the ethics of personal remembrance in chronicling the traumas of history.
	Lunar New Year Directed by S*an D. Henry-Smith Starring Ryan Clarke, Justin Allen, Slant Rhyme 2021 United States Duration: 19:52	S*an D. Henry-Smith narrates a series of portraits recorded during a day out in New York City, capturing, in the artist’s words, “quiet encounters in the polyphonic city.”
	The Lure Directed by Agnieszka Smoczyńska Starring Kinga Preis, Michalina Olszańska, Marta Mazurek 2015 Poland Duration: 1:32:25	Directed by Agnieska Smoczyńska • 2015 • Poland Starring Kinga Preis, Michalina Olszańska, Marta Mazurek This genre-defying horror-musical mash-up—the bold debut of Polish director Agnieszka Smoczyńska—follows a pair of carnivorous mermaid sisters drawn ashore to explore life on land in an alternate 1980s Poland. Their tantalizing siren songs and otherworldly auras make them overnight sensations as nightclub singers in the half-glam, half-decrepit world of Smoczyńska’s imagining. The director gives fierce teeth to her viscerally sensual, darkly feminist twist on Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid,” in which the girls’ bond is tested and their survival threatened after one sister falls for a human. A coming-of-age fairy tale with a catchy synth-fueled soundtrack, outrageous song-and-dance numbers, and lavishly grimy sets, THE LURE explores its themes of emerging female sexuality, exploitation, and the compromises of adulthood with savage energy and originality.
	The Lure and the Lore Directed by Ayoka Chenzira Starring Thomas Pinnock 1988 United States Duration: 14:56	Dancer Thomas Pinnock draws inspiration from the folklore of his native Jamaica and from his experiences as an immigrant in New York.

	Lynch/Oz Directed by Alexandre O. Philippe Starring John Waters, Karyn Kusama, Justin Benson 2022 United States Duration: 1:49:44	The themes, images, and cultural vernacular of Victor Fleming’s THE WIZARD OF OZ continue to haunt David Lynch’s filmography—from his early short THE ALPHABET to his recent television series TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN. Arguably, no filmmaker has so consistently drawn inspiration—consciously or unconsciously—from a single work. Is Lynch trapped in the Land of Oz? If so, what can we learn about his body of work by taking a closer look at how it intersects and communicates with that legendary fantasy? In turn, what do Lynch’s films have to say about the enduring resonance of one of America’s most beloved classics? Through six distinct perspectives, Alexandre O. Philippe’s LYNCH/OZ helps us reexperience and reinterpret THE WIZARD OF OZ by way of David Lynch, delivering new appreciations of both. “Cinematic catnip.” —Michael Frank, The Film Stage “Startling and exhilarating.” —Glenn Kenny, RogerEbert.com “A must for film nerds, Oz-aphiles and anyone who’s wondered why so many of Lynch’s characters wear red shoes.” —David Fear, Rolling Stone
	M Directed by Fritz Lang 1931 Germany Duration: 1:49:42	Directed by Fritz Lang • 1931 • Germany A simple, haunting musical phrase whistled offscreen tells us that a young girl will be killed. “Who Is the Murderer?” pleads a nearby placard as serial killer Hans Beckert (Peter Lorre) closes in on little Elsie Beckmann . . . In his harrowing masterwork M, Fritz Lang merges trenchant social commentary with chilling suspense, creating a panorama of private madness and public hysteria that to this day remains the blueprint for the psychological thriller.
	Maat Directed by Fox Maxy 2020 United States Duration: 30:07	Unfolding as an exhilarating stream-of-consciousness collage of phone videos, found footage, computer games, and digital detritus, MAAT is an at once playful and pointed exploration of Indigenous identity and activism.
	Mac Directed by John Turturro Starring John Turturro, Michael Badalucco, Katherine Borowitz 1992 United States Duration: 1:58:09	Winner of the Caméra d’Or at Cannes for best first-time director, John Turturro’s deeply personal, emotionally intense directorial debut draws from his own family experiences as it tells the story of three brothers who struggle against all odds to scrape together enough money to start their own business in 1950s Queens. Turturro the director expertly realizes their unique and often humorous world, one bound by raucous loyalty and torn by sibling rivalry. And Turturro the actor delivers one of his finest performances as Mac, the ambitious, overbearing, irresistible oldest brother.
	The Machine That Kills Bad People Directed by Roberto Rossellini Starring Sergio Amidei, Gennaro Pisano, Marilyn Buferd 1952 Italy Duration: 1:24:50	Roberto Rossellini blends neorealism with fantasy in this offbeat comic fable, one of the titan director’s most unique and overlooked works. In a small fishing village on the Amalfi Coast, a stranger claiming to be Saint Andrea (or is he really a demon?) bestows a self-righteous photographer’s camera with the power to kill “evil-doers” simply by photographing an existing picture of them. Initially, the indignant photographer uses his new weapon to do away with the wealthy and corrupt who misuse their power—but soon he falls prey to the very amoral selfishness that he supposedly despises.
	Madadayo Directed by Akira Kurosawa 1993 Japan Duration: 2:14:36	For his final film, Akira Kurosawa paid tribute to the immensely popular writer and educator Hyakken Uchida, here played by Tatsuo Matsumura. Madadayo is composed of distinct episodes based on Uchida's writings that illustrate the affection and loyalty felt between Uchida and his students. Poignant and elegant, this is an unforgettable farewell from one of the greatest artists the cinema has ever known.
	Madeleine Directed by David Lean Starring Ann Todd, Ivan Desny, Norman Wooland 1950 United States Duration: 1:55:13	One of David Lean’s most neglected and atypical works is an engrossing dramatization of the true crime that shocked nineteenth-century Scotland. Ann Todd stars in the title role of the wealthy socialite Madeleine Smith, who bucks Victorian convention by pursuing a scandalous affair with the working-class Frenchman Emile L’Angelier (Ivan Desny). When Emile dies suddenly of arsenic poisoning, suspicion falls on Madeleine and she takes the stand in a trial that will rivet the nation.

	Madonna and Child Directed by Terence Davies Starring Terry O’Sullivan, Sheila Raynor, Paul Barber 1980 United Kingdom Duration: 28:36	In the second film of Terence Davies’s autobiographical trilogy of shorts, his alter ego Robert Tucker works an unsatisfying office job, seeking out sexual encounters while being tormented by Catholic guilt and caring for his mother. Suffused with the longing and loneliness of queer outsiderhood, THE TERENCE DAVIES TRILOGY display the impressionistic visual style and piercing emotional sensitivity that would make Davies one of the great cinematic poets of our time.
	Madonna of the Seven Moons Directed by Arthur Crabtree 1945 United Kingdom Duration: 1:50:04	A lurid tale of sex and psychosis, Madonna of the Seven Moons, directed by Arthur Crabtree, is among the wildest of the Gainsborough melodramas. Set in Italy, it begins as a comparatively sedate tale about a respectable, convent-raised woman (Phyllis Calvert) who is haunted by the memory of being raped as a teenager. But when her grown daughter returns from school, her life begins to unravel in monumentally surprising ways.
	Madulu, The Seaman Directed by 0 Duration: 21:57	Omari’s young life in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines revolves around playing football, and through the sport he sees the world.

	Maestro Directed by Josell Ramos Starring Larry Levan, David Mancuso, Frankie Knuckles 2003 United States Duration: 1:25:36	The origins of New York City’s legendary underground dance-club culture are explored in this kinetic cult documentary—a vivid chronicle of a scene that became an oasis for the city’s queer and Black communities in the 1970s and ’80s. As told by the ordinary people who lived many an ecstatic night on the dance floor, Maestro pays homage to the storied clubs like Paradise Garage, The Loft, and The Gallery as well as trailblazing DJs like Larry Levan, David Mancuso, and Nicky Siano who shaped the sound of dance music for a generation to come. Bursting with passion for its subject, this essential history transmits the full-sensory euphoria of sound, rhythm, and movement.
	The Maestro: King of the Cowboy Artists Directed by Les Blank 1995 United States Duration: 53:34	This documentary from Les Blank follows the indomitable Gerald ‘The Maestro’ Gaxiola, who turned to a life of prolific art making after years as an aircraft mechanic, traveling salesman, and body builder. While, in Gaxiola’s words, ‘art is a religion, not a business,’ THE MAESTRO: KING OF THE COWBOY ARTISTS is a joyful portrait of an irreverent, outsized life.
	Mafioso Directed by Alberto Lattuada Starring Alberto Sordi, Norma Bengell, Gabriella Conti 1962 Italy Duration: 1:42:58	In Alberto Lattuada’s brilliant dark comedy MAFIOSO, auto-factory foreman Nino (Alberto Sordi) takes his proper, modern wife (Norma Bengell) and two blonde daughters from industrial Milan to antiquated, rural Sicily to visit his family and get back in touch with his roots. But Antonio gets more than he bargained for when he discovers some harsh truths about his ancestors—and himself. One of the first Italian films to look frankly at the Mafia, Lattuada’s devastatingly funny character study is equal parts culture-clash farce and existential nightmare.

	Maggots and Men Directed by Cary Cronenwett Starring Stormy Henry Knight, Travis Clough, Scout Festa 2009 United States Duration: 54:45	This experimental historical narrative set in a mythologized version of revolutionary Russia reimagines the story of the 1921 uprising of the Kronstadt sailors and features the largest cast of trans actors in film history. A masterful homage to Sergei Eisenstein’s BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN, MAGGOTS AND MEN also deploys stylistic innovations reminiscent of Guy Maddin and Kenneth Anger. Agitprop theater group Blue Blouse guides the viewer through the story, which is narrated by fictionalized letters written by Stepan Petrichenko, the leader of the Provisional Revolutionary Committee.
	The Magic Flute Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Josef Köstlinger, Irma Urrila, Håkan Hagegård 1975 Sweden Duration: 2:18:03	This scintillating screen version of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s beloved opera showcases Ingmar Bergman’s deep knowledge of music and gift for expressing it cinematically. Casting some of Europe’s finest soloists—Josef Köstlinger, Ulrik Cold, Håkan Hagegård, and Birgit Nordin among them—the director lovingly recreated the baroque theater of Sweden’s Drottningholm Palace to stage the story of the prince Tamino and his zestful sidekick Papageno, who are sent on a mission to save a beautiful princess from the clutches of evil. A celebration of love and forgiveness that exhibits a profound appreciation for the artifice and spectacle of the theater, THE MAGIC FLUTE is among the most exquisite opera films ever made.
	The Magic Horse Directed by Lotte Reiniger 1953 United Kingdom Duration: 10:19	Lotte Reiniger returns to the character of Prince Achmed for this “Arabian Nights”–inspired fantasy in which our hero takes off on a flying horse.
	The Magician Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Max von Sydow, Gunnar Björnstrand 1958 Sweden Duration: 1:41:12	With THE MAGICIAN, an engaging, brilliantly conceived tale of chicanery that doubles as a symbolic portrait of the artist as a deceiver, Ingmar Bergman proved himself to be one of cinema’s premier illusionists. Max von Sydow stars as Dr. Vogler, a nineteenth-century traveling mesmerist and peddler of potions whose magic is put to the test in Stockholm by the cruel, eminently rational royal medical adviser Dr. Vergérus (Gunnar Björnstrand). The result is a diabolically clever battle of wits that’s both frightening and funny, shot by Gunnar Fischer in rich, gorgeously gothic black and white.
	Magnet of Doom Directed by Jean-Pierre Melville Starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, Charles Vanel, Michèle Mercier 1963 France Duration: 1:45:27	Starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, Charles Vanel, Michèle Mercier Based on a novel by Georges Simenon, Jean-Pierre Melville’s idiosyncratic road movie follows a down-on-his-luck boxer (Jean-Paul Belmondo) who, after he takes a job as secretary for a shady millionaire (Charles Vanel), finds himself embroiled in a high-profile fraud case that takes the pair on the run from Paris to New York to New Orleans.

Beulah Bondi and Victor Moore headline a cast of incomparable character actors, starring as an elderly couple who must move in with their grown children after the bank takes their home, yet end up separated and subject to their offspring’s selfish whims. An inspiration for Yasujiro Ozu’s TOKYO STORY, this is among American cinema’s purest tearjerkers, all the way to its unflinching ending, which McCarey refused to change despite studio pressure.

Set in Van Sant’s hometown of Portland, Oregon, the film evokes a world of transient workers, dead-end day-shifters, and bars and seedy apartments bathed in a profound nighttime, as it follows a romantic deadbeat with a wayward crush on a handsome Mexican immigrant. MALA NOCHE was an important prelude to the New Queer Cinema of the nineties and is a fascinating capsule from a time and place that continues to haunt its director’s work.

	Mandabi Directed by Ousmane Sembène Starring Makuredia Guey, Yunus Ndiaye, Isseu Niang 1968 Senegal Duration: 1:32:15	This second feature by Ousmane Sembène was the first movie ever made in the Wolof language—a major step toward the realization of the trailblazing Senegalese filmmaker’s dream of creating a cinema by, about, and for Africans.

	Man Push Cart Directed by Ramin Bahrani Starring Ahmad Razvi, Leticia Dolera, Charles Daniel Sandoval 2005 United States Duration: 1:27:13	A modest miracle of twenty-first-century neorealism, the acclaimed debut feature by Ramin Bahrani speaks quietly but profoundly to the experiences of those living on the margins of the American dream.

	Manual of Arms Directed by Hollis Frampton 1966 United States Duration: 17:32	“The film has the look of a New York loft, a certain overlay of gritty, claustrophobic funk that permeated that whole period. It’s also a formalist’s snapshot album. Those people were friends of mine during a fairly interesting time. We were all lepers, ‘out-of-it,’ or what have you, with the possible exception of Larry Poons.” - Hollis Frampton

	Marathon Directed by Carlos Saura 1993 Sweden Duration: 2:10:28	Carlos Saura's film of the Games of the XXV Olympiad Barcelona 1992 brings a visual flair and humanism that paid excellent tribute to the Games and to the Catalan capital. The title event, the men's marathon, was chosen both as symbol and leitmotif, in part because the race took place in the streets of Barcelona, but also because of the effort and endurance required in this most arduous of Olympic events. Saura was excited at the prospect of delivering a film that would run approximately the same length as the time a men's marathon winner might achieve, hence this director's cut of MARATHON at two hours and ten minutes.
	Marc and Ann Directed by Les Blank, Maureen Gosling, and Chris Simon 1991 United States Duration: 28:14	Les Blank revisits one of his favorite subjects—the vitality of Cajun culture—in this engaging portrait of Marc and Ann Savoy, artists who carry on Cajun traditions through music, storytelling, and food.

Based on a novel by Vladislav Vančura, this stirring and poetic depiction of a feud between two rival medieval clans is a fierce, epic, and meticulously designed evocation of the clashes between Christianity and paganism, humankind and nature, love and violence. Vláčil’s approach was to re-create the textures and mentalities of a long-ago way of life, rather than to make a conventional historical drama, and the result is dazzling. With its inventive widescreen cinematography, editing, and sound design, MARKETA LAZAROVÁ is an experimental action film.

He’s Domenico, a suave, bourgeois business owner; she’s Filumena, a rough-around-the-edges Neapolitan sex worker. In flashback, their tempestuous twenty-two-year relationship unfolds, right up to his impending marriage to another woman—but Filumena has other plans. Loren sizzles in an Oscar-nominated performance, while nobody plays the cad better than Mastroianni.

Intense and hectic, frightening and funny, A Married Couple is ultimately a film about the eternal power struggle in romantic relationships, as well as a document of the moment when entrenched gender roles began to crumble.
	Marseille Directed by Jean Margueritte and Jean Monti 1935 France Duration: 12:37	This short documentary about the Marseille harbor was produced by filmmaker Marcel Pagnol in 1935, possibly to accompany the release of CÉSAR.

Loosely based on a story by pulp-fiction master Cornell Woolrich, MARTHA finds Fassbinder tearing the institution of marriage to shreds with savage, subversive glee.

Nearly fifty years after the death of his twin brother at the age of twenty-nine, acclaimed director Marco Bellocchio (FISTS IN THE POCKET) gathers his family to reconstruct Camillo’s disappearance. Combining intimate conversations with the Bellocchio family and those who knew Camillo best with archival material, home movies, and his own films, Marco attempts to manifest a ghost he has been dealing with his entire life. What begins as a family conversation morphs into a profoundly moving investigation into grief, guilt, compassion, and love from one of Italian cinema’s greatest directors.
	Mary Jane’s Not a Virgin Anymore Directed by Sarah Jacobson Starring Lisa Gerstein, Chris Enright, Greg Cruikshank, Marny Snyder Spoons 1998 United States Duration: 1:35:33	The punk-spirited films of Sarah Jacobson combine B-movie aesthetics, riot grrrl feminism, and the DIY ethos of the 1990s zine scene into unfiltered and subversive looks at female rebellion. MARY JANE’S NOT A VIRGIN ANYMORE, Jacobson's only feature film, is a vibrant and vital antidote to every phony Hollywood teen picture, bringing lo-fi authenticity to the coming-of-age genre as a young woman (Lisa Gerstein) navigates the less-than-glamorous realities of love and sex with a frankness rarely seen on-screen.
	Masculin féminin Directed by Jean-Luc Godard Starring Jean-Pierre Léaud, Chantal Goya, Marlène Jobert 1966 France Duration: 1:44:31	With MASCULIN FÉMININ (“Masculine Feminine”), ruthless stylist and iconoclast Jean-Luc Godard introduces the world to “the children of Marx and Coca-Cola,” through a gang of restless youths engaged in hopeless love affairs with music, revolution, and each other. French new wave icon Jean-Pierre Leaud stars as Paul, an idealistic would-be intellectual struggling to forge a relationship with the adorable pop star Madeleine (real-life yé-yé girl Chantal Goya). Through their tempestuous affair, Godard fashions a candid and wildly funny free-form examination of youth culture in throbbing 1960s Paris, mixing satire and tragedy as only Godard can.

There, she confronts her complex feelings about the woman who raised her, her homeland, and the first, seemingly impossible love she was forced to leave behind.

	A Master Builder Directed by Jonathan Demme Starring Wallace Shawn, Julie Hagerty, Lisa Joyce 2014 United States Duration: 2:07:27	Twenty years after their brilliant cinema-theater experiment VANYA ON 42ND STREET, Wallace Shawn and André Gregory reunited to produce another idiosyncratic film version of a classic play, this time Henrik Ibsen’s “Bygmester Solness” (“Master Builder Solness”). Brought pristinely to the screen by Jonathan Demme, this compellingly abstract reimagining features Shawn (who also wrote the adaptation) as a visionary but tyrannical middle-aged architect haunted by figures from his past, most acutely an attractive, vivacious young woman (the breathtaking newcomer Lisa Joyce) who has appeared on his doorstep. Also featuring standout supporting performances by Julie Hagerty, Larry Pine, and Gregory, A MASTER BUILDER, like VANYA, is the result of many years of rehearsals, a living, breathing, constantly shifting work that unites theater, film, and dream.
	Master of the House Directed by Carl Th. Dreyer Starring Johannes Meyer, Astrid Holm 1925 Denmark Duration: 1:47:09	Before he turned to the story of Joan of Arc, the Danish cinema genius Carl Theodor Dreyer fashioned this ahead-of-its-time examination of domestic life. A deft comedy of gentle revenge, it is the story of a housewife who, with the help of a wily nanny, turns the tables on her tyrannical husband. In it, Dreyer combines lightness and humor with his customary meticulous craft and sense of integrity. MASTER OF THE HOUSE, an enormous box-office success in its day, is a jewel of the silent cinema.
	Matango Directed by Ishiro Honda Starring Hiroshi Koizumi, Kumi Mizuno, Kenji Sahara 1963 Japan Duration: 1:29:50	Leaving behind the kaiju genre for which he was best known, Ishiro Honda took a detour into hallucinogenic science fiction with this disturbing psychological survival thriller that stands as perhaps the director’s darkest and most complex work. When their yacht washes ashore a remote island, a group of vacationing youths soon find themselves giving in to the temptation of the strange mushrooms that grow there—initiating a grotesque transformation and descent into surreal terror.
	The Match Factory Girl Directed by Aki Kaurismäki 1990 Finland Duration: 1:08:57	Kaurismäki took his penchant for despairing character studies to unspeakably grim depths in the shockingly entertaining The Match Factory Girl. Kati Outinen is memorably impenetrable as Iris, whose grinding days as a cog in a factory wheel, and nights as a neglected daughter living with her parents, ultimately send her over the edge. Yet despite her transgressions, Kaurismäki makes Iris a compelling, even sympathetic figure. Bleak yet suffused with comic irony, The Match Factory Girl closes out the "Proletariat Trilogy" with a bang, and a whimper.
	Maurice Directed by James Ivory Starring James Wilby, Hugh Grant, Rupert Graves 1987 United Kingdom Duration: 2:20:34	James Ivory’s sumptuously romantic adaptation of E. M. Forster’s posthumously published novel “Maurice” is a heart-racing story of coming to terms with one’s sexuality and identity in the face of disapproval and misunderstanding. Amid the rigid conformity of pre–World War I English society, Maurice Hall (James Wilby) and Clive Durham (Hugh Grant) find themselves falling in love at Cambridge. At a time when homosexuality is punishable by imprisonment, the two must keep their feelings for one another a complete secret. After Clive abandons his forbidden love and marries a woman, Maurice is left alone to struggle with his identity and self-confidence—until a chance encounter brings about a profound change in his life and outlook.

	Me and You and Everyone We Know Directed by Miranda July Starring John Hawkes, Miranda July, Miles Thompson 2005 United States Duration: 1:31:35	With this compassionate, startling comedy that could have come from no other artistic sensibility, the brilliant Miranda July reveals a world both familiar and strange—an original vision of creativity, sexuality, childhood, and loneliness that emerges from a series of braided vignettes around a pair of potential lovers: Richard, a newly single shoe salesman and father of two (John Hawkes), and Christine, a lonely video artist and “Eldercab” driver (July). While they take hesitant steps toward romance, Richard’s sons follow their own curiosity toward their first sexual experiences, online and in real life, venturing into uncharted territories in their attempts to connect with others. Playful and profoundly transgressive, ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW is a poetic look at the tortuous routes we take to intimacy in an isolating world, and the moments of magic and redemption that unite us.
	Meantime Directed by Mike Leigh Starring Tim Roth, Phil Daniels, Gary Oldman 1984 United Kingdom Duration: 1:47:22	A slow-burning depiction of economic degradation in Thatcher’s England, Mike Leigh’s MEANTIME is the culmination of the writer-director’s pioneering work in television. Unemployment is rampant in London’s working-class East End, where a middle-aged couple and their two sons languish in a claustrophobic public-housing flat. As the brothers (Phil Daniels and Tim Roth) grow increasingly disaffected, Leigh punctuates the grinding boredom of their daily existence with tense encounters, including with a priggish aunt (Marion Bailey) who has managed to become middle-class and a blithering skinhead on the verge of psychosis (a scene-stealing Gary Oldman, in his first major role). Informed by Leigh’s now trademark improvisational process and propelled by the lurching rhythms of its Beckett-like dialogue, MEANTIME is an unrelenting, often blisteringly funny look at life on the dole.
	Medea Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini Starring Maria Callas, Massimo Girotti, Laurent Terzieff 1969 Italy Duration: 1:51:26	In this hypnotic adaptation of Euripides’s immortal tragedy, Pier Paolo Pasolini casts opera diva Maria Callas (utterly arresting in her only film role) as the sorceress of Greek legend, whose separation from her homeland of Colchis and betrayal by her lover, Jason, lead her down a path of shocking vengeance. Melding Western myth with aesthetic and musical influences from numerous world cultures, Pasolini fashions a mesmerizing cinematic pageant that gathers in force until it explodes in rage and a stunningly nihilistic condemnation of injustice.
	Meeting the Man: James Baldwin in Paris Directed by Terence Dixon Starring James Baldwin, Terence Dixon 1970 France Duration: 27:16	In 1970, a British film crew set out to make a straightforward literary portrait of James Baldwin set in Paris, insisting on setting aside his political activism. Baldwin bristled at their questions, and the result is a fascinating, confrontational, often uncomfortable butting of heads between the filmmakers and their subject, in which the author visits the Bastille and other Parisian landmark and reflects on revolution, colonialism, and what it means to be a Black expatriate in Europe.
	Meet Marlon Brando Directed by Albert Maysles, David Maysles, and Charlotte Zwerin Starring Marlon Brando, Rex Morgan, Mary Frann 1966 United States Duration: 27:02	MEET MARLON BRANDO is a delightful, unusually candid portrait of the legendary actor during a tongue-in-cheek confrontation with the press. While television journalists interview him about his most recent film, he counters their futile questions with wit and insight. A man unwilling to sell himself, Brando shines in one of his most revealing performances.
	The Melbourne Rendez-vous Directed by René Lucot 1957 France Duration: 1:46:52	Of the two feature endeavors made around the Games of the XVI Olympiad in 1956, THE MELBOURNE RENDEZ-VOUS, directed by René Lucot, excels. Its tone is more observant and more inquiring than that of most Olympic films. Shooting in Agfacolor, Lucot and his crew focus on the human aspect of the Melbourne Games, in a quirky manner that prefigures Kon Ichikawa's TOKYO OLYMPIAD, to be made eight years later.
	Melons (At a Loss) Directed by Patty Chang 1998 United States Duration: 03:52	In this piece inspired by her aunt’s death from breast cancer, performance artist Patty Chang juggles a narrative about an imaginary cultural ritual with the act of cutting and eating a melon while balancing a plate on her head.

	Melvin Goes to Dinner Directed by Bob Odenkirk Starring Michael Blieden, Stephanie Courtney, Matt Price 2003 United States Duration: 1:23:36	Perhaps the finest conversation movie this side of MY DINNER WITH ANDRÉ, Bob Odenkirk’s directorial debut invites you along for a stimulating evening of hilarious, engrossing, and disarmingly honest talk, talk, talk. The simple premise—four thirtysomethings convene for a wine-fueled dinner party that turns increasingly intimate as they discuss everything from religion and ghosts to relationships and sexual fetishes—is rendered, in Odenkirk’s deft hands, consistently insightful and surprising, while a host of cameos (look out for everyone from David Cross to Jenna Fischer) keeps things lively.
	Memories of the Olympic Summer of 1952 Directed by 1954 Finland Duration: 50:16	Given that the weather during the Olympic Summer Games in 1952 was miserable, with frequent bouts of rain, this fifty-minute color film is able to capture something more of the enthusiastic mood of the Finnish crowds, by comparison with the black and white of WHERE THE WORLD MEETS and GOLD AND GLORY.
	Memories of Underdevelopment Directed by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea Starring Sergio Corrieri, Daisy Granados, Omar Valdés 1968 Cuba Duration: 1:39:02	Directed by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea • 1968 • Cuba Starring Sergio Corrieri, Daisy Granados, Omar Valdés This film by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea is the most renowned work in the history of Cuban cinema. After his wife and family flee in the wake of the Bay of Pigs invasion, the bourgeois intellectual Sergio (Sergio Corrieri) passes his days wandering Havana in idle reflection, his amorous entanglements and political ambivalence gradually giving way to a mounting sense of alienation. With this adaptation of an innovative novel by Edmundo Desnoes, Gutiérrez Alea developed a cinematic style as radical as the times he was chronicling, creating a collage of vivid impressions through the use of experimental editing techniques, archival material, and spontaneously shot street scenes. Intimate and densely layered, MEMORIES OF UNDERDEVELOPMENT provides an indictment of its protagonist’s disengagement and an extraordinary glimpse of life in postrevolutionary Cuba. Restored by the Cineteca di Bologna at L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in association with Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos (ICAIC). Restoration funded by the George Lucas Family Foundation and The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project.

The story was dramatized for centuries in Noh and Kabuki Theater, and here it becomes one of the director's most riveting early films.
	The Merchant of Four Seasons Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder Starring Hans Hirschmüller, Irm Hermann, Gusti Kreissl 1971 Germany Duration: 1:28:43	New German Cinema icon Rainer Werner Fassbinder kicked off a new phase of his young career when he made the startling THE MERCHANT OF FOUR SEASONS. In this anguished yet mordantly funny film, Fassbinder charts the decline of a self-destructive former policeman and war veteran struggling to make ends meet for his family by working as a fruit vendor. Fassbinder had gained acclaim for a series of trenchant, quickly made early films, but for this one he took more time and forged a new style—featuring a more complexly woven script and narrative structure and more sophisticated use of the camera, and influenced by the work of his recently discovered idol, Douglas Sirk. The result is a meticulously made, unforgiving social satire.
	Mermaids Directed by Richard Benjamin Starring Winona Ryder, Cher, Bob Hoskins 1990 United States Duration: 1:50:16	Cher, Winona Ryder, and Christina Ricci make for a memorably unconventional family in this wry, winningly offbeat coming-of-age tale.

When the family arrives in the small town of Eastport, Massachusetts, Charlotte hopes that finally she can put down roots as both she and her mother navigate new relationships.

Rock star Ryuichi Sakamoto (who also composed this film’s hypnotic score) plays the camp commander, obsessed with the mysterious blond major, while Tom Conti is the British lieutenant colonel Lawrence, who tries to bridge the emotional and language divides between captor and prisoner. Also featuring actor-director Takeshi Kitano in his first dramatic role, MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE is a multilayered, brutal, at times erotic tale of culture clash, and one of Oshima’s greatest successes.
	Messiah of Evil Directed by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz Starring Marianna Hill, Michael Greer, Joy Bang 1973 United States Duration: 1:29:52	A woman (Marianna Hill) arrives in a sleepy seaside town after receiving unsettling letters from her father, only to discover that the town is under the influence of a strange cult that weeps tears of blood and hungers for human flesh. From Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, the writers of AMERICAN GRAFFITI, INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, and HOWARD THE DUCK, this dreamily atmospheric cult classic transposes the post–NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD zombie movie to a surreal small-town American setting, presented through gorgeous Techniscope visuals that echo the stylish European horror of Mario Bava and Hammer Films.

Stillman’s deft, literate dialogue and hilariously highbrow observations earned this first film an Academy Award nomination for best original screenplay. Beneath the wit and sophistication, though, lies a tender tale of adolescent anxiety.

	Midnight Mary Directed by William A. Wellman Starring Loretta Young, Franchot Tone, Ricardo Cortez 1933 United States Duration: 1:14:27	Loretta Young gets one of her finest showcases in this incident-packed pre-Code tale of a woman’s descent into crime.

One bad break leads to another, and by the time she reaches adulthood Mary is mixed up with a gang of crooked gamblers. For the sake of Tom (Franchot Tone), a well-connected socialite who loves her unquestioningly, Mary tries to go straight—but her checkered past proves hard to shake.

Set over the course of one night, this restless drama finds Nicky (Cassavetes) holed up in a hotel after the boss he stole money from puts a hit out on him. Terrified, he calls on Mikey (Falk), the one person he thinks can save him.

	Milford Graves Full Mantis Directed by Jake Meginsky Starring Milford Graves 2018 United States Duration: 1:32:47	This portrait of renowned percussionist and founding pioneer of avant-garde jazz Milford Graves finds him exploring his kaleidoscopic creativity and relentless curiosity. The film draws the viewer through the artist’s lush garden and ornate home, into the martial arts dojo in his backyard and the laboratory in his basement—all just blocks from where he grew up in the housing projects of South Jamaica, Queens. Graves tells stories of discovery, struggle, and survival, ruminates on the essence of “swing,” activates electronic stethoscopes in his basement lab to process the sound of his heart, and travels to Japan to perform at a school for children with autism. Oscillating from present to past and weaving intimate glimpses of the artist’s complex cosmology with blistering performances, MILFORD GRAVES FULL MANTIS is cinema full of fluidity, polyrhythm, and intensity, embodying the essence of Graves’s music.
	Milford Graves Live at Jamaica Arts Center Directed by Jake Meginsky 2019 United States Duration: 13:04	Surrounded by his fellow Yara practitioners, Milford Graves arrives at the arts center in his neighborhood of Jamaica, Queens, for a unique concert, footage of which is interspersed with scenes of the artist in the hospital that same summer.
	The Milky Way Directed by Leo McCarey Starring Harold Lloyd, Adolphe Menjou, Verree Teasdale 1936 United States Duration: 1:28:18	Arguably the finest of Harold Lloyd’s sound features, this uproarious adaptation of the Broadway play of the same name casts the comedian as a mild-mannered Brooklyn milkman who, thanks to the machinations of a sleazy fight promoter (Adolphe Menjou), inadvertently becomes a middleweight boxing champion. A host of colorful supporting performances and veteran comedy director Leo McCarey’s expert sense of pace come together for a knockout screwball gem.

Gabriel Byrne brings a wry gravitas to the role of Tom Reagan, the quick-thinking right-hand man to a powerful crime boss (Albert Finney). Tom’s unflappable cool is tested when he begins offering his services to a rival outfit—setting off a cascade of betrayals, reprisals, and increasingly berserk violence. The Hopperesque visuals of cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld, majestically elegiac score by Carter Burwell, and vivid supporting performances from John Turturro and Marcia Gay Harden come together in a slice of pulp perfection that crackles with sardonic wit while plumbing existential questions about free will and our own terrifying capacity for evil.

	Miracles Directed by Jackie Chan Starring Jackie Chan, Anita Mui, Gua Ah-leh 1989 Hong Kong Duration: 2:08:07	Jackie Chan pays homage to classic Hollywood spectacle in this 1930s-set gangster-musical romp. An inspired reworking of a Damon Runyon story (previously filmed twice by Frank Capra as LADY FOR A DAY and POCKETFUL OF MIRACLES), MIRACLES stars Chan as a naive country boy who inadvertently rises to become the leader of a Hong Kong underworld empire, all while attempting to help a kindly but poor flower seller make her dreams come true.

With makeshift lighting and costuming, the men fabricate the apparition of Saint Dismas, whose appearance every Thursday night drums up publicity for the spa’s purportedly healing waters. But as the news spreads and tourism begins to spike, a mysterious outsider arrives in town, threatening to reveal the miracle as a hoax. Before its release, Luis García Berlanga’s cunning attack on the commercial exploitation of religion raised the ire of the censors, who forced the director to rewrite the film under the supervision of the Catholic Church.
	Mirror Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky Starring Margarita Terekhova, Filipp Yankovskiy, Ignat Daniltsev 1975 Soviet Union Duration: 1:46:59	A subtly ravishing passage through the halls of time and memory, this sublime reflection on twentieth-century Russian history by Andrei Tarkovsky (STALKER) is as much a poem composed in images, or a hypnagogic hallucination, as it is a work of cinema. In a richly textured collage of varying film stocks and newsreel footage, the recollections of a dying poet flash before our eyes, his dreams mingling with scenes of childhood, wartime, and marriage, all imbued with the mystical power of a trance. Largely dismissed by Soviet critics on its release because of its elusive narrative structure, MIRROR has since taken its place as one of the director’s most renowned and influential works, a stunning personal statement from an artist transmitting his innermost thoughts and feelings directly from psyche to screen.
	The Mirror Directed by Jafar Panahi Starring Mina Mohammad Khani, Aida Mohammadkhani, Kazem Mojdehi 1997 Iran Duration: 1:34:33	Iranian master Jafar Panahi explores the interplay of imagination and reality in this slyly inventive meta-film marvel.

	Miss Julie Directed by Alf Sjöberg Starring Anita Björk, Ulf Palme 1951 Sweden Duration: 1:30:05	Swedish filmmaker Alf Sjöberg’s visually innovative, Cannes Grand Prix-winning adaptation of August Strindberg’s renowned 1888 play brings to scalding life the excoriating words of the stage’s preeminent surveyor of all things rotten in the state of male-female relations. MISS JULIE vividly depicts the battle of the sexes and classes that ensues when a wealthy businessman’s daughter (Anita Björk, in a fiercely emotional performance) falls for her father’s bitter servant.

	Mister Johnson Directed by Bruce Beresford Starring Maynard Eziashi, Pierce Brosnan 1990 United States Duration: 1:41:28	A decade after he broke through with BREAKER MORANT, Australian director Bruce Beresford made another acclaimed film about the effects of colonialism on the individual. In a performance that earned him the Berlin Film Festival’s Silver Bear for best actor, Maynard Eziashi plays the title character, a Nigerian villager eager to work as a civil servant for the British authorities, including a sympathetic district officer (Pierce Brosnan), in the hope that it will benefit him in the future. Instead, his ambition leads to his tragic downfall.

	MnM Directed by Twiggy Pucci Garçon Starring Milan Garçon, Mermaid Garçon 2023 United States Duration: 14:49	MNM is an exuberant portrait of chosen sisters Mermaid and Milan, two emerging runway divas in the drag ballroom community.

	A Moment in Love Directed by Shirley Clarke 1956 United States Duration: 09:06	The recurring theme of dance once again works its way into a Shirley Clarke project, as this short film features a performance that takes place across a multitude of environments.

	The Moment of Truth Directed by Francesco Rosi 1965 Italy Duration: 1:47:29	THE MOMENT OF TRUTH (IL MOMENTO DELLA VERITÀ), from director Francesco Rosi, is a visceral plunge into the life of a famous torero—played by real-life bullfighting legend Miguel Mateo, known as Miguelín. Charting his rise and fall with a single-minded focus on the bloody business at hand, the film is at once gritty and operatic, placing the viewer right in the thick of the ring’s action, as close to death as possible. Like all of the great Italian truth seeker’s films, this is not just an electrifying drama but also a profound and moving inquiry into a violent world—and it’s perhaps the greatest bullfighting movie ever made.

But in Azazel Jacobs’s MOMMA’S MAN, what begins as a respite from adult responsibility becomes a premature midlife crisis as, reinstalled in a household crammed with two generations of bric-a-brac, Mikey begins to drift back to an awkward youth he never outgrew. Casting his own parents—artist Flo Jacobs and underground-film legend Ken Jacobs—as Mikey’s benevolent mother and father and shooting in his real-life childhood home, Azazel Jacobs crafts a funny, touching, and bracingly honest look at the pleasures and perils of yearning for the imperfect past.
	Mona Lisa Directed by Neil Jordan Starring Bob Hoskins, Cathy Tyson, Michael Caine 1986 United Kingdom Duration: 1:44:15	The brilliant breakthrough film by writer-director Neil Jordan journeys into the dark heart of the London underworld to weave a gripping, noir-infused love story. Bob Hoskins received a multitude of honors—including an Oscar nomination—for his touchingly vulnerable, not-so-tough-guy portrayal of George, recently released from prison and hired by a sinister mob boss (Michael Caine) to chauffeur call girl Simone (Cathy Tyson, in a celebrated performance) between high-paying clients. George’s fascination with the elegant, enigmatic Simone leads him on a dangerous quest through the city’s underbelly, where love is a weakness to be exploited and betrayed. Jordan’s colorful dialogue and eye for evocatively surreal details lend a dreamlike sheen to MONA LISA, an unconventionally romantic tale of damaged people searching for tenderness in an unforgiving world.

Under the influence of the charming younger man, Albert joins him on an epic, alcohol-fueled escapade.
	Mon oncle Directed by Jacques Tati Starring Jacques Tati, Jean-Pierre Zola, Adrienne Servantie 1958 France Duration: 1:56:22	Directed by Jacques Tati • 1958 • France, Italy Starring Jacques Tati, Jean-Pierre Zola, Adrienne Servantie Slapstick prevails again when Jacques Tati’s eccentric, old-fashioned hero, Monsieur Hulot, is set loose in Villa Arpel, the geometric, oppressively ultramodern home of his brother-in-law, and in the antiseptic plastic hose factory where he gets a job. The second Hulot movie and Tati’s first color film, MON ONCLE is a supremely amusing satire of mechanized living and consumer society that earned the director the Academy Award for best foreign-language film.
	Mon oncle Antoine Directed by Claude Jutra Starring Jean Duceppe, Jacques Gagnon, Oliviette Thibault 1971 Canada Duration: 1:44:47	Claude Jutra’s evocative portrait of a boy’s coming of age in wintry 1940s rural Quebec has been consistently cited by critics and scholars as the greatest Canadian film of all time. Delicate, naturalistic, and tinged with a striking mix of nostalgia and menace, MON ONCLE ANTOINE follows Benoit, as he first encounters the twin terrors of sex and death, and his fellow villagers, who are living under the thumb of the local asbestos mine owner. Set during one ominous Christmas, MON ONCLE ANTOINE is a holiday film unlike any other, and an authentically detailed illustration of childhood’s twilight.

	Monsieur Le Butch Directed by Jude Dry 2022 United States Duration: 12:09	When Jude ends up unexpectedly living at home in their thirties, they must deal with a lovingly opinionated Jewish mother who doesn’t quite get the whole “trans thing.” Shot in the dog days of quarantine during a picturesque Vermont summer, MONSIEUR LE BUTCH is a tender comedy about the line between the stories we tell ourselves and the stories that get told about us.
	Monsieur Verdoux Directed by Charles Chaplin Starring Charles Chaplin, Mady Correll 1947 United States Duration: 2:04:21	Charlie Chaplin plays shockingly against type in his most controversial film, a brilliant and bleak black comedy about money, marriage, and murder. Chaplin is a twentieth-century bluebeard, an enigmatic family man who goes to extreme lengths to support his wife and child, attempting to bump off a series of wealthy widows (including one played by the indefatigable Martha Raye, in a hilarious performance). This deeply philosophical and wildly entertaining film is a work of true sophistication, both for the moral questions it dares to ask and for the way it deconstructs its megastar’s lovable on-screen persona.
	Monterey Pop Directed by D. A. Pennebaker 1968 United States Duration: 1:19:26	On a beautiful June weekend in 1967, at the beginning of the Summer of Love, the Monterey International Pop Festival roared forward, capturing a decade’s spirit and ushering in a new era of rock and roll. Monterey featured career-making performances by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Otis Redding, but they were just a few of the performers in a wildly diverse lineup that included Simon and Garfunkel, the Mamas and the Papas, the Who, the Byrds, Hugh Masekela, and the extraordinary Ravi Shankar. With his characteristic vérité style—and a camera crew that included the likes of Albert Maysles and Richard Leacock—D. A. Pennebaker captured it all, immortalizing moments that have become legend: Pete Townshend smashing his guitar, Jimi Hendrix burning his, Mama Cass watching Janis Joplin’s performance in awe.
	Moonbird Directed by John Hubley 1959 United States Duration: 10:14	John and Faith Hubley recorded a conversation between their young sons and set it to animated visuals to create this charming, Academy Award–winning adventure in which two boys set out on a late-night quest to capture a bird.

Though informed by Ozu’s singular take on familial relationships, THE MOON HAS RISEN also possesses Tanaka’s lively and elegant comedic sensibility in its depiction of a widower (Chishu Ryu) who lives with his three daughters (Hisako Yamane, Yoko Sugi, and Mie Kitahara). As several young men court the women, their father is forced to confront—with amusing bewilderment—Japanese society’s rapidly evolving mores.

Celebrated writer John O’Hara furnished the script, while Charles G. Clarke earned an Oscar nomination for his moody cinematography.

	Morning for the Osone Family Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita 1946 Japan Duration: 1:21:10	Kinoshita's first film after the end of World War II is a wrenching, superbly wrought tale about a liberal-minded Japanese family torn apart by war and imperialist politics. Morning for the Osone Family is both palpably bitter about the nation's fresh wartime wounds and inspiringly hopeful about a democratic tomorrow.
	Mosonngoa Directed by Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese Starring Siphiwe Nzima-Ntskhe, Masele Tokane, Chaka Phehlamarole Khalechene 2014 Lesotho Duration: 22:59	Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese made this narrative short film in 2014, inspired by the real-life legend of Lesotho’s only known female stick fighter.

	The Most Beautiful Directed by Akira Kurosawa 1944 Japan Duration: 1:25:36	This portrait of female volunteer workers at an optics plant during World War II, shot on location at the Nippon Kogaku factory, was created with a patriotic agenda. Yet thanks to Akira Kurosawa's groundbreaking semidocumentary approach, The Most Beautiful is a revealing look at Japanese women of the era and anticipates the aesthetics of Japanese cinema's postwar social realism.
	The Most Dangerous Game Directed by Ernest B. Schoedsack… Starring Joel McCrea, Fay Wray, Leslie Banks 1932 United States Duration: 1:02:59	One of the best and most literate movies from the great days of horror, THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME stars Leslie Banks as a big-game hunter with a taste for the world’s most exotic prey, his houseguests, played by Fay Wray and Joel McCrea.

	Mother Directed by Mikio Naruse Starring Kinuyo Tanaka, Kyoko Kagawa, Eiji Okada 1952 Japan Duration: 1:38:23	Rather more upbeat (and at times even lighthearted) than the transcendentally tragic melodramas he is best known for, Mikio Naruse’s bittersweet family portrait features a quietly masterful performance from Kinuyo Tanaka (who later became a great director in her own right) as a fiercely resourceful mother in postwar Japan weathering everyday hardships as she works to provide a decent life for her four children. Told from the point of view of the family’s teenage daughter (Kyoko Kagawa), MOTHER offers a convincingly realistic evocation of a young woman’s perspective as she experiences joy and heartbreak in equal measure.
	The Mother and the Whore Directed by Jean Eustache Starring Jean-Pierre Léaud, Françoise Lebrun, Isabelle Weingarten 1973 France Duration: 3:39:14	After the French New Wave, the sexual revolution, and May 1968 came THE MOTHER AND THE WHORE, the legendary, autobiographical magnum opus by Jean Eustache that captures, through the microcosm of a ménage à trois, a disillusioned generation navigating the 1970s. The aimless, clueless Parisian pseudo-intellectual Alexandre (Jean-Pierre Léaud) lives with his tempestuous older girlfriend, Marie (Bernadette Lafont), and begins a dalliance with the younger, sexually liberated Veronika (Françoise Lebrun, Eustache’s own former lover), leading to a volatile open relationship marked by everyday emotional violence and subtle but catastrophic shifts in power dynamics. Transmitting his own sex life to the screen with a startling immediacy, Eustache achieves an intimacy so deep, it cuts.

Exploring the links between land, history, and spirituality, this stunningly assured vision announces the arrival of a major filmmaker.
	Mother Küsters Goes to Heaven Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder Starring Brigitte Mira, Ingrid Caven, Margit Cartensen 1975 West Germany Duration: 1:57:54	One of director Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s most provocative (the Berlin Film Festival banned it) variations on the Sirkian melodrama takes subversive, darkly comic aim at the media, politics (both right and left), and family. After her factory-worker husband kills his boss and himself in reaction to a round of layoffs, working-class housewife Emma Küsters (Brigitte Mira) finds herself the unwitting center of a media firestorm while both members of the German Communist party and then a group of anarchists attempt to use her as a symbol of their cause. As always, Fassbinder concerns himself with the dynamics of power and exploitation to paint a damning portrait of a corrupt and alienated society.
	A Mother Should Be Loved Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Starring Mitsuko Yoshikawa, Yukichi Iwata, Den Ohinata 1934 Japan Duration: 1:13:31	Despite its missing first and last reels, this sensitive domestic drama remains a key work in the refinement of director Yasujiro Ozu’s style in its intimate focus on family dynamics. Following the death of the Kajiwara family patriarch, secrets and revelations rock the lives of his widow (Mitsuko Yoshikawa) and two sons as they attempt to come to terms with their fractured relationships. Ozu, whose own father died during the making of the film, noted its personal connection to his own life. (Presented without score.)

	Mouchette Directed by Robert Bresson Starring Nadine Nortier, Jean-Claude Guilbert, Marie Cardinal 1967 France Duration: 1:21:43	Robert Bresson plumbs great reservoirs of feeling with MOUCHETTE, one of the most searing portraits of human desperation ever put on film. Faced with a dying mother, an absent, alcoholic father, and a baby brother in need of care, the teenage Mouchette seeks solace in nature and daily routine, a respite from her economic and pubescent turmoil. An essential work of French filmmaking, Bresson’s hugely empathetic drama elevates its trapped protagonist into one of the cinema’s great tragic figures.
	A Movement Against the Transparency of the Stars of the Seas Directed by Esy Casey 2023 Philippines Duration: 30:22	In this contemplation on the meanings of movement in the experience of migration, the grace and skill of a Filipina domestic worker are juxtaposed with devotional dances to the Santo Niño statue that Magellan brought to the islands in 1521. The ensuing galleon trade of silk and porcelain for New World silver initiated the global economy, and the cycle in which female care labor is now the commodity in demand.
	Movie Crazy Directed by Clyde Bruckman Starring Harold Lloyd, Constance Cummings, Kenneth Thomson 1932 United States Duration: 1:36:31	Clumsy Harold Hall (Harold Lloyd) is a young movie fan with a burning desire to be in pictures—but no real acting experience or ability. A mix-up in the casting office, however, brings him one step closer to his dream of stardom when he’s invited to make a screen test in Hollywood—where he proceeds to wreak hilarious havoc all across the studio backlot. Lloyd’s third talkie became his most commercially successful thanks to the clever use of sound and ingenious gags conceived in part by “Nancy” cartoonist Ernie Bushmiller.
	MR. ARKADIN: The Comprehensive Version Directed by Orson Welles Starring Orson Welles, Paola Mori, Robert Arden 1955 France	Orson Welles’s MR. ARKADIN (a.k.a. CONFIDENTIAL REPORT) tells the story of an elusive billionaire who hires an American smuggler to investigate his past, leading to a dizzying descent into a cold-war European landscape. The film’s history is also marked by this vertigo. This version is new, and represents a “best guess” approach by film historians and archivists Stefan Drössler and Claude Bertemes. It follows Welles’s later statements, style, and continuity clues, and includes as much existing footage as possible.
	MR. ARKADIN: The Corinth Version Directed by Orson Welles Starring Orson Welles, Paola Mori, Robert Arden 1955 France	Orson Welles’s MR. ARKADIN (a.k.a. CONFIDENTIAL REPORT) tells the story of an elusive billionaire who hires an American smuggler to investigate his past, leading to a dizzying descent into a cold-war European landscape.

This cut is known as the Corinth version and was unearthed by filmmaker-writer Peter Bogdanovich (“This Is Orson Welles,” 1992), in the early 1960s, in the vaults of film distributors M&A Alexander. Based on statements made by Welles and editor Renzo Lucidi, the Corinth version is thought to be the latest extant version to have been under Welles’s control.
	Mr. Freedom Directed by William Klein 1969 France Duration: 1:31:59	William Klein moved into more blatantly political territory with this hilarious, vicious Vietnam-era lampoon of imperialist American foreign policy. Mr. Freedom (John Abbey), a bellowing good-ol'-boy superhero decked out in copious football padding, jets to France to cut off a Commie invasion from Switzerland. A destructive, arrogant patriot in tight pants, Freedom joins forces with Marie Madeleine (a satirically sexy Delphine Seyrig) to combat lefty freethinkers, as well as the insidious evildoers Moujik Man and inflatable Red China Man, culminating in a star-spangled showdown of kitschy excess. Delightfully crass, Mr. Freedom is a trenchant, rib-tickling takedown of gaudy modern Americana.
	Mr. Klein Directed by Joseph Losey Starring Alain Delon, Jeanne Moreau, Francine Bergé 1976 France Duration: 2:03:59	Neglected for decades, this chilling existentialist mystery has reemerged as one of director Joseph Losey’s most virtuosic works. In perhaps the finest performance of his career, Alain Delon stars as the wealthy Robert Klein, an amoral art dealer in Nazi-occupied Paris who exploits the persecution of his Jewish countrymen by buying and selling their paintings. When Klein is mistaken for a Jewish man of the same name, he is plunged into a labyrinthine identity crisis with life-or-death consequences. Through his moody, mesmerizing visual style, Losey weaves a Kafkaesque web of steadily mounting paranoia.
	Mr. Thank You Directed by Hiroshi Shimizu 1936 Japan Duration: 1:16:06	Hiroshi Shimizu's endearing road movie follows the long and winding route of a sweet-natured bus driver, nicknamed Mr. Thank You for his constant exclamation to pedestrians who kindly step out of his way, traveling from rural Izu to Tokyo.

	Mr. Vampire Directed by Ricky Lau Starring Lam Ching-Ying, Ricky Hui, Chin Siu-Ho 1985 Hong Kong Duration: 1:39:43	The film that, along with producer Sammo Hung’s SPOOKY ENCOUNTERS, launched an entire hopping-vampire horror-comedy subgenre is Hong Kong cinema at its most gleefully inventive and gloriously unrestrained. The franchise’s recurring star Lam Ching-Ying plays a unibrowed Taoist priest who, when a bloodthirsty revivified corpse pogoes its way out of the grave and begins terrorizing his town, must use a mix of magic and kung fu to stop the mayhem. Unfortunately, his two bumbling assistants (Ricky Hui and Chin Siu-Ho) cause nearly as much trouble as the bouncing bloodsucker.
	Mr. Vampire II Directed by Ricky Lau Starring Lam Ching-Ying, Yuen Biao, Moon Lee Choi-Fung 1986 Hong Kong Duration: 1:30:02	The first of the numerous sequels to follow in the wake of the blockbuster success of MR. VAMPIRE puts a fresh twist on the hopping-vampire mythology by bringing the bounding baddies into the present day. Here, supernatural hijinks ensue when an archaeologist inadvertently awakens an ancient vampire family, sending the revivified mom, dad, and son on a rip-roaring rampage—with much hilarity provided by the epic, slow-motion centerpiece fight sequence. Lam Ching-Ying returns as the chief vampire slayer, alongside a cast that includes HK cinema greats Yuen Biao and James Tien.
	Mr. Vampire III Directed by Ricky Lau Starring Lam Ching-Ying, Richard Ng, Billy Lau 1987 Hong Kong Duration: 1:33:12	The third installment of the unstoppable MR. VAMPIRE series offers up some of the wildest gags and most eye-popping action in the entire franchise. This time around, we follow the exploits of charlatan ghost hunter Uncle Ming (Richard Ng), who makes money performing phony exorcisms with the help of his two spirit companions. He’ll have to summon real powers, though, to deal with an evil witch (Pauline Wong Yuk-Wan) whose supernatural bandits are terrorizing a village. A deep-fried ghost, maggot-spewing sorceresses, full-frontal Richard Ng nudity, and a Sammo Hung cameo are all part of the nonstop, endlessly inventive fun.
	Mr. Vampire IV Directed by Ricky Lau Starring Wu Ma, Loletta Lee, Chin Ka-Lok 1988 Hong Kong Duration: 1:34:27	The fourth MR. VAMPIRE film may just be the most gloriously goofy of the bunch—and that’s saying something. Leaning heavily into the unrepentantly silly comedy that always made the series so much fun, this installment brings us a pair of neighboring priests—one Taoist (Anthony Chan), one Buddhist (Wu Ma)—who must put aside their constant feuding in order to take on a horde of hopping vampire invaders. Though it is the only installment in the series not to feature regular star Lam Ching-Ying, MR. VAMPIRE IV delivers more than enough zany-spooky pleasures to make it yet another worthy follow-up.

Here, Audrey is launched on a surprising odyssey when she travels to Harvard’s Houghton Library to read the archived letters that her great-grandmother, Zofia Bohdanowiczowa, exchanged with fellow Polish poet Jozef Wittlin between 1957 and 1964. As she digs into the past, Audrey encounters resistance both institutional and familial while grappling with her own precarious present reality.

Matsu helps an injured boy, Toshio, and is hired by the boy's parents, Kotaro and Yoshioko, to transport the boy to and from doctor appointments. Matsu comes to love the boy and his parents. When Toshio's father dies, Matsu becomes a surrogate father, helping to raise the boy and secretly falling in love with Toshio's mother Yoshioko.

	Multiple Maniacs Directed by John Waters Starring Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce 1970 United States Duration: 1:36:39	Directed by John Waters • 1970 • United States Starring Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce The gloriously grotesque second feature directed by John Waters is replete with all manner of depravity, from robbery to murder to one of cinema’s most memorably blasphemous moments. Made on a shoestring budget in Waters’ native Baltimore, with the filmmaker taking on nearly every technical task, this gleeful mockery of the peace-and-love ethos of its era features the Cavalcade of Perversion, a traveling show mounted by a troupe of misfits whose shocking proclivities are topped only by those of their leader: the glammer-than-glam, larger-than-life Divine, out for blood after discovering her lover’s affair. Starring Waters’ beloved regular cast the Dreamlanders (including David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole, Susan Lowe, George Figgs, and Cookie Mueller), MULTIPLE MANIACS is an anarchic masterwork from an artist who has doggedly tested the limits of good taste for decades.
	The Munekata Sisters Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Starring Kinuyo Tanaka, Hideko Takamine, Ken Uehara 1950 Japan Duration: 1:52:30	Japanese golden-age greats Kinuyo Tanaka and Hideko Takamine star in this rich melodrama centered on two sisters: the reserved, traditional Setsuko (Tanaka), unhappily married to an alcoholic wastrel, and the liberated, modern-minded Mariko (Takamine), who tries to shake up her sister’s life by reconnecting her with her old flame (Ken Uehara). Working outside his usual home studio of Shochiku for the first time at rival Shintoho gives director Yasujiro Ozu’s familiar themes a new flavor.
	Murder Directed by Roman Polanski 1957 Poland Duration: 01:33	The following is the first complete student short Roman Polanski made at the State Film School in Lodz, Poland. A story told in almost total darkness and in one room, the film introduces themes the director has revisited throughout his career.
	Murder by Contract Directed by Irving Lerner Starring Vince Edwards, Phillip Pine, Herschel Bernardi 1958 United States Duration: 1:20:29	Vince Edwards stars as a hired assassin whose latest “assignment” (Caprice Toriel) is about to testify against the mob. But this particular target is not so easy to get at. So he waits . . . and waiting gives the assassin what he needs least: time to think. Cited by Martin Scorsese as a B-movie favorite, MURDER BY CONTRACT has lean, efficient direction by Irving Lerner (CITY OF FEAR), complemented by the stark black-and-white cinematography of Lucien Ballard (THE WILD BUNCH).
	Muriel, or The Time of Return Directed by Alain Resnais Starring Delphine Seyrig, Jean-Pierre Kérien, Nita Klein 1963 France Duration: 1:56:33	Alain Resnais's MURIEL, OR THE TIME OF RETURN, the director's follow-up to LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD, is as radical a reflection on the nature of time and memory as its predecessor. The always luminous Delphine Seyrig stars as an antique shop owner and widow in Boulogne-sur-Mer, whose past comes back to haunt her when a former lover reenters her life. Meanwhile, her stepson is tormented by his own ghosts, related to his service in France's recently ended war in Algeria. Featuring a multilayered script by Jean Cayrol and inventively edited to evoke its middle-class characters' political and personal realities, the fragmented, emotionally powerful MURIEL reminds viewers that the past is always present.
	Murmur of the Heart Directed by Louis Malle Starring Benoît Ferreux, Lea Massari, Daniel Gélin 1971 France Duration: 1:58:20	Louis Malle’s critically acclaimed MURMUR OF THE HEART gracefully combines elements of comedy, drama, and autobiography in a candid portrait of a precocious adolescent boy’s sexual maturation. Both shocking and deeply poignant, this is one of the finest coming-of-age films ever made.
	Mur Murs Directed by Agnès Varda 1981 France Duration: 1:22:17	After returning to Los Angeles from France in 1979, Agnès Varda created this kaleidoscopic documentary about the striking murals that decorate the city. Bursting with color and vitality, MUR MURS is as much an invigorating study of community and diversity as it is an essential catalog of unusual public art. Restored by the Cineteca di Bologna at L’Immagine Ritrovata in association with Ciné-Tamaris and The Film Foundation. Restoration funding provided by the Annenberg Foundation, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and The Film Foundation.
	The Musicians Directed by Kazimierz Karabasz 1960 Poland Duration: 10:44	Presented here is THE MUSICIANS, by Kazimierz Karabasz. Karabasz was a teacher at the Lodz Film School, where director Krzysztof Kieślowski studied, and a great influence on the young filmmaker.
	The Music Room Directed by Satyajit Ray Starring Chhabi Biswas, Padma Devi, Pinaki Sen Gupta 1958 India Duration: 1:38:52	With THE MUSIC ROOM (JALSAGHAR), Satyajit Ray brilliantly evokes the crumbling opulence of the world of a fallen aristocrat (the beloved actor Chhabi Biswas) desperately clinging to a fading way of life. His greatest joy is the music room in which he has hosted lavish concerts over the years—now a shadow of its former vivid self. An incandescent depiction of the clash between tradition and modernity, and a showcase for some of India’s most popular musicians of the day, THE MUSIC ROOM is a defining work by the great Bengali filmmaker.
	Mutts Directed by Halima Ouardiri 2019 Canada Duration: 18:19	A dystopian plunge into an enormous Moroccan dog shelter teeming with hundreds of strays doubles as a haunting commentary on poverty and the plight of refugees.
	Mutual Native Duplex Directed by Ulysses Jenkins 1990 United States Duration: 12:09	The second installment of Ulysses Jenkins’s VIDEO GRIOTS TRILOGY—a series of video meditations on history and culture in the which the filmmaker uses archival footage, photographs, image processing, and an elegiac soundtrack to construct an “other” history—MUTUAL NATIVE DUPLEX explores the mutual alliances between Native and African Americans and celebrates the “neo-American model” of intercultural cooperation that grew out of these encounters.
	My American Uncle Directed by Alain Resnais Starring Gérard Depardieu, Nicole Garcia, Roger Pierre 1980 France Duration: 2:06:43	MY AMERICAN UNCLE (a.k.a. MON ONCLE D’AMERIQUE) is unique in cinema—one of the oddest movies ever to emerge from the hand of director Alain Resnais, and also perhaps his most popular, steeped in elements of popular culture, social critique, and behavioral psychology, yet accessible enough to have achieved mass popularity, not only in France (where it won six Cesar Awards—their equivalent of the Oscar) but also in America. A trio of people (Gérard Depardieu, Nicole Garcia, Roger Pierre) are presented as “case histories” by a lecturer—and we see them not only in their work environments, but also in terms of the cinematic role models (Jean Gabin, Jean Marais, Danielle Darrieux) that have helped shape their self-images.
	My Architect Directed by Nathaniel Kahn 2003 United States Duration: 1:56:00	Louis I. Kahn, who died in 1974, was one of the greatest architects of the twentieth century, but he left behind an illegitimate son, Nathaniel, and a personal life of secrets and broken promises. MY ARCHITECT takes us on a heartbreaking yet humorous journey as Nathaniel attempts to reconnect with his deceased father. The riveting narrative takes us from the men’s room in Penn Station, where Kahn died bankrupt and alone, to the bustling streets of Bangladesh, the inner sanctums of Jerusalem politics, and unforgettable encounters with the world’s most celebrated architects. In a documentary with all the emotional impact of a dramatic feature film, Nathaniel’s journey becomes a universal investigation of identity—and a celebration of art and, ultimately, life itself.
	My Brilliant Career Directed by Gillian Armstrong Starring Judy Davis, Sam Neill 1979 Australia Duration: 1:40:15	Directed by Gillian Armstrong • 1979 • Australia Starring Judy Davis, Sam Neill For her award-winning breakthrough film, director Gillian Armstrong drew on teenage author Miles Franklin’s novel, a celebrated turn-of-the-twentieth-century Australian coming-of-age story, to brashly upend the conventions of period romance. Headstrong young Sybylla Melvyn (Judy Davis, in a star-making performance), bemoans her stifling life in the backcountry, where her writerly ambitions receive little encouragement, and craves independence above all else. When a handsome landowner (Sam Neill), disarmed by her unruly charms, begins to court her, Sybylla must decide whether she can reconcile the prospect of marriage with the illustrious life’s work she has imagined for herself. Suffused with generous humor and a youthful appetite for experience, MY BRILLIANT CAREER is a luminous portrait of an ardently free spirit.
	My Brother’s Wedding Directed by Charles Burnett Starring Everett Silas, Jessie Holmes, Gaye Shannon-Burnett 1983 United States Duration: 1:20:36	Recut and restored twenty-five years after its ill-fated premiere, Charles Burnett’s second feature is an eye-opening revelation—wise, funny, heartbreaking, and timeless. Pierce Mundy works at his parents’ South Central dry cleaners with no prospects for the future and his childhood buddies in prison or dead. With his best friend just getting out of jail and his brother busy planning a wedding to a snooty upper-middle-class black woman, Pierce navigates his conflicting obligations while trying to figure out what he really wants in life.
	My Crasy Life Directed by Jean-Pierre Gorin 1992 United States Duration: 1:38:16	Jean-Pierre Gorin's gripping and unique film about a Samoan street gang in Long Beach, California, is, like other works by the filmmaker, a probing look at a closed community with its own rules, rituals, and language. Part observational documentary, part fiction invisibly scripted and shaped by the director, My Crasy Life, which won a special jury prize at Sundance, is an enthralling and intensely focused contemplation of violence and dislocation.
	My Dad Is 100 Years Old Directed by Guy Maddin Starring Isabella Rossellini 2005 Canada Duration: 17:49	Guy Maddin’s centenary tribute to Roberto Rossellini stars the great neorealist filmmaker’s daughter, Isabella Rossellini.
	My Dinner with André Directed by Louis Malle Starring Wallace Shawn, André Gregory 1981 United States Duration: 1:51:39	In this captivating and philosophical film directed by Louis Malle, actor and playwright Wallace Shawn sits down with his friend the theater director André Gregory at a restaurant on New York’s Upper West Side, and the pair proceed through an alternately whimsical and despairing confessional about love, death, money, and all the superstition in between. Playing variations on their own New York–honed personas, Shawn and Gregory, who also cowrote the screenplay, dive in with introspective intellectual gusto, and Malle captures it all with a delicate, artful detachment. A fascinating freeze-frame of cosmopolitan culture, MY DINNER WITH ANDRÉ remains a unique work in cinema history.
	my favorite software is being here Directed by Alison Nguyen 2021 United States Duration: 19:51	This video work by visual artist Alison Nguyen centers on a computer-generated woman raised by the Internet in isolation in a virtual void. From the apartment where she has been placed, Andra8 works as a digital laborer, surviving off the data from her various freemium jobs as a virtual assistant, a data janitor, a life coach, and a content creator. As she multitasks throughout the day, Andra8 is monitored, finding herself overwhelmed by a web of global client demands. Something begins to trouble Andra8: her life depends on her compulsory consumption and output of human data—or so she’s been told. Andra8 explores the implications of such an existence, and what arises when one attempts to subvert them.
	My Heart Is That Eternal Rose Directed by Patrick Tam Kar-Ming Starring Kenny Bee, Joey Wong, Tony Leung Chiu-wai 1989 Hong Kong Duration: 1:31:02	Patrick Tam, perhaps the Hong Kong New Wave’s most daring modernist and a crucial influence on Wong Kar Wai, teams with cinematographer Christopher Doyle, a regular Wong collaborator, for a stylish “heroic bloodshed” melodrama starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Kenny Bee, and Joey Wong as three friends bound together by ties both criminal and romantic. With deliriously pulpy plotting, a synth-heavy score, luxuriously expressionistic imagery, and a climactic bloodbath for the ages, MY HEART IS THAT ETERNAL ROSE exists somewhere at the intersection of Wong’s cinema of longing and John Woo’s cinema of wrathful vengeance, standing as one of the high-water marks of Hong Kong crime cinema.
	My Home Is Copacabana Directed by Arne Sucksdorff 1965 Sweden Duration: 1:28:36	Four homeless orphans struggle to survive in Rio de Janiero's slums.
	My Life as a Dog Directed by Lasse Hallström Starring Anton Glanzelius, Tomas von Brömssen, Anki Liden 1985 Sweden Duration: 1:41:38	MY LIFE AS A DOG (MITT LIV SOM HUND) tells the story of Ingemar, a twelve-year-old from a working-class family sent to live with his uncle in a country village when his mother falls ill. There, with the help of the warmhearted eccentrics who populate the town, the boy finds both refuge from his misfortunes and unexpected adventure. Featuring an incredibly mature and unaffected performance by the young Anton Glanzelius, this film is a beloved and bittersweet evocation of the struggles and joys of childhood from Oscar-nominated director Lasse Hallström.
	My Life as a Zucchini Directed by Claude Barras Starring Gaspard Schlatter, Sixtine Murat, Paulin Jaccoud 2016 France Duration: 1:07:20	After his mother’s sudden death, Icare, a young boy nicknamed Courgette, is befriended by a police officer, Raymond, who accompanies him to his new foster home, filled with other orphans his age. At first Courgette struggles to find his place in this at times strange and hostile environment. But with Raymond’s help and his newfound friends, he eventually learns to trust and love, as he searches for a new family of his own. Based on a script from acclaimed writer/director Céline Sciamma (GIRLHOOD, TOMBOY) and brought to life through expressive stop-motion animation, this deeply tender, affecting testament to the resilience of the human heart soars with laughter, sorrow, and joy.
	My Little Loves Directed by Jean Eustache Starring Ingrid Caven, Henri Martinez, Martin Loeb 1974 France Duration: 2:04:02	Jean Eustache’s second and final narrative feature, MY LITTLE LOVES, follows Daniel (Martin Loeb) as he navigates the bewildering world of early adolescence. Living with his grandmother (Jacqueline Dufranne) in a sleepy village outside Bordeaux, Daniel enjoys a carefree existence with his similarly innocent, though often mischievous, peers. But when his mother (Ingrid Caven) arrives and relocates him to Narbonne, Daniel is prematurely thrust into adulthood: pulled out of school, he is forced to work for a surly mechanic and, left to his own devices, falls in with an older crowd that is far more experienced in dating and sex. Featuring a wonderfully nuanced performance by Loeb, MY LITTLE LOVES is a coming-of-age gem surpassed only by Eustache’s own earlier masterpiece, THE MOTHER AND THE WHORE.
	My Lucky Stars Directed by Sammo Hung Starring Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao 1985 Hong Kong Duration: 1:37:15	Longtime friends Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao—who had worked together since childhood as part of a Beijing opera troupe—join forces for this rollicking blend of action thrills and lunatic humor, which sees Chan’s undercover agent recruiting his band of outlaw buddies to travel to Japan in order to help him catch a rogue cop who has stolen millions in jewels. Though not the main star, Chan lights up the screen in the film’s most exhilarating set pieces: a kinetic amusement-park-set opening and a surreal haunted-house finale, both stylishly and creatively staged by director-star Hung.
	My Mother Resents Me Directed by Victoria Linares Villegas 2019 Dominican Republic Duration: 06:50	Victoria, an only daughter, tries to decipher her mother’s resentment toward her by parsing old photographs and new footage.

	My Night at Maud’s Directed by Eric Rohmer Starring Jean-Louis Trintignant, Marie-Christine Barrault, Françoise Fabian 1969 France Duration: 1:51:06	In MY NIGHT AT MAUD’s, the brilliantly accomplished centerpiece of the Six Moral Tales series, Jean-Louis Trintignant plays Jean-Louis, one of the great conflicted figures of 1960s cinema.

	My One and Only Love Directed by Youssef Chahine 1957 Egypt Duration: 1:53:55	One of the funniest and most beloved of all Egyptian film musicals, MY ONE AND ONLY LOVE shows off director Youssef Chahine’s lighter side as a supreme entertainer, reuniting popular singing stars Shadia and Farid El-Atrash (who previously appeared together in Chahine’s FAREWELL MY LOVE) for a sparkling, tune-filled romance. They play a young couple who agree to an arranged marriage in order to receive an uncle’s inheritance. While they initially plan to split up right after collecting the money, they gradually find themselves developing real feelings for each other during the course of a surprising honeymoon. The film features one of Chahine’s most dazzling supporting casts, including CAIRO STATION star Hind Rostom.
	My Sex Life . . . or How I Got into an Argument Directed by Arnaud Desplechin Starring Mathieu Amalric, Emmanuelle Devos, Marianne Denicourt 1996 France Duration: 3:00:53	Arnaud Desplechin was heralded as a leading light of post–New Wave French cinema for this rich, sprawling look at the intertwining love lives of a coterie of Parisian academics. In a breakout performance that won him a César Award for most promising actor, Mathieu Amalric stars as Paul Dedalus, a hopelessly self-absorbed graduate student ping-ponging between lovers as he struggles to complete his thesis and break things off once and for all with his longtime girlfriend (Emmanuelle Devos). Desplechin’s sophisticated dialogue and brash stylistic inventiveness infuse the romantic-comedy premise with newfound freshness and depth.
	The Mysterians Directed by Ishiro Honda Starring Kenji Sahara, Yumi Shirakawa, Akihiko Hirata 1957 Japan Duration: 1:28:54	Comic-book colors and charmingly retro, space-age special effects are among the highlights of this pure-pleasure science-fiction fantasia in which a band of aliens arrive on Earth seemingly in peace. But what’s with the giant robot wreaking havoc across Japan? Are the aliens friends, or a foe who must be vanquished? Legendary director Ishiro Honda selected THE MYSTERIANS as his personal favorite among his own films.
	Mysterious Object at Noon Directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul Starring Duangjai Hiransri, Somsri Pinyopol, Kannikar Narong 2000 Thailand Duration: 1:29:44	Directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul • 2000 • Thailand Starring Duangjai Hiransri, Somsri Pinyopol, Kannikar Narong Apichatpong Weerasethakul brought an appetite for experimentation to Thai cinema with his debut feature, an uncategorizable work that refracts documentary impressions of his homeland through the surrealist concept of the exquisite corpse game. Enlisting locals to contribute improvised narration to a simple tale, Apichatpong charts the collective construction of the fiction as each new encounter imbues it with unpredictable shades of fantasy and pathos. Shot over the course of two years in 16 mm black and white, MYSTERIOUS OBJECT AT NOON established the director’s fascination with the porous boundaries between the real and the imagined. Restored in 2013 by the Austrian Film Museum and the Cineteca di Bologna/L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory, in association with The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project, LISTO laboratory in Vienna, Technicolor Ltd. in Bangkok, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Restoration funded by Doha Film Institute.
	The Mystery of Picasso Directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot Starring Pablo Picasso 1956 France Duration: 1:18:25	In 1955, Henri-Georges Clouzot joined forces with his friend Pablo Picasso to make an entirely new kind of art film, “a film that could capture the moment and the mystery of creativity.” Together, they devised an innovative technique: the filmmaker placed his camera behind a semitransparent surface on which the artist drew with special inks that bled through. Clouzot thus captured a perfect reverse image of Picasso’s brushstrokes, turning the motion-picture screen into the artist’s canvas. Here, the master creates, and sometimes obliterates, twenty works (most of them, in fact, destroyed after the shoot), ranging from playful black-and-white sketches to vivid color murals. Exhilarating, mesmerizing, enchanting, and unforgettable, THE MYSTERY OF PICASSO is simply one of the greatest documentaries on art ever made.
	Mystery Train Directed by Jim Jarmusch Starring Masatoshi Nagase, Youki Kudoh, Nicoletta Braschi 1989 United States Duration: 1:50:30	Aloof teenage Japanese tourists, a frazzled Italian widow, and a disgruntled British immigrant all converge in the city of dreams—which, in MYSTERY TRAIN, from Jim Jarmusch, is Memphis. Made with its director’s customary precision and wit, this triptych of stories pays playful tribute to the home of Stax Records, Sun Studio, Graceland, Carl Perkins, and, of course, the King, who presides over the film like a spirit. MYSTERY TRAIN is one of Jarmusch’s very best movies, a boozy and beautiful pilgrimage to an iconic American ghost town and a paean to the music it gave the world.
	My Two Voices Directed by Lina Rodriguez Starring Ana Garay Kostic, Claudia Montoya, Marinela Piedrahita 2022 Canada Duration: 1:08:12	A poetic exploration of the fluid nature of identity, MY TWO VOICES introduces us to Ana, Claudia, and Marinela, three Latin American women who share their intimate experiences of immigrating to Canada while reflecting on themes of violence, belonging, motherhood, and reconciliation. Weaving together carefully framed close-ups of hands and faces with contemplative images of private and public spaces against a richly layered soundscape, this unique documentary from acclaimed director Lina Rodriguez creates an impressionistic tapestry that resists a centralized perspective and echoes the protagonists’ fragmented and hybrid identities.
	Nacional III Directed by Luis García Berlanga Starring Luis Escobar, Luis Ciges, Agustín González 1982 Spain Duration: 1:44:01	The third installment in Luis García Berlanga’s trilogy about the (mis)fortunes of the once wealthy, now destitute Leguineche family follows the Marquis of Leguineche (Luis Escobar) as he is forced to sell his palace in Madrid and move in with his son.

	Nadine Nortier Directed by Gillian Garcia Starring Nikki Burnett, Keiolani Mahinan, Luna Dyer 2022 United States Duration: 13:39	Three street-cast actors perform Mouchette’s gestures with unwitting knowledge of Robert Bresson or his 1967 film, which starred Nadine Nortier as the title character. What emerges is a series of portraits of the girls, who, in their final gestures, hum the notes of their own spontaneous music.

	Nagano ’98 Olympics: Stories of Honor and Glory Directed by Bud Greenspan 1998 United States Duration: 1:58:58	In his documentary, NAGANO '98 OLYMPICS: STORIES OF HONOR AND GLORY, Bud Greenspan and his crew lay considerable emphasis, as always, on talking with the competitors. Greenspan's method does lead to some repetition, but there is something so engaging about the filmmaker's passion for sports that makes all his documentaries compelling. One feels that his ideals match those of the Olympic Games. He likes winners but also gallant losers. He unearths excellent archival footage, which gives depth and background to an athlete's current performance.
	Naked Directed by Mike Leigh Starring David Thewlis, Lesley Sharpe, Katrin Cartlidge 1993 United Kingdom Duration: 2:11:59	The brilliant and controversial NAKED, from director Mike Leigh, stars David Thewlis as Johnny, a charming and eloquent but relentlessly vicious drifter. Rejecting anyone who might care for him, the volcanic Johnny hurls himself around London on a nocturnal odyssey, colliding with a succession of other desperate and dispossessed people and scorching everyone in his path. With a virtuoso script and raw performances from Thewlis and costars Katrin Cartlidge and Lesley Sharp, Leigh’s depiction of England’s underbelly is an amalgam of black comedy and doomsday prophecy that took the best director and best actor prizes at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival.
	The Naked City Directed by Jules Dassin Starring Barry Fitzgerald, Howard Duff, Dorothy Hart 1948 United States Duration: 1:38:48	“There are eight million stories in the Naked City,” as the narrator immortally states at the close of this breathtakingly vivid film and this is one of them. Master noir craftsman Jules Dassin and newspaperman-cum-producer Mark Hellinger’s dazzling police procedural, THE NAKED CITY, was shot entirely on location in New York. As influenced by Italian neorealism as American crime fiction, this double Academy Award winner remains a benchmark for naturalism in noir, living and breathing in the promises and perils of the Big Apple, from its lowest depths to its highest skyscrapers
	The Naked Island Directed by Kaneto Shindo Starring Nobuko Otowa, Taiji Tonoyama, Shinji Tanaka 1960 Japan Duration: 1:36:34	Director Kaneto Shindo's documentary-like, dialogue-free portrayal of daily struggle is a work of stunning visual beauty and invention. The international breakthrough for one of Japan's most innovative filmmakers, who went on to make other unique masterworks such as ONIBABA and KURONEKO, THE NAKED ISLAND follows a family whose home is on a tiny, remote island in the Japanese archipelago. They must row a great distance to another shore, collect water from a well in buckets, and row back to their island, a nearly backbreaking task essential for the survival of these people and their land. Featuring a phenomenal modernist score by Hikaru Hayashi, this is a truly hypnotic experience, with a rhythm unlike that of any other film.
	The Naked Kiss Directed by Samuel Fuller Starring Constance Towers, Anthony Eisley, Michael Dante 1964 United States Duration: 1:30:50	The setup is pure pulp: A former prostitute (a crackerjack Constance Towers) relocates to a buttoned-down suburb, determined to fit in with mainstream society. But in the strange, hallucinatory territory of writer-director-producer Samuel Fuller, perverse secrets simmer beneath the wholesome surface. Featuring radical visual touches, full-throttle performances, brilliant cinematography by Stanley Cortez, and one bizarrely beautiful musical number, THE NAKED KISS is among Fuller’s greatest, boldest entertainments.

A NATION IS BORN is a historical portrait of Vieyra’s homeland showing scenes from precolonial traditions—represented mainly by dance—to the exploitative era of European domination, to the new beginning represented by the celebration of the republic.
	The Natural History of the Chicken Directed by Mark Lewis 2000 United States Duration: 54:35	While most know chicken as a dinner-plate staple, few pause to consider this bird’s many virtues. In this fascinating and gently comic documentary, director Mark Lewis delves into the under-recognized complexities of this seemingly simple animal. Through interviews with those who have formed unique bonds with chickens and narrative vignettes depicting the birds at their magical best, Lewis allows us to rethink our relationship to a creature we have previously taken for granted, while at the same time providing a lens through which we can view ourselves anew.

Will they ever meet? And will that satisfy their desires?

	Neptune Frost Directed by Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeyman Starring Cheryl Isheja, Bertrand Ninteretse, Eliane Umuhire 2021 United States Duration: 1:49:45	Codirected by Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeyman, this visually wondrous sci-fi punk musical takes place in the hilltops of Burundi, where a group of escaped coltan miners form an anticolonialist hacker collective. From their camp in an otherworldly e-waste dump, they attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime exploiting the region's natural resources—and its people.

	Never Eat Alone Directed by Sofia Bohdanowicz Starring Deragh Campbell, Joan Benac, George Radovics 2016 Canada Duration: 1:07:45	A singularly affecting cross between documentary, fiction, family portrait, and detective story, NEVER EAT ALONE casts director Sofia Bohdanowicz’s own grandmother, Joan Benac, as a version of herself, an elderly woman who enlists the help of her granddaughter (Deragh Campbell in the first of her many appearances as the filmmaker’s alter ego, Audrey Benac) to help her find a former lover, a man with whom she once starred in a television show in the 1950s. The shared quest of these two women sheds light on both long-lost histories and the relationship between memory, time, and aging.
	Never Fear Directed by Ida Lupino Starring Sally Forrest, Keefe Brassellle, Hugh O’Brian 1950 United States Duration: 1:21:21	Starring Sally Forrest, Keefe Brassellle, Hugh O’Brian With the polio epidemic striking terror in the hearts of millions—in 1949, it caused more than 2,700 deaths in the U.S. alone—Ida Lupino made this semiautobiographical melodrama about a dancer-choreographer (Sally Forrest) who struggles to overcome the disease that has crippled her body and her confidence. The film’s unusually hard-eyed realism was born of Lupino’s own dark memories of polio as an aspiring teenage actress, as well as her use of documentary locations and nonprofessional actors—most tenderly in the famous wheelchair square dance filmed (by veteran John Ford cinematographer Archie Stout) with actual rehab patients at the Kabat-Kaiser Institute in Santa Monica.

	News from Home Directed by Chantal Akerman 1976 France Duration: 1:29:27	Following her time living in New York in the early 1970s, Chantal Akerman returned to the city to create one of her most elegantly minimalist and profoundly affecting meditations on dislocation and estrangement. Over a series of exactingly composed shots of Manhattan circa 1976, the filmmaker reads letters sent by her mother years earlier. The juxtaposition between the intimacy of these domestic reports and the lonely, bleakly beautiful cityscapes results in a poignant reflection on personal and familial disconnection that doubles as a transfixing time capsule.
	New Tale of Zatoichi Directed by Tokuzo Tanaka 1963 Japan	Zatoichi is back, and in color!

Cowritten and directed by acclaimed horror maestro Lucio Fulci and filmed on location, THE NEW YORK RIPPER is one of the Godfather of Gore’s most savage and controversial thrillers.

Awash in moody gothic atmosphere and hallucinatory visuals, this stylish Australian giallo—a favorite of Quentin Tarantino’s that he’s compared to THE SHINING—features a mind-warping climax and an intense synth score by Klaus Schulze of Tangerine Dream.
	Niaye Directed by Ousmane Sembène Starring Sow, Astou Ndiaye, Mame Dia 1964 Senegal Duration: 30:58	In this early short film, adapted from his own novella “White Genesis,” Ousmane Sembène offers a portrait of a Senegalese village in decline, where the chief has impregnated his own daughter, a soldier has come back from war insane, and the local griot bemoans the community’s loss of morals.

	Night and Fog Directed by Alain Resnais 1955 France Duration: 33:03	Ten years after the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, filmmaker Alain Resnais documented the abandoned grounds of Auschwitz and Majdanek in NIGHT AND FOG (NUIT ET BROUILLARD), one of the first cinematic reflections on the Holocaust. Juxtaposing the stillness of the abandoned camps’ empty buildings with haunting wartime footage, Resnais investigates humanity’s capacity for violence, and presents the devastating suggestion that such horrors could occur again.
	Night and Fog in Japan Directed by Nagisa Oshima 1960 Japan Duration: 1:47:43	Nagisa Oshima (b. 1932) released three movies in 1960, all steeped in topical subject matter of special relevance to young viewers, and each came to be regarded as something of a classic NIGHT AND FOG IN JAPAN was both the most critically acclaimed and personally bitter of the three, a brutally honest look at the failure of Japan's activist reform movement. Toshiro Ushido's script was filled with piercing anger and disillusionment, which the director channeled in laser-like precision through his camera.
	Night Drum Directed by Tadashi Imai Starring Ineko Arima, Rentaro Mikuni 1958 Japan Duration: 1:35:15	A woman (Ineko Arima) begins an adulterous affair while her samurai husband (Rentaro Mikuni) is away, unleashes a wave of tragedy in this devastating condemnation of feudal Japan’s stifling moral code. Unfolding in an intricate flashback structure as authorities attempt to unravel the truth of the woman’s alleged infidelity—an offense that, according to the law of the time, is punishable by death—this adaptation of a play by celebrated writer Monzaemon Chikamatsu has been cited as the crowning achievement of socially conscious director Tadashi Imai.
	Nightfall Directed by Jacques Tourneur Starring Brian Keith, Aldo Ray, Anne Bancroft 1957 United States Duration: 1:18:57	Directed by Jacques Tourneur from one of the masterful, despairing novels of David Goodis, NIGHTFALL is the tale of an innocent man trapped in a senseless and lethal web of seduction and crime.

	Night Games Directed by Mai Zetterling Starring Ingrid Thulin, Keve Hjelm, Jörgen Lindström 1966 Sweden Duration: 1:45:51	Outrageous and explosively controversial (the Venice Film Festival refused to screen it publicly, while John Waters has called it his favorite film), Mai Zetterling’s second feature is a blazing psychosexual odyssey with heaving Freudian flourishes. On the eve of his marriage to his fiancée (Lena Brundin), Jan (Keve Hjelm) returns to his childhood home—a sprawling estate stuffed with antiques—where he relives his memories of his beautiful, decadent, mercurial mother (Ingrid Thulin) and finds himself forced to confront his unresolved Oedipal longings. Seamlessly interweaving past and present, carnivalesque camp and potent symbolism, NIGHT GAMES functions as both a feverishly perverse family portrait and a serious statement on the tormented soul of a modern Europe reckoning with the demons of its past.

	The Night of the Hunter Directed by Charles Laughton Starring Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, Lillian Gish 1955 United States Duration: 1:32:57	THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER—incredibly, the only film the great actor Charles Laughton ever directed—is truly a stand-alone masterwork. A horror movie with qualities of a Grimm fairy tale, it stars a sublimely sinister Robert Mitchum as a traveling preacher named Harry Powell (he of the tattooed knuckles), whose nefarious motives for marrying a fragile widow, played by Shelley Winters, are uncovered by her terrified young children. Graced by images of eerie beauty and a sneaky sense of humor, this ethereal, expressionistic American classic—also featuring the contributions of actress Lillian Gish and writer James Agee—is cinema’s most eccentric rendering of the battle between good and evil. Restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive in cooperation with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc., with funding provided by Robert Sturm and The Film Foundation.
	Night of the Living Dead Directed by George A. Romero Starring Duane Jones, Judith O’Dea, Karl Hardman 1968 United States Duration: 1:36:34	Starring Duane Jones, Judith O’Dea, Karl Hardman Shot outside Pittsburgh on a shoestring budget, by a band of filmmakers determined to make their mark, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, directed by horror master George A. Romero, is a great story of independent cinema: a midnight hit turned box-office smash that became one of the most influential films of all time. A deceptively simple tale of a group of strangers trapped in a farmhouse who find themselves fending off a horde of recently dead, flesh-eating ghouls, Romero’s claustrophobic vision of a late-1960s America literally tearing itself apart rewrote the rules of the horror genre, combined gruesome gore with acute social commentary, and quietly broke ground by casting a black actor (Duane Jones) in its lead role. Stark, haunting, and more relevant than ever, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is back. Restored by the Museum of Modern Art and The Film Foundation, with funding provided by the George Lucas Family Foundation and the Celeste Bartos Preservation Fund.
	Night on Earth Directed by Jim Jarmusch Starring Gena Rowlands, Winona Ryder, Rosie Perez 1991 United States Duration: 2:08:18	Five cities. Five taxicabs. A multitude of strangers in the night. Jim Jarmusch assembled an extraordinary international cast of actors (including Gena Rowlands, Winona Ryder, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Béatrice Dalle, and Roberto Benigni) for this quintet of transitory tales of urban displacement and existential angst, all staged as encounters between cabbies and their fares. Spanning time zones, continents, and languages, NIGHT ON EARTH winds its course through scenes of uproarious comedy, nocturnal poetry, and somber fatalism, set to a moody soundtrack by Tom Waits. Jarmusch’s lovingly askew view of humanity from the passenger seat makes for one of his most charming and beloved films, a freewheeling showcase for the cosmopolitan range of his imagination.
	The Night Porter Directed by Liliana Cavani Starring Charlotte Rampling, Dirk Bogarde 1974 Italy Duration: 1:58:18	In this unsettling drama from Italian filmmaker Liliana Cavani, a concentration camp survivor (Charlotte Rampling) discovers her former torturer and lover (Dirk Bogarde) working as a porter at a hotel in postwar Vienna.

	Nights and Weekends Directed by Joe Swanberg and Greta Gerwig Starring Greta Gerwig, Joe Swanberg, Jay Duplass 2008 United States Duration: 1:19:16	Those are the times that long-distance lovers James and Mattie (he’s in Chicago, she’s in Brooklyn) carve out for their rambling phone calls and decreasingly satisfying hookups. Flash-forward a year: after their breakup, James moves to New York for a job, the couple (“of what?” she asks) reconnect, and they find everything’s more complicated than ever. This fragmented character study offers an unnervingly true-to-life glimpse into a disintegrating twenty-first-century relationship.

In less than three hours, it had plunged to the bottom of the sea, taking with it more than 1,500 of its 2,200 passengers. In his unforgettable rendering of Walter Lord’s book of the same name, the acclaimed British director Roy Ward Baker depicts with sensitivity, awe, and a fine sense of tragedy the ship’s last hours. Featuring remarkably restrained performances, A NIGHT TO REMEMBER is cinema’s subtlest and best dramatization of this monumental twentieth-century catastrophe.

From the outset of the marriage, Dmitriy's singular devotion to his work keeps them apart. At a Siberian research center, Dmitriy works together with Ilya, and though Ilya's cynical manner is so different from his own, their disagreements do nothing to mar their friendship and mutual respect. As a new success is obtained, Dmitriy is again exposed to radiation. He persuades Ilya to keep the accident a secret until the experiments are completed. Lyolya, misunderstanding Dmitriy's remoteness, feels that she has failed as a wife. Dmitriy's health deteriorates, and, aware of his doom, he makes a visit to his family. At a Moscow clinic he asks doctors to perform an experimental bone marrow transplant with little chance of success. Ilya comes to visit him on the day before the operation and tells him that their experiments produced a new type of radiation which was not thermonuclear, as anticipated, but nonetheless would be an important contribution to science. As Ilya and Lyolya await the outcome of the operation at the hospital, they receive a note from Dmitriy promising a celebration.
	No Bears Directed by Jafar Panahi Starring Naser Hashemi, Bakhtiyar Panjeei, Vahid Mobaser 2022 Iran Duration: 1:47:16	One of the world’s great cinematic artists, Jafar Panahi has been carefully crafting self-reflexive works about artistic, personal, and political freedom for the past three decades, despite being banned from filmmaking by the Iranian government since 2010. In NO BEARS—completed shortly before his imprisonment in 2022—Panahi plays a fictionalized version of himself, a dissident filmmaker who relocates to a rural border town to direct a film remotely in nearby Turkey and finds himself embroiled in a local scandal. As he struggles to complete his film, Panahi must confront the opposing pulls of tradition and progress, city and country, belief and evidence, and the universal desire to reject oppression. “Over a decade ago, in 2010, Jafar Panahi was sentenced to six years in prison and a twenty-year ban on directing films. He has, in the time since, directed five features; the unfathomable difficulty of this feat is as astonishing as how vital and how good his work continues to be. NO BEARS may be the best of them all.” —Alison Willmore, “Vulture” “Don’t miss NO BEARS . . . An act of profound resistance.” —Manohla Dargis, “The New York Times” “A masterwork . . . Panahi once again uses his situation to produce something that’s somehow life-affirming and deeply devastating.” —David Fear, “Rolling Stone” “Brilliant . . . Instantly gripping, formally ingenious.” —Justin Chang, “Los Angeles Times” “Jafar Panahi may be the most vital and courageous filmmaker in the world right now.” —Jake Coyle, “Associated Press”
	No Blood Relation Directed by Mikio Naruse Starring Shinyo Nara, Yukiko Tsukuba, Hisako Kojima 1932 Japan Duration: 1:18:56	In NO BLOOD RELATION, a gripping early example of Mikio Naruse’s cinematic boldness, featuring a screenplay by Yasujiro Ozu’s famed collaborator Kogo Noda, an actress returns to Tokyo after a successful stint in Hollywood to reclaim—with the help of her gangster brother—the daughter she abandoned years before.

Cutting back and forth between Kara’s anarchic escapades as a member of the Mierdas Punk gang and his desperate, increasingly hallucinatory journey into the Mexican countryside, Minter vividly renders his character and milieu with a raw video palette. A companion of sorts to SHIT SATURDAY (the two films even share some of the same footage), NOBODY IS INNOCENT reveals the agony as well as the ecstasy of youth living without a future.
	Nobody Is Innocent: Twenty Years Later Directed by Sarah Minter 2010 Mexico Duration: 1:15:35	Twenty years after filming NOBODY IS INNOCENT, her indelible portrait of the Mierdas Punk youth gang, Sarah Minter returned to Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl to make this documentary profiling the surviving actors from that film. Each of the Mierdas has taken his or her own path through the struggles of adult life, hustling to make ends meet, raising kids, and in several cases keeping the spirit of punk alive through art and activism. A moving look at the legacy of Mexico’s counterculture, NOBODY IS INNOCENT: 20 YEARS LATER asks what happens when punks with no future have no choice but to grow up.

Nierenberg 1979 United States Duration: 59:06	Upon its release 1979—when tap dancing was largely seen as a relic of the past—this captivating documentary instantly revived interest in a uniquely American art form. Through a celebration of three remarkable dancers—Bunny Briggs, Chuck Green, and Harold “Sandman” Sims—director George T. Nierenberg traces the history of tap and its importance within African American culture, transmitting his love for the art and its practitioners with an infectious sense of joy. Featuring music by jazz legend Lionel Hampton, NO MAPS ON MY TAPS remains an essential cultural record that has inspired countless young dancers to put on tap shoes.
	No More Excuses Directed by Robert Downey Sr. 1968 United States Duration: 46:17	Downey takes his camera and microphone onto the streets (and into some bedrooms) for a look at Manhattan’s singles scene of the late sixties.

Preserved by Anthology Film Archives, with funding provided by The Film Foundation.
	Nonstop Directed by Zac Manuel and Marta Rodriguez Maleck 2021 United States Duration: 12:13	The interconnected daily journeys of bus riders and operators on the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority bus lines illuminate why the Black community there has been disproportionately affected by COVID-19.

	À nos amours Directed by Maurice Pialat Starring Sandrine Bonnaire, Evelyne Ker, Maurice Pialat 1983 France Duration: 1:39:39	With his raw style of filmmaking, Maurice Pialat has been called the John Cassavetes of French cinema, and the scorching À NOS AMOURS is one of his greatest achievements. In a revelatory film debut, the dynamic, fresh-faced Sandrine Bonnaire plays Suzanne, a fifteen-year-old Parisian who embarks on a sexual rampage in an effort to separate herself from her overbearing, beloved father (played with astonishing magnetism by Pialat himself), ineffectual mother, and brutish brother. A tender character study that can erupt in startling violence, À NOS AMOURS is one of the high-water marks of eighties French cinema.
	(nostalgia) Directed by Hollis Frampton 1971 United States Duration: 36:30	This film is narrated by artist Michael Snow.
	Not a Pretty Picture Directed by Martha Coolidge Starring Michele Manenti, Jim Carrington, Anne Mundstuk 1975 United States Duration: 1:22:36	Trailblazing filmmaker Martha Coolidge made her feature debut with this unflinchingly personal hybrid of documentary and fiction. Centered on an intense reenactment of Coolidge’s experience of rape in her adolescence, the film casts Michele Manenti (also a survivor) as the director’s younger self, and observes the actor and her castmates as they engage in a profound dialogue about what it means to recreate these traumatic memories, and about their attitudes concerning consent and self-blame. A high-stakes experiment in metacinema that broke new ground with its uncompromising examination of date rape, NOT A PRETTY PICTURE brings a stunning immediacy to questions about the on-screen representation of sexual violence and the limits of artistic catharsis.
	Not Black Enough Directed by Jermaine Manigault Starring Patrick Decile, Corey Knight, Felipe Galganni 2020 United States Duration: 19:00	A young African American man struggling to find his place within his community confronts the often-rigid definitions of Black masculinity.
	Notfilm Directed by Ross Lipman 2015 United States Duration: 2:08:37	In 1964, author Samuel Beckett set out on one of the strangest ventures in cinematic history: his embattled collaboration with silent-era genius Buster Keaton on the production of a short, untitled avant-garde film. Beckett was nearing the peak of his fame, which would culminate in his receiving a Nobel Prize five years later. Keaton, in his waning years, would not live to see Beckett’s canonization. The film they made along with director Alan Schneider, renegade publisher Barney Rosset, and Academy Award–winning cinematographer Boris Kaufman has been the subject of praise, condemnation, and controversy for decades. Yet the eclectic participants are just one part of a story that stretches to the birth of cinema and encompasses our very understanding of human consciousness. NOTFILM is the feature-length movie on FILM’s production and its philosophical implications, utilizing additional outtakes, never-before-heard audio recordings of the production meetings, and other rare archival elements.
	Nothing but a Man Directed by Michael Roemer Starring Ivan Dixon, Abbey Lincoln, Julius Harris 1964 United States Duration: 1:31:43	Michael Roemer’s groundbreaking first feature, sensitively shot by his close collaborator Robert M. Young, is a still-resonant expression of humanity in the face of virulent prejudice. Made at the height of the civil rights movement, NOTHING BUT A MAN reveals the toll of systemic racism through its honest portrait of a southern Black railroad worker (Ivan Dixon) confronting the daily challenges of discrimination and economic precarity, as he attempts to settle down with his new wife (jazz great Abbey Lincoln) and track down his father (Julius Harris). Admired by Malcolm X and now recognized as a landmark of American cinema, this tender film grounds its social critique in characters of unforgettable complexity and truth.
	Notions of Freedom Directed by Ulysses Jenkins 2007 United States Duration: 15:54	In NOTIONS OF FREEDOM, Ulysses Jenkins charts the history of jazz—what he calls “the first true American art form”—from its beginnings in New Orleans and the American South to the classic work of Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington and through the major innovations of Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra, and Miles Davis. Also included are clips of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, explicitly linking the development of jazz to the civil rights movement.
	La notte Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni Starring Marcello Mastroianni, Jeanne Moreau, Monica Vitti 1961 Italy Duration: 2:02:17	This psychologically acute, visually striking modernist work was director Michelangelo Antonioni’s follow-up to the epochal L’AVVENTURA. Marcello Mastroianni and Jeanne Moreau star as a novelist and his frustrated wife, who, over the course of one night, confront their alienation from each other and the achingly empty bourgeois Milan circles in which they travel. Antonioni’s muse Monica Vitti smolders as an industrialist’s tempting daughter. Moodily sensual cinematography and subtly expressive performances make LA NOTTE an indelible illustration of romantic and social deterioration.
	Le notti bianche Directed by Luchino Visconti Starring Marcello Mastroianni, Maria Schell 1957 Italy Duration: 1:41:45	Marcello Mastroianni, as a lonely city transplant, and Maria Schell, as a sheltered girl haunted by a lover’s promise, meet by chance on a canal bridge and begin a tentative romance that quickly entangles them in a web of longing and self-delusion. Luchino Visconti’s LE NOTTI BIANCHE, an exquisite adaptation of Dostoyevsky’s “White Nights,” translates this romantic, shattering tale of two restless souls into a ravishing black-and-white dream.

Unfortunately, his past returns (in the form of old jail pal Emile) to upset his carefully laid plans. Featuring lighthearted wit, tremendous visual innovation, and masterful manipulation of sound, À NOUS LA LIBERTÉ is both a potent indictment of mechanized modern society and an uproarious comic delight.
	Nou Voix Directed by Maxime Jean-Baptiste 2018 France Duration: 14:26	NOU VOIX (“Our Voice”) is an autobiographical video based on the experiences of filmmaker Maxime Jean-Baptiste’s father, who appeared as an extra in the 1990 French film JEAN GALMOT, AVENTURIER.

	Nowhere Directed by Gregg Araki Starring James Duval, Rachel True, Nathan Bexton 1997 United States Duration: 1:22:41	You can practically smell the pheromones wafting off this kaleidoscopic odyssey, which finds director Gregg Araki crossing soap-operatic elements with blasts of science fiction, indie-kid cool, and shiny pop-art subversion. On the day when the world is foretold to end, a group of terminally horny, disillusioned, zonked-out teens in Los Angeles see their lives explode in a glitter bomb of drugs, sex, death, and alien abduction. Bisexual lust, vaporizing Valley girls, sinister televangelists, nipple-ring S&M, murder by Campbell’s-soup can—Araki folds it all into an anarchic orgy that brings his Teen Apocalypse Trilogy to an explosively caustic close.
	N.U. Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni 1948 Italy Duration: 11:53	This 1948 film by Antonioni documents the lives of street cleaners in Rome. N.U. is short for Nettezza urbana, the Italian municipal cleaning service.
	La nuit de Varennes Directed by Ettore Scola 1982 Italy Duration: 2:31:50	It should come as no surprise to anyone watching Le Nuit de Varennes that its maker, Ettore Scola, studied law before turning to filmmaking, and became an expert at socially conscious satire and parody. In this instance, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, fleeing the French Revolution in 1791, confront and debate various historical political and philosophical figures (including Thomas Paine, played by Harvey Keitel!!!) about the nature and causes of the turmoil around them.
	Number, Please? Directed by Hal Roach and Fred Newmeyer 1920 United States Duration: 25:30	A young, heartbroken man goes to the amusement park, only to see the girl he lost with a new man.
	Numéro zéro Directed by Jean Eustache Starring Jean Eustache, Odette Robert, Boris Eustache 1971 France Duration: 1:52:09	Before paying homage to his grandmother Odette Robert in the autobiographical MY LITTLE LOVES, Jean Eustache made NUMÉRO ZÉRO, a documentary portrait in which Robert answers questions about her difficult Bordeaux upbringing, contentious marriage, and traumatic wartime experiences. In excavating the painful details of Robert’s life, Eustache discovers their universal resonance. Much of Eustache’s later style can be found in NUMÉRO ZÉRO, from the inimitable black-and-white photography and static framing to the emphasis on the major revelations of minor movements and gestures. This is the complete version of the shorter ODETTE ROBERT, which was broadcast in 1980 on France’s TF1 channel.
	Nuts in May Directed by Mike Leigh Starring Alison Steadman, Roger Sloman, Anthony O’Donnell 1976 United Kingdom Duration: 1:24:32	A couple’s quest to get away from it all comes with some unforeseen hazards in Mike Leigh’s classic tale of a camping holiday gone wrong. Their car packed to the gills, the punctilious Keith (Roger Sloman) and the more spontaneous Candice Marie (Alison Steadman) arrive at a Dorset campground for ten nights of idyllic bliss. It starts off pretty perfect: they go sightseeing, eat vegetarian food, and search for raw milk. Then a fellow with a loud radio pitches his tent near theirs. Things get worse when a couple arrive on a motorcycle, have noisy sex in their tent, and start an illegal campfire. Will Keith and Candice Marie find a peaceful corner, or are they doomed to brawl with the noisy and unwashed?

	The Octopus Directed by Jean Painlevé 1927 France Duration: 13:13	From 1927 to 1928, Jean Painlevé made his first three films aimed at the general public.

THE OCTOPUS, one of these educational films, is presented here in its original silent version. (Presented without score.)
	ocularis Directed by Tran, T. Kim-Trang 1997 United States Duration: 21:33	This video highlights several narratives concerning video surveillance—not to reiterate the conventional privacy argument but rather to engage the desire to watch surveillance materials and society’s insatiable voyeurism. A variety of subjects recount their interactions with surveillance—getting caught in the act of stealing or watching pornography, being discouraged from making an illegal ATM withdrawal—and question technological determinism, asking whether we choose to develop technology or technology shapes our choices.
	Odd Man Out Directed by Carol Reed Starring James Mason, Kathleen Ryan, Robert Newton 1947 United Kingdom Duration: 1:56:16	Taking place largely over the course of one tense night, Carol Reed’s psychological noir, set in an unnamed Belfast, stars James Mason as a revolutionary ex-con leading a robbery that goes horribly wrong. Injured and hunted by the police, he seeks refuge throughout the city, while the woman he loves (Kathleen Ryan) searches for him among the shadows. Reed and cinematographer Robert Krasker (who would collaborate again on THE THIRD MAN) create images of stunning depth for this fierce, spiritual depiction of a man’s ultimate confrontation with himself.
	Odd Obsession Directed by Kon Ichikawa Starring Ganjiro Nakamura, Machiko Kyo 1959 Japan Duration: 1:47:19	Starring Ganjiro Nakamura, Machiko Kyo Kon Ichikawa’s ODD OBSESSION is a strange dark comedy on a then-forbidden subject—impotence, and jealousy as a cure for it. The movie explores the links between love, jealousy, and rage, all from the standpoint of Kenji Kenmochi (Ganjiro Nakamura), the middle-aged husband of the younger Ikuko (Machiko Kyo), who finds her youth intimidating to the point of sexual paralysis. His solution involves introducing his daughter’s lover to Ikuko.
	Odds and Ends Directed by Michelle Parkerson 1993 United States Duration: 27:46	In the year 2096, Black women warriors wage a battle against racial and gender annihilation.

	Oedipus Rex Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini Starring Franco Citti, Silvana Mangano, Laura Betti 1967 Italy Duration: 1:45:01	Pier Paolo Pasolini’s powerfully iconoclastic take on Sophocles’s tragedy blends eras and cultures to create a searing exploration of fate, free will, and the things we fear most in ourselves. Shot amid the stark, elemental landscapes of the Moroccan desert, and set in an indefinable ancient past, this bold reimagining casts the filmmaker’s frequent collaborator Franco Citti as the eponymous foundling, whose willful blindness to his own nature unleashes a cataclysmic reckoning. With a prologue and epilogue set in twentieth-century Italy, Pasolini connects the story to his own upbringing, daring to bare his soul on-screen.
	Employment Offer Directed by Jean Eustache Starring Michel Delahaye, Jean Douchet, Bertrand Van Effenterre 1982 France Duration: 21:41	Jean Eustache’s final film—commissioned for the French television series “Contes modernes” (“Modern Tales”)—is a sharp satire of contemporary man’s dehumanization at the hands of specialized psychology. In the first half, an unemployed, middle-aged sales director (Michel Delahaye) seeks a job from the want ads and performs well in his interview. In the second half, a handwriting analyst (Michèle Moretti) determines the suitability of each candidate by reading into their cover letters various subconscious weaknesses and faults. Like much of Eustache’s later work, EMPLOYMENT OFFER contrasts different modes of communication, with an emphasis on the considerable blind spots in human understanding and relationships.
	Of Mice and Men Directed by Lewis Milestone Starring Burgess Meredith, Lon Chaney Jr., Betty Field 1939 United States Duration: 1:46:41	George and Lennie are California migrant workers on the run from the law because of something the simple-minded giant Lennie did. They find work at a local ranch, where they dream of making enough money to buy their own farm with Candy, a long-time ranch hand with savings.

	Of Stars and Men Directed by John Hubley 1961 United States Duration: 53:41	Filmmakers John and Faith Hubley embark on a wondrous cosmic voyage in this unique animated documentary. Based on the book by astronomer Harlow Shapley (who also narrates), OF STARS AND MEN sets a kaleidoscope of painterly, often abstract visuals to classical music as it ruminates on our knowledge of outer space, time, matter, and energy in order to explore humankind’s place in the universe. The result is an awe-inspiring fusion of science and philosophy that speaks profoundly to eternal questions about the meaning of life.
	Oh My God! It’s Harrod Blank! Directed by David Silberberg 2008 Duration: 1:17:33	Filmed over sixteen years, this obsessively made documentary explores the creative life and adventures of the eccentric artist and entrepreneur Harrod Blank. Chronicling everything from his youth growing up in the woods with chickens and working as a camera assistant for his father, the venerable filmmaker Les Blank, to the creation of his first attention-getting art car, to his current multifaceted career as creator and head of a nationwide art-car movement, this engaging portrait is an appropriately offbeat ode to a true original defiantly pursuing his own form of nonconformity.
	Oh, My Son! Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita 1979 Japan Duration: 2:10:45	A man whose son has been murdered pushes to create laws to financially protect victims' families. Keisuke Kinoshita directs.

	Los ojos vendados Directed by Carlos Saura Starring Geraldine Chaplin, José Luis Gómez, Xabier Elorriaga 1978 France Duration: 1:53:40	Carlos Saura returns to the potent themes of trauma and repression that run through nearly all of his 1970s films that deal, in one way or another, with the psychological effects of authoritarianism. Geraldine Chaplin delivers an arresting performance as an actor playing a victim of torture in a play based in part on the 1976 Argentine coup d’état, who becomes romantically involved with the show’s director Luis (José Luis Gómez). Things take a sinister turn, however, when Luis begins receiving threatening letters demanding that he halt the production.
	The Old and the New Directed by Sergei Eisenstein and Grigori Aleksandrov 1929 Soviet Union Duration: 1:31:18	Focusing on the trials and determination of one woman (Marfa Lapkina) rather than a large group of people, Sergei Eisenstein and Grigori Aleksandrov switch their social realist montage to the plight of the individuals power to effect change in Soviet Russia. (Presented without score.)
	Old Boyfriends Directed by Joan Tewkesbury Starring Talia Shire, Richard Jordan, Keith Carradine 1979 United States Duration: 1:43:01	The sole theatrical feature directed by Joan Tewkesbury—whose screenplays for NASHVILLE and THIEVES LIKE US yielded two of Robert Altman’s finest films—is an endlessly intriguing, shaggy-dog romantic comedy starring Talia Shire as Dianne Cruise, a Los Angeles psychiatrist who, with her life falling apart around her, goes in search of three of her past boyfriends in order to figure out where things went wrong. Written by Paul and Leonard Schrader and costarring John Belushi (fantastic as Dianne’s sleazy rocker ex) and Keith Carradine, OLD BOYFRIENDS ambles, in the best ’70s road-movie tradition, through a series of surprising, emotionally intricate detours as it arrives at messy, complex truths about love and self-understanding.
	Old-Fashioned Woman Directed by Martha Coolidge 1974 United States Duration: 48:47	Directed by Martha Coolidge • 1974 • United States
	Old Joy Directed by Kelly Reichardt Starring Daniel London, Will Oldham 2006 United States Duration: 1:13:50	Two old friends reunite for a quietly revelatory overnight camping trip in this breakout feature from Kelly Reichardt, a microbudget study of character and masculinity that introduced many viewers to one of contemporary American cinema’s most independent artists. As expectant father Mark (Daniel London) and nomadic Kurt (Will Oldham) travel by car and foot into the woods in search of some secluded hot springs, their fumbling attempts to reconnect keep butting up against the limits of their friendship and the reality of how much their paths have diverged since their shared youth. Adapted from a short story by Jonathan Raymond and accompanied by an atmospheric Yo La Tengo score, OLD JOY is a contemplative, wryly observed triumph whose modest scale belies the richness of its insight.
	Old Man Directed by Leah Shore 2012 United States Duration: 05:53	For more then 20 years Charles Manson has refused to communicate to the outside world. Until now. These are actual never before heard phone conversations between Canadian best selling author Marlin Marynick and Charles Manson.

	Oliver Twist Directed by David Lean Starring Robert Newton, Alec Guinness, Kay Walsh 1948 United Kingdom Duration: 1:56:14	Following the success of GREAT EXPECTATIONS, David Lean applied his sterling craftsmanship to another beloved Charles Dickens classic and once again set the standard for all future screen adaptations. Expressionistic, shadow-etched cinematography captures the atmosphere of the nineteenth-century London underworld where a runaway orphan (John Howard Davies) falls in with a den of thieves as he searches for a true home. Alec Guinness’s controversial performance as the pickpocket Fagin stands as one of the chameleonic actor’s most striking transformations.
	Olympia Part One: Festival of the Nations Directed by Leni Riefenstahl 1938 Germany	More has been written about Leni Riefenstahl's OLYMPIA than about any other sports documentary in history. Starting with a long and lyrical overture, evoking the origins of the Olympic Games in ancient Greece, Riefenstahl covers twenty-one athletic events in FESTIVAL OF THE NATIONS, culminating with the marathon. Despite the film's fascist origins, OLYMPIA has achieved a certain respectability and endures as a monument of cinema, and of a malevolent ideology.
	Olympia Part Two: Festival of Beauty Directed by Leni Riefenstahl 1938 Germany	More has been written about Leni Riefenstahl's OLYMPIA than about any other sports documentary in history. In part two of OLYMPIA, the cameras leave the main stadium and venture into the many halls and fields deployed for such sports as fencing, polo, cycling, and the modern pentathlon. Despite the film's fascist origins, OLYMPIA has achieved a certain respectability and endures as a monument of cinema, and of a malevolent ideology.
	Olympic Games, 1956 Directed by Peter Whitchurch 1956 Australia Duration: 1:00:34	OLYMPIC GAMES, 1956, directed by the documentarist Peter Whitchurch, was commissioned by the Organizing Committee for these Olympic Games. Historically, the film points to some encouraging situations in international affairs, with Hungary taking part in the Games in the immediate wake of the ill-fated uprising in Budapest, and East and West Germany sending a combined team.
	The Olympic Games, Amsterdam, 1928 Directed by Wilhelm Prager 1928 Italy Duration: 3:12:39	Though shorter than the Italian film covering the same 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, the intimacy on display in this Dutch film is more rewarding and less perfunctory.
	The Olympic Games as They Were Practiced in Ancient Greece Directed by Jean de Rovera 1924 France Duration: 08:24	A short tribute to the origins of the Olympic Games shot in 1924. This film is a brief series of tableaux, with athletes posing against a dark stage background and performing the ritual movements of the traditional sports and events.
	The Olympic Games Held at Chamonix in 1924 Directed by Jean de Rovera 1924 France Duration: 37:35	THE OLYMPIC GAMES HELD AT CHAMONIX IN 1924 chronicles the first full-scale Olympic Winter Games. In the film, the atmosphere is down to earth and relaxed, communicating the exuberance of winter sports.
	The Olympic Games in Paris 1924 Directed by Jean de Rovera 1924 France Duration: 2:54:43	THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN PARIS, 1924 provides exhaustive and engrossing coverage of all the main sports on view. The exploits of Johnny Weissmuller (USA) and Paavo Nurmi (Finland) in Paris turned them into international sports heroes, and the coverage of the tennis tournament includes footage of such legendary players as Jean Borotra (France), René Lacoste (France), and Helen Wills (USA).
	Olympic Glory Directed by Kieth Merrill 1999 Norway Duration: 42:07	OLYMPIC GLORY, produced by the experienced Hollywood enterprise the Kennedy/Marshall Company and directed by seasoned documentarist Kieth Merrill, was made in large format for release on the IMAX. The crisp photography and engrossing sound combine with the energetic score to present events like the bobsleigh races in spectacular, thrilling fashion.
	The Olympics in Mexico Directed by Alberto Isaac 1969 Mexico Duration: 2:40:19	Mexican former Olympic swimmer Alberto Isaac's record of the Mexico City Olympic Games is a celebration not of national achievement (very few national anthems are heard during the film), but of individual heroism. This thoughtful and comprehensive film bristles with offbeat moments, such as underwater shots of the violence and cheating during the water polo matches. The film also yields iconic images, like Americans Tommie Smith and John Carlos, on the winners' podium for the 200 meters, their heads bowed, raising clenched, black-gloved fists to the sky in a dramatic gesture of black power and, as Smith has said, of frustration.
	Olympic Spirit Directed by Drummond Challis and Tony Maylam 1980 United Kingdom Duration: 27:39	For their short film on the XIII Olympic Winter Games Lake Placid 1980, directors Drummond Challis and Tony Maylam assumed the challenge of making a documentary without any offscreen commentary, relying on music to sustain the flow of images.
	Omega Rising Women of Rastafari Directed by D. Elmina Davis 1988 United Kingdom Duration: 52:35	This groundbreaking documentary was the first film to explore and challenge myths and stereotypes about the Rastafarian movement, giving voice to the women of Rastafari, who speak for themselves about their relationship to the movement and its development. Poetry, mythology, archival footage, interviews, music, and dance are skillfully folded into the film’s narrative, revealing the journey to higher consciousness for Jamaican and British Rastafarian women. Interviewees include Judy Mowatt, a reggae solo artist and member of Bob Marley’s backing trio, The I Threes.
	Once Upon a Time in China Directed by Tsui Hark Starring Jet Li, Yuen Biao, Jacky Cheung Hok Yau 1991 Hong Kong Duration: 2:14:56	Writer-producer-director Tsui Hark’s sprawling vision of a changing nineteenth-century China begins with this riotously entertaining epic, a blockbuster hit that cemented Jet Li’s status as the greatest martial-arts superstar of his generation. Li displays his stunning, fast-and-fluid fighting style as the legendary martial-arts teacher and doctor Wong Fei-hung, who, with a band of disciples, battles a host of nefarious forces—foreign and local—who are threatening Chinese sovereignty as British and American imperialists encroach upon the Mainland. ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA’s breathtaking blend of kung fu, comedy, romance, and melodrama climaxes in a whirlwind guns-vs.-fists finale that is also a thrilling affirmation of Chinese cultural identity.
	Once Upon a Time in China and America Directed by Sammo Hung Starring Jet Li, Rosamund Kwan, Xiong Xin-Xin 1997 Hong Kong Duration: 1:40:32	Jet Li returns in the sixth and final entry in the ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA series, here under the direction of Sammo Hung, who transfers the action to the American Wild West for a rootin’ tootin’ cowboys-meet-kung fu mashup. This time around, our hero Wong Fei-hung (Li) heads to the States to visit the San Francisco branch of his traditional Chinese medicine clinic—only to find himself stricken with amnesia and embroiled in tensions between racist politicians and Chinese immigrants. Shot largely in Texas, ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA AND AMERICA cleverly reverses the conceit of the preceding entries by bringing Chinese culture to the West, while serving up the requisite smorgasbord of spectacular action-comedy set pieces.
	Once Upon a Time in China II Directed by Tsui Hark Starring Jet Li, Rosamund Kwan, Max Mok Siu-chung 1992 Hong Kong Duration: 1:53:15	Having chronicled the social upheaval wrought by Western influence in the opening chapter of the ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA series, Tsui Hark turned his attention to the perils of unchecked nationalism in his sensational follow-up, the rare sequel to equal the dizzying highs of its predecessor. Jet Li returns to the role of Wong Fei-hung, who here takes on the diabolical White Lotus Sect, a virulently xenophobic cult whose antiforeigner sentiments unleash a wave of destructive violence. Fellow martial-arts icon Donnie Yen dazzles in a star-making turn as Wong’s nemesis, who faces off with the hero in a battle royal that showcases the kinetic brilliance of revered Hong Kong action choreographer Yuen Wo-ping.
	Once Upon a Time in China III Directed by Tsui Hark Starring Jet Li, Rosamund Kwan, Max Mok Siu-chung 1993 Hong Kong Duration: 1:52:14	Jet Li’s third outing as the storied martial-arts hero Wong Fei-hung is an exhilarating celebration of Chinese culture peppered with a dash of international espionage. This time around, Wong travels to Beijing, where he finds himself drawn into the intrigue surrounding an epic lion-dance competition, spars with a Russian rival for the affections of his beloved Thirteenth Aunt (Rosamund Kwan), and fights to foil a foreign plot to assassinate the real-life Chinese diplomat Li Hongzhang. The eye-popping lion-dance set pieces—which combine vibrantly colored, fire-breathing pageantry with martial-arts mayhem—rank among the most visually spectacular achievements of the ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA series.
	On Dangerous Ground Directed by Nicholas Ray Starring Robert Ryan, Ida Lupino, Ward Bond 1951 United States Duration: 1:21:53	Starring Robert Ryan, Ida Lupino, Ward Bond When hardened big-city police detective Jim Wilson (Robert Ryan) roughs up one too many suspects, he’s sent to the countryside to cool his heels and help search for the murderer of a small-town schoolgirl. Once there, he’s dogged by the girl’s father (Ward Bond), who wants to find—and shoot—the killer. But Jim finds much more than he expects when his investigation leads to a small cabin in the mountains and a kind-hearted blind woman (Ida Lupino, who also stepped in to direct several scenes when Nicholas Ray fell ill) who’s protecting her mentally handicapped brother—the murderer—in this drama of a man who seeks justice but finds redemption.
	On demande une brute Directed by Charles Barrois 1934 France Duration: 25:19	In this twenty-three-minute slapstick film, directed by Charles Barrois and written by Jacques Tati and René Clément, a shy, out-of-work actor (Tati) unwittingly enters a professional wrestling match. On demande une brute also stars Enrico Sprocani, a famous circus clown known as Rhum.
	One from the Heart: Reprise Directed by Starring Frederic Forrest, Teri Garr, Nastassja Kinski 1982 United States Duration: 1:33:45	One of the most intoxicating cinematic achievements of the 1980s is given spectacular new life in this director-approved reimagining, which includes six minutes of never-before-seen footage. After the era-defining successes of THE GODFATHER and APOCALYPSE NOW, director Francis Ford Coppola swung for the fences once more with this colossally ambitious, gorgeously stylized musical romance featuring songs by Tom Waits, a commercial failure that nearly derailed the director’s career, but which has become cherished for its stunning visuals and innovative approach to the genre. No expense was spared on a lavish soundstage recreation of Las Vegas, a neon dream against which two lovers (Frederic Forrest and Teri Garr) break up and have affairs over the course of one fateful Fourth of July.
	One Hundred and One Nights Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Michel Piccoli, Marcello Mastroianni, Henri Garcin 1995 France Duration: 1:45:15	A celebration of cinema’s centennial, ONE HUNDRED AND ONE NIGHTS finds Agnès Varda at her most playful. It is also perhaps her unlikeliest project: a star-studded comic fantasy with an extravagant sense of style and an adoring but slightly off-kilter perspective on the magic of filmmaking. French New Wave icon Michel Piccoli is a mysterious aging impresario named Simon Cinéma who has hired a young film student, Camille (Julie Gayet), to simply sit with him at his mansion and talk about movies. Skeptical yet increasingly enchanted, Camille bears witness to cinema itself coming to life, allowing Varda to wittily integrate a mind-boggling parade of appearances by screen legends (Catherine Deneuve, Marcello Mastroianni, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Anouk Aimée, Robert De Niro, and many others), and attest to the vigorous health of the movies at the close of the twentieth century.
	One Light, One World Directed by Joe Jay Jalbert and R. Douglas Copsey 1992 France Duration: 1:44:08	For the XVI Olympic Winter Games Albertville 1992, sports documentarists Joe Jay Jalbert and R. Douglas Copsey were assigned to make the official chronicle. The resulting film, ONE LIGHT, ONE WORLD compensates for its rough-and-ready imagery with a zestful approach not just to the Games but to the French Alps, replete with medieval villages.
	One Sings, the Other Doesn’t Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Valérie Mairesse, Thérèse Liotard, Ali Raffi 1977 France Duration: 2:01:58	Directed by Agnès Varda • 1977 • France Starring Valérie Mairesse, Thérèse Liotard, Ali Raffi In the early 1960s in Paris, two young women become friends. Pomme is an aspiring singer. Suzanne is a pregnant country girl unable to support a third child. Pomme lends Suzanne the money for an illegal abortion, but a sudden tragedy soon separates them. Ten years later, they reunite at a demonstration and pledge to keep in touch via postcard, as each of their lives is irrevocably changed by the women’s liberation movement. A buoyant hymn to sisterly solidarity rooted in the hard-won victories of a generation of women, ONE SINGS, THE OTHER DOESN’T is one of Agnès Varda’s warmest and most politically trenchant films, a feminist musical for the ages.
	One-Way Ticket to Love Directed by Masahiro Shinoda 1960 Japan Duration: 1:22:23	Masahiro Shinoda's debut film portrays the romantic lives of a group of young night club entertainers.

	Onibaba Directed by Kaneto Shindo Starring Nobuko Otowa, Jitsuko Yoshimura, Kei Sato 1964 Japan Duration: 1:42:53	Deep within the wind-swept marshes of war-torn medieval Japan, an impoverished mother and her daughter-in-law eke out a lonely, desperate existence. Forced to murder lost samurai and sell their belongings for grain, they dump the corpses down a deep, dark hole and live off their meager spoils. When a bedraggled neighbor returns from the skirmishes, lust, jealousy, and rage threaten to destroy the trio’s tenuous existence, before an ominous, ill-gotten demon mask seals the trio’s horrifying fate. Driven by primal emotions, dark eroticism, a frenzied score by Hikaru Hayashi, and stunning images both lyrical and macabre, Kaneto Shindo’s chilling folktale ONIBABA is a singular cinematic experience.
	Only One Night Directed by Gustaf Molander 1939 Sweden Duration: 1:30:58	When Valdemar Moreaux a carousel operator in a travelling fun-fair owned by his girl friend, learns that he is the bastard son of an aristocrat, he moves into his father's manor to be made over into aristocrat himself.

Von Brede is also the guardian of the beautiful and highly intelligent Eva Beckman (Ingrid Bergman). His other hope is that Valdemar and Eva will fall in love and get married. The initial coolness between this young couple gradually disappears and they agree to marry. But all hopes are dashed when Eva is confronted with the physical side of love, which she finds disgusting.

	The Only Son Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Starring Choko Iida, Shinichi Himori, Masao Hayama 1936 Japan Duration: 1:22:48	Yasujiro Ozu’s first talkie, the uncommonly poignant THE ONLY SON is among the Japanese director’s greatest works. In its simple story about a good-natured mother who gives up everything to ensure her son’s education and future, Ozu touches on universal themes of sacrifice, family, love, and disappointment. Spanning many years, THE ONLY SON is a family portrait in miniature, shot and edited with its maker’s customary exquisite control.
	On purge bébé Directed by Jean Renoir Starring Michel Simon 1931 France Duration: 52:05	Based on a comic one-act play by Georges Feydeau, the hour-long ON PURGE BÉBÉ is Jean Renoir’s first sound film. It was made in 1931, the same year as LA CHIENNE.
	On the Bowery Directed by Lionel Rogosin Starring Ray Salyer, Gorman Hendricks, Frank Matthews 1956 United States Duration: 1:05:00	Lionel Rogosin’s landmark of American neorealism chronicles three days in the drinking life of Ray Salyer, a part-time railroad worker adrift on New York’s skid row, the Bowery. When the film first opened in 1956, it exploded onto the screen, burning away years of Hollywood artifice, jump-starting America’s postwar independent-film scene, and earning an Academy Award nomination for best documentary. Developed in close collaboration with the men Rogosin met while spending months hanging out in neighborhood bars, ON THE BOWERY is both an indispensable document of a bygone Manhattan and a vivid and devastating portrait of addiction.
	On the Waterfront Directed by Elia Kazan 1954 United States Duration: 1:47:59	Marlon Brando gives the performance of his career as the tough prizefighter-turned-longshoreman Terry Malloy in this masterpiece of urban poetry. A raggedly emotional tale of individual failure and social corruption, ON THE WATERFRONT follows Terry’s deepening moral crisis as he must decide whether to remain loyal to the mob-connected union boss Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb) and Johnny’s right-hand man, Terry’s brother, Charley (Rod Steiger), as the authorities close in on them. Driven by the vivid, naturalistic direction of Elia Kazan and savory, streetwise dialogue by Budd Schulberg, ON THE WATERFRONT was an instant sensation, winning eight Oscars, including for best picture, director, actor, supporting actress (Eva Marie Saint), and screenplay.
	Opening Night Directed by John Cassavetes Starring Gena Rowlands, John Cassavetes, Ben Gazzara 1977 United States Duration: 2:24:22	While in the midst of rehearsals for her latest play, Broadway actor Myrtle Gordon (Gena Rowlands) witnesses the accidental death of an adoring young fan, after which she begins to confront the chaos of her own life. Headlined by a virtuoso performance by Rowlands, John Cassavetes’s OPENING NIGHT lays bare the drama of a performer who, at great personal cost, makes a part her own, and it functions as a metaphor for the director’s singular, wrenched-from-the-heart creative method.
	Open Mic Solitaire Directed by Julius-Amédée Laou Starring Serge Ubrette, Marilyne Canto 1983 France Duration: 18:21	Playwright Julius-Amédée Laou’s first foray into filmmaking is an explosive call to revolution in which a young Black artist—after learning that his brother has been murdered in Paris by far-right racists—hijacks a popular Franco-Caribbean radio station and takes to the airwaves, determined to speak directly to his community and shake it out of its complacency.
	Open Your Eyes Directed by Alejandro Amenábar Starring Penélope Cruz, Eduardo Noriega, Chete Lera 1997 Duration: 1:58:58	A dazzling science-fiction thriller circling around Hitchcockian themes of double identities and obsession, the sophomore feature from Spanish director Alejandro Amenábar (THE OTHERS) is a stylistically and intellectually exhilarating puzzle that inspired the Tom Cruise remake VANILLA SKY. Wealthy, handsome César (Eduardo Noriega) seems to have everything—until he finds himself in a psychiatric facility, his face disfigured from a car accident, and at the center of a strange existential mystery involving two women (Penélope Cruz and Najwa Nimri).
	L’Opéra mouffe Directed by Agnès Varda 1958 France Duration: 17:31	Pregnant with her first child, director Agnès Varda turned her camera to her immediate surroundings capturing day-to-day life along the Rue Mouffetard.

	Opera No. 1 Directed by Hal Hartley Starring Patricia Dunnock, Parker Posey, Adrienne Shelly 1994 United States Duration: 08:32	Mistaken identities, miscast spells, and rollerblades abound in this comical mini-opera following the exploits of two goddesses interfering with the lives of mortals.

	Orderly or Disorderly Directed by Abbas Kiarostami 1981 Iran Duration: 17:41	The first shot shows students descending a staircase in calm, orderly fashion, then the second details the same action as a chaotic rush. Separated by slates and director Abbas Kiarostami’s voice intoning, “Sound, camera,” subsequent sequences describe the same dichotomous behavior in a schoolyard, on a school bus, and in the haphazard traffic of Tehran. Kiarostami described this as “a truly educational film,” but it plays more like a quirky philosophic aside.
	Ordet Directed by Carl Th. Dreyer Starring Henrik Malberg, Emil Hass Christensen, Cay Kristiansen 1955 Denmark Duration: 2:06:09	A farmer’s family is torn apart by faith, sanctity, and love—one child believes he’s Jesus Christ, a second proclaims himself agnostic, and the third falls in love with a fundamentalist’s daughter. Putting the lie to the term “organized religion,” ORDET (THE WORD) is a challenge to simple facts and dogmatic orthodoxy. Layering multiple stories of faith and rebellion, Dreyer’s adaptation of Kaj Munk’s play quietly builds towards a shattering, miraculous climax.
	The Organizer Directed by Mario Monicelli Starring Marcello Mastroianni, Renato Salvatori, Annie Girardot 1963 Italy Duration: 2:09:54	In turn-of-the-twentieth-century Turin, an accident in a textile factory incites workers to stage a walkout. But it’s not until they receive unexpected aid from a traveling professor (Marcello Mastroianni) that they find their voice, unite, and stand up for themselves.

	Original Cast Album: “Company” Directed by D. A. Pennebaker Starring Stephen Sondheim, Elaine Stritch, Donna McKechnie 1970 United States Duration: 53:04	This legendary, long-unavailable documentary from Direct Cinema pioneer D. A. Pennebaker captures the behind-the-scenes drama that went into the making of a classic Broadway recording. When Stephen Sondheim’s groundbreaking concept musical “Company” opened on Broadway in 1970, it was an immediate triumph. Shortly thereafter, the actors, musicians, and Sondheim assembled to record the original cast album in a grueling, nearly nineteen-hour session that tested the talents of all involved—including Elaine Stritch, who pushed herself to the limit to record what would become her iconic version of “The Ladies Who Lunch.” With raw immediacy, Pennebaker and his crew document the explosive energy and creative intensity that go into capturing the lightning-in-a-bottle magic of live performance.
	Orlando, My Political Biography Directed by Paul B. Preciado Starring Oscar-Roza Miller, Yanis Sahraoui, Liz Christin 2023 France Duration: 1:42:52	“Come, come! I’m sick to death of this particular self. I want another.” Taking Virginia Woolf’s novel “Orlando: A Biography” as his starting point, academic virtuoso turned filmmaker Paul B. Preciado fashioned the documentary ORLANDO, MY POLITICAL BIOGRAPHY—a personal essay, historical analysis, and social manifesto. For almost a century, Woolf’s eponymous hero(ine) has inspired readers with their gender fluidity as well as their physical and spiritual metamorphoses across a three-hundred-year span. In making his film, Preciado invited a diverse group of more than twenty trans and nonbinary people to play the role of Orlando and to participate in this shared biography. Together, they perform interpretations of the novel, weaving into Woolf’s narrative their own stories of transition and identity formation. Not content to simply update a groundbreaking work, Preciado interrogates the relevance of “Orlando” in the ongoing struggle to secure dignity for trans people worldwide.
	Ornamental Hairpin Directed by Hiroshi Shimizu 1941 Japan Duration: 1:10:43	Two bruised souls enact a tender, hesitant romance in Hiroshi Shimizu's alternately poignant and playful wartime love story.

Seeking inspiration, the poet follows the princess from the world of the living to the land of the dead, through Cocteau’s famous mirrored portal.

	Ô saisons, ô châteaux Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Danièle Delorme 1958 France Duration: 21:47	Made early in Agnès Varda’s career, this lushly shot Eastmancolor short was commissioned by the national tourism board to promote the medieval castles of the Loire Valley region. It deviates from the standard travelogue format by making room for witty asides, lyrical montage, and the filmmaker’s abiding interest in everyday working-class people.
	Osaka Elegy Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi 1936 Japan Duration: 1:11:53	A critical and popular triumph, Osaka Elegy established Mizoguchi as one of Japan's major filmmakers. The director's often-used leading actress Isuzu Yamada stars as Ayako, a switchboard operator trapped in a compromising, ruinous relationship with her boss to help support her wastrel father. With its fluid cinematography and deft storytelling, Osaka Elegy ushered in a new era of sound melodrama for Mizoguchi.
	Os Humores Artificiais Directed by Gabriel Abrantes Starring Margarida Lucas, Amanda Rodarte, Gilda Nomacce 2016 Portugal Duration: 29:10	Taking Wittgenstein’s assertion that the most profound problems can only be discussed in the form of jokes as a starting point, OS HUMORES ARTIFICIAIS (“The Artificial Humors”) combines old-Hollywood aesthetics with documentary strategies to create a unique exploration of the anthropology of humor, indigenous identity, and artificial intelligence. The film follows a young girl from Brazil’s Xingu Indigenous Park to São Paulo, where she falls in love with a robot . . . who also happens to be a stand-up comedian.
	O Sport, You Are Peace! Directed by Juri Ozerov 1981 Soviet Union Duration: 2:29:22	O SPORT, YOU ARE PEACE! is the official film of the Games of the XXII Olympiad Moscow 1980, Games that were dogged by a boycott on the part of the United States because of the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan. Undeterred, Moscow devoted enormous effort to the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, setting the bar high for future host cities, and director Yuri Ozerov records them in loving detail.
	Ossos Directed by Pedro Costa 1997 Portugal Duration: 1:37:55	The first film in Pedro Costa's transformative trilogy about Fontainhas, an impoverished quarter of Lisbon, OSSOS is a tale of young lives torn apart by desperation. After a suicidal teenage girl gives birth, she misguidedly entrusts her baby's safety to the troubled, deadbeat father, whose violent actions take the viewer on a tour of the foreboding, crumbling shantytown in which they live. With its reserved, shadowy cinematography by Emmanuel Machuel (who collaborated with Bresson on L'argent), OSSOS is a haunting look at a devastated community.
	Otemba Directed by Kayo Hatta 1988 United States Duration: 16:02	Cultural traditions blend as a Japanese American family celebrates Christmas and a young girl tries to find her place within the family structure.
	Othello Directed by Orson Welles Starring Orson Welles, Suzanne Cloutier, Micheál MacLiammóir 1952 United States Duration: 1:33:29	Gloriously cinematic despite its tiny budget, Orson Welles’s OTHELLO is a testament to the filmmaker’s stubborn willingness to pursue his vision to the ends of the earth. Unmatched in his passionate identification with Shakespeare’s imagination, Welles brings his inventive visual approach to this enduring tragedy of jealousy, bigotry, and rage, and also gives a towering performance as the Moor of Venice, alongside Suzanne Cloutier as the innocent Desdemona, and Micheál MacLiammóir as the scheming Iago. Shot over the course of three years in Italy and Morocco and plagued by many logistical problems, this fiercely independent film joins MACBETH and CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT in making the case for Welles as the cinema’s most audacious interpreter of the Bard.
	The Other Also Directed by Hal Hartley Starring Miho Nikaido, Elina Löwensohn, James Urbaniak 1997 United States Duration: 07:28	A minimalist, atmospheric meditation on the theme of love focuses on reconciliation and forgiveness.

Khaled (Sherwan Haji), a displaced Syrian, lands in Helsinki as a stowaway; meanwhile, middle-aged Finnish salesman Wikström (Sakari Kuosmanen) leaves his wife and his job and buys a conspicuously unprofitable restaurant. Khaled is denied asylum but decides not to return to Aleppo, and the paths of the two men cross fortuitously. As deadpan as the best of the director's work, and with a deep well of empathy for its down-but-not-out characters (many of them played by members of Kaurismäki's loyal stock company), THE OTHER SIDE OF HOPE is a bittersweet celebration of pockets of human kindness in an unwelcoming world.
	The Other Directed by Youssef Chahine Starring Hany Salama, Hanan Turk, Nabila Ebeed 1999 Egypt Duration: 1:46:46	This wildly plotted drama marks the end of Youssef Chahine’s love affair with the United States, commenting on everything from capitalist greed to American cultural imperialism to terrorism within the context of a roiling Oedipal soap opera. Nabila Ebeed—one of Egypt’s leading box-office stars of the ’80s and ’90s—plays the jealous, possessive matriarch of a rich family who will stop at nothing to destroy her son’s marriage to an intrepid investigative journalist chasing a story about corruption among wealthy elites that may just hit a bit too close to home. Look out for a cameo from none other than Palestinian-American superstar intellectual Edward Said.
	Our Body Directed by Claire Simon 2023 France Duration: 2:56:15	Timely, intimate, and deeply empathetic, OUR BODY observes the everyday operations of the gynecological ward in a public hospital in Paris. In the process, veteran documentarian Claire Simon questions what it means to live in a woman’s body, filming the diversity, singularity, and beauty of patients at all stages of life. We see cancer screenings and fertility appointments, a teenager dealing with an unwanted pregnancy, a trans woman considering the beginnings of menopause. The specific fears, desires, and struggles of these individuals illuminate the health challenges we all face—even, as it comes to pass, the filmmaker herself.
	Our Father, the Devil Directed by Ellie Foumbi Starring Babetida Sadjo, Souleymane Sy Savane, Jennifer Tchiakpe 2021 United States Duration: 1:49:09	Ellie Foumbi’s elegant moral thriller is a grippingly intense exploration of trauma, revenge, and forgiveness that stands as one of the most exciting feature debuts in recent memory. Babetida Sadjo delivers a bravura performance as Marie, the head chef at a retirement home in small-town France, whose day-to-day life caring for residents, hanging out with her coworker and best friend, and teasing a potential new romance is disrupted by the arrival of Father Patrick (Souleymane Sy Savane), an African priest whom she recognizes from a terrifying episode in her homeland. As Father Patrick endears himself to those around her, Marie is forced to decide how to deal with this unwelcome reminder of her troubled past.

It was the first nightclub for Arabs from the suburbs—a parallel world of dance, sweat, young loves, and one-night utopias. Azedine, seventeen years old at the time, tells us the forgotten story of this club and of a generation who dreamed of integrating into French society but who soon came face-to-face with racism, the AIDS epidemic, and heroin.
	Paisan Directed by Roberto Rossellini Starring Carmela Sazio, Robert Van Loon, Dots M. Johnson 1946 Italy Duration: 2:06:26	Roberto Rossellini’s follow-up to his breakout ROME OPEN CITY was the ambitious, enormously moving PAISAN, which consists of six episodes set during the liberation of Italy at the end of World War II, and taking place across the country, from Sicily to the northern Po valley. With its documentary-like visuals and intermingled cast of actors and nonprofessionals, Italians and their American liberators, this look at the struggles of different cultures to communicate and of people to live their everyday lives in extreme circumstances is equal parts charming sentiment and vivid reality. A long-missing treasure of Italian cinema, PAISAN is available here in its full original release version.

Bewitchingly shot and edited, and laced with a fever-dream-like score by Toru Takemitsu, this gangster romance was a breakthrough for the idiosyncratic Masahiro Shinoda. The pitch-black PALE FLOWER (KAWAITA HANA) is an unforgettable excursion into the underworld.

	Pandora’s Box Directed by G. W. Pabst Starring Louise Brooks, Fritz Kortner, Francis Lederer 1929 Germany Duration: 2:21:13	One of the masters of early German cinema, G. W. Pabst had an innate talent for discovering actresses (including Greta Garbo). And perhaps none of his female stars shone brighter than Kansas native and onetime Ziegfeld girl Louise Brooks, whose legendary persona was defined by Pabst’s lurid, controversial melodrama PANDORA’S BOX. Sensationally modern, the film follows the downward spiral of the fiery, brash, yet innocent showgirl Lulu, whose sexual vivacity has a devastating effect on everyone she comes in contact with. Daring and stylish, PANDORA’S BOX is one of silent cinema’s great masterworks and a testament to Brooks’s dazzling individuality.
	Panique Directed by Julien Duvivier Starring Michel Simon, Viviane Romance, Paul Bernard 1946 France Duration: 1:38:44	Directed by Julien Duvivier • 1946 • France Starring Michel Simon, Viviane Romance, Paul Bernard Proud, eccentric, and antisocial, Monsieur Hire (Michel Simon) has always kept to himself. But after a woman turns up dead in the Paris suburb where he lives, he feels drawn to a pretty young newcomer to town (Viviane Romance), discovers that his neighbors are only too ready to suspect the worst of him, and is framed for the murder. Based on a novel by Georges Simenon, Julien Duvivier’s first film after his return to France from Hollywood finds the acclaimed poetic realist applying his consummate craft to darker, moodier ends. Propelled by its two deeply nuanced lead performances, the tensely noirish PANIQUE exposes the dangers of the knives-out mob mentality, delivering as well a pointed allegory for the behavior of Duvivier’s countrymen during the war.
	Parade Directed by Jacques Tati Starring Jacques Tati 1974 France Duration: 1:29:43	For his final film, Jacques Tati takes his camera to the circus, where the director himself serves as master of ceremonies. Though it features many spectacles, including clowns, jugglers, acrobats, contortionists, and more, PARADE also focuses on the spectators, making this stripped-down work a testament to the communion between audience and entertainment. Created for Swedish television (with Ingmar Bergman’s legendary director of photography Gunnar Fischer serving as one of its cinematographers), PARADE is a touching career send-off that recalls its maker’s origins as a mime and theater performer.
	Paragraph 175 Directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman 2000 United Kingdom Duration: 1:17:35	The Nazi persecution of homosexuals may be one of the least-told stories of the Third Reich. Directed by Oscar winners Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, PARAGRAPH 175 fills a crucial gap in the historical record, and reveals the lasting consequences of this hidden chapter of twentieth-century history. These are stories of survivors—sometimes bitter, but just as often filled with irony and humor; tortured by their memories, yet infused with a powerful will to endure. Their moving testimonies, rendered with evocative images of their lives and times, tell a haunting, compelling story of human resistance. Intimate in its portrayals, sweeping in its implications, PARAGRAPH 175 raises provocative questions about memory, history, and identity.
	Paris Belongs to Us Directed by Jacques Rivette Starring Betty Schneider, François Maistre, Giani Esposito 1961 France Duration: 2:22:05	One of the original critics turned filmmakers who helped jump-start the French New Wave, Jacques Rivette began shooting his debut feature in 1958, well before that cinema revolution officially kicked off with THE 400 BLOWS and BREATHLESS. Ultimately released in 1961, the rich and mysterious PARIS BELONGS TO US offers some of the radical flavor that would define the movement, with a particularly Rivettian twist. The film follows a young literature student (Betty Schneider) who befriends the members of a loose-knit group of twentysomethings in Paris, united by the apparent suicide of an acquaintance. Suffused with a lingering post-World War II disillusionment while also evincing the playfulness and fascination with theatrical performance and conspiracy that would become hallmarks for the director, PARIS BELONGS TO US marked the provocative start to a brilliant directorial career.

Made over seven years, PARIS IS BURNING offers an intimate portrait of rival fashion “houses,” from fierce contests for trophies to house mothers offering sustenance in a world rampant with homophobia, transphobia, racism, AIDS, and poverty. Featuring legendary voguers, drag queens, and trans women—including Willi Ninja, Pepper LaBeija, Dorian Corey, and Venus Xtravaganza—PARIS IS BURNING brings it, celebrating the joy of movement, the force of eloquence, and the draw of community.

PARIS, TEXAS follows the mysterious, nearly mute drifter Travis (a magnificent Harry Dean Stanton, whose face is a landscape all its own) as he tries to reconnect with his young son, living with his brother (Dean Stockwell) in Los Angeles, and his missing wife (Nastassja Kinski). From this simple setup, Wenders and Shepard produce a powerful statement on codes of masculinity and the myth of the American family, as well as an exquisite visual exploration of a vast, crumbling world of canyons and neon.

	Passing Fancy Directed by Yasujiro Ozu 1933 Japan Duration: 1:40:22	The first of many films featuring the endearing single-dad Kihachi (played wonderfully by Takeshi Sakamoto), PASSING FANCY is a humorous and heartfelt study of a close, if fraught, father-son relationship. With an ever more sophisticated visual style and understanding of fragile human relationships, Ozu seamlessly weaves rib-tickling comedy and weighty family drama for this distinguished precursor to a brilliant career.
	The Passionate Friends Directed by David Lean Starring Ann Todd, Trevor Howard, Claude Rains 1949 United States Duration: 1:31:12	Four years after David Lean crafted what may be the screen’s most piercing examination of extramarital romance with BRIEF ENCOUNTER, he returned to a similar subject in this exquisite tale of a woman torn between the stability of marriage and the thrill of an affair. Adapted from a novel by H. G. Wells, THE PASSIONATE FRIENDS follows Mary Justin (Ann Todd), who years ago gave up romance with Steven Stratton (Trevor Howard) for a comfortable but routine marriage to Howard (Claude Rains in one of his finest performances).

Dreyer • 1928 • France Starring Renée Falconetti, Eugène Silvain, André Berley 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.
	The Passion of Remembrance Directed by Maureen Blackwood and Isaac Julien Starring Anni Domingo, Joseph Charles, Carlton Chance 1986 United Kingdom Duration: 1:23:01	One of the major works of the revolutionary Sankofa Film and Video Collective, this radically innovative film explores issues of Black British culture, gender, and sexuality via a mix of documentary, monologue, and dialogue that weaves together two narratives: a conversation between a man and a woman about their experiences living in the UK, and a decades-spanning series of episodes in the lives of one family. An early collaboration between pioneering feminist filmmaker Maureen Blackwood and acclaimed multimedia artist Isaac Julien, THE PASSION OF REMEMBRANCE provides a thought-provoking and formally audacious framework for considering the complexities of postcolonial identity.

A depiction of rural Bengali life in a style inspired by Italian neorealism, this naturalistic but poetic evocation of a number of years in the life of a family introduces us to both little Apu and, just as essentially, the women who will help shape him: his independent older sister, Durga; his harried mother, Sarbajaya, who, with her husband away, must hold the family together; and his kindly and mischievous elderly “auntie,” Indir—vivid, multifaceted characters all. With resplendent photography informed by its young protagonist’s perpetual sense of discovery, PATHER PANCHALI, which won an award for Best Human Document at Cannes, is an immersive cinematic experience and a film of elemental power.

	Peppermint Frappé Directed by Carlos Saura 1967 Spain Duration: 1:34:13	Carlos Saura's PEPPERMINT FRAPPE was made in the mid-1960s, when Franco's fascist regime was still ruling Spain, and the movie is very much an allegory about its own era -- a rigidly conservative middle-aged man finds himself hopelessly enamored of his best friend's wife, and runs up against the boundaries that his beliefs place on his behavior.

Tora! and the Space Cruiser Yamato films. But he began his career in the middle-late 1950s with The Perfect Game (aka Kanzen Na Yuugi), a shockingly amoral tale of delinquency, rape, and murder that was to Japan, what In Cold Blood was to American cinema. It was among the earliest works in the career of a director who has generated little except major box office hits in Japan since the 1950s.

	Permanent Vacation Directed by Jim Jarmusch Starring Chris Parker, Sara Driver, John Lurie 1980 United States Duration: 1:14:55	Jim Jarmusch’s first feature displays the first hints of the deadpan, minimalist-cool style that he would refine in his breakthrough STRANGER THAN PARADISE. Young, alienated hipster Aloysius Christopher Parker (Chris Parker) wanders an eerily vacant Manhattan searching for a sense of meaning while encountering an array of idiosyncratic characters. Downtown fixtures Sara Driver, Eric Mitchell, and John Lurie (who composed the film’s score) are among the eccentrics and vagabonds populating this existential urban odyssey.
	Persona Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Liv Ullmann, Bibi Andersson 1966 Sweden Duration: 1:23:44	By the midsixties, Ingmar Bergman had already conjured many of the cinema’s most unforgettable images.

In the first of a series of legendary performances for Bergman, Liv Ullmann plays a stage actor who has inexplicably gone mute; an equally mesmerizing Bibi Andersson is the garrulous young nurse caring for her in a remote island cottage. While isolated together there, the women undergo a mysterious spiritual and emotional transference. Performed with astonishing nuance and shot in stark contrast and soft light by Sven Nykvist, the influential PERSONA is a penetrating, dreamlike work of profound psychological depth.

A stirring depiction of grief in the form of a psychological thriller, PERSONAL SHOPPER—which won Assayas the best director award at Cannes—is a chilling meditation on modern modes of communication and the way we mourn those we love.

	Le petit soldat Directed by Jean-Luc Godard Starring Michel Subor, Anna Karina, Henri-Jacques Huet 1963 France Duration: 1:28:22	Before his convention-shattering debut, BREATHLESS, had even premiered, Jean-Luc Godard leapt into the making of his second feature, a thriller that would tackle the most controversial subject in France: the use of torture in the Algerian War. Despite his lack of political convictions, photojournalist Bruno Forestier (Michel Subor) is roped into a paramilitary group waging a shadow war in Geneva against the Algerian independence movement. Anna Karina (in her first collaboration with Godard, whose camera is visibly besotted with her) is beguiling as the mysterious woman with whom Forestier becomes infatuated. Banned for two and a half years by French censors for its depiction of brutal tactics on the part of the French government and the Algerian fighters alike, LE PETIT SOLDAT finds the young Godard already retooling cinema as a vehicle for existential inquiry, political argument, and ephemeral portraiture—in other words, as a medium for delivering “truth twenty-four times per second.”

The story, based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Selma Lagerlöf, concerns an alcoholic, abusive ne’er-do-well (Sjöström himself) who is shown the error of his ways, and the pure-of-heart Salvation Army sister who believes in his redemption. This extraordinarily rich and innovative silent classic (which inspired Ingmar Bergman to make movies) is a Dickensian ghost story and a deeply moving morality tale, as well as a showcase for groundbreaking special effects.

Featuring an elegant soiree with guests seated at toilet bowls, poker-playing monks using religious medals as chips, and police officers looking for a missing girl who is right under their noses, this perverse, playfully absurd comedy of non sequiturs deftly compiles many of the themes that preoccupied Buñuel throughout his career—from the hypocrisy of conventional morality to the arbitrariness of social arrangements.

As bizarre portents—a bat-shaped shadow without a source, a door sealed by a crucifix, a cellar full of coffins—accumulate, they begin to fear that the place is haunted. With chiaroscuro camera work, expressionistic set design, and gothic atmosphere to burn, THE PHANTOM OF THE MONASTERY is one of the most influential Mexican horror films of all time, as well as a key triumph for director Fernando de Fuentes, considered by many to be the country’s most notable director of the 1930s.

Without recognizing her, he enlists her to play his wife in a bizarre hall-of-shattered-mirrors story that is as richly metaphorical as it is preposterously engrossing. Revenge film or tale of romantic reconciliation? One doesn't know until the superb closing scene of this marvel from Christian Petzold, one of the most important figures in contemporary German cinema.

As she slowly adjusts to her new job, her obsession with creating the perfect equine sounds grows (literally) into something more tangible. In the midst of a radical physical transformation, Eva becomes more confident and empowered—ultimately luring an unassuming botanist into an intriguing game of submission.
	The Piano Teacher Directed by Michael Haneke Starring Isabelle Huppert, Benoît Magimel 2001 France Duration: 2:11:01	In this riveting study of the dynamics of control, Academy Award–winning director Michael Haneke takes on Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek’s controversial 1983 novel about perverse female sexuality and the world of classical music. Haneke finds his match in Isabelle Huppert, who delivers an icy but quietly seething performance as Erika, a piano professor at a Viennese conservatory who lives with her mother in a claustrophobically codependent relationship. Severely repressed, she satisfies her masochistic urges only voyeuristically until she meets Walter (Benoît Magimel), a student whose desire for Erika leads to a destructive infatuation that upsets the careful equilibrium of her life. A critical breakthrough for Haneke, THE PIANO TEACHER—which won the Grand Prix as well as dual acting awards for its stars at Cannes—is a formalist masterwork that remains a shocking sensation.

As his compulsive pursuit of the thrill of stealing grows, however, so does his fear that his luck is about to run out.

Less a mystery than a journey into the mystic, as well as an inquiry into issues of class and sexual repression in Australian society, Weir’s gorgeous, disquieting film is a work of poetic horror whose secrets haunt viewers to this day.

The documentary captures in unflinching detail—and in beautifully unpolished black-and-white cinematography—the procedural killing, dismembering, and processing of the animal, resulting in a depiction of both the physical gruesomeness and artisanal craft of such work. THE PIG not only builds upon Eustache’s ethnographic representation of working-class customs and traditions in the previous year’s THE VIRGIN OF PESSAC but also develops the tough yet compassionate lens he would soon apply to his narrative features.

A paragon of 1960s modernist cool thanks to effortlessly chic clothes and a loungy Michel Legrand score, LA PISCINE dives deep to reveal sinister undercurrents roiling beneath its seductive surfaces.

	Plácido Directed by Luis García Berlanga Starring Cassen, José Luis López Vázquez, Elvira Quintillá 1961 Spain Duration: 1:28:18	Widely considered one of the greatest works of Spanish cinema, this relentlessly paced satire chronicles an ill-advised charity campaign sweeping across a small industrial town on Christmas Eve. The brainchild of attention-hungry society women, the holiday initiative encourages wealthy citizens to break bread with the less fortunate—“if only for one night.” As the festivities devolve into a grotesque media frenzy, a struggling family man enlisted to help on the project desperately tries to make a payment on his three-wheeler before it is repossessed. Marking the start of Berlanga’s fruitful collaboration with screenwriter Rafael Azcona, this delightfully cacophonous takedown of upper-class hypocrisy unfolds in expertly choreographed long takes that showcase the director as a master of comedic mischief.
	Le plaisir Directed by Max Ophuls Starring Danielle Darrieux, Jean Gabin, Simone Simon 1952 France Duration: 1:38:02	Roving with his dazzlingly mobile camera around the decadent ballrooms, bucolic countryside retreats, urban bordellos, and painter's studios of late nineteenth-century French life, Max Ophuls brings his astonishing visual dexterity and storytelling bravura to this triptych of tales by Guy de Maupassant about the limits of spiritual and physical pleasure. Featuring a stunning cast of French stars (including Danielle Darrieux, Jean Gabin, and Simone Simon), LE PLAISIR pinpoints the cruel ironies and happy compromises of life with a charming and sophisticated breeziness.
	Plaisir d’amour en Iran Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Valérie Mairesse, Ali Rafie 1977 France Duration: 06:45	In this 1977 short film by Agnès Varda, Pauline and Darius explore the city of Isfahan, Iran.
	Plan 75 Directed by Chie Hayakawa Starring Chieko Baisho, Hayato Isomura, Stefanie Arianne 2022 Japan Duration: 1:52:38	In a dystopian future, Japan’s government launches Plan 75, a program encouraging the elderly to terminate their own lives to relieve its rapidly aging population’s social and economic burdens. In Chie Hayakawa’s remarkable and sensitive feature debut, the lives of three ordinary citizens—an elderly woman no longer able to live independently (the legendary Chieko Baisho, in a moving late-career performance), an initially eager Plan 75 salesman (Hayato Isomura), and an immigrant care worker (Stephanie Arianne)—intersect in this new reality as they confront the crushing callousness of a world ready to dispose of those no longer deemed valuable. Hayakawa’s view is far from grim, however, as these characters soon learn to fully reckon with their own lives and what it truly means to live.
	Planet X Directed by Ulysses Jenkins 2006 United States Duration: 06:34	Ulysses Jenkins looks at the Katrina catastrophe in New Orleans through the lens of the Planet X doomsday myth and a proclamation of coming disaster to African Americans issued by avant-garde jazz prophet Sun Ra.
	Platform Directed by Jia Zhangke Starring Wang Hongwei, Zhao Tao, Jindong Liang 2000 China Duration: 2:35:20	One of the first masterpieces of twenty-first century cinema, Jia Zhangke’s sophomore feature is an at once epic and intimate vision of the changing China of the 1980s. Unfolding between 1979 and 1990, PLATFORM centers around a provincial theater troupe who go from performing Maoist propaganda as the Fenyang Peasant Culture Group to playing western-influenced pop music as the All-Star Rock and Breakdance Electronic Band—along the way finding themselves increasingly adrift in a society suspended between tradition and modernization.
	Play Directed by Ruben Östlund Starring Anas Abdirahman, Sebastian Blyckert, Yannick Diakité 2011 Sweden Duration: 2:05:30	Based on real events, this provocative exploration of group and racial dynamics centers on a band of Black teenagers in Gothenburg who concoct an elaborate game of deception, manipulation, and humiliation in order to steal cell phones from white and Asian Swedish boys. Explosively controversial in Sweden for its interrogation of the relationship between race and power, PLAY finds Östlund at his most challenging and unsettling.
	The Player Directed by Robert Altman Starring Tim Robbins, Greta Scacchi, Fred Ward 1992 United States Duration: 2:04:26	A Hollywood studio executive with a shaky moral compass (Tim Robbins) finds himself caught up in a criminal situation that would be right at home in one of his movie projects, in this biting industry satire from Robert Altman. Mixing elements of film noir with sly insider comedy, THE PLAYER, based on a novel by Michael Tolkin, functions as both a nifty stylish murder story and a commentary on its own making, and it is stocked with a heroic supporting cast (Peter Gallagher, Whoopi Goldberg, Greta Scacchi, Dean Stockwell, Fred Ward) and a lineup of star cameos that make for an astonishing Hollywood who's who. This complexly woven grand entertainment (which kicks off with one of American cinema's most audacious and acclaimed opening shots) was the film that marked Altman's triumphant commercial comeback in the early 1990s.
	PlayTime Directed by Jacques Tati Starring Jacques Tati, Barbara Dennek, Georges Montant 1967 Italy Duration: 2:04:08	Jacques Tati’s gloriously choreographed, nearly wordless comedies about confusion in an age of high technology reached their apotheosis with PLAYTIME. For this monumental achievement, a nearly three-year-long, bank-breaking production, Tati again thrust the lovably old-fashioned Monsieur Hulot, along with a host of other lost souls, into a baffling modern world, this time Paris. With every inch of its superwide frame crammed with hilarity and inventiveness, PLAYTIME is a lasting record of a modern era tiptoeing on the edge of oblivion.
	Pleasant Grove Directed by David Gordon Green 1997 United States Duration: 15:09	Shot in 1996, when director David Gordon Green was a student at the North Carolina School of the Arts, PLEASANT GROVE was the inspiration for GEORGE WASHINGTON. The film is presented here with commentary by Green, cinematographer Tim Orr, and actor Paul Schneider.

	Pleasures of the Flesh Directed by Nagisa Oshima 1965 Japan Duration: 1:31:23	A corrupt businessman blackmails the lovelorn reprobate Atsushi into watching over his suitcase full of embezzled cash while he serves a jail sentence. Rather than wait for the man to retrieve his money, however, Atsushi decides to spend it all in one libidinous rush, fully expecting to be tracked down and killed. Oshima's dip into the waters of the popular soft-core "pink film" genre is a compelling journey into excess.
	The Plot Against Harry Directed by Michael Roemer Starring Martin Priest, Ben Lang, Maxine Woods 1969 United States Duration: 1:20:26	A treasure of American independent filmmaking that was neglected for decades until its triumphant rediscovery, writer-director-producer Michael Roemer’s feature follow-up to his landmark NOTHING BUT A MAN is a wryly observed, delectably deadpan comedy set in the world of New York’s Jewish community and the small-time mobsters operating within it. After two decades behind bars, low-level racketeer Harry Plotnick (memorably cow-eyed Martin Priest) is released into a changed city he hardly recognizes. As he attempts to reconnect with his estranged family, he finds himself launched on a subtly surreal journey through an unfamiliar, middle-class world that seems to have no place for him.
	The Plough and the Stars Directed by John Ford 1936 United States Duration: 1:07:31	A husband clashes with his wife over his membership to the Irish Citizen Army when she burns a letter informing him of a promotion.
	Plucking the Daisy Directed by Marc Allégret 1956 France Duration: 1:41:56	When ultra-respectable General Dumont discovers that his nubile daughter Agnes is "A.D.", author of a scandalous under-the-counter novel, he wants her shipped to a convent; but she escapes to Paris, planning to live with her brother, ostensibly a rich artist but really a poor guide in the Balzac Museum. This misunderstanding gets both in serious trouble, and puts Agnes in immediate need of money...just the amount offered as grand prize in an amateur striptease contest, which her new boyfriend, reporter Daniel, is covering for his magazine...
	The Plumber Directed by Peter Weir 1979 Australia Duration: 1:17:38	A mysterious tradesman (Ivar Kants) shows up unbidden at the home of an academic couple (Judy Morris, Robert Colby) and proceeds over the next few days to disassemble their bathroom and related fixtures. The wife seems particularly disturbed by the man's presence and work habits, but both soon find the underpinnings of their intellectual lives and self-image being dismantled along with their pipes, walls, and ceilings in this offbeat Australian comedy.
	A Poem Is a Naked Person Directed by Les Blank 1974 United States Duration: 1:30:08	Les Blank considered this free-form feature documentary about beloved singer-songwriter Leon Russell, filmed between 1972 and 1974, to be one of his greatest accomplishments. Yet it has not been released until now. Hired by Russell to film him at his recording studio in northeast Oklahoma, Blank ended up constructing a unique, intimate portrait of a musician and his environment. Made up of mesmerizing scenes of Russell and his band performing, both in concert and in the studio, as well as off-the-cuff moments behind the scenes, this singular film - which also features performances by Willie Nelson and George Jones - has attained legendary status over the years. It's a work of rough beauty that serves as testament to Blank's cinematic daring and Russell's immense musical talents.
	Poetic Justice Directed by Hollis Frampton 1972 United States Duration: 31:51	Presented here is the second film of Hollis Frampton’s seven-film Hapax Legomena cycle, the title of which means ‘things said one time.’ Frampton considered the works in the cycle to be interrelated, but also to be ‘detachable parts.’
	Poil de carotte Directed by Julien Duvivier 1932 France Duration: 1:32:08	Julien Duvivier remade his own silent adaptation of a popular turn-of-the-twentieth-century novella and play for the sound era, resulting in one of his most beloved films. In a tremendously moving performance, Robert Lynen plays the neglected young François, mockingly called Poil de Carotte (Carrottop) by his family for his mop of red hair. Duvivier sensitively charts the rural daily life of a boy desperate to connect with others, especially his distracted father, played by the chameleonic Harry Baur.
	Point and Line to Plane Directed by Sofia Bohdanowicz Starring Deragh Campbell 2020 Canada Duration: 18:37	Grieving the loss of a loved one, Audrey Benac (Deragh Campbell) begins to see traces of him in unexpected places—in chocolate, in the music of Mozart, and in the paintings of Hilma af Klint and Wassily Kandinsky—in this elegiac study of the relationship between perception and our state of mind.
	La Pointe Courte Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Silvia Monfort, Philippe Noiret 1955 France Duration: 1:21:12	The great Agnès Varda’s film career began with this graceful, penetrating study of a marriage on the rocks, set against the backdrop of a small Mediterranean fishing village. Both a stylized depiction of the complicated relationship between a married couple (played by Silvia Monfort and Philippe Noiret) and a documentary-like look at the daily struggles of the locals, Varda’s discursive, gorgeously filmed debut was radical enough to later be considered one of the progenitors of the coming French New Wave.
	La poison Directed by Sacha Guitry Starring Michel Simon, Germaine Reuver, Jean Debucourt 1951 France Duration: 1:25:46	The writer, actor, and director Sacha Guitry emerged from the theater to become one of France’s best-known and most inventive filmmakers, and LA POISON marked his first major collaboration with another titan of the screen, the incomparably expressive Michel Simon. With Guitry’s witty dialogue and fleet pacing, this black comedy is the quintessential depiction of a marriage gone sour: after thirty years together, a village gardener (Simon) and his wife (Germaine Reuver) find themselves contemplating how to do away with each other, with the former even planning how he’ll negotiate his eventual criminal trial. Inspired by Guitry’s own post–World War II tangle with the law—a wrongful charge of collaborationism—LA POISON is a blithely caustic broadside against the French legal system and a society all too eager to capitalize on the misfortunes of others.
	Police Story Directed by Jackie Chan Starring Jackie Chan, Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung 1985 Hong Kong Duration: 1:40:50	Directed by Jackie Chan • 1985 • Hong Kong Starring Jackie Chan, Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung The jaw-dropping set pieces fly fast and furious in Jackie Chan’s breathtakingly inventive martial-arts comedy, a smash hit that made him a worldwide icon of daredevil action spectacle. The director/star/one-man stunt machine plays Ka-Kui, a Hong Kong police inspector who goes rogue to bring down a drug kingpin and protect the case’s star witness (Chinese cinema legend Brigitte Lin) from retribution. Packed wall-to-wall with charmingly goofball slapstick and astoundingly acrobatic fight choreography—including an epic shopping-mall melee of flying fists and shattered glass—POLICE STORY set a new standard for rock-’em-sock-’em mayhem that would influence a generation of filmmakers from Hong Kong to Hollywood.
	Police Story 2 Directed by Jackie Chan Starring Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung 1988 Hong Kong Duration: 2:02:13	Jackie Chan followed up the massive success of POLICE STORY with an even bigger box-office hit. Having been demoted to a lowly traffic cop for his, ahem, unorthodox policing methods, Chan’s go-it-alone officer Ka-Kui quits the force in protest. But it isn’t long before he’s back in action, racing the clock to stop a band of serial bombers and win back his much-put-upon girlfriend May (the phenomenal Maggie Cheung, reprising her star-making role). Boasting epic explosions, an awesomely 1980s electro soundtrack, and a showstopping finale—which turns an abandoned warehouse into a life-size pinball machine of cascading oil drums, collapsing scaffolds, and shooting fireworks—POLICE STORY 2 confirmed Chan’s status as a performer of unparalleled grace and daring.
	Polygraph Directed by Samira Saraya Starring Samira Saraya, Hadas Yaron, Fidaa Zidan 2020 Israel Duration: 20:30	Yasmine, an openly lesbian Arab nurse living in Tel Aviv, finds out that her lover, an intelligence officer in the Israeli army, has been reporting on their relationship. Their affair is further strained by a visit from Yasmine’s sister, who arrives from the West Bank not knowing that she is going to meet the occupying enemy in her own sister’s home.
	Porcile Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini Starring Pierre Clémenti, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Alberto Lionello 1969 Italy Duration: 1:38:49	“I killed my father. I ate human flesh. I quiver with joy.” Provocateur Pier Paolo Pasolini is at his most incendiary in PORCILE (“Pigsty”), a double-edged allegory on fascism, consumerism, and resistance. In one story, a defiant man (Pierre Clémenti) perpetrates increasingly barbaric acts while wandering a mythic, volcanic landscape. In the other, the scion (Jean-Pierre Léaud) of a wealthy, ex-Nazi industrial family conceals a shocking proclivity. Taken together, these stories of transgression form a scathing commentary on postwar European moral rot and the meaning of rebellion in the face of a corrupt world.
	The Pornographers Directed by Shohei Imamura Starring Shoichi Ozawa, Sumiko Sakamoto, Masaomi Kondo 1966 Japan Duration: 2:07:37	Subu makes pornographic films. He sees nothing wrong with it. They are an aid to a repressed society, and he uses the money to support his landlady, Haru, and her family. From time to time, Haru shares her bed with Subu, though she believes her dead husband, reincarnated as a carp, disapproves. Director Shohei Imamura has always delighted in the kinky exploits of lowlifes, and in this 1966 classic, he finds subversive humor in the bizarre dynamics of Haru, her Oedipal son, and her daughter, the true object of her pornographer-boyfriend’s obsession. Imamura’s comic treatment of such taboos as voyeurism and incest sparked controversy when the film was released, but THE PORNOGRAPHERS has outlasted its critics, and now seems frankly ahead of its time.
	Les portes de la nuit Directed by Marcel Carné 1946 France Duration: 1:50:51	On a winter night in Paris after the liberation, Jean Diego will meet a long lost comrade, villains of the war, a prophesizing tramp, and the most beautiful woman in the world. Directed by Marcel Carné.
	Port of Call Directed by Ingmar Bergman 1948 Sweden Duration: 1:37:53	In Ingmar Bergman's PORT OF CALL, Berit, a suicidal young woman living in a working-class port town, unexpectedly falls for Gösta, a sailor on leave. Haunted by a troubled past and held in a vice grip by her domineering mother, Berit begins to hope that her relationship with Gösta might save her from self-destruction.
	Porto of My Childhood Directed by Manoel de Oliveira Starring Jorge Trêpa, Ricardo Trêpa, Maria de Medeiros 2001 France Duration: 58:29	With the freedom and rigor that were his trademarks, Portuguese master Manoel de Oliveira returned to Porto, the city where he had been born ninety-three years before, for this sublimely evocative documentary collage. The Porto of this childhood is a city laden with history, a city of artists and thinkers. As in a spiral, the film moves from the ruins of the house where the filmmaker was born to the streets of the city that, in 1896, saw the birth of cinema in Portugal. PORTO OF MY CHILDHOOD takes the form of a search: fragments of memories, footprints, testimonies, song lyrics, and photographs are all portals to a distant past that echoes into the present.
	Portrait of Jason Directed by Shirley Clarke Starring Jason Holliday 1967 United States Duration: 1:47:36	On the night of December 2, 1966, Shirley Clarke and a tiny crew convened in her apartment at the Hotel Chelsea to make a film. For twelve straight hours, they filmed the one-and-only Jason Holliday as he spun tales, sang, donned costumes, and reminisced about good times and bad behavior as a gay hustler and aspiring cabaret performer. The result is a mesmerizing portrait of a remarkable, charming, and tortured man who is by turns hilarious and heartbreaking.
	The Portrait Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita 1948 Japan Duration: 1:13:28	An unscrupulous couple plans to take advantage of the artist who rents them a room, but his kind personality soon catches them offguard. Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita.
	Il posto Directed by Ermanno Olmi Starring Sandro Panseri, Loredana Detto 1961 Italy Duration: 1:37:39	When young Domenico (Sandro Panseri) ventures from the small village of Meda to Milan in search of employment, he finds himself on the bottom rung of the bureaucratic ladder in a huge, faceless company. The prospects are daunting, but Domenico finds reason for hope in the fetching Antonietta (Loredana Detto). A tender coming-of-age story and a sharp observation of dehumanizing corporate enterprise, Ermanno Olmi’s IL POSTO (“The Job,” a.k.a. THE SOUND OF TRUMPETS) is a touching and hilarious tale of one young man’s stumbling entrance into the perils of modern adulthood.
	The Potluck and the Passion Directed by Cheryl Dunye Starring Jen Benoit, Shelita Birchett, Pat Branch 1993 United States Duration: 21:53	Sparks fly as racial, sexual, and social politics intermingle at a lesbian potluck.
	Poto and Cabengo Directed by Jean-Pierre Gorin 1980 United States Duration: 1:13:29	Grace and Virginia are young San Diego twins who speak unlike anyone else. With little exposure to the outside world, the two girls have created a private form of communication that's an amalgam of the distinctive English dialects they hear at home. Jean-Pierre Gorin's polyphonic nonfiction investigation of this phenomenon looks at the family from a variety of angles, with the director taking on the role of a sort of sociological detective. It's a delightful and absorbing study of words and faces, mass media and personal isolation, and America's odd margins.
	Powwow Highway Directed by Jonathan Wacks Starring A Martinez, Gary Farmer, Joanelle Romero 1989 United States Duration: 1:31:10	The road-movie genre gets a lyrical twist shot through with Native American spirituality in this bittersweet portrait of two Cheyenne men on a journey through the American West and their own identities. Buddy Red Bow (A Martinez) is struggling, in the face of greedy developers, to keep his nation on a Montana Cheyenne Reservation financially solvent and independent. Philbert (Gary Farmer), his easygoing friend, pursues Native wisdom and lore wherever he can find it—even on “Bonanza.” As the two set off on a journey to bail out Buddy’s imprisoned sister, Philbert’s gentle faith challenges Buddy’s hard-edged view of the world, and together they face the realities and dreams of being Cheyenne in the modern-day U.S.
	A Prayer Directed by Sofia Bohdanowicz Starring Maria Bohdanowicz 2013 Canada Duration: 06:51	A hymn to workers by the Polish poet Zofia Bohdanowiczowa is set to quiet moments in the everyday life of her daughter-in-law, Maria Bohdanowicz, in this tender tribute that connects three generations of the filmmaker’s family.
	Prefab Story Directed by Věra Chytilová Starring Lukás Bech, Antonín Vanha, Eva Kacírková 1979 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:40:25	One of the unsung masterpieces of Věra Chytilová’s still largely obscure post-sixties career, this stingingly satiric yet deeply human tragicomedy surveys the everyday absurdity of existence in a ramshackle, perpetually under-construction prefab housing complex: a monument to Soviet idealism that, in its forlorn shoddiness, becomes a symbol of its failings. Blending slapsticks gags with a jagged vérité visual style, Chytilová fashions a devastatingly funny portrait of life in a (literally) crumbling society.
	Premonitions Following an Evil Deed Directed by David Lynch 1995 United States Duration: 01:21	Police discover a naked dead body.
	Presentation, or Charlotte and Her Steak Directed by Eric Rohmer 1951 France Duration: 10:11	Walter and Charlotte are a young couple who engage in an awkward conversation before Charlotte is set to take a train out of town.

	Primary Directed by Robert Drew 1960 United States Duration: 53:19	Robert Drew's groundbreaking 1960 film PRIMARY is one of the most important and influential documentaries in the history of the medium. A pioneering work in the documentary movement that came to be known as cinéma vérité, PRIMARY follows the young charismatic senator from Massachusetts, John F. Kennedy, as he goes head-to-head with established Minnesota senator Hubert Humphrey to win the Wisconsin presidential primary in April 1960.
	A Prince Directed by Pierre Creton Starring Antoine Pirotte, Pierre Creton, Grégory Gadebois 2023 France Duration: 1:22:30	Shortlisted for the Cannes Queer Palm award, this subtly surreal pastoral from ever-fascinating outsider auteur Pierre Creton is a strange and sensuous saga of botany and sex that unfolds across generations. Told almost entirely through voice-over narration by Gallic luminaries Mathieu Amalric, Françoise Lebrun, and Grégory Gadebois, A PRINCE follows the journey of a young man (Antoine Pirotte) as he begins an apprenticeship in the French countryside to train as a gardener. There he encounters a trio of men who will prove decisive in both his nascent career as a horticulturist and in unleashing his sexuality.

	Prisoner’s Cinema Directed by Beatriz Santiago Muñoz 2013 Puerto Rico Duration: 31:04	After prolonged incarceration and sensory deprivation, some prisoners experience visual hallucinations filled with extraordinary luminescence and color—visions sometimes referred to as “prisoner’s cinema.” Drawing on the writings of Puerto Rican artist and author Elizam Escobar—who served nineteen years in U.S. prisons for the crime of seditious conspiracy—Beatriz Santiago Muñoz creates the film that might have been imagined by Escobar during his incarceration.
	A Private Function Directed by Malcolm Mowbray Starring Maggie Smith, Michael Palin, Bill Paterson 1984 United Kingdom Duration: 1:36:46	Harkening back to the classic Ealing comedies, this shrewd social satire (scripted by Alan Bennett) features marvelous performances from Maggie Smith and Michael Palin as Joyce and Gilbert Chilvers, a husband and wife living through the stringent food rationing of post–World War II England. When the ambitious Joyce sees a chance to improve her social station by stealing an illegally raised pig (“Pork is power!”), she convinces the compliant Gilbert to abduct the swine. Suddenly the pair find themselves thrust into the black-market meat business—but they’ll have to dodge a vigilant food inspector (Bill Paterson) if they hope to truly bring home the bacon.
	The Private Life of Don Juan Directed by Alexander Korda 1934 United Kingdom Duration: 1:27:14	Douglas Fairbanks Sr. makes his big-screen swan song with Korda's deliciously satiric deflation of the Don Juan myth. After having faked his own death and escaped Seville, the aging lothario returns, only to find that he has been promptly forgotten; perhaps Merle Oberon's raven-haired beauty can coax him back into business. DON JUAN was a rare "talkie" for Fairbanks, and a shrewd poking at the actor's own persona.
	The Private Life of Henry VIII Directed by Alexander Korda 1933 United Kingdom Duration: 1:34:12	Charles Laughton gulps beer and chomps on mutton, in his first of many iconic screen roles, as King Henry VIII, the ultimate anti-husband.

	Privates on Parade Directed by Michael Blakemore Starring John Cleese, Denis Quilley, Patrick Pearson 1983 United Kingdom Duration: 1:53:11	This gloriously gay adaptation of the play by Peter Nichols centers on the exploits of SADUSEA (it’s pronounced “sad you see”)—the Song and Dance Unit, Southeast Asia, a theatrical troupe stationed in the Malayan jungle during the 1940s to entertain the British troops there. Farce and melodrama mingle as the sensibilities of pompous, militaristic Major Giles Flack (the great John Cleese) and Acting Captain Terri Dennis (Denis Quilley), a campy drag performer who impersonates Carmen Miranda and Marlene Dietrich, clash in the waning days of the British Empire.
	Process Red Directed by Hollis Frampton 1966 United States Duration: 03:58	“One of the striking things about [T.S. Eliot’s] ‘The Waste Land’ [...] is that it tends to shift decorum in every line. Of course, the possibility that a poem could look a different way in every consecutive line turned out to be a tremendously powerful tool for composition. [...] So I was coming from there, and, indeed, from a much more general context, part of which had recognized as an opposition violent shifts in decorum.” - Hollis Frampton
	Prof at Home Painting Directed by Jake Meginsky 2021 United States Duration: 02:48	In the months before he passed away, Milford Graves created the paintings that were displayed at the Fridman Gallery and Artists Space by vibrating the paint to the frequencies of old reel-to-reel practice tapes and the sound of his own heart.

	La promesse Directed by Luc Dardenne and Jean-Pierre Dardenne Starring Jérémie Renier, Olivier Gourmet, Assita Ouédraogo 1996 Belgium Duration: 1:34:24	LA PROMESSE is the breakthrough feature from Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne, who would go on to become a force in world filmmaking. The brothers brought the unerring eye for detail and the compassion for those on society’s lowest rungs developed in their earlier documentary work to this absorbing drama about a teenager (Jérémie Renier) gradually coming to understand the implications of his father’s making a living through the exploitation of undocumented workers. Filmed in the Dardennes’ industrial hometown of Seraing, Belgium, LA PROMESSE is a brilliantly economical and observant tale of a boy’s troubled moral awakening.
	Promised Lands Directed by Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa 2018 Uganda Duration: 20:19	PROMISED LANDS is a fragmentary, essayistic meditation on (among other things) art, fact, fiction, memory, rights to land, place, and displacement that marks the culmination of a substantial body of work by the late artist Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa collectively entitled “Uganda in Black and White.” Making reference to the thousands of European refugees who found sanctuary in Africa during World War II and to the violent ongoing realities of internal and external displacement, it reflects on the relationships between representation, power, projection, and possession.
	Promises: Through Congress Directed by Trevor Tweeten 2021 United States Duration: 48:47	Sound and image meet in a mesmerizing, multisensory experience in this journey through Ethiopian American artist Julie Mehretu’s expansive painting “Congress,” which sets the artwork to the acclaimed album “Promises,” a collaboration between electronic composer Sam Shepherd (a.k.a. Floating Points) and jazz great Pharoah Sanders featuring the London Symphony Orchestra.
	À propos de Nice Directed by Jean Vigo and Boris Kaufman 1930 France Duration: 23:42	Jean Vigo was twenty-five when he made this, his debut film, a silent cinematic poem that reveals, through a thrilling and ironic use of montage, the economic reality hidden behind the facade of the Mediterranean resort town of Nice. The first of Vigo’s several collaborations with cinematographer Boris Kaufman (Dziga Vertov’s brother and a future Oscar winner), À PROPOS DE NICE is both a scathing and invigorating look at 1930 French culture.

	The Pub Directed by Joseph Pierce 2012 United Kingdom Duration: 08:14	The shape-shifting, black-and-white animation of director Joseph Pierce turns a snapshot of a seemingly ordinary day at a North London pub into an unsettlingly surreal vision of life on the bottom rung of society.

	Quadrophenia Directed by Franc Roddam Starring Phil Daniels, Leslie Ash, Sting 1979 United Kingdom Duration: 2:00:11	The Who’s classic rock opera “Quadrophenia” was the basis for this invigorating coming-of-age movie and depiction of the defiant, drug-fueled mod subculture of early-1960s London.

	Querelle Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder Starring Brad Davis, Franco Nero, Jeanne Moreau 1982 Germany Duration: 1:48:47	Conjured from the unholy meeting of two iconoclastic queer artists, Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s final film audaciously raises Jean Genet’s controversial novel to the level of myth. In an expressionistic soundstage vision of a French seaport town—bathed in fiery hues and complete with phallic spires—a strapping sailor and unrepentant criminal (Brad Davis) comes ashore to arouse passion, rivalry, and violence among the libidinal denizens drawn into his orbit. Enacted with dreamlike stylization by a cast of international stars, including Jeanne Moreau and Franco Nero, QUERELLE finds Fassbinder pushing his taboo-shattering depiction of gay desire to delirious extremes.

She searches out and seduces victims to satisfy her incurable craving, infecting them with an unknown disease that swiftly drives them insane . . . and makes them equally bloodthirsty. In its shocking fusion of sexuality and violence, RABID stands as one of the most audacious horror films of the 1970s.
	Rabindranath Tagore Directed by Satyajit Ray 1961 India Duration: 54:00	Renowned Bengali poet, writer, composer, philosopher, activist, and painter Rabindranath Tagore was one of the most transformative cultural figures in Indian history: a polymath who became the first non-European to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature and a committed humanist whose anti-imperialist principles made him a leading critic of the British Raj. Made to celebrate the centenary of Tagore’s birth, Satyajit Ray’s lyrical documentary combines archival material with dramatized scenes (some of which Ray called “among the most moving and powerful things that I have produced”) to introduce viewers to the life and work of a once-in-a-generation genius. The film is presented in standard definition in the best available master.

	Raising Arizona Directed by Joel Coen Starring Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter, John Goodman 1987 United States Duration: 1:34:10	The delightfully sophomoric sophomore feature from the Coen brothers stars Nicolas Cage as a dim-bulb bandit whose solution to the infertility of his ex-cop wife (Holly Hunter) is to babynap one fourth of a gaggle of famous quadruplets—sending the new “family” on the run through a relentlessly oddball, cartoon-crazy vision of the Southwest that’s part Preston Sturges, part Looney Tunes. Grounding its screwball antics in a surprisingly moving tale of family love and redemption, RAISING ARIZONA was met with polarizing reactions upon its release, but has since been recognized as one of the funniest and most inventive comedies of the 1980s.

Marvel at the resilience of these rodents, while hearty New Yorkers share tales of battle and, in some cases, defeat. The cameras go on patrol with the city’s famed exterminators, then behind walls, through pipes, and deep into the New York underground to reveal the hidden world of these most cunning of creatures.
	Ratcatcher Directed by Lynne Ramsay Starring Tommy Flanagan, Mandy Matthews, William Eadie 1999 United Kingdom Duration: 1:33:54	In her breathtaking and assured debut feature, Lynne Ramsay creates a haunting evocation of a troubled Glasgow childhood. Set during Scotland’s national garbage strike of the mid-1970s, RATCATCHER explores the experiences of a poor adolescent boy as he struggles to reconcile his dreams and his guilt with the abjection that surrounds him.

	Raven’s End Directed by Bo Widerberg Starring Tommy Berggren, Keve Hjelm, Emy Storm 1963 Sweden Duration: 1:41:04	A period piece that forgoes nostalgia in favor of a stark examination of working-class struggle, Bo Widerberg’s second feature unfolds in 1936 in the director’s hometown of Malmö. It’s there, in the poor district of Raven’s End, that young Anders (Widerberg’s regular collaborator Tommy Berggren) chases his dream of becoming a writer while growing increasingly disillusioned with the dead-end world that surrounds him: an alcoholic father, a toiling mother, and the ominous specter of Nazism.

She is Carla, a hearing-impaired office worker treated with disdain by her colleagues. He’s Paul, a scruffy ex-con whom she hires as her assistant. When he ropes her into a robbery scheme, her ability to read lips proves useful as they navigate their growing attraction through a series of thrillingly unpredictable twists.
	Reality Bites Directed by Ben Stiller Starring Winona Ryder, Ben Stiller, Ethan Hawke 1994 United States Duration: 1:38:21	Arguably the definitive Gen X cinematic statement, this zeitgeist-defining comedic drama captures the anxiousness and uncertainty of postcollege life in the 1990s with sharp wit and generational insight. Winona Ryder leads a who’s who ensemble cast of rising stars as Lelaina, a recent college grad living in Houston, Texas, who, armed with a camcorder, sets out to make a movie about the aimless lives of her friends, including a slacker musician (Ethan Hawke), a Gap store manager (Janeane Garofalo) awaiting the results of an AIDS test, and a young gay man (Steve Zahn) struggling to come out to his parents.
	A Real Young Girl Directed by Catherine Breillat Starring Charlotte Alexandra, Hiram Keller, Rita Maiden 1976 France Duration: 1:33:57	Filmed in 1976 but not released until 2000, A REAL YOUNG GIRL is Catherine Breillat’s taboo-busting directorial debut and one of the boldest explorations of female sexuality ever committed to celluloid. In adapting her own novel, Breillat unflinchingly depicts the dark desires of Alice (Charlotte Alexandra), a rural adolescent whose uninhibited sexual experimentation troubles her parents (Rita Maiden and Bruno Balp) and augurs doom for her first lover (Hiram Keller). Originally withheld from theaters due to censorship concerns, GIRL proved itself to be not only ahead of its time but also an audacious trial run for Breillat’s core strategies and themes, including the connection between transgressive fantasy and sober reality.
	Reckless Eyeballing Directed by Christopher Harris 2004 United States Duration: 13:42	Taking its name from the Jim Crow–era prohibition against Black men looking at white women, this hand-processed, optically printed amalgam is a hypnotic inspection of sexual desire, racial identity, and film history.

Here, a hard-hearted middle-aged widow (Choko Iida) reluctantly takes in a child (Hohi Aoki) abandoned by his father. Bitter at first, she soon finds herself growing fond of the boy.

	The Red Balloon Directed by Albert Lamorisse Starring Pascal Lamorisse 1956 France Duration: 34:27	Rarely has the spirit of childhood been evoked as exquisitely as in this Academy Award–winning cinematic fable, a fantasy with the texture of reality. On the streets of 1950s Paris, a young boy (played by director Albert Lamorisse’s son, Pascal) is launched on a miraculous adventure when he’s playfully pursued by a shiny red balloon that seems to have a mind of its own—until the harsh realities of the world interfere, setting the stage for a deeply moving finale.

Toshiro Mifune, in his last role for Kurosawa, gives a powerhouse performance as the dignified yet empathic director who guides his pupil to maturity, teaching the embittered intern to appreciate the lives of his destitute patients. Perfectly capturing the look and feel of 19th-century Japan, Kurosawa weaves a fascinating tapestry of time, place, and emotion.
	Red Desert Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni Starring Monica Vitti, Richard Harris 1964 France Duration: 1:57:03	Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1960s panoramas of contemporary alienation were decade-defining artistic events, and RED DESERT, his first color film, is perhaps his most epochal. This provocative look at the spiritual desolation of the technological age—about a disaffected woman, brilliantly portrayed by Antonioni muse Monica Vitti, wandering through a bleak industrial landscape beset by power plants and environmental toxins, and tentatively flirting with her husband’s coworker, played by Richard Harris—continues to keep viewers spellbound. With one startling, painterly composition after another—of abandoned fishing cottages, electrical towers, looming docked ships—RED DESERT creates a nearly apocalyptic image of its time, and confirms Antonioni as cinema’s preeminent poet of the modern age.
	Redes Directed by Emilio Gómez Muriel… Starring Silvio Hernández del Valle, Antonio Lara, Miguel Figueroa 1936 Mexico Duration: 1:00:44	Directed by Emilio Gómez Muriel and Fred Zinnemann • 1936 • Mexico Starring Silvio Hernández del Valle, Antonio Lara, Miguel Figueroa Early in his career, the Austrian-born future Oscar winner Fred Zinnemann codirected with Emilio Gómez Muriel the politically and emotionally searing REDES. In this vivid, documentary-like dramatization of the daily grind of men struggling to make a living by fishing on the Gulf of Mexico (mostly played by real-life fishermen), one worker’s terrible loss instigates a political awakening among him and his fellow laborers. A singular coming together of talents, REDES, commissioned by a progressive Mexican government, was cowritten and gorgeously shot by the legendary photographer Paul Strand.

	Red-Headed Woman Directed by Jack Conway Starring Jean Harlow, Chester Morris, Lewis Stone 1932 United States Duration: 1:19:32	The legendary Jean Harlow delivers a star-making performance in this racy pre-Code boundary pusher. She stars as Lil Andrews, a gold-digging secretary who will do whatever it takes to get ahead in society—including luring her morally minded boss (Chester Morris) away from his happy marriage. Snappily scripted by Anita Loos (who was called in to rewrite the original screenplay by F. Scott Fitzgerald), this salacious tale of sex and sin is often cited as one of the films that led to Hollywood’s subsequent enforcement of the Production Code.
	The Red Shoes Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger Starring Moira Shearer, Anton Walbrook, Marius Goring 1948 United Kingdom Duration: 2:14:40	Starring Moira Shearer, Anton Walbrook, Marius Goring THE RED SHOES, the singular fantasia from Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, is cinema’s quintessential backstage drama, as well as one of the most glorious Technicolor feasts ever concocted for the screen. Moira Shearer is a rising star ballerina torn between an idealistic composer and a ruthless impresario intent on perfection. Featuring outstanding performances, blazingly beautiful cinematography by Jack Cardiff, Oscar-winning sets and music, and an unforgettable, hallucinatory central dance sequence, this beloved classic, now dazzlingly restored, stands as an enthralling tribute to the life of the artist.

	Regrouping Directed by Lizzie Borden Starring Kathryn Bigelow, Ariel Bock, Marion Cajori 1976 United States Duration: 1:15:15	While Lizzie Borden’s features BORN IN FAMES and WORKING GIRLS have taken their place as landmarks of feminist cinema, her debut—the fascinating experimental documentary REGROUPING—has gone largely unseen. A multilayered, self-reflexive portrait of a 1970s New York City feminist collective, the film charts the rifts that form within the group and between its members and the filmmaker—a breakdown that is reflected in the film’s radical splintering of sound and image. Shelved for decades due to the objections of its subjects, REGROUPING—exhibited now with the permission of its participants—reemerges as an essential chronicle of the second-wave women’s movement and of the meaning, possibilities, and pitfalls of collective action. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives with restoration funding from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and The Film Foundation.
	Rembrandt Directed by Alexander Korda 1936 United Kingdom Duration: 1:24:43	Charles Laughton once again teams up with Korda for this moving, elegantly shot biopic about the Dutch painter.

Though black and white, Rembrandt is shot by cinematographer Georges Périnal (Le million, The Fallen Idol) with an attention to light that's particularly Rembrandtesque.

	Remorques Directed by Jean Grémillon 1941 France Duration: 1:24:27	Jacques Prévert co-wrote this atmospheric tale of the romantic trials of a tugboat captain, played by the iconic French star Jean Gabin.

When André meets temptation in the form of the alluring Catherine during a risky rescue, he comes perilously close to betraying his wife of ten years.

	Les rendez-vous d’Anna Directed by Chantal Akerman Starring Aurore Clément, Helmut Griem, Magali Noël 1978 Belgium Duration: 2:08:18	Chantal Akerman’s narrative follow-up to her international breakthrough, JEANNE DIELMAN, is a penetrating portrait of a woman’s soul-deep malaise and a mesmerizing odyssey through a haunted Europe. While on a tour through Germany, Belgium, and France to promote her latest movie, Anna (Aurore Clément), an accomplished filmmaker, passes through a series of eerie, exquisitely shot brief encounters—with men and women, family and strangers—that gradually reveal her emotional and physical detachment from the world. Mirroring the itinerant Akerman’s own restless wanderings, this quasi self-portrait journeys through a succession of liminal spaces—hotel rooms, railway stations, train cars—toward an indelible encounter with the specter of history.
	Repast Directed by Mikio Naruse Starring Setsuko Hara, Ken Uehara, Yukiko Shimazaki 1951 Japan Duration: 1:37:04	A watershed work in the career of master director Mikio Naruse, REPAST marked the beginning of his extraordinary late-career renaissance.

Ignoring the storyline established across the Showa-era films except for the first one, THE RETURN OF GODZILLA reestablished the iconic kaiju as a force of fierce destruction, while updating the film’s sociopolitical commentary for the late Cold War era. Here, the radioactive reptile returns to wreak destruction on Japan and along the way inflames tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, threatening to bring the world to the brink of nuclear war.

Scripted and scored by the influential poet Salah Jahin, RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL SON uses the framework of the biblical tale to comment provocatively on the fading of Arab unity and the shattered dreams of a grandstanding Arab republic, while simultaneously subverting and reinventing the Arab musical.
	Return of the Prodigal Son Directed by Evald Schorm 1967 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:38:59	Evald Schorm was one of the most politically outspoken of the Czech New Wave filmmakers.

Their desperate plans for escape unexpectedly intersect with the lives of a rural cop and his seemingly content wife. With meticulous, elegant direction, Spielmann creates a tense, existential, and surprising portrait of vengeance and redemption, and a journey into the darkest forest of human nature, in which violence and beauty exist side by side.
	Revenge Directed by Ermek Shinarbaev Starring Aleksandr Pan, Valentina Tyo, Kasym Zhakibayev 1989 Kazakhstan Duration: 1:39:58	Directed by Ermek Shinarbaev • 1989 • Kazakhstan Starring Aleksandr Pan, Valentina Tyo, Kasym Zhakibayev A child is raised in Korea to avenge the death of his father’s first child in this decades-spanning tale of obsession and violence, the third collaboration between director Ermek Shinarbaev and writer Anatoli Kim. A study of everyday evil infused with philosophy and poetry, this haunting allegory was the first Soviet film to look at the Korean diaspora in central Asia, and a founding work of the Kazakh New Wave. Rigorous and complex, REVENGE weaves luminous imagery with inventive narrative elements in an unforgettable meditation on the way trauma is passed down through generations. Restored in 2010 by the Cineteca di Bologna/L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory, in association with The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project, the Kazakhfilm Studio, the State Archive of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and Ermek Shinarbaev.

	Richard III Directed by Laurence Olivier Starring Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, Claire Bloom 1955 United Kingdom Duration: 2:38:47	Starring Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, Claire Bloom In RICHARD III, director, producer, and star Laurence Olivier brings Shakespeare’s masterpiece of Machiavellian villainy to ravishing cinematic life. Olivier is diabolically captivating as Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who, through a series of murderous machinations, steals the crown from his brother Edward. And he surrounds himself with a royal supporting cast, which includes Ralph Richardson, John Gielgud, and Claire Bloom. Filmed in VistaVision and Technicolor, RICHARD III is one of the most visually inspired of all big-screen Bard adaptations. Restoration funding provided by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and The Film Foundation. Restored by The Film Foundation and Janus Films, in association with the BFI National Archive, ITV Studios Global Entertainment Ltd., the Museum of Modern Art, and Romulus Films.
	La ricotta Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini Starring Orson Welles 1963 Italy Duration: 35:44	Pier Paolo Pasolini’s contribution to the omnibus film RO.GO.PA.G casts Orson Welles as a director attempting to make a film of the crucifixion of Jesus—all while he, the cast, and crew behave in the most un-Christlike ways imaginable. Making explicit Pasolini’s themes of persecution and sacrifice while introducing an overtly political message, LA RICOTTA also reflects a shift from neorealism toward a more symbolic and visionary style in his filmmaking. It got him sentenced to several months in prison for contempt of religion, although the charge was reversed.
	Ride in the Whirlwind Directed by Monte Hellman Starring Jack Nicholson, Cameron Mitchell, Harry Dean Stanton 1966 United States Duration: 1:22:26	Working from a thoughtful script by Jack Nicholson, Monte Hellman fashioned this moody and tense western about a trio of cowhands who are mistaken for robbers and must outrun and hide from a posse of bloodthirsty vigilantes in the wilds of Utah. A grim yet gripping tale of chance and blind frontier justice, RIDE IN THE WHIRLWIND is brought to life by a compelling cast, including Nicholson, Cameron Mitchell, Millie Perkins, and Harry Dean Stanton.
	Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky Directed by Lam Nai-choi Starring Fan Siu-Wong, Gloria Yip, Yukari Oshima 1991 Hong Kong Duration: 1:32:43	The ultimate Hong Kong black-comic gorefest, this live-action adaptation of the cult manga is a blood feast of entrail-wreathed splatter and literally eye-popping ultraviolence. After he’s sentenced to a corrupt private prison for taking revenge on the shadowy gangsters who killed his girlfriend, the seemingly indestructible Ricky Ho (Fan Siu-wong) must fight his way out past a litany of enemies and unsavory figures using his superhuman ability to punch through any object (including the human body). Channeling the kinetic, hyperstylized spirit of the manga source material, writer-director Lam Nai-choi delivers a blast of pure cinema so outrageously over the top it’s nearly avant-garde.
	Ring Directed by Hideo Nakata Starring Nanako Matsushima, Hiroyuki Sanada, Miki Nakatani 1998 Japan	The film that launched the craze for J-horror in the West, director Hideo Nakata’s international sensation melded traditional Japanese folklore with contemporary anxieties about the spread of technology for a chilling experience unlike anything that had come before. A group of teenage friends are found dead, their bodies grotesquely contorted, their faces twisted in terror. Reiko (Nanako Matsushima), a journalist and the aunt of one of the victims, sets out to investigate the shocking phenomenon, and in the process uncovers a creepy urban legend about a supposedly cursed videotape, the contents of which cause anyone who views it to die within a week—unless they can persuade someone else to watch it, and, in so doing, pass on the curse.
	The Rink Directed by Charles Chaplin 1916 United States Duration: 24:18	In this two-reel delight, Charlie Chaplin’s havoc-wreaking Little Tramp serves up mayhem while working as a waiter in a posh restaurant (witness his unique, full-body cocktail-mixing skills). However, it’s not until he straps on a pair of skates and hits the roller rink that he truly shines in a sublime display of his balletically graceful slapstick style.
	The Rise of Catherine the Great Directed by Paul Czinner 1934 United Kingdom Duration: 1:33:37	A quick-witted and compelling dramatization of the troubled marriage of Catherine II (played by German actress Elisabeth Bergner, in her English-language debut) to Peter III (a randy Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) and her subsequent ascension to the throne as Empress of Russia. With its luxurious renderings of the eighteenth-century St. Petersburg royal court and its nearly screwball evocation of Catherine and Peter's teasing relationship, THE RISE OF CATHERINE THE GREAT was a wise and worthy follow-up to HENRY VIII.
	Rita, Sue and Bob Too Directed by Alan Clarke Starring Michelle Holmes, Siobhan Finneran, George Costigan 1987 United Kingdom Duration: 1:33:41	Andrea Dunbar adapted her own slice-of-life stage play for this rare foray into comedy from social-realist director Alan Clarke. Life in their drab Yorkshire city holds no surprises for working-class teenagers Rita (Siobhan Finneran) and Sue (Michelle Holmes). They regularly babysit for Bob (George Costigan) and Michelle (Lesley Sharp), a couple whose posh lifestyle offers a striking contrast to their own. Impressed by Bob’s flashy car and worldly ways, the girls are smooth-talked into a ménage à trois that reveals simultaneously amusing and cutting insights into sex, class, and the social fabric of Thatcher’s Britain.
	The Rite Directed by Ingmar Bergman 1969 Sweden Duration: 1:16:04	A judge interviews a group of actors who are under investigation for decency violations. Directed by Ingmar Bergman.
	The River Directed by Jean Renoir Starring Nora Swinburne, Esmond Knight, Arthur Shields 1951 France Duration: 1:39:23	Starring Nora Swinburne, Esmond Knight, Arthur Shields Director Jean Renoir’s entrancing first color feature, shot entirely on location in India, is a visual tour de force. Based on the novel by Rumer Godden, the film eloquently contrasts the growing pains of three young women with the immutability of the Bengal river around which their daily lives unfold. Enriched by Renoir’s subtle understanding and appreciation for India and its people, THE RIVER gracefully explores the fragile connections between transitory emotions and everlasting creation. Restored by the Academy Film Archive in association with the BFI and Janus Films, with restoration funding provided by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and The Film Foundation.
	A River Called Titas Directed by Ritwik Ghatak Starring Kabari Choudhury, Roushan Jamil, Prabir Mitra 1973 Bangladesh Duration: 2:38:28	Directed by Ritwik Ghatak • 1973 • Bangladesh Starring Kabari Choudhury, Roushan Jamil, Prabir Mitra The Bengali filmmaker Ritwik Ghatak’s stunningly beautiful, elegiac saga concerns the tumultuous lives of people in fishing villages along the banks of the Titas River in pre-Partition East Bengal. Focusing on the tragic intertwining fates of a series of fascinating characters—in particular, the indomitable widow Basanti—Ghatak tells the poignant story of an entire community’s vanishing way of life. Made soon after Bangladesh became an independent nation, the elliptical, painterly A RIVER CALLED TITAS is a grand epic from a director who has had a devoted following for decades. Restored in 2010 by the Cineteca di Bologna /L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory, in association with the Ritwik Memorial Trust, the National Film Archive of India, and The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project.

	Robert Frost: A Lover’s Quarrel with the World Directed by Shirley Clarke Starring Robert Frost 1963 United States Duration: 52:15	Shirley Clarke’s Academy Award–winning documentary profiles the renowned poet Robert Frost as he reflects on his life, career, and philosophy of the world. Interspersing intimate moments with Frost at his Vermont home with footage of him delivering lectures at Amherst and Sarah Lawrence Colleges, this contemplative portrait eloquently captures the humor, humanity, and complexity of a remarkable artist and thinker.
	Robinson Crusoe Directed by Luis Buñuel Starring Dan O’Herlihy 1954 United States Duration: 1:29:11	Starring Dan O’Herlihy Master director Luis Buñuel’s first color film (and first of only two he made in English) is a fascinating, unjustly neglected adaptation of Daniel Defoe’s classic survival novel. His take on the story—in which the eponymous shipwreck survivor (an Oscar-nominated Dan O’Herlihy) faces both physical and psychological peril while stranded for decades on a desert island—succeeds equally as a gripping adventure saga and as a subtly subversive, typically Buñuelian deconstruction of traditional notions of civilization, religion, and man’s place in the universe.
	Robinson’s Garden Directed by Masashi Yamamoto Starring Kumiko Ota, Kou Machida, Tuko Ueno 1987 Japan Duration: 2:00:17	On a drunken walk home, bohemian drug dealer Kumi (Kumiko Ohta) discovers an abandoned building on the outskirts of Tokyo. Attracted by the vast, untapped space overrun with luxuriant vegetation (and its potential for drug-addled isolation), she promptly sells all of her belongings and retreats from the world. She carves an island for herself out of the sprawling squat, where she is free to grow cabbage and express herself in any way she pleases—only interrupted by the occasional intrusion from her lover, left behind in civilization, and a mysteriously antagonistic pig-tailed girl who seems to live in the landscape. Lensed by frequent Jim Jarmusch collaborator Tom DiCillo, Masashi Yamamoto’s anticapitalist punk statement is a radical vision of a multicultural, marginal Tokyo, far removed from the dominant, consumerist image of the city during the bustling era of Japan’s economic bubble.
	Rocco and His Brothers Directed by Luchino Visconti Starring Alain Delon, Annie Girardot, Renato Salvatori 1960 France Duration: 2:58:50	Looking for opportunity, five brothers move north with their mother to Milan. There, Simone and Rocco find fame, in the boxing ring, and love, in the same woman. Jealousy mounts, blood is shed, and a striving family faces self-destruction in this incisive, sensuous, emotionally bruising masterwork from director Luchino Visconti. With an operatic Nino Rota score and Giuseppe Rotunno’s glimmering, on-location cinematography, ROCCO AND HIS BROTHERS “represents the artistic apotheosis of Italian neorealism,” says A.O. Scott of the “New York Times.” Drawing from Dostoevsky and Thomas Mann, Visconti arranges his signature themes—modernity, class tension, familial discord—across an epic canvas that directly influenced later Italian-American sagas by Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese.
	Rockabye Directed by George Cukor Starring Constance Bennett, Joel McCrea, Paul Lukas 1932 United States Duration: 1:07:47	Fresh from her success in WHAT PRICE HOLLYWOOD? (also directed by George Cukor), Constance Bennett, one of the most popular Hollywood stars of the 1930s, suffered nobly for this moving maternal melodrama, the result of a notoriously troubled production that nevertheless contains plenty of pre-Code pleasures. She stars as Broadway diva Judy Carroll, who loses custody of an orphaned baby after testifying in a notorious embezzlement case. To cope with her loss, she coproduces a play that mirrors her own life experiences, along the way pursuing a seemingly impossible affair with a married playwright (Joel McCrea).
	The Rocket from Calabuch Directed by Luis García Berlanga Starring Edmund Gwenn, Valentina Cortese, Juan Calvo 1956 Italy Duration: 1:41:36	In one of Luis García Berlanga’s gentlest comedies, an aging American scientist (Oscar winner Edmund Gwenn) goes incognito, trading in his career as a prominent atomic-bomb expert for a tranquil retirement on the Mediterranean coast. While in hiding, he cultivates the persona of a friendly wanderer, finding companions among his neighbors and using his pyrotechnical expertise to create a dazzling fireworks display for the local fiesta. Where Berlanga’s most acclaimed films skewer the blinkered provincialism of village life, this heartfelt valentine to small-town Spain celebrates the friendships that hold such tight-knit communities together.
	The Rocking Horse Winner Directed by Anthony Pelissier 1949 United Kingdom Duration: 1:31:50	A young boy discovers that riding his new rocking horse enables his ability to pick the winners at the racetrack. His parents, who are deeply in debt, begin to rely on this newfound skill.

	Romance & Cigarettes Directed by John Turturro Starring John Turturro, James Gandolfini, Kate Winslet 2005 United States Duration: 1:46:24	Produced by the Coen brothers, John Turturro’s third directorial effort is an audacious, truly one-of-a-kind musical bursting with heart and imagination. In working-class Queens, one family’s lives erupt in chaos when construction worker Nick Murder (James Gandolfini) is forced to choose between his wife (Susan Sarandon) and his sultry mistress (Kate Winslet). Set to classic tracks by Bruce Springsteen, James Brown, Dusty Springfield, and others and featuring a colorful supporting cast that includes Steve Buscemi, Christopher Walken, and Mary-Louise Parker, ROMANCE & CIGARETTES is an irresistibly offbeat, bawdily comic labor of love by all involved.
	Rome Open City Directed by Roberto Rossellini Starring Aldo Fabrizi, Anna Magnani, Marcello Pagliero 1945 Italy Duration: 1:43:23	This was Roberto Rossellini’s revelation, a harrowing drama about the Nazi occupation of Rome and the brave few who struggled against it. Though told with more melodramatic flair than the films that would follow it to form The War Trilogy and starring some well-known actors—Aldo Fabrizi as a priest helping the partisan cause and Anna Magnani in her breakthrough role as the fiancée of a resistance member—ROME OPEN CITY is a shockingly authentic experience, conceived and directed amid the ruin of World War II, with immediacy in every frame. Marking a watershed moment in Italian cinema, this galvanic work garnered awards around the globe and left the beginnings of a new film movement in its wake.
	La ronde Directed by Max Ophuls Starring Simone Signoret, Anton Walbrook, Simone Simon 1950 France Duration: 1:32:59	Simone Signoret, Anton Walbrook, and Simone Simon lead a roundelay of French stars in Max Ophuls’s delightful, acerbic adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler’s controversial turn-of-the-century play “Reigen.” Soldiers, chambermaids, poets, prostitutes, aristocrats—all are on equal footing in this multicharacter merry-go-round of love and infidelity, directed with a sweeping gaiety as knowingly frivolous as it is enchanting, and shot with Ophuls’s trademark mellifluous cinematography.
	La ronde Directed by Roger Vadim Starring Jane Fonda, Anna Karina, Jean-Claude Brialy 1964 Italy Duration: 1:51:14	Having previously been filmed under the same title by Max Ophuls, Arthur Schnitzler’s once-controversial play “Reigen” got an appropriately scintillating update courtesy of swinging-sixties eroticist Roger Vadim (BARBARELLA). Jane Fonda, Anna Karina, and Jean-Claude Brialy are among the bed-hopping coterie of soldiers, prostitutes, maids, actors, and aristocrats who swap lovers amid the opulence of pre–World War I Europe, captured in sumptuous color by celebrated New Wave cinematographer Henri Decaë.
	Ronin Gai Directed by Kazuo Kuroki 1990 Japan Duration: 1:57:19	A group of masterless samurai living in Edo's red light district must fend off a militia bent on wiping out local prostitutes. Directed by Kazuo Kuroki.
	A Room with a View Directed by James Ivory Starring Maggie Smith, Helena Bonham Carter, Daniel Day-Lewis 1986 United Kingdom Duration: 1:57:09	Merchant Ivory Productions, led by director James Ivory and producer Ismail Merchant, became a household name with A ROOM WITH A VIEW, the first of their extraordinary adaptations of E. M. Forster novels. A cherubic nineteen-year-old Helena Bonham Carter plays Lucy Honeychurch, a young, independent-minded, upper-class Edwardian woman who is trying to sort out her burgeoning romantic feelings, divided between an enigmatic free spirit (Julian Sands) she meets on vacation in Florence and the priggish bookworm (Daniel Day-Lewis) to whom she becomes engaged back in the more corseted Surrey. Funny, sexy, and sophisticated, this gargantuan art-house hit features a sublime supporting cast—including Simon Callow, Judi Dench, Denholm Elliott, and Maggie Smith—and remains a touchstone of intelligent romantic cinema.
	Rosa Luxemburg Directed by Margarethe von Trotta Starring Barbara Sukowa, Daniel Olbrychski, Otto Sander 1986 West Germany Duration: 2:02:33	ROSA LUXEMBURG is Margarethe von Trotta’s remarkable look at one of the most fascinating figures in modern European political history. Having fought for women’s rights in early-twentieth-century Poland and Germany, the Marxist revolutionary Luxemburg formed the famous Spartacist League, later the Communist Party of Germany, before being assassinated at age forty-seven. Built around an extraordinary performance from Barbara Sukowa (winner of the best actress award at Cannes), this multilayered portrait traces Luxemburg’s political and moral development from journalist and author to dissenter from the party line and imprisoned pacifist, bringing her character alive on-screen with depth and complexity.
	The Rose of Manila Directed by Alex Westfall Starring Polly Cabrera, Carlon Josol, Andie Ong 2020 Philippines Duration: 11:48	As one half of the dictatorial regime that ruled the Philippines, Imelda Marcos would become infamous for embezzling billions from the country to sustain her extravagant lifestyle. In this imagining of her formative years, the fate of a young girl and an entire nation become entangled as the absent mother of a country is born.
	The Rose on His Arm Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita 1956 Japan Duration: 1:25:44	Ignoring the protests of his working-class mother, a young man becomes wrapped up in the world of delinquents and yakuza. Keisuke Kinoshita directs.
	Rosetta Directed by Luc Dardenne and Jean-Pierre Dardenne Starring Émilie Dequenne, Fabrizio Rongione, Anne Yernaux 1999 Belgium Duration: 1:34:15	The Belgian filmmaking team of brothers Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne turned heads with ROSETTA, an intense vérité drama that closely follows a poor young woman struggling to hold on to a job to support herself and her alcoholic mother. It’s a swift and simple tale made revelatory by the raw, empathetic way in which the directors render Rosetta’s desperation, keeping the camera nearly perched on her shoulder throughout. Many have copied the Dardennes’ style, but few have equaled it. This ferocious film won big at Cannes, earning the Palme d’Or for the filmmakers and the best actress prize for the indomitable Émilie Dequenne.
	Rouge Directed by Stanley Kwan Starring Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Alex Man Chi-leung 1987 Hong Kong Duration: 1:38:00	Cantopop superstars Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung display the androgynous magnetism that made them icons as doomed lovers in this emblematic film of Hong Kong’s Second New Wave, directed by pioneering queer melodrama master Stanley Kwan. ROUGE bridges past and present in its tragic romance between a humble courtesan and the wayward scion of a wealthy family, who embrace death by suicide pact amid the opulent teahouses of 1930s Hong Kong. Fifty years later, she returns to the city-state to find him, drawing a young contemporary couple (Alex Man and Emily Chu) into her quest to rekindle a passion that may be as illusory as time itself. With its lush mise-en-scène and transcendently melancholy mood, this sensuous ghost story is an exquisite, enduringly resonant elegy for both lost love and vanishing history.
	Routine Pleasures Directed by Jean-Pierre Gorin 1986 United States Duration: 1:19:54	What do a club devoted to model trains and the legendary film critic and painter Manny Farber have in common? These two lines intersect in Jean-Pierre Gorin's lovely and distinctly American film, which takes as its subject the desire to re-create the past (the locomotive aficionados' elaborate worlds in miniature, Farber's teeming canvases) and expands to something richly philosophical and surprisingly funny. ROUTINE PLEASURES is a masterful meditation on America's landscapes, real and imagined.
	Royal Warriors Directed by David Chung Starring Michelle Yeoh, Michael Wong, Hiroyuki Sanada 1986 Hong Kong Duration: 1:36:38	Michelle Yeoh’s follow-up to her breakout hit YES, MADAM cemented her standing as Hong Kong cinema’s top female action superstar.

When two of the hijackers are killed, their remaining comrade vows revenge. Now, Yip finds herself in a race against time to track down the ruthless mercenary before he has a chance to pick them all off one by one.

	The Rules of the Game Directed by Jean Renoir Starring Nora Gregor, Paulette Dubost, Mila Parély 1939 France Duration: 1:47:59	Considered one of the greatest films ever made, THE RULES OF THE GAME (LA RÈGLE DU JEU), by Jean Renoir, is a scathing critique of corrupt French society cloaked in a comedy of manners in which a weekend at a marquis’ country château lays bare some ugly truths about a group of haut bourgeois acquaintances. The film has had a tumultuous history: it was subjected to cuts after the violent response of the premiere audience in 1939, and the original negative was destroyed during World War II; it wasn’t reconstructed until 1959. That version, which has stunned viewers for decades, is presented here.
	The Ruling Class Directed by Peter Medak Starring Peter O'Toole, Alastair Sim, Arthur Lowe 1972 United Kingdom Duration: 2:33:42	Directed by Peter Medak • 1972 • United Kingdom Starring Peter O'Toole, Alastair Sim, Arthur Lowe Peter O’Toole gives a tour-de-force performance as Jack, a man “cured” of believing he’s God—only to become Jack the Ripper incarnate. Based on Peter Barnes's irreverent play, this darkly comic indictment of Britain’s class system peers behind the closed doors of English aristocracy. Insanity, sadistic sarcasm, and black comedy—with just a touch of the Hollywood musical—are all featured in this beloved cult classic directed by Peter Medak.
	Running Fence Directed by Albert Maysles, David Maysles, and Charlotte Zwerin 1977 United States Duration: 57:19	RUNNING FENCE depicts the long struggle by the artists, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, to build a 24 mile fence of white fabric over the hills of California disappearing into the Pacific. Cost: 3 million dollars. The idea at first must seem the limit of absurdity for the fence was taken down as planned at the end of two weeks and now exists solely on film. There is a struggle between the artists and the state bureaucracy, who want to prevent the fence being erected, even though the ranchers whose land it crosses want it. Opposition seems insurmountable.
	A Running Jump Directed by Mike Leigh Starring Eddie Marsan, Samantha Spiro, Sam Kelly 2012 United Kingdom Duration: 35:40	Mike Leigh offers a humorous look at the sport of everyday life in this slice-of-life portrait of a harried London car salesman and his family.

	Rusty Knife Directed by Toshio Masuda 1958 Japan Duration: 1:30:28	Rusty Knife was the first smash for director Toshio Masuda, who would go on to become one of Japanese cinema's major hit makers.

	Ryuichi Sakamoto \| Opus Directed by Neo Sora Starring Ryuichi Sakamoto 2023 Japan Duration: 1:43:25	A celebration of an artist’s life in the purest sense, RYUICHI SAKAMOTO \| OPUS is the swan song of one of the world’s greatest musicians. As a parting gift, in late 2022, Ryuichi Sakamoto mustered all of his energy to leave us with one final performance: a concert film featuring just him and his piano. Curated and sequenced by Sakamoto himself, the twenty pieces of his played in the film wordlessly tell the story of his life and his wide-ranging oeuvre. The selection spans his entire career, from his pop-star period with Yellow Magic Orchestra and his magnificent scores for filmmakers Bernardo Bertolucci and Nagisa Oshima to his meditative final album, “12.” Intimately filmed in black and white, and surrounded by trusted collaborators—including director Neo Sora, his son—Sakamoto bares his soul through his exquisitely haunting melodies, knowing this was the last time he would be able to present his art. “A gift from a master . . . An intensely moving experience.” —Alissa Wilkinson, “The New York Times” (Critic’s Pick) “To call RYUICHI SAKAMOTO \| OPUS a concert film would be correct and also drastically inadequate . . . A testament to the artistic spirit and, above all, an act of love.” —Sheri Linden, “The Hollywood Reporter” “A spare, lovely work . . . The culmination of a lifelong journey.” —Bilge Ebiri, “New York Magazine”
	Sabotage Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Starring Sylvia Sidney, Oskar Homolka, John Loder 1936 United States Duration: 1:17:07	This loose adaptation of Joseph Conrad’s novel “The Secret Agent” is one of the high-water marks of Alfred Hitchcock’s early British period. Sylvia Sidney is the unsuspecting wife of a London cinema owner (Oskar Homolka) whom a Scotland Yard detective (John Loder) comes to believe is behind a string of terrorist attacks. The gripping centerpiece—involving a boy, a film canister, and a ticking time bomb—stands as one of the most heart-stopping moments of pure suspense in all of Hitchcock.
	Le sabotier du Val Loire Directed by Jacques Demy 1956 France Duration: 23:40	This 1956 short film by Jacques Demy documents a week in the life of a clog maker in the Loire Valley.
	Sabrina the Teenage Witch Directed by Tibor Takács Starring Melissa Joan Hart, Sherry Miller, Charlene Fernetz 1996 Duration: 1:30:47	Before the beloved sitcom that shaped a generation, there was this bewitching Sabrina movie, based on the Archie comic book series of the same name. Melissa Joan Hart stepped into her best-known role as a not-so-normal new girl in town who discovers on her sixteenth birthday that she possesses magical powers. But with a family of witches and a sarcastic talking black cat, Sabrina’s biggest challenge isn’t just fitting in, it’s surviving high school.
	Sada Directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi Starring Hitomi Kuroki, Tsurutaro Kataoka, Norihei Miki 1998 Japan Duration: 2:12:35	Legendary director Nobuhiko Obayashi brings his unique vision to the notorious true story of Sada Abe, the Japanese geisha whose life of hardship and sadomasochistic obsession exploded into public scandal in 1936 when she strangled her lover and cut off his genitalia as a keepsake. While the same incident famously inspired Nagisa Oshima’s controversial IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES, Obayashi’s typically offbeat, visually remarkable telling of the story differs greatly, focusing on the title character’s backstory and adopting an often darkly humorous tone.
	Sadie McKee Directed by Clarence Brown Starring Joan Crawford, Gene Raymond, Franchot Tone 1934 United States Duration: 1:32:46	One of the quintessential working-girl vehicles Joan Crawford starred in throughout the 1930s, SADIE MCKEE follows the fortunes of the eponymous heroine, who trades in her maid’s uniform for black sable as she moves on up in the world over the course of three relationships: with the singer (Gene Raymond) she loves, the tycoon (Edward Arnold) she marries, and the lawyer (Franchot Tone, soon to be the offscreen Mr. Joan Crawford) she grew up with. Throughout it all, Crawford endures personal trials and heartbreak with the chic sophistication that made her a Depression-era icon.

Ahmed Mazhar—a military-academy classmate of Nasser’s—stars as Saladin, the ruler of the kingdoms surrounding Jerusalem. When Christian invaders slaughter a band of Muslim pilgrims, Saladin sets out to take back the holy land against all odds. Working with an unprecedented budget (so big, in fact, that it bankrupted the producer) and a cast of thousands, director Youssef Chahine’s most large-scale work is a rousing vision of pan-Arab unity realized with the director’s trademark visual dynamism.

DUEL AT ICHIJOJI TEMPLE furthers Miyamoto along his path to spiritual enlightenment, as well as further from the arms of the two women who love him: loyal Otsu (Kaoru Yachigusa) and conniving yet tragic Akemi (Mariko Okada). The film also brings him face to face with hordes of rivals intent on cutting him down, especially his legendary rival Kojiro (Koji Tsuruta).

Less brazen in tone than its predecessor but equally entertaining, this classic character’s return is a masterpiece in its own right.

Rugoff was a difficult (some would say impossible) person but was also the man who brought international art films to mainstream attention with outrageous marketing schemes and pure bluster. Rugoff’s impact on cinema culture in the United States is inestimable, and his influence on the art-film business is undeniable. Yet, mysteriously, Rugoff is now virtually forgotten. SEARCHING FOR MR. RUGOFF tells the story of this fascinating, elusive personality through the eyes of his former employee Ira Deutchman, who sets out to find the truth about the man who had such a major impact on his life, and to understand how such an important figure could have disappeared so completely. SEARCHING FOR MR. RUGOFF is accompanied by The Cinema 5 Story, a series of films distributed by the legendary Cinema 5.

	The Sea Wolf Directed by Michael Curtiz Starring Edward G. Robinson, Ida Lupino, John Garfield 1941 United States Duration: 1:39:55	Michael Curtiz’s masterful adaptation of Jack London’s classic psychological adventure novel gives Edward G. Robinson one of his finest screen hours as Wolf Larsen, the tyrannical captain of a freighter who would rather “reign in hell than serve in heaven.” As the maniacal Larsen grows increasingly unhinged, a pair of fugitive passengers (Ida Lupino and John Garfield) come to realize that he will never let them leave his ship alive. Sol Polito contributes atmospheric cinematography while Robert Rossen’s script infuses the story with a strong antifascist statement.

	Seconds Directed by John Frankenheimer Starring Rock Hudson, Salome Jens, John Randolph 1966 United States Duration: 1:47:23	Rock Hudson is a revelation in this sinister, science-fiction-inflected dispatch from the fractured 1960s. SECONDS, directed by John Frankenheimer, concerns a middle-aged banker who, dissatisfied with his suburban existence, elects to undergo a strange and elaborate procedure that will grant him a new life. Starting over in America, however, is not as easy as it sounds. This paranoiac symphony of canted camera angles (courtesy of famed cinematographer James Wong Howe), fragmented editing, and layered sound design is a remarkably risk-taking Hollywood film that ranks high on the list of its legendary director’s achievements.

Based on the original play by Donald Freed and Arnold M. Stone, and starring Philip Baker Hall in a tour de force solo performance, Robert Altman’s SECRET HONOR is a searing interrogation of the Nixon mystique and an audacious depiction of unchecked paranoia.

With unexpected humor and gripping emotional realism, Leigh crafts an intricate, richly human exploration of the buried tensions and heartaches that run beneath the surface of family life.

Pietro Germi’s SEDUCED AND ABANDONED was the follow-up to his international sensation DIVORCE ITALIAN STYLE, and in many ways it’s even more audacious, a rollicking yet raw series of escalating comic calamities that ensue in a small village when sixteen-year-old Agnese (the beautiful Stefania Sandrelli) loses her virginity at the hands of her sister’s lascivious fiance. Merciless and mirthful, SEDUCED AND ABANDONED skewers Sicilian social customs and pompous patriarchies with a sly, devilish grin.

Through wrenching interviews with the victims whose lives have been shattered by the agonizing effects of asbestosis, SENNAN ASBESTOS DISASTER paints a damning portrait of how decades of negligence exacted a devastating human toll while revealing the ways in which the tragedy is deeply entwined with issues of class and anti-Korean discrimination. It’s also a galvanizing look at the power of collective action and what happens when ordinary people take on their own government—going up against an unfeeling, often maddeningly slow-moving bureaucracy in their unceasing fight for justice.

	Sensation of the Century Directed by Taguchi Suketaro and Nobusama Kawamoto 1966 Japan Duration: 2:36:23	The Japanese Organizing Committee responded frostily to Kon Ichikawa's TOKYO OLYMPIAD and decided a less 'frivolous' survey of the Tokyo Games should be made from the footage Ichikawa shot.

	Seoul 1988 Directed by Lee Kwang-soo 1989 South Korea Duration: 2:19:43	Of all the films that the Korean Motion Picture Promotion Corporation created for the Games of the XXIV Olympiad, Lee Kwang-soo's SEOUL 1988 is the most comprehensive. The film devotes much footage to sports dear to Koreans but regarded as minor in international terms: archery, table tennis (appearing as an official discipline for the first time at the Olympic Games), and shooting. And it revels in arcane details such as the American Florence Griffith Joyner's spending sixteen minutes in makeup before each race and the need for shooters to hit the center of a target just one milli- meter in diameter.

	The Seventh Continent Directed by Michael Haneke Starring Birgit Doll, Dieter Berner, Leni Tanzer 1989 Austria Duration: 1:48:31	The day-to-day routines of a seemingly ordinary Austrian family begin to take on a sinister complexion in Michael Haneke’s chilling portrait of bourgeois anomie giving way to shocking self-destruction. Inspired by a true story, the director’s first theatrical feature finds him fully in command of his style, observing with clinical detachment the spiritual emptiness of consumer culture—and the horror that lurks beneath its placid surfaces. THE SEVENTH CONTINENT builds to an annihilating encounter with the televisual void that powerfully synthesizes Haneke’s ideas about the link between violence and our culture of manufactured emotion.
	The Seventh Seal Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Max von Sydow, Inga Landgré, Gunnar Björnstrand 1957 Sweden Duration: 1:37:07	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, Bergman mounts a profound inquiry into the nature of faith and the torment of mortality. One of the most influential films of its time, THE SEVENTH SEAL is a stunning allegory of man’s search for meaning and a work of stark visual poetry.

	Seven Women of Different Ages Directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski 1979 Poland Duration: 16:24	Krzysztof Kieślowski made more than twenty documentaries, including this wryly observed short, which profiles seven ballet dancers, one for each day of the week.

	Several Friends Directed by Charles Burnett 1969 United States Duration: 22:03	Charles Burnett’s first film already displays the director’s neorealist, poetry-of-the-everyday style as it follows a group of friends over the course of an aimless day in Los Angeles.
	Sex Is Comedy Directed by Catherine Breillat Starring Anne Parillaud, Grégoire Colin, Roxane Mesquida 2002 France Duration: 1:35:00	Catherine Breillat’s behind-the-scenes account of shooting FAT GIRL stars Anne Parillaud as Breillat surrogate Jeanne, a director intent on getting her film’s most intimate sequence just right—even if it means alternately coaxing and battling her fragile, needy young actors (Grégoire Colin and Roxane Mesquida, virtually recreating her role from FAT GIRL). Once again exploring her signature obsessions, Breillat uses this metafictional format to investigate the ethical responsibilities of the artist, the messy logistics of running a set, and the slippery nature of realism, as applied to one of filmmaking’s most challenging ordeals: the simulated sex scene. Culminating in one actor’s ribald high jinks with a body prosthetic and another’s breakthrough into shattering emotional territory, SEX IS COMEDY is Breillat’s heady, brilliant synthesis of the ridiculous and the sublime.
	Shadow Animals Directed by Jerry Carlsson Starring Ayla Turin, Cecilia Milocco, Peter Melin 2017 Sweden Duration: 21:42	Marall, a young girl, accompanies her parents to a dinner party where the strange social rituals of the adult world take an unsettling turn.

A divorcé with a six-year-old daughter who has been estranged from his father for decades, he is looking for a new perspective on life while reconsidering his failings as a father, a son, and a lover. While the seasons come and go, people get together and move apart. Only one thing will remain the same: the White Pagoda where they all meet sooner or later. Costarring major Fifth Generation filmmaker Tian Zhuangzhuang (THE HORSE THIEF, THE BLUE KITE), this rich, profoundly sensitive rumination on the possibility of human connection achieves a novelistic expansiveness as it surveys the ebbs and flows of a life shaped by loss, yearning, and regret.

The relationship is put in jeopardy when Tony meets Lelia’s darker-skinned jazz singer brother, Hugh (Hugh Hurd), and discovers that her racial heritage is not what he thought it was. Shot on location in Manhattan with a mostly nonprofessional cast and crew, SHADOWS is a penetrating work that is widely considered the forerunner of the American independent film movement.
	Shadows in Paradise Directed by Aki Kaurismäki 1986 Finland Duration: 1:14:14	Lonely garbageman Nikkander (Matti Pellonpää) finds himself directionless after losing his friend and co-worker to a sudden heart attack; unlikely redemption comes in the form of plain supermarket cashier Ilona (Kati Outinen, in her first of many performances for Kaurismäki), with whom he begins a tentative love affair. Boiling down what is essentially a romantic comedy to a series of spare and beautiful gestures, Kaurismäki conjures an unexpected delight that finds hope blossoming even amid gray surroundings.

Shot with the tenderness of a home movie, SHAKEDOWN captures the propulsive, dreamlike atmosphere of the club and achieves a stunning intimacy with its subjects.
	Shake! Otis at Monterey Directed by D. A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus 1986 United States Duration: 19:09	Redding, a venerable star of Memphis’s Stax record label, seduced the "love crowd" in one of his best, and last, performances. SHAKE!

	Shame Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Liv Ullmann, Max von Sydow 1968 Sweden Duration: 1:43:13	Directed by Ingmar Bergman, SHAME (SKAMMEN) is at once an examination of the violent legacy of World War II and a scathing response to the escalation of the conflict in Vietnam.

This film, which contains some of the most devastating scenes in Bergman’s oeuvre, shows the impact of war on individual lives.

	The Shepherds of Calamity Directed by Nico Papatakis Starring Olga Karlatos, George Dialegmenos, Lambros Tsagas 1967 Greece Duration: 2:01:48	Nico Papatakis’s caustic political allegory—made in the wake of the 1967 Greek coup d’état that led to the establishment of a right-wing military junta—takes the form of a deliriously unhinged romantic tragedy. Beginning with the image of an exploding goat and only proceeding to get stranger from there, THE SHEPHERDS OF CALAMITY (also known as THANOS AND DESPINA) centers on the forbidden romance between a poor shepherd (George Dialegmenos) and the daughter (Olga Karlatos) of a well-off family who find their love beset by the machinations of those around them.

The family begins to unravel when the captain invites Sally to live on the ship, where she and Johannes form a tender connection. Told in flashback and inspired in part by French poetic realism, A SHIP TO INDIA marks a major evolution in Ingmar Bergman’s early filmmaking, demonstrating his gifts as a conjurer of beguiling images and a dramatist of lacerating emotions.
	Shit Saturday Directed by Gregorio Rocha 1988 Mexico Duration: 24:07	Brawls with rockers, hair-spiking sessions, scavenging denim at the junkyard, joyrides, and mosh pits—it’s all in a day for the Mierdas Punk (Punk Shits), a youth gang in Ciudad Neza, Mexico City’s outer slum. Shot on gauzily grimy 16 mm, this short film by Gregorio Rocha (THE LOST REELS OF PANCHO VILLA) tracks the Mierdas across a single Saturday on the eave of Easter, leading up to a raucous punk show and a euphoric flight from the cops. Rocha and his partner, video artist Sarah Minter, invited the teens to collaborate on the script and deliver uninhibited performances as themselves, resulting in an exuberant expression of their flamboyant style and giddily nihilistic attitude.
	Shock Corridor Directed by Samuel Fuller Starring Peter Breck, Constance Towers, Gene Evans 1963 United States Duration: 1:41:28	Directed by Samuel Fuller • 1963 • United States Starring Peter Breck, Constance Towers, Gene Evans In SHOCK CORRIDOR, the great American writer-director-producer Samuel Fuller masterfully charts the uneasy terrain between sanity and madness.

	Shoes Directed by Lois Weber Starring Mary MacLaren, Harry Griffith, Mattie Witting 1916 United States Duration: 52:22	Decades before the artistic triumph of neorealism and the cultural revolution of the feminist movement, director Lois Weber expressed the seeds of both in what is perhaps her greatest work: an almost documentary-like look at the everyday struggles of an ordinary young woman. Eva Meyer (sixteen-year-old Mary MacLaren, in a revelatory performance) is a poor shop girl working at a five-and-dime. Each week, Eva returns to her cold-water flat and dutifully hands over her meager earnings to her mother. But her wages barely cover the grocer’s bill and cannot provide for decent clothing. With only cardboard to patch the holes in the soles of her shoes, Eva’s life becomes harder with each rainy day and every splinter. In constant pain and with no solution in sight, the disheartened girl resorts to desperate measures.
	Shogun Assassin Directed by Kenji Misumi and Robert Houston Starring Tomisaburo Wakayama, Kayo Matsuo, Minoru Oki 1980 United States Duration: 1:25:24	The legendary midnight-movie sensation that firmly embedded samurai mythology within American pop-culture consciousness, this English-dubbed reedit of the first two films in the classic Japanese chanbara series LONE WOLF AND CUB is a giddily entertaining, mesmerizingly gory classic of East-meets-West grindhouse mayhem. Following the murder of his wife at the hands of an evil shogun, an avenging ronin (Tomisaburo Wakayama) roams the countryside with his young son—and the boy’s sword-shooting baby carriage—in tow, dispatching ninja assassins with steely resolve in operatically stylized flurries of hallucinatory violence. With its pulsing synth soundtrack (cowritten by Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere & the Raiders) and delirious action set pieces—kinetically edited whirlwinds of flashing blades, spurting blood, and severed limbs—SHOGUN ASSASSIN proved an instant cult favorite that has bubbled its way up from the underground thanks to its influence on artists ranging from the Wu-Tang Clan to Quentin Tarantino.
	The Shooting Directed by Monte Hellman Starring Warren Oates, Millie Perkins, Jack Nicholson 1966 United States Duration: 1:21:18	In this eerie, existential western directed by Monte Hellman and written by Carole Eastman (FIVE EASY PIECES), Warren Oates and Will Hutchins play a bounty hunter and his sidekick who are talked by a mysterious woman (Millie Perkins) into leading her into the desert on a murkily motivated revenge mission. Things are further complicated by the addition to their crew of an enigmatic drifter (Jack Nicholson) who seems to delight in sadistically toying with the two men. Hellman’s singular odyssey is a vision of the weird old west unlike any other, a spare and challenging work leading to a provocative ending.
	Shoot the Piano Player Directed by François Truffaut Starring Charles Aznavour, Marie Dubois, Nicole Berger 1960 France Duration: 1:21:45	François Truffaut is drunk on the possibilities of cinema in this, his most playful film. Part thriller, part comedy, part tragedy, SHOOT THE PIANO PLAYER relates the adventures of mild-mannered piano player Charlie (Charles Aznavour, in a triumph of hangdog deadpan) as he stumbles into the criminal underworld and a whirlwind love affair. Loaded with gags, guns, clowns, and thugs, this razor-sharp homage to the American gangster film is pure nouvelle vague.

	Le silence de la mer Directed by Jean-Pierre Melville Starring Howard Vernon, Nicole Stéphane, Jean-Marie Robain 1949 France Duration: 1:27:22	Jean-Pierre Melville began his superb feature filmmaking career with this powerful adaptation of an influential underground novel written during the Nazi occupation of France. A cultured, naively idealistic German officer is billeted in the home of a middle-aged man and his grown niece; their response to his presence—their only form of resistance—is complete silence. Constructed with elegant minimalism and shot, by the legendary Henri Decaë, with hushed eloquence, LE SILENCE DE LA MER points the way toward Melville’s later films about resistance and the occupation (LEON MORIN, PRIEST; ARMY OF SHADOWS) yet remains a singularly eerie masterwork in its own right.

Yet the devil, in the figure of the beautiful Silvia Pinal, huddles below, trying to tempt him down. A skeptic’s vision of human conviction, Buñuel’s short and sweet satire is one of the master filmmaker’s most renowned works of surrealism.
	Sincerity Directed by Masaki Kobayashi 1953 Japan Duration: 1:35:13	SINCERE HEART (1953, aka MAGOKORO) was Masaki Kobayashi's second film as a director -- but as with his first, YOUTH OF THE SON, it is something of a hybrid work, influenced heavily by his longtime mentor Keisuke Kinoshita, who wrote the screenplay. The resulting film is a deeply passionate and sentimental drama about a young student (Akira Inshihama) who falls into a hopeless romantic attraction to an invalid girl (Keiko Awaji) whom he can only see from afar.

When a hotshot reporter (Jennifer Salt) suspects Dominique of a brutal murder, she becomes dangerously ensnared in the sisters’ insidious sibling bond. A scary and stylish dissection of female crisis, Brian De Palma’s first foray into horror voyeurism is a stunning amalgam of split-screen effects, bloody birthday cakes, and a chilling score by frequent Alfred Hitchcock collaborator Bernard Herrmann.
	The Sisters of Mercy Directed by Hal Hartley Starring Parker Posey, Sabrina Lloyd 2004 United States Duration: 16:49	This documentary consists of footage shot between actual takes during the production of the short film IRIS, revealing the imagination, diligence, and patience that goes into composing a shot.

Mizoguchi's film is a brilliantly shot, uncompromising look at the forces that keep many women at the bottom rung of the social ladder.
	Six Men Getting Sick Directed by David Lynch 1967 United States Duration: 04:20	Six cartoon figures vomit repeatedly.
	The Sixth Day Directed by Youssef Chahine Starring Dalida, Mohsen Mohieddin, Shwikar 1986 Egypt Duration: 1:48:06	This singularly arresting adaptation of a novel by renowned writer Andrée Chedid casts French pop star Dalida (in her final screen performance) as a married washerwoman trying to save the life of her stricken grandson in the midst of the 1947 cholera outbreak in Cairo, while simultaneously navigating the romantic advances of a charming, Gene Kelly–obsessed young organ grinder (Mohsen Mohieddin).

	Slacker Directed by Richard Linklater Starring Richard Linklater, Kathy McCarty, Rudy Basquez 1991 United States Duration: 1:40:26	SLACKER, directed by Richard Linklater, presents a day in the life of a loose-knit Austin, Texas, subculture populated by eccentric and overeducated young people. Shooting on 16 mm for a mere $23,000, writer-producer-director Linklater and his crew of friends threw out any idea of a traditional plot, choosing instead to create a tapestry of over a hundred characters, each as compelling as the last. SLACKER is a prescient look at an emerging generation of aggressive nonparticipants, and one of the key films of the American independent film movement of the 1990s.
	Sleepwalk Directed by Sara Driver Starring Suzanne Fletcher, Ann Magnuson, Dexter Lee 1986 United States Duration: 1:15:07	Sara Driver’s first feature is a tantalizingly enigmatic, surrealist fantasia rooted in the grit and anything-goes energy of the 1980s New York night world. When Nicole (Suzanne Fletcher), a young copy-shop employee, is hired to translate an ancient Chinese manuscript, she soon finds that the document has strange powers that exert an eerie influence over her life. As women go bald, people mysteriously die, and Xerox machines seem to develop minds of their own, Driver guides this hypnagogic reverie into increasingly hallucinatory, dreamlike realms, aided by the striking chiaroscuro compositions of cinematographer Jim Jarmusch.

It’s the medical miracle heard round the world, as Marco becomes fodder for the press, a curiosity to the scientific community, and a cash cow for a maternity-wear company—while leaving his hairdresser wife (Catherine Deneuve) alternately gobsmacked and delighted. Jacques Demy, directing in his très charmant, candy-colored visual style, plays the absurdist premise for both cheery comedy and slyly subversive social commentary, raising serious questions about male-female social roles and gender equality.
	Slip Directed by Nicole Otero Starring Tei Shi, Myron Donley, Vincent Ticali 2019 United States Duration: 11:26	A solitary woman wanders a noirish urban nightscape.

	The Small Back Room Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger Starring David Farrar, Kathleen Byron, Jack Hawkins 1949 United Kingdom Duration: 1:47:32	After the lavish Technicolor spectacle of THE RED SHOES, British filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger retreated into the inward, shadowy recesses of this moody, crackling character study. Based on the acclaimed novel by Nigel Balchin, THE SMALL BACK ROOM details the professional and personal travails of troubled, alcoholic research scientist and military bomb-disposal expert Sammy Rice (David Farrar), who, while struggling with a complex relationship with secretary girlfriend Susan (Kathleen Byron), is hired by the government to advise on a dangerous new German weapon.

	Smiles of a Summer Night Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Ulla Jacobsson, Eva Dahlbeck, Harriet Andersson 1955 Sweden Duration: 1:49:20	After fifteen films that received mostly local acclaim, the comedy SMILES OF A SUMMER NIGHT at last ushered in an international audience for Ingmar Bergman. In turn-of-the-century Sweden, four men and four women attempt to navigate the laws of attraction. During a weekend in the country, the women collude to force the men’s hands in matters of the heart, exposing their pretensions and insecurities along the way. Chock-full of flirtatious propositions and sharp witticisms delivered by such Swedish screen legends as Gunnar Björnstrand and Harriet Andersson, SMILES OF A SUMMER NIGHT is one of cinema’s great erotic comedies.
	Smithereens Directed by Susan Seidelman 1982 United States Duration: 1:33:34	Directed by Susan Seidelman • 1982 • United States Susan Seidelman established her distinctive vision of New York City with this debut feature, the lo-fi original for her vibrant portraits of women reinventing themselves. After escaping New Jersey, the quintessentially punk Wren (Susan Berman)—a spark plug in fishnets—moves to the city with the mission of becoming famous. When not pasting up self-promotional flyers or hanging at the Peppermint Lounge, she’s getting involved with Paul (Brad Rinn), the nicest guy to ever live in a van next to the highway, and Eric (Richard Hell), an aloof rocker. Shot on 16 mm film that captures the grit and glam of downtown in the 1980s, with an alternately moody and frenetic soundtrack by the Feelies and others, SMITHEREENS—the first American independent film to compete for the Palme d’Or—is an unfaded snapshot of a bygone era.

Based on Joyce Carol Oates’s celebrated short story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?,” the narrative debut from Joyce Chopra features a revelatory breakout performance by Laura Dern as Connie, the fifteen-year-old black sheep of her family, whose summertime idyll of beach trips, mall hangouts, and innocent flirtations is shattered by an encounter with a mysterious stranger (a memorably menacing Treat Williams). Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, SMOOTH TALK captures the thrill and terror of adolescent sexual exploration, and it transforms the conventions of a coming-of-age story into something altogether more troubling and profound.
	The Sniper Directed by Edward Dmytryk Starring Adolphe Menjou, Arthur Franz, Gerald Mohr 1952 United States Duration: 1:28:05	Blacklisted director Edward Dmytryk—one of the original Hollywood Ten—made his return to filmmaking with this disturbingly prescient psychological thriller.

	Snow Trail Directed by Senkichi Taniguchi 1947 Japan Duration: 1:28:50	The keepers of an inn high in the Japanese alps are unaware that their three guests are actually fugitive bank robbers. Directed by Senkichi Taniguchi.
	So Can I Directed by Abbas Kiarostami 1975 Iran Duration: 04:52	The first of Abbas Kiarostami’s films made for, rather than about, children was an experiment in combining live action and animation, done in collaboration with animator Nafiseh Riahi. As two schoolboys watch animated views of animals’ actions—kangaroos jumping, fish swimming, etc.—one boy (played by Riahi’s son Kamal) says, “I can, too,” and imitates the actions. The music is sprightly, the mood fun. The second boy is Kiarostami’s son Ahmad.
	Social Butterfly Directed by Lauren Wolkstein Starring Anna Margaret Hollyman, Camille Claris, Ulysse Grosjean 2013 France Duration: 14:41	A thirty-year-old American woman crashes a teenage party in the South of France, leading the guests to wonder who she is and what she is doing there.
	Socrates Directed by Roberto Rossellini 1971 Italy Duration: 1:59:09	Roberto Rossellini may have made SOCRATES (1971) for television, but he didn't let the small screen's budget and production limitations -- drawing on the few presumed facts known about the philosopher, and with fine central performances by Jean Sylvere and Anne Caprile, he ended up with a charming, visually stylized and engaging account of his subject's last days.

	Soft Fiction Directed by Chick Strand 1979 United States Duration: 55:03	Made in collaboration with its subjects, Chick Strand’s masterpiece SOFT FICTION gives five women the space to, in Strand’s words, perform “an exorcism of [an] experience.” Strand captures the slippery, vivid memories of erotic fantasy, confusing sexual encounters, addiction, incest, and historical trauma, laying bare narrative’s dual function of expressing and containing experience.
	The Soft Skin Directed by François Truffaut Starring Jean Desailly, Françoise Dorléac, Nelly Benedetti 1964 France Duration: 1:57:56	François Truffaut followed up the international phenomenon JULES AND JIM with this tense tale of infidelity. The unassuming Jean Desailly is perfectly cast as a celebrated literary scholar, seemingly happily married, who embarks on an affair with a gorgeous stewardess, played by Françoise Dorléac, who is captivated by his charm and reputation. As their romance gets serious, the film grows anxious, leading to a wallop of a conclusion. Truffaut made THE SOFT SKIN at a time when he was immersing himself in the work of Alfred Hitchcock, and that master’s influence can be felt throughout this complex, insightful, and underseen French New Wave treasure.
	The Soft Space Directed by Sofia Bohdanowicz and Melanie J. Scheiner Starring Melanie J. Scheiner 2018 Canada Duration: 04:13	The New York City subway and the human body are juxtaposed in a striking, rapid-fire study in contrasts.

Laced with deadly irony and righteous anger, SOLEIL Ô follows a starry-eyed immigrant (Robert Liensol) as he leaves West Africa and journeys to Paris in search of a job and cultural enrichment—but soon discovers a hostile society in which his very presence elicits fear and resentment. Drawing on the freewheeling stylistic experimentation of the French New Wave, Hondo deploys a dizzying array of narrative and stylistic techniques—animation, docudrama, dream sequences, musical numbers, folklore, slapstick comedy, agitprop—to create a revolutionary landmark of political cinema and a shattering vision of awakening black consciousness. SOLEIL Ô was restored as part of the African Film Heritage Project, an initiative created by The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project, the Pan-African Federation of Filmmakers (FEPACI), and UNESCO, in collaboration with the Cineteca di Bologna, to help locate, restore, and disseminate fifty African films with historic, artistic, and cultural significance.

But strange events and an ominous, unseen stalker soon turn the charmed life of television director Leigh Michaels (Lauren Hutton) into a bare-knuckled fight for survival. Written and directed by John Carpenter (just prior to his breakout hit HALLOWEEN), this taut, efficiently crafted thriller delivers expertly deployed tension alongside an intriguing exploration of high-tech voyeurism, urban alienation, and feminist resistance.
	Something Different Directed by Věra Chytilová 1963 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:24:36	The debut feature from Věra Chytilová interweaves two stories simultaneously: one a narrative about a frustrated mother (Vera Uzelacová) discontented with the drudgery of housework, the other a quasi documentary about a gymnast (real-life Olympic gold medalist Eva Bosáková) training for a final competition before she retires. Taken together, they form a piercing portrait of women’s experiences in 1960s Czechoslovakia and a daring first expression of the feminist themes Chytilová would explore in subsequent works like DAISIES.
	Something Like a War Directed by Deepa Dhanraj 1991 India Duration: 51:57	SOMETHING LIKE A WAR is a chilling examination of India’s family-planning program from the point of view of the women who are its primary targets.

As the women themselves discuss their status, sexuality, fertility control, and health, it is clear that their perceptions are in conflict with those of the program.

Six moments from our age, like memories of the world we leave behind.
	Somewhere a Destination Directed by Celeste Lapida Starring Celeste Lapida 2021 Philippines Duration: 08:48	“ . . . people who move away from the gender they were assigned at birth [. . .] want to strike out toward some new location, some space not yet clearly defined or concretely occupied; [. . .] the movement across a socially imposed boundary away from an unchosen starting place.” —Susan Stryker, “Transgender History” Somewhere a Destination There are changes that I’m happy about, small ones that only I notice. The details on my skin or every new centimeter of hair, I watch them crawl like a trail of ants on the wall from an undecipherable nook of somewhere else. Sometimes I would hear whispers from my thighs and a humming by my arms, which come so unexpectedly like a breeze, the one that comes in on a busy street of a working afternoon. From a distance and without pausing, they may only seem to be a wall or just a busy street, but it still makes a body—even if it’s just one and only mine. “It can only be so rewarding,” I tell people whenever I’m asked how it feels to be in this body. What other people notice is a collection of these changes in images. Ones they collect of a body from 2017 versus the images they have of it today. They recognize an image and assume that that is a certain destination of a body, while only so few can come close and maybe even pause to see that these images are moving, transitioning in perpetuity. Ambiguous details of an ambiguous destination. I look up at the sky, it’s nighttime. On the left is one grey cloud and it stays there. I look straight at the tall buildings, all staying still. Some windows beam out a light, some are just about to be turned off. If I were by the sea, looking straight wouldn’t mean looking at stiff structures, but the sea, instead, of course. And it would curl in on itself, releasing to the shore. I imagine being there, knowing how much I miss its promise of always new images. I look to the skies again, the one that pairs with the buildings, and the cloud is on the middle. If it were 2pm, I would be hearing metal and wood from a construction nearby. There just always is one and it didn’t matter if it was in my line of sight or someplace else, something was always being built here. The one I am seeing now may promise new images; seeing new details added by its construction. But it has to be finished one day, and the changes it is meant to take would be final. New details would be decay, until its fixed to another defined image. And I watch the cloud. Slowly changing its position, moving closer to the right. It expands too, a new shape, a new thing anyone could imagine it to be. Moments ago, I was imagining the cloud as a person in a dress swaying, perhaps they were dancing. Now I’m imagining a wrist that softly points its hand somewhere. From where I sit looking on, only half of this horizon promises ambiguity, hopefully in perpetuity. There can be glimpses of what feels rewarding. A recognition that something feels right, finally, brings this reward. When a body looks around a space and notices all the wrong things about it, in its rigidness and straight lines, a body starts to desire. This is when queerhood starts: desiring for a better place, somewhere far from present rigidness, somewhere vast and unexplored. And being there is like being with her, watching her get dressed and pick the right shoes to dance in. Sometimes she’d lend me her earrings or fix my hair before we head out. Being there feels like laughing with them while walking in a dark street. It feels dangerous, that in any moment uniformed men would force us to show identification and threaten us, then nothing happens. They and I continue to walk. It’s like being with him quietly looking for our seats in a movie house, sitting down and ready to watch. In this dark room, the light is on both our faces, slowly attaining inspiration. When we’re all watching a fireworks show— more light on our faces, changing in each boom and spark. Joy and astonishment. The fireworks are loud but we all cheered much louder, together. Even when one tried to catch their breath, to take a moment in, we were in chorus. When you and I make a bed after sleeping in the afternoon. Checking all corners are tucked in tight. You offer me tea, knowing just how I like it. The sun starts to set, its orange blushes the white clouds. You say “the clouds are blushing”. You and I sit outside and watch until it’s all grey, before heading back inside for dinner. Being there is being with you. Glimpses of somewhere, at least for now.

	Songs for Drella Directed by Ed Lachman Starring Lou Reed, John Cale 1990 United Kingdom Duration: 56:33	Newly restored, this elegiac concert documentary captures the extraordinary 1990 reunion of estranged Velvet Underground bandmates Lou Reed and John Cale. The occasion for this landmark event was a live performance of their album “Songs for Drella,” a wry and wrenching tribute to their recently deceased former manager Andy Warhol (the nickname, Drella, a portmanteau of Dracula and Cinderella, hints at the complex feelings the two men held for the artist, who exerted a Svengali-like influence over their early careers). Filmed with evocative austerity by renowned cinematographer Ed Lachman (THE VIRGIN SUICIDES, CAROL), SONGS FOR DRELLA is both a mesmerizing musical experience and a haunting reflection on memory, loss, regret, and the search for solace.

Carlsson 2000 Sweden Duration: 1:39:00	Following a twenty-five year break from feature filmmaking, Swedish existentialist Roy Andersson reintroduced his singular vision to the world with this by turns bleak and mordantly funny vision of the tragicomic absurdity of modern life.

An office worker is fired in the most humiliating way possible; a magician fails at a magic trick; self-flagellating stockbrokers take to the streets; and one desperate man (Lars Nordh) decides to burn it all down.

Though it’s set in Rome on the historic day in 1938 when Benito Mussolini and the city first rolled out the red carpet for Adolf Hitler, the film takes place entirely in a working-class apartment building, where an unexpected friendship blossoms between a pair of people who haven’t joined the festivities: a conservative housewife and mother tending to her domestic duties and a liberal radio broadcaster awaiting deportation. Scola paints an exquisite portrait in muted tones, a story of two individuals helpless in the face of Fascism’s rise.

He stars as a cheeky student at a Shaolin temple who must fight to protect his order, with help from some unexpected mentors: five pink-haired, silver-leotard-sporting extraterrestrial spirits who train him in arcane, animal-style martial arts with an otherworldly flair. The ghostly high jinks (realized with eye-poppingly outlandish special effects) give way to a last half hour that’s near-nonstop action, with Chan single-handedly taking on eighteen stick-wielding monks in a blistering battle royal.

It’s the beginning of an extended surveillance operation that gradually reveals as much about the woman they are watching—and the oppressive marriage she is trapped in—as the case they are investigating. Adapted by regular Kurosawa screenwriter Shinobu Hashimoto (RASHOMON, SEVEN SAMURAI) from a story by Seicho Matsumoto and directed with cool precision by noir specialist Yoshitaro Nomura, this slow-burn procedural blends a Hitchcockian study of voyeurism with an empathetic look at the circumstances of women in postwar Japan.

Adapting a science-fiction novel by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, Tarkovsky created an immersive world with a wealth of material detail and a sense of organic atmosphere.

	The Steel Helmet Directed by Samuel Fuller 1951 United States Duration: 1:24:23	The Steel Helmet marked Samuel Fuller's official arrival as a mighty cinematic force. Despite its relatively low budget, this portrait of Korean War soldiers dealing with moral and racial identity crises remains one of the director's most gripping, realistic depictions of the blood and guts of war, as well as a reflection of Fuller's irreducible social conscience. So controversial were the film's comments on domestic and war crimes (American bigotry, the Japanese-American WWII internment camps) that Fuller became the target of an FBI investigation.

	The Story of a Three Day Pass Directed by Melvin Van Peebles Starring Harry Baird, Nicole Berger, Hal Brav 1967 United States Duration: 1:28:11	Melvin Van Peebles’s edgy, angsty, romantic first feature could never have been made in America. Unable to break into segregated Hollywood, Van Peebles decamped to France, taught himself the language, and wrote a number of books in French, one of which, “La permission,” would become the stylistically innovative THE STORY OF A THREE DAY PASS. Turner (Harry Baird), an African American soldier stationed in France, is granted a promotion and a three-day leave from base by his casually racist commanding officer and heads to Paris, where he finds whirlwind romance with a white woman (Nicole Berger)—but what happens to their love when his furlough is over? Channeling the brash exuberance of the French New Wave, Van Peebles creates an exploration of the psychology of an interracial relationship as well as a commentary on France’s contradictory attitudes about race that is playful, sarcastic, and stingingly subversive by turns, and that laid the foundation for the scorched-earth cinematic revolution he would let loose just a few years later.
	A Story of Floating Weeds Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Starring Takeshi Sakamoto, Choko Iida, Koji (Hideo) Mitsui 1934 Japan Duration: 1:26:27	In 1959, Yasujiro Ozu remade his 1934 silent classic A STORY OF FLOATING WEEDS in color with the celebrated cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa (RASHOMON, UGETSU).

Together, the films offer a unique glimpse into the evolution of one of cinema’s greatest directors. A STORY OF FLOATING WEEDS reveals Ozu in the midst of developing his mode of expression; FLOATING WEEDS reveals his distinct style at its pinnacle. In each, the director captures the joy and sadness in everyday life.
	The Story of O Directed by Just Jaeckin Starring Corinne Cléry, Udo Kier, Alain Noury 1975 France Duration: 1:44:49	Before there was FIFTY SHADES OF GREY, there was THE STORY OF O, the infamous adaptation of the controversial erotic novel by Anne Desclos. The ultimate in Euro-cult art-porn kitsch, this banned-in-Britain underground classic follows a young fashion photographer (Corinne Cléry) journeying into sadomasochistic submission as she gives herself over to a life of bondage under a cruel master (Anthony Steel)—with branded buttocks, bird masks, soft-focus sex, and Udo Kier all part of the proceedings.
	The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi Starring Shotaro Hanayagi, Kokichi Takada, Gonjuro Kawarazaki 1939 Japan Duration: 2:23:57	This heartrending masterpiece by Kenji Mizoguchi about the give-and-take between life and art marked the first full realization of the hypnotic long takes and eloquent camera movements that would come to define the director’s films. Kikunosuke (Shotaro Hanayagi), the adopted son of a legendary kabuki actor who is striving to achieve stardom by mastering female roles, turns to his infant brother’s wet nurse for support and affection—and she soon gives up everything for her beloved’s creative glory. Offering a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of kabuki theater in the late nineteenth century, THE STORY OF THE LAST CHRYSANTHEMUM provides a critique of the oppression of women and the sacrifices required of them, and represents the pinnacle of Mizoguchi’s early career.

Struggling to survive in Nazi-occupied France, impoverished mother Marie (Huppert) finds success and a chance at a better life by performing clandestine abortions—work that puts her in conflict with the Vichy regime’s brutal ban against the practice, which it regards as a “crime against the state.”
	La strada Directed by Federico Fellini Starring Giulietta Masina, Anthony Quinn, Richard Basehart 1954 Italy Duration: 1:49:02	With this breakthrough film, Federico Fellini launched both himself and his wife and collaborator Giulietta Masina to international stardom, breaking with the neorealism of his early career in favor of a personal, poetic vision of life as a bittersweet carnival. The infinitely expressive Masina registers both childlike wonder and heartbreaking despair as Gelsomina, loyal companion to the traveling strongman Zampanò (Anthony Quinn, in a toweringly physical performance), whose callousness and brutality gradually wear down her gentle spirit. Winner of the very first Academy Award for Best Foreign-Language Film, LA STRADA (“The Road”) possesses the purity and timeless resonance of a fable and remains one of cinema’s most exquisitely moving visions of humanity struggling to survive in the face of life’s cruelties.

	The Stranger Directed by Satyajit Ray 1991 India Duration: 2:00:11	Satyajit Ray's valedictory film is a multifaceted character study that contains both humor and melancholy rumination. Based on the filmmaker's own story,The Stranger involves a bourgeois couple who are taken off guard when a man claiming to be the wife's long-lost uncle sends word that he will be coming to stay with them after years of travel.

	Strangers Directed by Rajee Samarasinghe 2022 Sri Lanka Duration: 10:56	“This footage was shot shortly after the civil war in Sri Lanka on the occasion of my mother’s long-delayed reunion with Kamala, the aunt she lived with as a child. Kamala was living a life of solitude at this point and has now since passed away—this film is dedicated to her.” —Rajee Samarasinghe
	Stranger Than Paradise Directed by Jim Jarmusch Starring John Lurie, Richard Edson, Eszter Balint 1984 United States Duration: 1:29:26	With this breakout film, Jim Jarmusch established himself as one of the most exciting voices in the burgeoning independent-film scene, a road-movie poet with an affinity for Americana at its most offbeat. Jarmusch follows rootless Hungarian émigré Willie (John Lurie), his pal Eddie (Richard Edson), and his visiting sixteen-year-old cousin, Eva (Eszter Balint), as they drift from New York’s Lower East Side to the snowy expanses of Lake Erie and the drab beaches of Florida, always managing to make the least of wherever they end up. Structured as a series of master-shot vignettes etched in black and white by cinematographer Tom DiCillo, STRANGER THAN PARADISE is a nonchalant masterpiece of deadpan comedy and perfectly calibrated minimalism.
	Strange Victory Directed by Leo Hurwitz Starring Alfred Drake, Muriel Smith, Gary Merrill 1948 United States Duration: 1:04:03	In 1945, the free world rejoiced over the defeat of fascism. But the sense of peace was short-lived, and as the Cold War began, the United States entered a period of national paranoia and political repression. In response, boundary-pushing publisher and producer Barney Rosset and director Leo Hurwitz joined forces to create STRANGE VICTORY. This rarely seen, stylistically bold documentary equals the visual brilliance of landmark works like BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN and I AM CUBA while delivering an extraordinary cry for equality and justice. Skillfully combining real-life footage of World War II combat, postwar refugees, and the Nuremberg trials with powerful dramatic reenactments, Hurwitz weaves an extraordinary cinematic portrait of postwar American fascism. How could it be, the film asks, that servicemen returning home from defeating a racist and genocidal enemy found a United States plagued by prejudice, Jim Crow, anti-Semitism, anti-Catholicism, and xenophobia?
	Stray Directed by Ashley McKenzie Starring Brooklyn Campbell, Susan Kent, Jennie Raymond 2013 Canada Duration: 14:13	In this jagged childhood portrait tinged with menace, a nine-year-old girl alienated from her family roams her neighborhood’s postindustrial landscape in search of a feral cat.

Desperate to right the wrong, he goes undercover, scavenging Tokyo’s sweltering streets for the stray dog whose desperation has led him to a life of crime. With each step, cop and criminal’s lives become more intertwined and the investigation becomes an examination of Murakami’s own dark side. Starring Toshiro Mifune, as the rookie cop, and Takashi Shimura, as the seasoned detective who keeps him on the right side of the law, STRAY DOG (NORA INU) goes beyond a crime thriller, probing the squalid world of postwar Japan and the nature of the criminal mind.
	Street of Love and Hope Directed by Nagisa Oshima 1959 Japan Duration: 1:02:36	Nagisa Oshima's first feature film, A STREET OF LOVE AND HOPE paints a biting portrait of poverty and class difference through the life of a young boy who sells pigeons on the street. The radical and unflinching politics that would become Oshima's hallmark are here on display in his earliest work.
	Street of Shame Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi 1956 Japan Duration: 1:26:15	For his final film, Mizoguchi brought a lifetime of experience to bear on the heartbreaking tale of a brothel full of women whose dreams are constantly being shattered by the socioeconomic realities surrounding them. Set in Tokyo's Red Light District (the literal translation of the Japanese title), Street of Shame was so cutting, and its popularity so great, that when an antiprostitution law was passed in Japan just a few months after the film's release, some said it was a catalyst.
	Streetwise Directed by Martin Bell 1984 United States Duration: 1:31:26	Seattle, 1983. Taking their camera to the streets of what was supposedly America’s most livable city, filmmaker Martin Bell, photographer Mary Ellen Mark, and journalist Cheryl McCall set out to tell the stories of those society had left behind: homeless and runaway teenagers living on the city’s margins. Born from a “Life” magazine exposé by Mark and McCall, “Streetwise” follows an unforgettable group of at-risk children—including iron-willed fourteen-year-old Tiny, who would become the project’s most haunting and enduring face, along with the pugnacious yet resourceful Rat and the affable drifter DeWayne—who, driven from their broken homes, survive by hustling, panhandling, and dumpster diving. Granted remarkable access to their world, the filmmakers craft a devastatingly frank, nonjudgmental portrait of lost youth growing up far too soon in a world that has failed them.
	Street Without End Directed by Mikio Naruse Starring Setsuko Shinobu, Akio Isono, Hikaru Yamanouchi 1934 Japan Duration: 1:28:43	Mikio Naruse’s final silent film is a gloriously rich portrait of a waitress, Sugiko, whose life, despite a host of male admirers and even some intrigued movie talent scouts, ends up taking a suffocatingly domestic turn after a wealthy businessman accidentally hits her with his car. Featuring vividly drawn characters and bold political commentary, STREET WITHOUT END is the grandly entertaining silent melodrama with which Naruse arrived at the brink of the sound era.
	Stress Is Three Directed by Carlos Saura Starring Geraldine Chaplin, Juan Luis Galiardo, Fernando Cebrián 1968 Spain Duration: 1:34:08	A dangerous love triangle comes into focus as, over the course of one fateful day, a possessive industrialist (Fernando Cebrián), his unfaithful wife (Geraldine Chaplin), and his flirtatious best friend (Juan Luis Galiardo) embark on a road trip from Madrid to the coast of Spain—who among them will make it back alive?

	Strip Nude for Your Killer Directed by Andrea Bianchi Starring Edwige Fenech, Nino Castelnuovo, Femi Benussi 1975 Italy Duration: 1:38:02	A spate of highly sexualized murders is rocking a prestigious Milanese fashion house. Ambitious photographer Magda (Edwige Fenech) and her on-off boyfriend, love rat Carlo (Nino Castelnuovo), team up to crack the case. But, with the killer clearly bearing a grudge against the agency’s employees, it’s only a matter of time before they too end up feeling the force of his wrath. A Euro cult experience like no other—with kitschy fashion shoots, back-alley abortions, blow-up sex dolls, and some very indelicate humor—STRIP NUDE FOR YOUR KILLER blends bloody thrills with salacious soft-core antics for one of the most notoriously sleazy gialli ever produced.
	Stromboli Directed by Roberto Rossellini Starring Ingrid Bergman, Mario Vitale 1950 Italy Duration: 1:46:31	The first collaboration between Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman is a devastating portrait of a woman’s existential crisis, set against the beautiful and forbidding backdrop of a volcanic island. After World War II, a Lithuanian refugee (Bergman) marries a simple Italian fisherman (Mario Vitale) she meets in a prisoner of war camp and accompanies him back to his isolated village on an island off the coast of Sicily. Cut off from the world, she finds herself crumbling emotionally, but she is destined for a dramatic epiphany. Balancing the director’s trademark neorealism—exemplified here in a remarkable depiction of the fishermen’s lives and work—with deeply felt melodrama, STROMBOLI is a revelation.
	The Struggle for Survival Directed by Jean Painlevé 1937 France Duration: 14:11	On assignment for the mathematics department of le Palais de la Découverte, Jean Painlevé shot this film to be presented at the Paris museum’s 1937 international exhibition. THE STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL explores population rise and decline.
	The Student Nurses Directed by Stephanie Rothman Starring Elaine Giftos, Karen Carlson, Brioni Farrell 1970 United States Duration: 1:21:48	Stephanie Rothman initiated New World Pictures’ popular “nurses” cycle with this intriguing, fiercely feminist look at the myriad social issues shaping the 1970s cultural conversation. Centered on the turbulent professional and personal lives of four young women living together while training to become medical professionals, THE STUDENT NURSES delivers the softcore titillation demanded by its producers while touching on a host of hot-button topics—abortion, the women’s movement, immigrant rights, LSD, the Vietnam War—with an unapologetically progressive point of view.
	Successful Thawing of Mr. Moro Directed by Jerry Carlsson Starring Richard Sseruwagi, Doreen Ndagire, Lisette Pagler 2021 Sweden Duration: 14:08	When Mr. Moro finds out that his ex-partner Adrian, who has been cryogenically preserved for the past forty-three years, will be thawed and brought back to life, he must confront his complex feelings about a relationship he thought had ended long ago.

	The Suitor Directed by Pierre Etaix 1963 France Duration: 1:24:30	Pierre Etaix’s first feature introduces the droll humor and oddball charm of its unique writer-director-star. As a tribute to Buster Keaton, Etaix fashioned this lovable story of a privileged yet sheltered young man (played by Etaix himself, in a nearly silent performance) who, under pressure from his parents, sets out to find a young woman to marry—though he has a hard time tearing his mind away from the famous singer whose face decorates the walls of his bedroom.
	Summer Interlude Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Maj-Britt Nilsson, Birger Malmsten 1951 Sweden Duration: 1:36:14	Touching on many of the themes that would define the rest of his career—isolation, performance, the inescapability of the past— Ingmar Bergman’s tenth film was a gentle drift toward true mastery. Maj-Britt Nilsson beguiles as an accomplished ballet dancer haunted by her tragic youthful affair with a shy, handsome student (Birger Malmsten). Her memories of the sunny, rocky shores of Stockholm’s outer archipelago mingle with scenes from her gloomy present at the theater where she performs. A film that the director considered a creative turning point, SUMMER INTERLUDE is a reverie about life and death that unites Bergman’s love of theater and cinema.
	Summer of the Serpent Directed by Kimi Takesue Starring Joyce Perrone, Keiichi Kondoh, Sarah Zhang 2004 United States Duration: 27:09	Eight-year-old Juliette sits at the side of the local pool waiting for another lonely summer day to pass when a Japanese couple unexpectedly arrives.

	Summertime Directed by David Lean Starring Katharine Hepburn, Rossano Brazzi, Darren McGavin 1955 United States Duration: 1:40:41	With this sublimely bittersweet tale of romantic longing, director David Lean left behind the British soundstage to capture in radiant Technicolor the sun-splashed glory of Venice at the height of summer. In a tour de force of fearless vulnerability, Katharine Hepburn portrays the conflicting emotions that stir the heart of a lonely, middle-aged American tourist who is forced to confront her insecurities when she is drawn into a seemingly impossible affair with a charming Italian shopkeeper (Rossano Brazzi) amid the ancient city’s canals and piazzas. Lean’s personal favorite among his own films, SUMMERTIME is an exquisitely tender evocation of the magic and melancholy of a fleeting, not-quite-fairy-tale romance.
	Summer with Monika Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Harriet Andersson, Lars Ekborg 1953 Sweden Duration: 1:37:55	Inspired by the earthy eroticism of Harriet Andersson, in the first of her many roles for him, Ingmar Bergman had a major international breakthrough with this sensual and ultimately ravaging tale of young love. A girl (Andersson) and boy (Lars Ekborg) from working-class families in Stockholm run away from home to spend a secluded, romantic summer at the beach, far from parents and responsibilities. Inevitably, it is not long before the pair are forced to return to reality. The version initially released in the U.S. was reedited by its distributor into something more salacious, but the original SUMMER WITH MONIKA (SOMMAREN MED MONIKA), presented here, is a work of stunning maturity and one of Bergman’s most important films.
	Sunday in Peking Directed by Chris Marker 1956 France Duration: 19:42	A rare, tourist’s-eye glimpse into Maoist China, the first of Chris Marker’s inimitable travelogues is a colorful stroll through the city of Beijing set to the filmmaker’s personal reflections on its people, history, and culture.

	Supermarket Woman Directed by Juzo Itami Starring Masahiko Tsugawa, Nobuko Miyamoto, Ryunosuke Kaneda 1996 Japan Duration: 2:07:08	In this vibrant comedy, failing supermarket manager Goro (Masahiko Tsugawa) hires Hanako (Nobuko Miyamoto), an old classmate, to help him compete with the new rival grocery store in town. Soon, Hanako’s ideas and energy completely revitalize the store—but not without ruffling some feathers and sparking some romance along the way. Abetted by his magnetic leads, director Juzo Itami achieves an ebullient, pitch-perfect blend of slapstick farce, gentle human comedy, and insightful social observation.
	El Sur Directed by Víctor Erice Starring Sonsoles Aranguren, Omero Antonutti, Aurora Clément 1983 Spain Duration: 1:34:39	Ten years after making his mark on Spanish cinema with THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE, Víctor Erice returned to filmmaking with this adaptation of a novella by Adelaida García Morales, which deepens the director’s fascination with childhood, fantasy, and the legacy of his country’s civil war. In the North of Spain, Estrella grows up captivated by her father, a doctor with mystical powers—and by the enigma of his youth in the South, a near-mythical region whose secrets haunt Estrella more and more as time goes on. Though Erice’s original vision also encompassed a section set in the South itself, scenes that were never shot, EL SUR remains an experience of rare perfection and satisfaction, drawing on painterly cinematography by José Luis Alcaine to evoke the enchantments of memory and the inaccessible, inescapable mysteries of the past.

When doe-eyed American ballerina Suzy Bannion (Jessica Harper) arrives in Germany to study at a renowned dance academy, she stumbles through the looking glass into a maze of mayhem, murder, and maggots. It all takes place in one of film history’s most outlandish haunted houses: a riot of demonic neon lighting and surrealist-baroque décor complete with a barbed-wire room. Add the eardrum-shattering score by prog-occultists Goblin and you’ve got the most extravagant slasher movie of all time.
	Suzanne’s Career Directed by Eric Rohmer Starring Catherine Sée, Philippe Beuzen, Christian Charrière 1963 France Duration: 55:21	Bertrand bides his time in a casually hostile and envious friendship with Guillaume. But when Guillaume seems to be making a play for the spirited, independent Suzanne, Bertrand watches disapprovingly. With its ragged black-and-white 16 mm photography and strong sense of 1960s Paris, SUZANNE’S CAREER, the second of Eric Rohmer’s Six Moral Tales, is a wonderfully evocative portrait of youthful naivete and the complicated bonds of friendship and romance.

When Mitchell Stephens (Ian Holm), a big-city lawyer, arrives to organize a class-action lawsuit, his presence stirs up tensions within the town. Garnering Academy Award nominations for Egoyan for both best director and adapted screenplay, THE SWEET HEREAFTER is a powerful, deeply empathetic exploration of what it means to go on living in the face of tragedy.

In typical Carlos Saura fashion, the blurring of reality and fantasy is heightened as Juan simultaneously begins to fall in love with the actor (also Serna) playing his mother.
	Sweetie Directed by Jane Campion Starring Genevieve Lemon, Karen Colston, Tom Lycos 1989 New Zealand Duration: 1:39:46	Directed by Jane Campion • 1989 • New Zealand Starring Genevieve Lemon, Karen Colston, Tom Lycos Though she went on to create a string of brilliant films, Jane Campion will always be remembered for her stunning debut feature SWEETIE, which focuses on the hazardous relationship between the buttoned-down, superstitious Kay and her rampaging, devil-may-care sister, Sweetie, and on their family’s profoundly rotten roots. A feast of colorful photography and captivating, idiosyncratic characters, the tough and tender SWEETIE heralded the emergence of this gifted director, as well as a renaissance of Australian cinema, which would take the film world by storm in the nineties.
	Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song Directed by Melvin Van Peebles Starring Melvin Van Peebles, Simon Chuckster, Hubert Scales 1971 United States Duration: 1:38:02	A landmark of Black and American independent cinema that would send shock waves through the culture, SWEET SWEETBACK’S BAADASSSSS SONG was Melvin Van Peebles’s second feature film, after he walked away from a contract with Columbia in order to make his next film on his own terms. Acting as producer, director, writer, composer, editor, and star, Van Peebles created the prototype for what Hollywood would eventually co-opt and make into the blaxploitation hero: a taciturn, perpetually blank-faced performer in a sex show, who, when he’s pushed too far by a pair of racist cops looking to frame him for a crime he didn’t commit, goes on the run through a lawless underground of bikers, revolutionaries, sex workers, and hippies in a kill-or-be-killed quest for liberation from white oppression. SWEET SWEETBACK’S BAADASSSSS SONG’s incendiary politics are matched by Van Peebles’s revolutionary style, in which jagged jump cuts, kaleidoscopic superimpositions, and psychedelic sound design come together in a sustained howl of rage and defiance. This film contains scenes that depict sexual activity, including some involving underage participants. Viewer discretion is advised.

A couple enacts a breakup scenario over and over, a documentary crew films a crew filming the crew, locals wander casually into the frame: the project defies easy description. Yet this wildly innovative sixties counterculture landmark remains one of the most tightly focused and insightful movies ever made about making movies, expanded thirty-five years later by its unconventional follow-up, SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXIPLASM: TAKE 2½.

	Take Out Directed by Sean Baker and Shih-Ching Tsou Starring Charles Jang, Jeng-Hua Yu, Wang-Thye Lee 2004 United States Duration: 1:28:10	The American dream has rarely seemed so far away as in Sean Baker and Shih-Ching Tsou’s raw, vérité TAKE OUT, an immersion in the life of an undocumented Chinese immigrant struggling to get by on the margins of post-9/11 New York City. Facing violent retaliation from a loan shark, restaurant deliveryman Ming Ding has until nightfall to pay back the money he owes, and he encounters both crushing setbacks and moments of unexpected humanity as he races against time to earn enough in tips over the course of a frantic day. From this simple setup, Baker and Tsou fashion a kind of neorealist survival thriller of the everyday, shedding compassionate light on the too often overlooked lives and labor that keep New York running.
	The Taking of Power by Louis XIV Directed by Roberto Rossellini Starring Jean-Marie Patte, Raymond Jourdan 1966 Italy Duration: 1:34:32	Filmmaking legend Roberto Rossellini brings his passion for realism and unerring eye for the everyday to this portrait of the early years of the reign of France’s “Sun King,” and in the process reinvents the costume drama. The death of chief minister Cardinal Mazarin, the construction of the palace at Versailles, the extravagant meals of the royal court: all are recounted with the same meticulous quotidian detail that Rossellini brought to his contemporary portraits of postwar Italy. THE TAKING OF POWER BY LOUIS XIV dares to place a larger-than-life figure at the level of mere mortal.
	A Tale of Autumn Directed by Eric Rohmer Starring Marie Rivière, Béatrice Romand, Alain Libolt 1998 France Duration: 1:51:51	The concluding installment of the Tales of the Four Seasons tetralogy is a breezy take on the classic American romantic comedies that influenced Eric Rohmer and his New Wave peers. Set in the Rhône Valley and taking full advantage of its golden vineyards, A TALE OF AUTUMN concerns simultaneous schemes to find a new love for reserved winegrower and widow Magali (Béatrice Romand). While Magali’s son’s girlfriend (Alexia Portal) attempts to pair her with a former professor and lover (Didier Sandre), Magali’s friend Isabelle (Marie Rivière) assumes a false identity in order to lure eligible bachelor Gérald (Alain Libolt). The misunderstandings that follow are pure Rohmer in revealing the humor of human folly and foibles.
	A Tale of Springtime Directed by Eric Rohmer Starring Anne Teyssèdre, Hugues Quester, Florence Darel 1990 France Duration: 1:47:32	In the first film of Tales of the Four Seasons, a burgeoning friendship between philosophy teacher Jeanne (Anne Teyssèdre) and pianist Natacha (Florence Darel) is strained by jealousy, suspicion, and intrigue. Natacha encourages Jeanne to pursue the former’s father, Igor (Hugues Quester), in order to supplant Eve (Eloïse Bennett), the young girlfriend Natacha loathes. Natacha’s scheme, however, risks alienating those closest to her as well as entangling Jeanne in a romantic drama she has vowed to avoid. A TALE OF SPRINGTIME demonstrates Rohmer in full command of subtle visual storytelling as he contrasts the brightness of his characters’ Parisian and suburban surroundings with their conflicting desires, ideas, and temperaments.
	A Tale of Summer Directed by Eric Rohmer Starring Melvil Poupaud, Amanda Langlet, Gwenaëlle Simon 1996 France Duration: 1:54:35	According to Eric Rohmer, the third film of Tales of the Four Seasons is his “most personal vehicle.” Based on events from Rohmer’s youth, A TALE OF SUMMER follows amateur musician Gaspard (Melvil Poupaud) to a seaside resort in Dinard, on the coast of Brittany. There, each of three women (Amanda Langlet, Gwenaëlle Simon, and Aurelia Nolin) offers the possibility of romance, but Gaspard’s inability to commit to just one puts all of his chances at love in jeopardy. SUMMER features Rohmer’s wistful observations on indecisiveness and the fickle nature of desire, as brought to life by a talented young cast in a picturesque setting.
	A Tale of Winter Directed by Eric Rohmer Starring Charlotte Véry, Frédéric van den Driessche, Michel Voletti 1992 France Duration: 1:54:35	The second installment of Tales of the Four Seasons is among the most spiritual and emotional films of Eric Rohmer’s storied career. Five years after losing touch with Charles (Frédéric van den Driessche), the love of her life and the father of her young daughter, Félicie (Charlotte Véry) attempts to choose between librarian Loïc (Hervé Furic), who lives in the Parisian suburbs, and hairdresser Maxence (Michel Voletti), who has recently moved to Nevers. In the midst of indecision Félicie holds to an undying faith that a miracle will reunite her with Charles, a faith that Rohmer examines in all of its religious dimensions and philosophical ramifications.
	The Tale of Zatoichi Directed by Kenji Misumi 1962 Japan	The epic saga of Zatoichi begins. As tensions mount between rival yakuza clans, one boss hires a formidable but ailing ronin as his clan’s muscle, while the other employs a humble, moral blind masseur named Ichi. With its lightning-fast swordplay, sleight-of-hand dice games, and codes of honor upheld and betrayed, this first chapter sets the stage for all the ZATOICHI adventures to come. And Shintaro Katsu brings author Kan Shimozawa’s blind swordsman to vivid life, making the character excitingly, indelibly his own.
	The Tale of Zatoichi Continues Directed by Kazuo Mori 1962 Japan	THE TALE OF ZATOICHI proved so popular that a follow-up went into production the same year. Here, Zatoichi is hired to give a massage to a powerful political official who, he discovers, is mentally ill, a secret that the nobleman’s retinue is determined to keep at any cost. This second ZATOICHI film picks up the pace, featuring bigger action sequences, tighter plotting, and a mysterious one-armed swordsman played by star Shintaro Katsu’s brother Tomisaburo Wakayama (LONE WOLF AND CUB).
	Tales of a Golden Geisha Directed by Juzo Itami Starring Nobuko Miyamoto, Masahiko Tsugawa, Hiroshi Ohkochi 1990 Japan Duration: 1:58:50	This thorny sex satire stars the great Nobuko Miyamoto (star of nearly all of director Juzo Itami’s films) as Nayoko, a good-hearted geisha who brings luck to the men she sleeps with—even though most are scoundrels who don’t deserve it. Costarring another Itami regular, Masahiko Tsugawa, as Nayoko’s faithless playboy lover, TALES OF A GOLDEN GEISHA pulls off a tricky blend of humor and drama to comment pointedly on the skewed gender politics of Japanese society.
	Talking Heads Directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski 1980 Poland Duration: 15:00	Krzysztof Kieślowski made more than twenty documentaries, including the following short. In TALKING HEADS, Kieślowski poses the questions “What year were you born?” “Who are you?” and “What do you most wish for?” to forty different people, ranging from an infant to a one-hundred-year-old woman.
	Tall Time Tales Directed by Faith Hubley Starring Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan, Max Rosenthal 1992 United States Duration: 08:06	Faith Hubley explores the nature of time through a riot of colorfully surrealist visuals.
	Tampopo Directed by Juzo Itami Starring Tsutomu Yamazaki, Nobuko Miyamoto, Koji Yakusho 1985 Japan Duration: 1:54:33	Directed by Juzo Itami • 1985 • Japan Starring Tsutomu Yamazaki, Nobuko Miyamoto, Koji Yakusho The tale of an eccentric band of culinary ronin who guide the widow of a noodle-shop owner on her quest for the perfect recipe, this rapturous “ramen western” by Japanese director Juzo Itami is an entertaining, genre-bending adventure underpinned by a deft satire of the way social conventions distort the most natural of human urges, our appetites. Interspersing the efforts of Tampopo (Nobuko Miyamoto) and friends to make her café a success with the erotic exploits of a gastronome gangster and glimpses of food culture both high and low, the sweet, sexy, and surreal TAMPOPO is a lavishly inclusive paean to the sensual joys of nourishment, and one of the most mouthwatering examples of food on film ever made.

	Taste of Cherry Directed by Abbas Kiarostami Starring Homayoun Ershadi, Abdolrahman Bagheri, Afshin Khorshid Bakhtiari 1997 Iran Duration: 1:39:38	The first Iranian film to win the Palme d’Or, this austere, emotionally complex drama by the great Abbas Kiarostami follows the middle-aged Mr. Badii (Homayoun Ershadi) as he drives around the hilly outskirts of Tehran looking for someone who will agree to dispose of his body after he commits suicide, a taboo under Islam. Extended conversations with three passengers (a soldier, a seminarian, and a taxidermist) elicit different views of mortality and individual choice. Operating at once as a closely observed, realistic story and a fable populated by archetypal figures, TASTE OF CHERRY challenges the viewer to consider what often goes unexamined in everyday life.
	A Taste of Honey Directed by Tony Richardson Starring Rita Tushingham, Murray Melvin, Paul Danquah 1961 United Kingdom Duration: 1:40:53	The revolutionary British New Wave films of the early 1960s were celebrated for their uncompromising depictions of working-class lives and relations between the sexes. Directed by Tony Richardson, a leading light of that movement, and based on one of the most controversial plays of its time, A TASTE OF HONEY stars Rita Tushingham, in a star-making debut role, as a disaffected teenager finding her way amid the economic desperation of industrial Manchester, and despite an absent, self-absorbed mother. With its unapologetic identification with social outcasts and its sensitive, modern approach to matters of sexuality and race, Richardson's classic is a still startling benchmark work of realism.
	The Tattered Wings Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita 1955 Japan Duration: 1:39:53	First love is often hot and heavy, but short-lived. A woman endures the hardships of an abusive husband for too long, and when an old lover returns she begins to fan that flame. As things heat up between these childhood sweethearts, her family expresses their disapproval. Energized by the warmth of her former beau she considers setting her current relationship ablaze.
	Tattoo Directed by Farhad Delaram Starring Behdokht Valian, Alireza Sanifar, Anahita Eghbalnejad 2019 Iran Duration: 15:15	A young Iranian woman attempting to renew her driver’s license is plunged into a menacing bureaucratic limbo when officials begin questioning her about her tattoos.
	A Taxing Woman Directed by Juzo Itami Starring Nobuko Miyamoto, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Masahiko Tsugawa 1987 Japan Duration: 2:07:45	Certainly the most exuberantly entertaining film ever made about the intricacies of the Japanese tax system, this delightful comedy stars Nobuko Miyamoto as a fiercely dedicated tax collector who goes to elaborate lengths to nab a tax-evading hood (Tsutomu Yamazaki) operating a string of adult motels. Director Juzo Itami stages the ensuing battle of wills with breathless verve (and a dash of sex) while cleverly critiquing capitalist greed. The film’s success inspired both a video game and an equally inventive sequel.
	A Taxing Woman's Return Directed by Juzo Itami Starring Nobuko Miyamoto, Rentaro Mikuni, Masahiko Tsugawa 1988 Japan Duration: 2:08:26	Nobuko Miyamoto returns to the role of Ryoko Itakura, the tough-as-nails government tax investigator whom you most definitely don’t want to cross, in Juzo Itami’s energetic, genre-twisting follow-up to A TAXING WOMAN. Slightly darker in tone than the more comedic original, this outing finds the tenacious Ryoko deploying her skills in order to expose a fanatical religious cult lead by a corrupt sociopath (Rentaro Mikuni) concealing billions in illegal funds.
	Teeth Smile Directed by Roman Polanski 1957 Poland Duration: 01:57	In his autobiography, director Roman Polanski writes that the theme of TEETH SMILE was set for him by a supervisor at film school. The film follows a peeping tom as he looks through a bathroom window.
	The Tempest Directed by Derek Jarman Starring Peter Bull, David Meyer, Neil Cunningham 1979 United Kingdom Duration: 1:35:21	Derek Jarman transforms William Shakespeare’s final great play—about the magician Prospero (Heathcote Williams), who lives on an enchanted island with his daughter, Miranda (Toyah Willcox), and exacts revenge on his shipwrecked enemies—into an original and dazzling spectacle, mixing Hollywood pastiche, high camp, and gothic horror. Shot on location at the ancient and ghostly Stoneleigh Abbey, THE TEMPEST channels the innocent homoeroticism of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s versions of classics, while its lush sense of decor and color worthy of Vincente Minnelli. Jarman’s master stroke is the finale, a wedding feast designed and choreographed as a full-scale production number, with the veteran musical-comedy star Elisabeth Welch wafting her way through a chorus line of hunky sailors as she belts out “Stormy Weather.”
	Les temps morts Directed by René Laloux 1965 France Duration: 09:56	FANTASTIC PLANET was not the first collaboration between writer-director René Laloux and illustrator Roland Topor. Presented here is a short film they made together in the mid-1960s: LES TEMPS MORTS.

	Tenebrae Directed by Dario Argento Starring Anthony Franciosa, John Saxon, Daria Nicolodi 1982 Italy Duration: 1:41:08	Dario Argento raises the giallo genre to new heights with this darkly humorous and notoriously grisly murder mystery, widely considered one of his finest works. American mystery author Peter Neal (Anthony Franciosa) comes to Italy to promote his newest novel. Unfortunately, a razor-wielding serial killer is on the loose, taunting Neal and murdering those around him in gruesome fashion just like the character in his book. As the mystery surrounding the killings spirals out of control, Neal investigates the crimes on his own, leading to a mind-bending, genre-twisting conclusion. Former Goblin members Claudio Simonetti, Fabio Pignatelli, and Massimo Morante contributed the incredible synth score.
	Teorema Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini Starring Terence Stamp, Silvana Mangano, Massimo Girotti 1968 Italy Duration: 1:38:45	One of the iconoclastic Pier Paolo Pasolini’s most radical provocations finds the auteur moving beyond the poetic, proletarian earthiness that first won him renown and notoriety with a coolly cryptic exploration of bourgeois spiritual emptiness. Terence Stamp stars as the mysterious stranger—perhaps an angel, perhaps a devil—who, one by one, seduces the members of a wealthy Milanese family (including European cinema icons Silvana Mangano, Massimo Girotti, Laura Betti, and Anne Wiazemsky), precipitating an existential crisis in each of their lives. Unfolding nearly wordlessly in a procession of sacred and profane images, this tantalizing metaphysical riddle—blocked from exhibition by the Catholic Church for degeneracy—is at once a blistering Marxist treatise on sex, religion, and art and a primal scream into the void.
	Terri Directed by Azazel Jacobs Starring John C. Reilly, Jacob Wysocki, Bridger Zadina 2011 United States Duration: 1:45:13	This refreshingly authentic, wonderfully funny coming-of-age portrait sidesteps genre cliches to show the experience of misfit youth in its full, complicated humanity. Terri (Jacob Wysocki) is an overweight fifteen-year-old facing bullying at school and challenges at home. When his struggles come to the attention of a caring vice principal (John C. Reilly), Terri’s life begins to gradually change as he forges tentative connections with those around him. Built around superb performances from Reilly and newcomer Wysocki, TERRI offers an unsentimental and emotionally layered look at what it means to grow up different.
	Terror of Mechagodzilla Directed by Ishiro Honda 1975 Japan Duration: 1:23:40	In Godzilla’s last gasp of the Showa era, aliens retrieve Mechagodzilla’s remains and rebuild it with the aid of an unhinged biologist (a scenery-chewing Akihiko Hirata), in hopes of defeating Godzilla for possession of planet Earth. This film marked the return of director Ishiro Honda, who had retired years earlier, disheartened by the increasingly kid-friendly approach of the series. For this final entry, Honda steers the King of the Monsters back into grim territory, interweaving an alien-invasion plot with a tale of tragic romance.
	Tess Directed by Roman Polanski Starring Nastassja Kinski, Peter Firth, Leigh Lawson 1979 United Kingdom Duration: 2:51:35	This multiple-Oscar-winning film by Roman Polanski is an exquisite, richly layered adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s “Tess of the d’Urbervilles.” A strong-willed peasant girl (Nastassja Kinski, in a gorgeous breakthrough) is sent by her father to the estate of some local aristocrats to capitalize on a rumor that their families are from the same line. This fateful visit commences an epic narrative of sex, class, betrayal, and revenge, which Polanski unfolds with deliberation and finesse. With its earthy visual textures, achieved by two world-class cinematographers—Geoffrey Unsworth (CABARET) and Ghislain Cloquet (AU HASARD BALTHAZAR)—TESS is a work of great pastoral beauty as well as vivid storytelling.
	The Testament of Dr. Mabuse Directed by Fritz Lang Starring Rudolf Klein-Rogge, Otto Wernicke, Oskar Beregi, Sr. 1933 Germany Duration: 2:01:04	Locked away in an asylum for a decade and teetering between life and death, the criminal mastermind Doctor Mabuse (Rudolf Klein-Rogge) has scribbled his last will and testament: a manifesto establishing a future empire of crime. When the document’s nefarious writings start leading to terrifying parallels in reality, it’s up to Berlin’s star detective, Inspector Lohmann (Otto Wernicke, reprising his role from M) to connect the most fragmented, maddening clues in a case unlike any other. A sequel to his enormously successful silent film DR. MABUSE: THE GAMBLER, Fritz Lang’s THE TESTAMENT OF DR. MABUSE reunites the director with the character that had effectively launched his career. Lang put slogans and ideas expounded by the Nazis into the mouth of a madman, warning his audience of an imminent menace, which was soon to become a reality. Nazi Minister of Information Joseph Goebbels saw the film as an instruction manual for terrorist action against the government and banned it for “endangering public order and security.” A landmark of mystery and suspense for countless espionage and noir thrillers to come, this is the complete, uncut original director’s version in a stunning new transfer.
	Testament of Orpheus Directed by Jean Cocteau Starring Jean Cocteau, Edouard Dermithe, Henri Crémieux 1959 France Duration: 1:20:28	In his last film, legendary writer/artist/filmmaker Jean Cocteau portrays an eighteenth-century poet who travels through time on a quest for divine wisdom. In a mysterious wasteland, he meets several symbolic phantoms that bring about his death and resurrection. With an eclectic cast that includes Pablo Picasso, Jean-Pierre Leáud, Jean Marais, and Yul Brynner, TESTAMENT OF ORPHEUS brings full circle the journey Cocteau began in THE BLOOD OF A POET, an exploration of the torturous relationship between the artist and his creations.
	A Test of Violence Directed by Stuart Cooper 1969 United Kingdom Duration: 14:25	In 1969, Stuart Cooper made this short film about the work of Spanish artist Juan Genovés, whose paintings depict the horror of oppression and brutality. It won prizes at the Berlin, Moscow, and Venice film festivals. It also caught the attention of James Quinn of the Imperial War Museum, which ultimately led to Cooper’s directing OVERLORD.
	La tête d’un homme Directed by Julien Duvivier 1933 France Duration: 1:32:48	This meticulously crafted adaptation stars Harry Baur as novelist Georges Simenon's indelible creation Inspector Maigret, investigating the odd circumstances surrounding the killing of a wealthy American woman in Paris. Every bit Baur's equal is the Russian émigré actor Valeéry Inkijinoff, cast as a reptilian, nihilistic medical student. Julien Duvivier gives the viewer one evocative image after another, constructing a work of sinister beauty.
	Tetsuo: The Iron Man Directed by Shinya Tsukamoto Starring Tomorowo Taguchi, Kei Fujiwara, Nobu Kanaoka 1989 Japan Duration: 1:07:17	An ordinary Japanese salaryman undergoes a shocking metamorphosis in Shinya Tsukamoto’s legendary fusion of body horror and cyberpunk expressionism. A strange man known only as the “metal fetishist” (played by the director)—who is driven by an insane compulsion to pierce his body with scrap metal—is hit and possibly killed by an office worker (Tomoro Taguchi) out for a drive with his girlfriend (Kei Fujiwara). Soon, the salaryman realizes that he is being overtaken by some kind of disease that is turning his body into scrap metal, and that his nemesis is not in fact dead but is somehow masterminding his rage and frustration-fueled transformation.
	TGM the Liberator Directed by Věra Chytilová 1990 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:03:39	Věra Chytilová employs a mix of photographs, archival footage, and reenactment to tell the story of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the Czechoslovak politician, sociologist, and philosopher who served as the first elected president of Czechoslovakia following the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918. Made in the wake of the 1989 Velvet Revolution that brought about the end of one-party communist rule in Czechoslovakia, TGM THE LIBERATOR pays tribute to a national icon who has come to represent the highest ideals of democracy.
	Thailand Moment Directed by Les Blank and Skip Gerson 2015 United States Duration: 11:33	One of Les Blank’s earliest independent films is an impressionistic travelogue—featuring beautiful color cinematography—of a 1967 trip to Thailand, shot largely in and around Bangkok. The film was put aside and completed after Blank’s death by his collaborators.
	Thank You and Good Night Directed by Jan Oxenberg 1991 United States Duration: 1:18:04	A lost-and-found revelation from indie film and TV maverick Jan Oxenberg is a docu-fantasy narrative focused on the filmmaker’s hilarious, messy, Jewish family as they prepare to say goodbye to someone they love. Narrated by a cardboard cutout of Oxenberg’s scowling child self, THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT takes us on a journey through the proceedings, attempting to defeat death and never say goodbye. An early Sundance hit but virtually unseen for decades, the film reemerges as a singular, uncategorizable exploration of the meaning of life, death, and the tangled stuff that is a family. In this poignant, hilarious, and complex reflection on letting go, Oxenberg innovatively transforms personal tragedy into universally resonant art that is now claiming its rightful place as a classic of independent cinema.
	That Hamilton Woman Directed by Alexander Korda Starring Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier 1941 United Kingdom Duration: 2:05:39	One of cinema’s most dashing duos, real-life spouses Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier live their greatest on-screen romance in this visually dazzling tragic love story from legendary producer-director Alexander Korda. Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars of the late eighteenth century, THAT HAMILTON WOMAN is a gripping account of the scandalous adulterous affair between the British Royal Navy officer Lord Horatio Nelson and the renowned beauty Emma, Lady Hamilton, the wife of a British ambassador. With its grandly designed sea battles and formidable star performances, THAT HAMILTON WOMAN (Winston Churchill’s favorite movie, which he claimed to have seen over eighty times) brings history to vivid, glamorous life.
	That Night’s Wife Directed by Yasujiro Ozu 1930 Japan Duration: 1:05:51	In noirish darkness, a man commits a shocking robbery. But, as we soon learn, this seeming criminal mastermind is actually a sensitive everyman driven to desperation by the need to provide for his family. Unfolding over the course of one night, Yasujiro Ozu's That Night's Wife combines suspense with the emotional domestic drama one associates with the filmmaker's later masterpieces, and employs beautifully evocative camera work.
	That's Him Directed by Gilbert Pratt Starring Harold Lloyd, Snub Pollard, Bebe Daniels 1918 United States Duration: 11:08	A newlywed husband, en route to his honeymoon, scrambles to find the train tickets he lost. Please be advised: this film contains scenes involving blackface.
	The Big Clock Directed by John Farrow Starring Ray Milland, Charles Laughton, Maureen O’Sullivan 1948 United States Duration: 1:35:29	One of the finest suspense thrillers of the 1940s, THE BIG CLOCK stars Ray Milland as a hapless crime-magazine editor plunged into a web of danger when he begins being systematically framed for murder by his megalomaniac boss (played by a marvelously menacing, mustachioed Charles Laughton). Based on the classic noir novel by Kenneth Fearing, this ingeniously plotted twist on the wrong-man mystery boasts a striking visual design that turns a sleek Manhattan office building into a labyrinth of paranoia.
	The Big Lebowski Directed by Joel Coen Starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore 1998 Duration: 1:57:15	With its ultraquotable dialogue and unforgettable characters who have imprinted themselves onto pop culture, this outrageously entertaining comedy has taken its place as one of the definitive cult classics of the slacker ’90s. Jeff Bridges is iconically laconic as Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski, who, when he is mistaken for a millionaire of the same name and menaced by a band of porn-industry thugs, finds himself pulled—along with his bowling buddies—into a bizarre web of crime and mystery.

	The Company of Wolves Directed by Neil Jordan Starring Angela Lansbury, Sarah Patterson, David Warner 1984 United Kingdom Duration: 1:35:21	Adapted from a story by Angela Carter (who cowrote the script), Neil Jordan’s bewitching feminist fairy tale brings “Little Red Riding Hood” and werewolf fables together to haunting effect. A wise grandmother (Angela Lansbury) tells her granddaughter Rosaleen (Sarah Patterson) disturbing tales of innocent maidens falling in love with handsome strangers, of beasts that roam the woods, and of mysterious disappearances that occur when the moon is full. As dreams and stories intertwine, Rosaleen finds herself drawn into a mythic realm as seductive as it is dangerous.
	The Curse of the Werewolf Directed by Terence Fisher Starring Oliver Reed, Clifford Evans, Catherine Feller 1961 United Kingdom Duration: 1:32:50	Having found success with their gothic reimaginings of classic movie monsters like Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Mummy, Britain’s legendary Hammer studios embarked on their one and only foray into the werewolf film—and the result is one of their darkest and most emotionally charged achievements. In his first starring role, Oliver Reed plays Leon, the savage offspring of a mute servant girl and a bestial madman whose troubled upbringing is marked by violent episodes that occur during the full moon. Upon adulthood, Leon’s only relief from his murderous impulses comes from the love of Cristina (Catherine Feller), but he soon begins to fear that even this cannot contain the beast within.
	The Fog Directed by John Carpenter Starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Adrienne Barbeau, Tom Atkins 1980 United States Duration: 1:30:00	Long-buried secrets come back to haunt a small town in this triumph of atmosphere and creeping unease from genre great John Carpenter. Drawing inspiration from the moody masterworks of Val Lewton and the hushed dread of classic ghost stories, THE FOG unfolds in the quiet coastal town of Antonio Bay in Northern California, where, as residents prepare to celebrate the village’s centenary, they find themselves terrorized by a series of increasingly strange and disturbing occurrences. Could the mysterious glowing fog enveloping the town really be retribution for the unspeakable events of a century ago?
	The Girl Who Knew Too Much Directed by Mario Bava Starring John Saxon, Letícia Román, Valentina Cortese 1963 Italy Duration: 1:32:19	Often cited as the first giallo film, Mario Bava’s twisty thriller (also known as THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCH) takes what could have been a mere Hitchcock homage and turns it into a virtuoso exercise in pure style, distinguished by striking, shadow-laced black-and-white cinematography. While traveling through Rome, American tourist Nora Davis (Letícia Román) witnesses a murder that she comes to believe is linked to a string of serial killings being committed in alphabetical order of the victims’ last names. Surprise, surprise—the police don’t believe her. A, B, C . . . D for Death? Could Nora be next? As the danger mounts, she’ll have to turn amateur sleuth in order to save her own life.
	The GoodTimesKid Directed by Azazel Jacobs Starring Azazel Jacobs, Gerardo Naranjo, Diaz 2005 United States Duration: 1:13:00	A story about stolen love and stolen identities, literally shot on stolen film, writer-director Azazel Jacobs’s second feature is an absurdist comedy of errors, a punk-rock slice of DIY rebellion, and a warmhearted frolic wherein hot-tempered Echo Park slacker Rodolfo Cano (Jacobs) enlists in the army to escape a meaningless existence with his free-spirited girlfriend (Diaz). When his call-for-service letter somehow winds up in the hands of another Rodolfo Cano (Gerardo Naranjo), a quietly dignified loner who lives on a sailboat, their three lives intersect in odd and beautifully unexpected ways.

Jewel smuggler Sheila Bennet (Evelyn Keyes) returns to New York from Cuba with $40,000 in stolen diamonds, as well as something even worse—a deadly case of smallpox.

	The King of Comedy Directed by Martin Scorsese Starring Robert De Niro, Jerry Lewis, Sandra Bernhard 1982 United States Duration: 1:48:51	Welcome to the disturbing world of Rupert Pupkin (Robert De Niro), the psychotic aspiring comedian who believes that all he needs is one appearance on the late-night talk show hosted by Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis) to propel him to superstardom. After one rejection too many, the increasingly unhinged Pupkin takes matters into his own hands with a crazed scheme to land him the TV appearance of his dreams. Alternating between a flatly lit TV look for reality and a bizarre vision of Rupert’s fantasy world, Martin Scorsese’s brilliantly unsettling black comedy is a biting satire of stardom and media obsession that has only grown more relevant with time.
	The Light That Failed Directed by William A. Wellman Starring Ida Lupino, Ronald Colman, Walter Huston 1939 United States Duration: 1:38:53	Based on the novel by Rudyard Kipling, this handsomely mounted, movingly melancholy adaptation features a sterling performance from Ronald Colman as soldier-turned-artist Dick Heldar, who struggles to complete his final painting—a portrait of London streetwalker Bessie Broke (Ida Lupino)—before he goes blind. Lupino, who personally lobbied director William Wellman for the role of the guttersnipe Cockney model, shines in one of the first performances that won her attention as a serious dramatic actress.
	The Linguini Incident Directed by Richard Shepard Starring David Bowie, Rosanna Arquette, Marlee Matlin 1991 United States Duration: 1:32:38	A brilliantly bizarro, lost-and-found gem of early-1990s independent cinema, this surreal screwball caper casts none other than David Bowie and Rosanna Arquette as Monte and Lucy, a pair of servers at a terminally hip New York City restaurant—he’s a Brit desperate for an American wife so he can get his green card, she’s a wannabe escape artist à la Houdini—whose scheme to rob their employers leads to all sorts of delightful complications. Costarring Eszter Balint (STRANGER THAN PARADISE), Andre Gregory, Buck Henry, and Marlee Matlin, THE LINGUINI INCIDENT, long almost impossible to see, reemerges in a new director’s cut as an offbeat treat—an engagingly out-there, tonally singular comedy whose moment for cult adoration has arrived.
	The Maltese Falcon Directed by John Huston Starring Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, Mary Astor 1941 United States Duration: 1:40:34	A cinematic landmark for a number of reasons—it was the first film directed by John Huston, the film that launched Humphrey Bogart to stardom, and one of the first true noirs—this breathlessly entertaining, intricately plotted adaptation of the novel by Dashiell Hammett casts Bogart as the tough San Francisco detective Sam Spade, who, when he takes on the case of a woman (Mary Astor) who claims to be searching for her missing sister, finds himself involved with a deadly band of international thieves who will lie, double-cross, and murder to obtain a small, jewel-encrusted statue known as the Maltese Falcon.
	The Old Sorceress and the Valet Directed by Julius-Amédée Laou Starring Jenny Alpha, Robert Liensol 1987 France Duration: 1:21:53	Suffused with a sense of dreamlike, magical unreality, Julius-Amédée Laou’s singular, strikingly shot debut feature peers into the relationship between an elderly West Indian couple (Jenny Alpha and Robert Liensol) who have been living in Paris since 1921. Over the course of a long, rambling walk through the city, they bicker, reminisce, and reflect on their lives spent in service of white people: he as a servant, she as a practitioner of black magic for white clients. What emerges is an alternately wounding, tender, and trenchantly funny meditation on the diasporic experience.
	Theory of Achievement Directed by Hal Hartley Starring Bob Gosse, Jessica Sager, Jeffrey Howard 1991 United States Duration: 17:50	Young, middle-class, white, college-educated, unskilled, broke, drunk.

	The People vs. Larry Flynt Directed by Miloš Forman Starring Woody Harrelson, Courtney Love, Edward Norton 1996 United States Duration: 2:09:37	Director Miloš Forman brings his slyly subversive sensibility to this wickedly entertaining, stranger-than-fiction look at one man’s notorious public persona and unconventional private life. Woody Harrelson stars as Larry Flynt, the small-time strip-club owner who created a publishing empire with his raw and raunchy “Hustler” magazine. The grade-school dropout became a blue-collar Hugh Hefner, marrying exotic dancer Althea Leasure (Courtney Love) and settling into a twenty-four-room mansion. But Hustler pushed the limits of American tolerance, and Flynt attracted enemies like a magnet. Arrested for obscenity and constantly harassed, he began an arduous fight against the rising tide of censorship and the emerging radical religious right.
	There Was a Father Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Starring Chishu Ryu, Haruhiko Tsugawa, Shuji Sano 1942 Japan Duration: 1:27:12	Yasujiro Ozu’s frequent leading man Chishu Ryu is riveting as Shuhei, a widowed high school teacher who finds that the more he tries to do what is best for his son’s future, the more they are separated. Though primarily a delicately wrought story of parental love, THERE WAS A FATHER offers themes of sacrifice that were deemed appropriately patriotic by Japanese censors at the time of its release during World War II, making it a uniquely political film in Ozu’s body of work.
	These Boots Directed by Aki Kaurismäki 1993 Finland Duration: 05:08	The music video for 'These Boots' by the Leningrad Cowboys.
	The Sleepy Time Gal Directed by Christopher Munch Starring Jacqueline Bisset, Martha Plimpton, Nick Stahl 2001 United States Duration: 1:34:39	A long-overlooked gem of American independent cinema, this delicate character study from writer-director Christopher Munch features a luminous performance from Jacqueline Bisset as a cancer patient confronting her mortality. Seeking to make sense of a life tinged with regret, she embarks on a journey across America that brings her in touch with those she loved and lost over the course of her existence. A probing, unusually unsentimental consideration of what it means to face death, THE SLEEPY TIME GAL forgoes comforting clichés in favor of something far more truthful and uncompromisingly open-ended.
	The Solitude of Memory Directed by Juan Pablo González 2014 Mexico Duration: 19:17	Through a dialogue between its formal elements and its characters, THE SOLITUDE OF MEMORY unfolds as a profound meditation on memory and grief as a father repeatedly recalls the last words that he spoke to his son before the young man took his own life.

When Rita’s rage cannot be contained any longer, a supernatural power inside of her takes over—and those who tormented her begin to die.

	The Wailing Directed by Na Hong-jin Starring Chun Woo-hee, Hwang Jung-min, Kwak Do-won 2016 South Korea Duration: 2:36:19	In this unrelentingly tense supernatural thriller, a foreigner’s mysterious appearance in a quiet, rural village unleashes a wave of suspicion among the locals—a gathering mistrust that quickly turns to hysteria as the townspeople begin killing each other in brutal, seemingly senseless outbursts. As the investigating officer (Kwak Do-won) watches his daughter fall under the same savage spell, he agrees to consult a shaman (Hwang Jung-min) for answers—unknowingly escalating the situation into something far more dangerous. Director Na Hong-jin’s meticulously crafted follow-up to the globally acclaimed THE YELLOW SEA is a dread-inducing tour de force of mood that pushes the unrestrained genre-bending that South Korean cinema is known for to delirious heights.
	They Call Me Bruce Directed by Elliott Hong Starring Johnny Yune, John Louie, Bill Capizzi 1982 United States Duration: 1:26:54	This unabashedly goofball martial-arts spoof gave an Asian American comedian a rare chance in the spotlight.

When the gangsters he works for recruit him to transport (unbeknownst to him) a cargo of cocaine across the country, the hapless Bruce is launched on an epic misadventure in which he’ll have to channel his legendary namesake in order to survive.
	They Drive by Night Directed by Raoul Walsh Starring George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino 1940 United States Duration: 1:35:04	Humphrey Bogart and George Raft share a driving ambition in this feisty tale of brothers trying to make a go of their independent trucking enterprise. After ten years of the Great Depression, scrappy Joe (Raft) and Paul Fabrini (Bogart) are still—just barely—in business. Paul dreams of spending more time with his wife, while Joe has his eye on truck-stop waitress Cassie Hartley (Ann Sheridan). Trouble ensues when Paul loses an arm in an accident and can no longer drive, while Joe gets mixed up in a murderous entanglement with the wife (Ida Lupino) of his main rival. Lupino’s courtroom scene of babbling derangement made her an overnight sensation and landed her a seven-year studio contract.
	The Thick-Walled Room Directed by Masaki Kobayashi 1956 Japan Duration: 1:50:17	Even early on in his directing career, Masaki Kobayashi didn't shy away from controversy. Among the first Japanese films to deal directly with the scars of World War II, this drama about a group of rank-and-file Japanese soldiers jailed for crimes against humanity was adapted from the diaries of real prisoners. Because of its potentially inflammatory content, the film was shelved by the studio for three years before being released.

With its luscious Technicolor, vivid sets, and unprecedented visual wonders, THE THIEF OF BAGDAD has charmed viewers of all ages for decades.
	The Thin Blue Line Directed by Errol Morris 1988 United States Duration: 1:41:45	Among the most important documentaries ever made, The Thin Blue Line, by Errol Morris, erases the border between art and activism. A work of meticulous journalism and gripping drama, it recounts the disturbing tale of Randall Dale Adams, a drifter who was charged with the murder of a Dallas police officer and sent to death row, despite evidence that he did not commit the crime. Incorporating stylized reenactments, penetrating interviews, and haunting original music by Philip Glass, Morris uses cinema to build a case forensically while effortlessly entertaining his viewers. The Thin Blue Line effected real-world change, proving film's power beyond the shadow of a doubt.
	Things to Come Directed by William Cameron Menzies Starring Raymond Massey, Ralph Richardson, Cedrick Hardwicke 1936 United Kingdom Duration: 1:37:05	A landmark collaboration between writer H. G. Wells, producer Alexander Korda, and designer and director William Cameron Menzies, THINGS TO COME is a science fiction film like no other, a prescient political work that predicts a century of turmoil and progress. Skipping through time, THINGS TO COME bears witness to world war, disease, dictatorship, and, finally, utopia. Conceived, written, and overseen by Wells himself as an adaptation of his own work, this megabudget production, the most ambitious ever from Korda’s London Films, is a triumph of imagination and technical audacity.
	The Third Generation Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder Starring Harry Baer, Hark Bohm, Margit Carstensen 1979 West Germany Duration: 1:49:42	Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s follow-up to his international breakthrough THE MARRIAGE OF MARIA BRAUN is a wildly anarchic satire of guerrilla terrorism in which a band of leftist radicals inadvertently become puppets of the West German government, which uses them to justify its authoritarian policies. Taking aim at the entire spectrum of political ideologies, THE THIRD GENERATION stands as one of Fassbinder’s most provocative and explosively controversial explorations of power and control.
	The Third Shadow Warrior Directed by Umetsugu Inoue Starring Raizo Ichikawa, Hizuro Takachiho, Masayo Banri 1963 Japan Duration: 1:44:08	Despite its sixteenth-century setting, this thrilling saga of identity, doubles, and deception has a lot to say about modern Japan and issues of class, caste systems, and their toll on the people trapped within them. Based on a novel by leftist author Norio Nanjo, THE THIRD SHADOW WARRIOR weaves the twisty tale of Kyonosuke Ninomiya (Raizo Ichikawa), a young peasant whose dreams of becoming a samurai seemingly come true when he is recruited to serve as a lookalike decoy for a merciless warlord. But rather than the glory he envisioned, Ninomiya is thrust into a vicious power struggle and a nightmarish identity crisis from which there may be no escape.
	Thirst Directed by Ingmar Bergman 1949 Sweden Duration: 1:25:00	A couple traveling across a war-ravaged Europe. A disintegrating marriage. A ballet dancer's scarred past.

	Thirst for Love Directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara 1967 Japan Duration: 1:39:09	Koreyoshi Kurahara adapted a novel by Yukio Mishima for Thirst for Love (Ai no kawaki), a tense psychological drama about a young woman who is widowed after marrying into a wealthy family, and becomes sexually involved with her father-in-law, while harboring a destructive obsession with the family gardener. Kurahara's atmospheric style is a perfect match for Mishima's brooding sensuality.
	This Ain’t No Mouse Music Directed by Chris Simon and Maureen Gosling 2013 Duration: 1:32:22	THIS AIN’T NO MOUSE MUSIC! is a vivid portrait of Chris Strachwitz, the obsessive sonic sleuth who founded the legendary music label Arhoolie Records to bring blues, Cajun, Tejano, zydeco, folk, and other forms of American roots music to the world. Taking a hip-shaking stroll from New Orleans to Appalachia, filmmakers Chris Simon and Maureen Gosling come face-to-face with the creators of indigenous music, including King of Zydeco Clifton Chenier, fiddler Michael Doucet, Norteño great Flaco Jiménez, and Cajun outfit the Pine Leaf Boys. Their music is now highly endangered by the merciless steamroller of pop culture, assimilation, and commercialism, which makes Strachwitz’s quest to track down and preserve these artists all the more urgent.
	This Happy Breed Directed by David Lean Starring Robert Newton, Celia Johnson 1944 United Kingdom Duration: 1:51:09	David Lean brings to vivid emotional life Noël Coward’s epic chronicle of a working-class family in the London suburbs over the course of two decades. Robert Newton and Celia Johnson are surpassingly affecting as Frank and Ethel Gibbons, a couple with three children whose modest household is touched by joy and tragedy from the tail end of the First World War to the beginning of the Second. With its mix of politics and melodrama, THIS HAPPY BREED is a quintessential British domestic drama, featuring subtly expressive Technicolor cinematography by Ronald Neame and a remarkable supporting cast including John Mills, Stanley Holloway, and Kay Walsh.

When plans for a new dam near her village in the landlocked kingdom of Lesotho threaten to literally wash away all she holds dear, Mantoa takes a last stand, mobilizing her neighbors to fight for their land and their way of life. The experience of watching Mosese’s visionary, much-lauded THIS IS NOT A BURIAL, IT’S A RESURRECTION is as timeless and elemental as the land itself.

First, a museum worker crosses into the world within a painting in “In the Picture,” evocatively directed by Wendy Toye, one of Britain’s few female filmmakers of the period. Then, two friends become suspects in the murder of the woman they both love in David Eady’s whodunit “You Killed Elizabeth.” And finally, a typically commanding Orson Welles stars in (and reportedly largely directed) George More O’Ferrall’s “Lord Mountdrago,” in which one man uses the dreams of another in his twisted plot for revenge.
	Three Colors: Blue Directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski Starring Juliette Binoche, Benoit Régent 1993 France Duration: 1:38:52	In the devastating first film of the Three Colors trilogy, Juliette Binoche gives a tour de force performance as Julie, a woman reeling from the tragic death of her husband and young daughter.

Shot in sapphire tones by Sławomir Idziak, and set to an extraordinary operatic score by Zbigniew Preisner, BLUE is an overwhelming sensory experience.

	Three Colors: White Directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski Starring Julie Delpy, Zbigniew Zamachowski 1994 Poland Duration: 1:32:06	The most playful and also the grittiest of Kieślowski’s Three Colors films follows the adventures of Karol Karol (Zbigniew Zamachowski), a Polish immigrant living in France. The hapless hairdresser opts to leave Paris for his native Warsaw when his wife (Julie Delpy) sues him for divorce (her reason: their marriage was never consummated) and then frames him for arson after setting her own salon ablaze. WHITE, which goes on to chronicle Karol Karol’s elaborate revenge plot, manages to be both a ticklish dark comedy about the economic inequalities of Eastern and Western Europe and a sublime reverie about twisted love.
	Three Daughters Directed by Satyajit Ray Starring Soumitra Chatterjee, Chandana Banerjee, Kali Banerjee 1961 India Duration: 2:40:05	For this masterful anthology film—made to honor the centenary of Bengali cultural luminary Rabindranath Tagore—Satyajit Ray adapted three stories by the celebrated writer, each centered around a defining moment in the life of a young woman. Though narratively and tonally distinct, the films—the first a wrenching tale of unrequited love, the second an atmospheric supernatural fable, the third a lighthearted romantic comedy—are united by their sensitivity to the experiences of women constrained by a patriarchal society. The film is presented in standard definition in the best available master.
	Three Outlaw Samurai Directed by Hideo Gosha Starring Tetsuro Tamba, Isamu Nagato, Mikijiro Hira 1964 Japan Duration: 1:33:58	This first feature by the legendary Hideo Gosha is among the most beloved chanbara (sword-fighting) films.

A wandering, seen-it-all ronin (Tetsuro Tamba) becomes entangled in the dangerous business of two other samurai (Isamu Nagato and Mikijiro Hira), hired to execute a band of peasants who have kidnapped the daughter of a corrupt magistrate. With remarkable storytelling economy and thrilling action scenes, this is an expertly mounted tale of revenge and loyalty.

W. Pabst (PANDORA’S BOX) in this classic adaptation of the Weimar-era theatrical sensation. Set in the impoverished back alleys of Victorian London, THE THREEPENNY OPERA follows underworld antihero Mackie Messer (a.k.a. Mack the Knife) as he tries to woo Polly Peachum and elude the authorities.

It is presented here in both its celebrated German and rare French versions.

	Three Wishes for Cinderella Directed by Václav Vorlíček Starring Libuše Šafránková, Pavel Trávníček, Carola Braunbock 1973 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:28:19	This enchanting Czech Christmas classic has become a Central European yuletide staple thanks to its perennial presence on television each holiday season. A charming, spirited twist on the classic fairy tale, THREE WISHES FOR CINDERELLA updates the beloved story with a picturesque, woodsy wintertime setting and a refreshingly sharp-witted, assertive heroine (Libuše Šafránková), a housemaid who uses her wits and many talents—along with a bit of help from some magical hazelnuts—to win her prince and find her happily ever after.
	Throne of Blood Directed by Akira Kurosawa Starring Toshiro Mifune, Isuzu Yamada, Minoru Chiaki 1957 Japan Duration: 1:49:51	A vivid, visceral “Macbeth” adaptation, THRONE OF BLOOD, directed by Akira Kurosawa, sets Shakespeare’s definitive tale of ambition and duplicity in a ghostly, fog-enshrouded landscape in feudal Japan. As a hardened warrior who rises savagely to power, Toshiro Mifune gives a remarkable, animalistic performance, as does Isuzu Yamada as his ruthless wife. THRONE OF BLOOD fuses classical Western tragedy with formal elements taken from Noh theater to create an unforgettable cinematic experience.
	Through a Glass Darkly Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Harriet Andersson, Max von Sydow, Gunnar Björnstrand 1961 Sweden Duration: 1:29:56	While vacationing on a remote island retreat, a family finds its fragile ties tested when daughter Karin (an astonishing Harriet Andersson) discovers her father (Gunnar Björnstrand) has been using her schizophrenia for his own literary ends. As she drifts in and out of lucidity, Karin’s father, her husband (Max von Sydow), and her younger brother (Lars Passgård) are unable to prevent her descent into the abyss of mental illness. Winner of the Academy Award for best foreign-language film, THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY, the first work in Ingmar Bergman’s trilogy on faith and the loss of it, presents an unflinching vision of a family’s near disintegration and a tortured psyche further taunted by the intangibility of God’s presence.
	Through the Olive Trees Directed by Abbas Kiarostami Starring Mohammad Ali Keshavarz, Farhad Kheradmand, Zarifeh Shiva 1994 Iran Duration: 1:43:50	Abbas Kiarostami takes metanarrative gamesmanship to masterful new heights in the final installment of THE KOKER TRILOGY. Unfolding “behind the scenes” of AND LIFE GOES ON, this film traces the complications that arise when the romantic misfortune of one of the actors—a young man who pines for the woman cast as his wife, even though, in real life, she will have nothing to do with him—creates turmoil on set and leaves the hapless director caught in the middle. An ineffably lovely, gentle human comedy steeped in the folkways of Iranian village life, THROUGH THE OLIVE TREES peels away layer after layer of artifice as it investigates the elusive, alchemical relationship between cinema and reality.
	Throw Down Directed by Johnnie To Starring Louis Koo, Aaron Kwok, Cherrie Ying 2004 Hong Kong Duration: 1:36:11	One of the most personal films by the prolific Hong Kong auteur Johnnie To is a thrilling love letter to both the cinema of Akira Kurosawa and the art and philosophy of judo. Amid the neon-drenched nightclubs and gambling dens of Hong Kong’s nocturnal underworld, the fates of three wandering souls—a former judo champion now barely scraping by as an alcoholic bar owner (Louis Koo), a young fighter (Aaron Kwok) intent on challenging him, and a singer (Cherrie Ying) chasing dreams of stardom—collide in an operatic explosion of human pain, ambition, perseverance, and redemption. Paying offbeat homage to Kurosawa’s debut feature, SANSHIRO SUGATA, To scrambles wild comedy, flights of lyrical surrealism, and rousing martial-arts action into what is ultimately a disarmingly touching ode to the healing power of friendship.
	Thru the Wire Directed by Aki Kaurismäki 1987 Finland Duration: 06:07	The music video for 'Thru the Wire' by the Leningrad Cowboys.
	Thus Another Day Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita 1959 Japan Duration: 1:13:56	A young wife loses patience with her career-minded husband and returns to her parents' home while an unpaid mortgage force the couple to rent their home for the summer. Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita.
	Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! Directed by Pedro Almodóvar Starring Antonio Banderas, Victoria Abril 1990 Spain Duration: 1:41:56	Pedro Almodóvar’s colorful and controversial tribute to the pleasures and perils of Stockholm syndrome, TIE ME UP! TIE ME DOWN! is a rambunctious dark comedy starring Antonio Banderas as an unbalanced but alluring ex-mental-patient and Victoria Abril as the B-movie and former porn star he takes prisoner in the hopes of convincing her to marry him. A highly unconventional romance that came on the spike heels of Almodóvar’s international sensation WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, this is a splashy, sexy central work in the career of one of the world’s most beloved and provocative auteurs, radiantly shot by the director’s great cinematographer, José Luis Alcaine.
	Tiger Bay Directed by J. Lee Thompson 1959 United Kingdom Duration: 1:47:07	A detective attempts to solve a murder despite the false leads provided by a young girl, his only available witness.
	Time Bandits Directed by Terry Gilliam Starring John Cleese, Sean Connery, Shelley Duvall 1981 United Kingdom Duration: 1:56:11	In this fantastic voyage through time and space from Terry Gilliam, a boy named Kevin (Craig Warnock) escapes his gadget-obsessed parents to join a band of time-traveling dwarfs. Armed with a map stolen from the Supreme Being (Ralph Richardson), they plunder treasure from Napoleon (Ian Holm) and Agamemnon (Sean Connery)--but the Evil Genius (David Warner) is watching their every move. Featuring a darkly playful script by Gilliam and his Monty Python cohort Michael Palin (who also appears in the film), TIME BANDITS is at once a giddy fairy tale, a revisionist history lesson, and a satire of technology gone awry.
	A Time for Burning Directed by Barbara Connell and William C. Jersey 1966 United States Duration: 56:20	With extraordinary access and unflinching frankness, this remarkable, underseen documentary offers an X-ray of the soul of a divided America working through the social shockwaves of the civil rights movement. The film chronicles the struggles of Rev. L. William Youngdahl, pastor of the Augustana Lutheran Church in Omaha, Nebraska, as he tries to persuade members of his all-white congregation to reach out to their Black neighbors in an attempt to right some of the wrongs of systemic racism. A TIME FOR BURNING captures both the resistance of the white churchgoers, who speak candidly about their fears of integration, and the incisive perspectives of the Black residents (including firebrand activist and future state senator Ernie Chambers) who see through the hypocrisy of the church.
	The Times of Harvey Milk Directed by Robert Epstein 1984 United States Duration: 1:28:16	A true twentieth-century trailblazer, Harvey Milk was an outspoken human rights activist and one of the first openly gay U.S. politicians elected to public office; even after his assassination in 1978, he continues to inspire disenfranchised people around the world. The Oscar-winning The Times of Harvey Milk, directed by Robert Epstein and produced by Richard Schmiechen, was as groundbreaking as its subject. One of the first feature documentaries to address gay life in America, it's a work of advocacy itself, bringing Milk's message of hope and equality to a wider audience. This exhilarating trove of original documentary material and archival footage is as much a vivid portrait of a time and place (San Francisco's historic Castro District in the seventies) as a testament to the legacy of a political visionary.
	Times Square Directed by Allan Moyle Starring Tim Curry, Trini Alvarado, Robin Johnson 1980 United States	Problem teens Pamela (Trini Alvarado) and Nicky (Robin Johnson) bust out of a mental institution and go straight through the looking glass into Koch-era New York City, a grimy wonderland wherein they hurl TV sets from windows, hijack a radio station, and achieve underground-hero status as the garbage-bag-clad, bandit-masked punk rock duo the Sleez Sisters. This cult/queer/riot grrrl classic (a favorite of Bikini Kill’s Kathleen Hanna) is a defiantly anarchic ode to female rebellion with attitude to burn.
	Time Without Pity Directed by Joseph Losey Starring Michael Redgrave, Ann Todd, Leo McKern 1957 United Kingdom Duration: 1:28:45	On the day before his estranged son is scheduled to be executed for a murder he didn’t commit, an alcoholic writer (a riveting Michael Redgrave) embarks on a last-ditch attempt to save him, journeying into England’s criminal underworld in order to prove the young man’s innocence—and he is just unsteady enough in his thinking to make every twist of this powerful noir drama a source of ever-tightening suspense. Joseph Losey’s second British film after being blacklisted from Hollywood is forged with a feverish intensity, wringing maximum impact from the ticking-clock premise to make the audience feel the passage of every desperate second.
	The Tin Drum Directed by Volker Schlöndorff Starring David Bennent, Mario Adorf, Angela Winkler 1979 Germany Duration: 2:43:30	Directed by Volker Schlöndorff • 1979 • Germany Starring David Bennent, Mario Adorf, Angela Winkler Oskar is born in Germany in 1924 with an advanced intellect. Repulsed by the hypocrisy of adults and the irresponsibility of society, he refuses to grow older after his third birthday. While the chaotic world around him careens toward the madness and folly of World War II, Oskar pounds incessantly on his beloved tin drum and perfects his uncannily piercing shrieks. THE TIN DRUM, which earned the Palme d’Or at Cannes and the Academy Award for best foreign-language film, is Volker Schlöndorff’s visionary adaptation of Nobel laureate Günter Grass’ acclaimed novel, characterized by surreal imagery, arresting eroticism, and clear-eyed satire.
	Tiny: The Life of Erin Blackwell Directed by Martin Bell Starring Erin Blackwell 2016 United States Duration: 1:28:33	Thirty years in the making, TINY: THE LIFE OF ERIN BLACKWELL continues to follow one of the most indelible subjects of STREETWISE, a groundbreaking documentary on homeless and runaway teenagers. Erin Blackwell, a.k.a. Tiny, was introduced in filmmaker Martin Bell, photographer Mary Ellen Mark, and journalist Cheryl McCall's earlier film as a brash fourteen-year-old living precariously on the margins in Seattle. Now a forty-four year-old mother of ten, Blackwell reflects with Mark on the journey they’ve experienced together, from Blackwell’s struggles with addiction to her regrets to her dreams for her own children, even as she sees them being pulled down the same path of drugs and desperation. Interweaving three decades’ worth of Mark’s photographs and footage that includes previously unseen outtakes from STREETWISE, this is a heartrending, deeply empathetic portrait of a family struggling to break free of the cycle of trauma, as well as a summation of the life’s work of Mark, an irreplaceable artistic voice.
	Tobacco Embers Directed by Yugantar 1982 India Duration: 27:14	In the spirit of mobilizing for the leftist labor and women’s movements, the Yugantar collective spent four months with female tobacco factory workers in Nipani, Karnataka, listening to their accounts of exploitative working conditions, discussing strategies for unionizing, and filming previously unseen circumstances inside the factories. The result documents, re-enacts, and participates in one of the largest movements of unorganized labor of its time, which sparked unionizing processes across India throughout the 1980s.
	To Be Free Directed by Adepero Oduye Starring Adepero Oduye 2017 United States Duration: 12:23	In this soul-stirring short featuring stunning cinematography from Bradford Young, PARIAH actor Adepero Oduye takes the stage as the great Nina Simone for an intimate, defiant performance.
	To Be or Not to Be Directed by Ernst Lubitsch 1942 United States Duration: 1:39:14	As nervy as it is hilarious, this screwball masterpiece from Ernst Lubitsch stars Jack Benny and, in her final screen appearance, Carole Lombard as husband-and-wife thespians in Nazi-occupied Warsaw who become caught up in a dangerous spy plot. TO BE OR NOT TO BE is a Hollywood film of the boldest black humor, which went into production soon after the U.S. entered World War II. Lubitsch manages to brilliantly balance political satire, romance, slapstick, and urgent wartime suspense in a comic high-wire act that has never been equaled.
	Toby Dammit Directed by Federico Fellini Starring Terence Stamp 1968 Italy Duration: 43:36	Loosely adapted from Edgar Allan Poe’s story “Never Bet the Devil Your Head,” Federico Fellini’s contribution to the omnibus film SPIRITS OF THE DEAD is one of the filmmaker’s most extravagantly stylized cinematic dreamscapes—a psychedelic profusion of artificial backdrops, feverish colors, and waxwork-like weirdos. Terence Stamp telegraphs ever-mounting mania as an alcoholic Shakespearean actor who arrives in Rome to make a “Catholic western,” only to find himself beset by surreal visions that build toward a careening late-night ride on a highway to hell.
	To Joy Directed by Ingmar Bergman 1950 Sweden Duration: 1:39:10	An orchestra violinist's dreams of becoming a celebrated soloist and fears of his own mediocrity get in the way of his marriage to the patient, caring Marta. Played out to the music of Beethoven, Ingmar Bergman's To Joy is a heartbreaking tale of one man's inability to overcome the demons standing in the way of his happiness.
	Tokaido Yotsuya kaidan Directed by Nobuo Nakagawa 1959 Japan Duration: 1:16:57	Also known as THE GHOST OF YOTSUYA, this Nobuo Nakagawa film follows a samurai who betrays his wife, only to find her ghost has returned to reap her vengeance upon him.
	Tokyo Chorus Directed by Yasujiro Ozu 1931 Japan Duration: 1:30:33	Combining three prevalent genres of the day, the student comedy, the salaryman film, and the domestic drama, Ozu created this warmhearted family comedy, and demonstrated that he was truly coming into his own as a cinema craftsman. The setup is simple: Low wage-earning dad Okajima is depending on his bonus, and so are his wife and children, yet payday doesn't exactly go as planned. Exquisite and economical, Ozu's film alternates between brilliantly mounted comic sequences and heartrending working-class realities.
	Tokyo Drifter Directed by Seijun Suzuki Starring Tetsuya Watari, Chieko Matsubara, Tamio Kawaji 1966 Japan Duration: 1:22:49	In this jazzy gangster film, reformed killer Tetsu’s attempt to go straight is thwarted when his former cohorts call him back to Tokyo to help battle a rival gang. Director Seijun Suzuki’s onslaught of stylized violence and trippy colors is equal parts Russ Meyer, Samuel Fuller, and Nagisa Oshima—an anything-goes, in-your-face rampage. TOKYO DRIFTER is a delirious highlight of the brilliantly excessive Japanese cinema of the sixties.
	Tokyo-ga Directed by Wim Wenders 1985 West Germany Duration: 1:33:23	On the streets of Tokyo and in meetings with some of Yasujiro Ozu's legendary collaborators, renowned director Wim Wenders explores the world of Ozu, whom Wenders considers 'a sacred treasure of cinema.'
	Tokyo Olympiad Directed by Kon Ichikawa 1965 Japan Duration: 2:50:56	A spectacle of magnificent proportions and remarkable intimacy, Kon Ichikawa’s TOKYO OLYMPIAD remains one of the greatest films ever made about sports. Supervising a vast team of technicians using scores of cameras, Ichikawa captured the 1964 Summer Games in Tokyo in glorious widescreen images, using cutting-edge telephoto lenses and exquisite slow motion to create lyrical, idiosyncratic poetry from the athletic drama surging all around him. Drawn equally to the psychology of losers and winners—including the legendary Ethiopian marathoner Abebe Bikila, who receives the film’s most exalted tribute—Ichikawa captures the triumph, passion, and suffering of competition with a singular humanistic vision, and in doing so effected a transformative influence on the art of documentary filmmaking.
	Tokyo Story Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Starring Chishu Ryu, Chieko Higashiyama, Setsuko Hara 1953 Japan Duration: 2:17:06	Directed by Yasujiro Ozu • 1953 • Japan Starring Chishu Ryu, Chieko Higashiyama, Setsuko Hara A profoundly stirring evocation of elemental humanity and universal heartbreak, TOKYO STORY is the crowning achievement of the unparalleled Yasujiro Ozu. The film, which follows an aging couple’s journey to visit their grown children in bustling postwar Tokyo, surveys the rich and complex world of family life with the director’s customary delicacy and incisive perspective on social mores. Featuring lovely performances from Ozu regulars Chishu Ryu and Setsuko Hara, TOKYO STORY plumbs and deepens the director’s recurring theme of generational conflict, creating what is without question one of cinema’s mightiest masterpieces.
	Tokyo Twilight Directed by Yasujiro Ozu 1957 Japan Duration: 2:21:02	One of Ozu's most piercing portraits of family strife, Tokyo Twilight follows the parallel paths of two sisters contending with an absent mother, unwanted pregnancy, and marital discord.
	Tomboy Directed by Céline Sciamma Starring Zoé Héran, Malonn Lévana, Jeanne Disson 2011 France Duration: 1:22:19	TOMBOY tells the story of ten-year-old Laure (the amazing Zoé Héran), who moves to the suburbs and decides to pass as a boy named Mikael among the pack of neighborhood kids. Mikael catches the attention of leader of the pack Lisa, who becomes smitten. Laure/Mikael code-switches between being at home with their family and hanging out with their neighborhood pals and new girlfriend — all the while finding resourceful ways to navigate the summer. This second feature from Céline Sciamma (PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE) is an astute and moving exploration of childhood gender nonconformity.
	Tom Jones Directed by Tony Richardson Starring Albert Finney, Susannah York, Hugh Griffith 1963 United Kingdom Duration: 2:01:56	Directed by Tony Richardson • 1963 • United Kingdom Starring Albert Finney, Susannah York, Hugh Griffith In the early 1960s, at the height of the British New Wave, director Tony Richardson and playwright John Osborne set out for more fanciful territory than the gritty realism of the movement they’d helped establish. TOM JONES brings a theatrical flair to Henry Fielding’s canonical eighteenth-century novel, boisterously chronicling the misadventures of the foundling of the title (Albert Finney, in a career-defining performance), whose easy charm seems to lead him astray at every turn from his beloved, the wellborn Sophie Western (Susannah York). This spirited picaresque, evocatively shot in England’s rambling countryside and featuring an extraordinary ensemble cast, went on to become a worldwide sensation, winning the Oscar for best picture on the way to securing its status as a classic of irreverent wit and playful cinematic expression.
	Tongues Directed by Shirley Clarke Starring Joseph Chaikin 1982 United States Duration: 20:20	In this performance piece written by Sam Shepard, enacted by Joseph Chaikin, and directed by Shirley Clarke, a dying man reflects on his life while delivering his own last rites.
	Tongues Untied Directed by Marlon Riggs 1989 United States Duration: 54:59	Marlon Riggs’s landmark documentary uses poetry, personal testimony, rap, and performance (featuring poet Essex Hemphill and others) to describe the homophobia and racism faced by Black gay men. The stories are often devastating: the man refused entry to a gay bar because of his skin color; the college student left bleeding on the sidewalk after a hate crime; the loneliness and isolation of a drag queen. Yet they also powerfully affirm the Black gay male experience through protest marches, smoky bars, “snap diva,” and Vogue dancers. Made, in Riggs’s own words, to “shatter this nation’s brutalizing silence on matters of sexual and racial difference,” TONGUES UNTIED remains, three decades after its controversy-inciting release, as urgent and vital as ever.
	Toni Directed by Jean Renoir 1935 France Duration: 1:24:55	This multi-lingual drama from Jean Renoir follows Toni, an Italian immigrant who gets entangled in many relationships after moving to the south of France.
	Tonsler Park Directed by Kevin Jerome Everson 2017 United States Duration: 1:19:41	The films of Kevin Jerome Everson are rigorously crafted, thoughtfully illuminating records of Black American working-class life that bring into focus the often invisible routines of work and labor. In Tonsler Park, Everson trains his black-and-white 16 mm camera on the activity around voting precincts in Charlottesville, Virginia (future site of the infamous white supremacist Unite the Right rally), on Election Day, November 8, 2016—a day that would prove pivotal in the course of American democracy. Capturing, in detail, the vital work of mostly Black civil servants and citizens engaging in the democratic process, Everson pointedly centers their participation in a system that has long sought to disenfranchise them.
	Toothache Directed by Abbas Kiarostami 1980 Iran Duration: 26:59	Though much of this film by Abbas Kiarostami is a straightforward lecture about dental hygiene delivered by a dentist facing the camera, it still manages to be persuasively Kiarostami-esque in its description of young Mohammad-Reza’s life at home and school before he falls prey to tooth woes. (Kiarostami found the boy having a tooth removed, then filmed the earlier parts of the story later.) That some audiences find the film hilarious testifies to the humor that can accompany great discomfort.
	Topsy-Turvy Directed by Mike Leigh Starring Allan Corduner, Jim Broadbent, Timothy Spall 1999 United Kingdom Duration: 2:40:48	The world of Gilbert and Sullivan comes to vivid life in director Mike Leigh’s extraordinary dramatization of the staging of the duo’s legendary 1885 comic opera THE MIKADO. Jim Broadbent and Allan Corduner brilliantly inhabit the roles of the world-famous Victorian librettist and composer, who, along with their troupe of temperamental actors, must battle personal and professional demons while mounting this major production. A lushly produced epic about the harsh realities of creative expression, featuring bravura performances and Oscar-winning costume design and makeup, TOPSY-TURVY is an unexpected period delight from one of contemporary cinema’s great artists.
	Tori and Lokita Directed by Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne Starring Pablo Schils, Joely Mbundu, Alban Ukaj 2022 Belgium Duration: 1:29:13	From two-time Palme d’Or winners Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne (TWO DAYS, ONE NIGHT) comes the story of seventeen-year-old Lokita and twelve-year-old Tori (in remarkable debut performances from Joely Mbundu and Pablo Schils), two immigrants—from Cameroon and Benin, respectively—whose sibling-like bond is the only resource they can depend on in their struggle for survival on the margins of European society. The inseparable pair work as performers in a cheap trattoria, dealing drugs on the side for the restaurant’s abusive cook, while balancing the demands of an indifferent bureaucracy and a band of violent smugglers. When Lokita is held captive while working in a marijuana grow house, Tori scrambles to save his companion from their abusers, as events spiral out of control. Winner of the 75th Anniversary Prize at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, the latest humanist drama from the Dardenne brothers is a heart-stopping thriller that casts an unflinching eye on the trials of the young and dispossessed. “TORI AND LOKITA is one of the most devastating cinematic experiences I’ve had in a long time.” —Martin Scorsese “As charged as a thriller and as bracing as a slap in the face.” —Owen Gleiberman, “Variety” “Remarkable. The Dardenne brothers’ best in years.” —Justin Chang, “Los Angeles Times”
	Torment Directed by Alf Sjöberg 1944 Sweden Duration: 1:41:16	Ingmar Bergman's first produced screenplay was for the great Swedish filmmaker Alf Sjöberg's Torment, a dark coming-of-age drama about a boarding-school senior, Widgren, terrorized by his sadistic Latin teacher. When Widgren falls for a troubled local girl, Bertha, he finds himself caught up even further in a web of emotional mind games.
	Tormento Directed by Raffaello Matarazzo 1950 Italy Duration: 1:38:03	Anna (Yvonne Sanson) flees her home, where she has been victimized for years by her spineless father's mean-spirited second wife, to be with her lover (Amedeo Nazzari), an honest businessman yet to make his fortune. When he is accused of a murder he didn't commit, the couple's domestic tranquillity is upended, and a desperate Anna must rely on her cruel stepmother to help support their child.
	Torna! Directed by Raffaello Matarazzo 1954 Italy Duration: 1:36:36	Cousins James and Robert are in love with with the same woman, Susanna. When Robert and Susanna announce their engagement, James vows to ruin their happiness.
	Torso Directed by Sergio Martino Starring Suzy Kendall, Tina Aumont, Luc Merenda 1973 Italy Duration: 1:33:41	One of giallo maestro Sergio Martino’s most acclaimed films revels in the genre’s time-honored traditions while simultaneously laying the groundwork for the modern slasher movie. A sex maniac is prowling the streets of Perugia, targeting the picturesque university town’s female students. Alarmed at the plummeting life expectancy of the student body, Jane (Suzy Kendall) and her three friends elope to a secluded country villa—only to discover that, far from having left the terror behind, they’ve brought it with them! TORSO finds its director at the top of his game, delivering copious levels of violence, sleaze, and one of the tensest cat-and-mouse games ever committed to celluloid.
	Total Balalaika Show Directed by Aki Kaurismäki 1994 Finland Duration: 57:06	Aki Kaurismäki's film of the Leningrad Cowboys’ massive concert in Helsinki’s Senate Square with the 150-member Alexandrov Red Army Chorus and Dance Ensemble is a loving tribute to the rock band he made famous. Seventy thousand people turned out for this megaspectacle; featuring musical selections from Sibelius to Bob Dylan, it crossed genre and national divides.
	Totally F***ed Up Directed by Gregg Araki Starring James Duval, Roko Belic, Susan Behshid 1993 United States Duration: 1:19:44	A delirious mix of punk nihilism and deadpan irony, the first film in Gregg Araki’s Teen Apocalypse Trilogy puts an audaciously queer spin on Jean-Luc Godard’s classic MASCULIN FÉMININ. Across fifteen jagged episodes, TOTALLY F***ED UP plunges headlong into the lives of a group of queer, disaffected Los Angeles teenagers who form a kind of makeshift family as they navigate desire and heartbreak, societal and familial rejection, and the alienation of growing up gay in an era of relentless moralizing. Both a defiantly raw anthem of outsiderhood and a furious reckoning with all-American homophobia, Araki’s answer to the 1980s teen comedy captures youthful angst with an immediacy that still bruises.
	Tótem Directed by Lila Avilés Starring Naíma Sentíes, Monserrat Marañón, Marisol Gasé 2023 Mexico Duration: 1:35:47	In a bustling Mexican household, seven-year-old Sol is swept up in a whirlwind of preparations for her terminally ill father’s birthday party, led by her mother, aunts, and other relatives. As the day goes on, building to an event both anticipated and dreaded, Sol and her family begin to understand the gravity of this year’s celebration. Director Lila Avilés (THE CHAMBERMAID) orchestrates a dynamic ensemble cast in this stunning sophomore effort—a warmly observed, poignantly funny, and emotionally expansive study of the ways we cope with grief. “One of the finest movies you’ll see this year.” —Manohla Dargis, The New York Times (Critic’s Pick) “An exquisite, emotionally overwhelming drama. Avilés pulls you into the action with a depth and force of feeling.” —Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times “A luminous and soul-nourishing microcosm built on profound love in the face of impending grief.” —Carlos Aguilar, The Playlist
	The Touch Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Elliott Gould, Bibi Andersson, Max von Sydow 1971 Sweden Duration: 1:55:21	With his first English-language film, a critical and box-office disaster, Ingmar Bergman delivered a compelling portrait of conflicting desires. In THE TOUCH, a chance encounter between seemingly contented housewife Karin (Bibi Andersson) and David (Elliott Gould), an intense American archaeologist scarred by his family’s past, leads to the initiation of a torrid and tempestuous affair, one that eventually threatens the stability of Karin’s marriage to a respected local surgeon (Max von Sydow). Upon its release, the filmmaker declared this emotionally complex and sensitively performed film to be his first real love story.
	A Touch of Zen Directed by King Hu Starring Hsu Feng, Shih Chun, Bai Ying 1971 Taiwan Duration: 2:59:55	"Visionary" barely begins to describe this masterpiece of Chinese cinema and martial arts moviemaking. A TOUCH OF ZEN (Xia nu) by King Hu depicts the journey of Yang, a fugitive noblewoman in disguise who seeks refuge in a remote, and allegedly haunted, village. The sanctuary she and her three companions find with a shy scholar is shattered when a nefarious swordsman uncovers her identity, pitting the five against legions of blade-wielding opponents. At once a wuxia film, the tale of a spiritual quest, and a study in human nature, A TOUCH OF ZEN is an unparalleled work in Hu's formidable career and an epic of the highest order, characterized by breathtaking action choreography, stunning widescreen landscapes, and innovative editing.
	Touki bouki Directed by Djibril Diop Mambéty Starring Magaye Niang, Mareme Niang, Aminata Fall 1973 Senegal Duration: 1:30:40	Directed by Djibril Diop Mambéty • Senegal • 1973 Starring Magaye Niang, Mareme Niang, Aminata Fall With a stunning mix of the surreal and the naturalistic, Djibril Diop Mambéty paints a vivid, fractured portrait of Senegal in the early 1970s. In this French New Wave-influenced fantasy-drama, two young lovers long to leave Dakar for the glamour and comforts of France, but their escape plan is beset by complications both concrete and mystical. Characterized by dazzling imagery and music, the alternately manic and meditative TOUKI BOUKI is widely considered one of the most important African films ever made. Restored in 2008 by the Cineteca di Bologna/L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory, in association with The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project and the family of Djibril Diop Mambéty. Restoration funded by Armani, Cartier, Qatar Airways, and Qatar Museum Authority.
	Tout va bien Directed by Jean-Luc Godard and Jean-Pierre Gorin Starring Jane Fonda, Yves Montand 1972 France Duration: 1:36:05	In 1972, newly radicalized Hollywood star Jane Fonda joined forces with cinematic innovator Jean-Luc Godard and collaborator Jean-Pierre Gorin in an unholy artistic alliance that resulted in TOUT VA BIEN (EVERYTHING’S ALL RIGHT). This free-ranging assault on consumer capitalism and the establishment left tells the story of a wildcat strike at a sausage factory as witnessed by an American reporter (Fonda) and her has-been New Wave film director husband (Yves Montand). The Criterion Collection is proud to present this masterpiece of radical cinema, a caustic critique of society, marriage, and revolution in post-1968 France.

	Town Bloody Hall Directed by Chris Hegedus and D. A. Pennebaker Starring Norman Mailer, Germaine Greer, Jacqueline Ceballos 1979 United States Duration: 1:25:46	Directed by Chris Hegedus and D.A. Pennebaker • 1979 • United States Starring Norman Mailer, Germaine Greer, Jacqueline Ceballos On April 30, 1971, a standing-room-only crowd of New York’s intellectual elite packed the city’s Town Hall theater to see Norman Mailer—fresh from the controversy over his essay “The Prisoner of Sex” and the backlash it received from leaders of the women’s movement—tangle with a panel of four prominent female thinkers and activists: Jacqueline Ceballos, Germaine Greer, Jill Johnston, and Diana Trilling. Part intellectual death match, part three-ring circus, the proceedings were captured with crackling, fly-on-the-wall immediacy by the documentary great D. A. Pennebaker and a small crew, with Chris Hegedus later condensing the three-and-a-half-hour affair into this briskly entertaining snapshot of a singular cultural moment. Heady, heated, and hilarious, TOWN BLOODY HALL is a dazzling display of feminist firepower courtesy of some of the most influential figures of the era, with Mailer plainly relishing his role as the pugnacious rabble-rouser and literary lion at the center of it all.
	Track 29 Directed by Nicolas Roeg Starring Theresa Russell, Gary Oldman, Christopher Lloyd 1988 United Kingdom Duration: 1:30:32	The ever-provocative Nicolas Roeg brings his flair for the strange, the kinky, and the surreal to this outré Oedipal psychodrama. Unhappily married to a neglectful husband (Christopher Lloyd) more interested in his model train set than in her, the troubled Linda (Theresa Russell) finds herself tormented by the memory of the baby she gave up for adoption when she was a teenager. When Martin (Gary Oldman), a young man claiming to be her long-lost son, enters her life, Linda is drawn into a twisted relationship with him—one marked by obsession, violence, and forbidden desire.
	Tracked Directed by Hideo Gosha 1985 Japan Duration: 2:04:20	When a fugitive begins a romance with the woman hiding him from the law, it becomes uncertain whether he will ever escape the shadow of his heinous crimes--or the detectives hot on his trail. Directed by Hideo Gosha.
	Trafic Directed by Jacques Tati Starring Jacques Tati 1971 France Duration: 1:37:37	In Jacques Tati’s TRAFIC, the bumbling Monsieur Hulot, kitted out as always with tan raincoat, beaten brown hat, and umbrella, takes to Paris’s highways and byways. In this, his final outing, Hulot is employed as an auto company’s director of design, and accompanies his new product (a “camping car” outfitted with absurd gadgetry) to an auto show in Amsterdam. Naturally, the road there is paved with modern-age mishaps. This late-career delight is a masterful demonstration of the comic genius’s expert timing and sidesplitting knack for visual gags, and a bemused last look at technology run amok.
	The Trained Chinese Tongue Directed by Laurie Wen 1994 United States Duration: 19:20	Filmmaker Laurie Wen examines how Chinese immigrants live at the complex crossroads of food, language, colonization, and immigration by approaching a series of strangers—all immigrant women—in a Chinatown grocery store and then following them home for dinner.

	Trances Directed by Ahmed El Maanouni 1981 Morocco Duration: 1:29:30	Directed by Ahmed El Maânouni • 1981 • Morocco The beloved Moroccan band Nass El Ghiwane is the dynamic subject of this captivating musical documentary. Storytellers through song, with connections to political theater, the band became an international sensation (Western music critics have often referred to them as “the Rolling Stones of North Africa”) thanks to their political lyrics and sublime, fully acoustic sound, which draws on the Moroccan trance music tradition.

	Trash Humpers Directed by Harmony Korine Starring Rachel Korine, Brian Kotzur, Travis Nicholson 2009 United States Duration: 1:17:49	Scuzz poet Harmony Korine takes a dumpster dive into the freakiest fringes of weirdo America with this singular paragon of pop-art transgression. Shot on appropriately grimy VHS, TRASH HUMPERS brings us a gang of elderly degenerates who film themselves in the backlots and alleyways of Nashville, drinking heavily, defiling garbage and anything else at hand, and spreading destruction wherever they go. An unclassifiable work of post-cinema that plays like the most bizarrely unsettling home movie ever uncovered in a flea-market bargain bin, TRASH HUMPERS is graced with the strange beauty and proudly outsider spirit that runs through all of Korine’s films.

THE TRAVELER has an acridly ironic ending and one of the best performances by a child in Kiarostami’s early work.
	The Tree of Wooden Clogs Directed by Ermanno Olmi Starring Luigi Ornaghi, Francesca Moriggi, Omar Brignoli 1978 Italy Duration: 3:07:04	Directed by Ermanno Olmi • 1978 • Italy Starring Luigi Ornaghi, Francesca Moriggi, Omar Brignoli A painterly and sensual immersion in late nineteenth-century Italian farm life, Ermanno Olmi’s THE TREE OF WOODEN CLOGS lovingly focuses on four families working for one landowner on an isolated estate in the province of Bergamo. Filming on an abandoned farm for four months, Olmi adapted neorealist techniques to tell his story, enlisting local people to live as their own ancestors had, speaking in their native dialect on locations with which they were intimately familiar. Through the cycle of seasons, of backbreaking labor, love and marriage, birth and death, faith and superstition, Olmi naturalistically evokes an existence very close to nature, celebrating its beauty, humor, and simplicity but also acknowledging the feudal cruelty that governs it. Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1978, THE TREE OF WOODEN CLOGS is intimate in scale but epic in scope, a towering, heart-stirring work of humanist filmmaking. Restored by the Cineteca di Bologna at L’Immagine Ritrovata, with funding provided by The Film Foundation.

	The Trial of Joan of Arc Directed by Robert Bresson 1962 France Duration: 1:04:37	Fourteen years after Hollywood ran aground with its film of Joan of Arc (starring Ingrid Bergman), French filmmaker Robert Bresson turned his attention to the last part of Joan's life, and the result was a stark and beautifully compact retelling of the tale, based on the actual surviving records of her trial. With Florence Delay as the martyred saint, in a presentation intended to make her accessible to modern younger viewers, the result was somewhere between a legitimate hagiographical film and the precursor to Zeffirelli's youth-oriented Romeo & Juliet, made a half-decade later.

The teachers who are also interviewed are less starry-eyed; one speaks of ungrateful students and the job’s poor pay. The contrasting views express Abbas Kiarostami’s interest in education while registering some of his reservations about how it is practiced.

	Trouble Every Day Directed by Claire Denis Starring Vincent Gallo, Tricia Vessey, Béatrice Dalle 2001 France Duration: 1:41:07	Claire Denis’s poetic take on the body-horror genre is an atmospheric reverie of blood and lust that lays bare the filmmaker’s core artistic concerns around power, desire, and delirium.

In the process of trying to find a cure for his strange, bloodthirsty disease, Shane stumbles upon the story of a doctor (Alex Descas) and his flesh-eating wife (Béatrice Dalle). Shimmering with haunting beauty—with seductive cinematography by Agnès Godard and an ethereal score by Tindersticks—TROUBLE EVERY DAY is a mesmerizing blend of gore and sensuality that ranks among Denis’s supreme achievements.

Based on the novel by James Kennaway and featuring flawless performances by Guinness and Mills, TUNES OF GLORY uses the rigid stratification of military life to comment on the institutional contradictions and class hierarchies of English society, making for an unexpectedly moving drama.

	Turumba Directed by Kidlat Tahimik Starring Homer Abiad, Iñigo Vito, Maria Pehipol 1981 Philippines Duration: 1:28:03	Mixing documentary-like observation with playful irony, Kidlat Tahimik’s cautionary fable depicts the corrosive effects of capitalism on a tiny Philippine town. It’s there that a family—who make their living producing papier-mâché animals for the religious festival of Turumba—find their lives upended when a German entrepreneur commissions them to produce thousands of figurines for the 1972 Munich Olympics, transforming their humble handicraft business into an increasingly industrial, profit-driven, and alienating enterprise. Told from the point of view of a young boy, TURUMBA uses child’s-eye innocence to issue a barbed takedown of neocolonialist cultural corruption.

Though little known in the United States, TWENTY-FOUR EYES is one of Japan’s most popular and enduring classics.
	Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me Directed by David Lynch 1992 United States Duration: 2:15:02	In the town of Twin Peaks, everybody has their secrets, but no one more than Laura Palmer. In this prequel to his groundbreaking 1990s television series, David Lynch resurrects the teenager found wrapped in plastic at the beginning of the show, following her through the last week of her life and teasing out the enigmas that surround her murder. Homecoming queen by day and drug-addicted thrill seeker by night, Laura leads a double life that pulls her deeper and deeper into horror as she pieces together the identity of the assailant who has been terrorizing her for years. Nightmarish in its vision of an innocent torn apart by unfathomable forces, TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME is nevertheless one of Lynch's most humane films, aching with compassion for its tortured heroine, a character as enthralling in life as she was in death.
	Two English Girls Directed by François Truffaut 1971 France Duration: 2:10:11	Two English Girls shows François Truffaut working in one of his favorite environments, the work of Henri-Pierre Roche (the author of Jules and Jim), with his longtime leading man/cinematic doppelganger Jean-Pierre Léaud, and telling a story so good on so many levels that he saved the narration for himself. As with many of Truffaut's best works (of which this is one, though it is often underrated), the story, of the romantic triangle between the two title characters and Léaud's Claude, is so beautifully delineated that the tale becomes almost secondary to its telling.
	Two Friends Directed by Jane Campion Starring Kris Bidenko, Emma Coles, Kris McQuade 1986 Australia Duration: 1:18:53	This ambitious TV movie by Jane Campion was heralded at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival as the arrival of a major new filmmaking voice.

The film begins in the present, when teenage friends Louise and Kelly, once inseparable, have already grown apart. Louise is in high school, gets good grades, and has a typical love-hate relationship with her divorced mother. Kelly, in bleached hair and punk gear, lives with friends at the beach and is experimenting with drugs and casual relationships. Campion then takes the film backward in time over the past year in the girls’ friendship. In five episodes, the film reveals the subtle changes that sent the two on their different paths. With the humor, fierce honesty, and passionate sense of humanity that are the hallmarks of Campion’s best work, she tells a story of missed opportunities and minor traumas that take on profound new meanings with the passage of time.

	Two Tons of Turquoise to Taos Tonight Directed by Robert Downey Sr. 1975 United States Duration: 56:30	"A film without a beginning or an end," in Downey's words, this Dadaist thingamajig, a never-before-seen, newly reedited version of the director's 1975 release Moment to Moment (also known as Jive), is a rush of curious sketches, scenes, and shots that takes on a rhythmic life of its own. It stars Downey's multitalented wife, Elsie, in an endless succession of off-the-wall roles, from dancer to cocaine fiend.
	Two-Zone Transfer Directed by Ulysses Jenkins 1979 United States Duration: 24:07	Ulysses Jenkins—alongside fellow Otis Art Institute student Kerry James Marshall—stages a surrealist minstrel show in this dream-vision exploration of the history of Black representation.
	Ugetsu Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi Starring Machiko Kyo, Masayuki Mori, Kinuyo Tanaka 1953 Japan Duration: 1:37:09	Starring Machiko Kyo, Masayuki Mori, Kinuyo Tanaka By the time he made UGETSU, Kenji Mizoguchi was already an elder statesman of Japanese cinema, fiercely revered by Akira Kurosawa and other directors of a younger generation. And with this exquisite ghost story, a fatalistic wartime tragedy derived from stories by Akinari Ueda and Guy de Maupassant, he created a touchstone of his art, his long takes and sweeping camera guiding the viewer through a delirious narrative about two villagers whose pursuit of fame and fortune leads them far astray from their loyal wives. Moving between the terrestrial and the otherworldly, UGETSU reveals essential truths about the ravages of war, the plight of women, and the pride of men.

Restoration funding provided by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in association with The Film Foundation and Kadokawa Corporation.
	Ulysse Directed by Agnès Varda 1983 France Duration: 22:29	In this ruminative cross-pollination of film and photography, Agnès Varda uses a mysterious still image that she took in the late fifties—of a nude man (the photographer Guy Bourdin, a friend of hers) and a toddler on a rocky beach, flanked by a dead goat with a swelling belly in the foreground—as the springboard for a contemplation on the passing of time and the subjectivity of meaning in art.

Directed by Vittorio De Sica Starring Carlo Battisti, Maria Pia Casilio 1952 Italy Duration: 1:28:38	This neorealist masterpiece by Vittorio De Sica follows an elderly pensioner as he strives to make ends meet during Italy’s postwar economic recovery. Alone except for his dog, Flike, Umberto struggles to maintain his dignity in a city where human kindness seems to have been swallowed up by the forces of modernization. His simple quest to satisfy his basic needs—food, shelter, companionship—makes for one of the most heartbreaking stories ever filmed, and an essential classic of world cinema
	Umbrellas Directed by Albert Maysles, Henry Corra, and Grahame Weinbren 1994 United States Duration: 1:21:05	UMBRELLAS takes a poignant, in-depth look at the concept and realization of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s project “Umbrellas.” The film presents the artists at their most triumphant and most vulnerable moments—from the exaltation of the project’s opening day through unexpected tragedies at the end.

	Une parisienne Directed by Michel Boisrond 1957 France Duration: 1:25:20	Brigitte Bardot was best-known as an actress (as opposed to a sex symbol) for her dramatic performances -- Michel Boisrond's Une Parisienne proved that she could be just as effective as a comedienne (getting her compared to Marilyn Monroe at her best), and hold her own alongside no less a figure than romantic leading man Charles Boyer. Between the two of them, and the movie's beautiful cinematography by Marcel Grignon, and Boisrond's lively, frothy direction of this story about a young married couple coping with fears of infidelity, Une Parisienne remains a treat for fans of Bardot, Boyer, or romantic comedies.

Sadomasochistic obsession, deception, murder, disfigurement, and a spectacular Grand Guignol climax—Browning wrings every last frisson from the lurid premise.

	Until the End of the World Directed by Wim Wenders Starring William Hurt, Solveig Dommartin, Sam Neill 1991 Germany Duration: 4:47:59	Conceived as the ultimate road movie, this decades-in-the-making science-fiction epic from Wim Wenders follows the restless Claire Tourneur (Solveig Dommartin) across continents as she pursues a mysterious stranger (William Hurt) in possession of a device that can make the blind see and bring dream images to waking life. With an eclectic soundtrack that gathers a host of the director’s favorite musicians, along with gorgeous cinematography by Robby Müller, this breathless adventure in the shadow of Armageddon takes its heroes to the ends of the earth and into the oneiric depths of their own souls. Presented here in its triumphant 287-minute director’s cut, UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD assumes its rightful place as Wenders’ magnum opus, a cosmic ode to the pleasures and perils of the image and a prescient meditation on cinema’s digital future.

	Vagabond Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Sandrine Bonnaire, Macha Méril, Stéphane Freiss 1985 France Duration: 1:46:17	Sandrine Bonnaire won the Best Actress César for her portrayal of the defiant young drifter Mona, found frozen to death in a ditch at the beginning of VAGABOND. Agnès Varda pieces together Mona’s story through flashbacks told by those who encountered her (played by a largely nonprofessional cast), producing a splintered portrait of an enigmatic woman. With its sparse, poetic imagery, VAGABOND (SANS TOIT NI LOI) is a stunner, and won Varda the top prize at the Venice Film Festival.
	Valerie and Her Week of Wonders Directed by Jaromil Jireš Starring Jaroslava Schallerová, Helena Anyžová, Petr Kopriva 1970 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:16:56	A girl on the verge of womanhood finds herself in a sensual fantasyland of vampires, witchcraft, and other threats in this eerie and mystical movie daydream. VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS serves up an endlessly looping, nonlinear fairy tale, set in a quasi-medieval landscape. Ravishingly shot, enchantingly scored, and spilling over with surreal fancies, this enticing phantasmagoria from director Jaromil Jireš is among the most beautiful oddities of the Czechoslovak New Wave.
	Vámonos Directed by Marvin Lemus Starring Vico Ortiz, Jessica Camacho, Natalia Cordova-Buckley 2015 United States Duration: 12:24	Vico Ortiz (OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH) and Jessica Camacho (ALL RISE, THE FLASH, WATCHMEN) costar in this beautiful story about what it looks like to show up as an ally for our gender-nonconforming loved ones: when Mac, a young butch Latina, dies, her girlfriend, Hope, must overcome both personal grief and homophobic hostilities from Mac’s family in order to respectfully send Mac off into the afterlife as she would’ve wanted.
	The Vampire Directed by Jean Painlevé 1945 France Duration: 09:09	Jean Painlevé’s short THE VAMPIRE draws the connection between the movie monsters of the same name and the South American vampire bat. The animal’s gruesome feeding habits are on full display.
	Vampyr Directed by Carl Th. Dreyer Starring Julian West, Maurice Schutz, Rena Mandel 1932 Denmark Duration: 1:13:37	With VAMPYR, Danish filmmaker Carl Theodor Dreyer channeled his genius for creating mesmerizing atmosphere and austere, unsettling imagery into the horror genre. The result—a chilling film about a student of the occult who encounters supernatural haunts and local evildoers in a village outside of Paris—is nearly unclassifiable. A host of stunning camera and editing tricks and densely layered sounds create a mood of dreamlike terror. With its roiling fogs, ominous scythes, and foreboding echoes, VAMPYR is one of cinema’s great nightmares.
	Vanilla Sex Directed by Cheryl Dunye Starring Cheryl Dunye 1992 United States Duration: 04:00	The filmmaker muses on the slang term of the title: is it who you do, or what you do?
	The Vanishing Directed by George Sluizer Starring Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu, Gene Bervoets, Johanna ter Steege 1988 France Duration: 1:46:17	A young man embarks on an obsessive search for the girlfriend who mysteriously disappeared while the couple were taking a sunny vacation trip, and his three-year investigation draws the attention of her abductor, a mild-mannered professor with a clinically diabolical mind. An unorthodox love story and a truly unsettling thriller, Dutch filmmaker George Sluizer’s THE VANISHING unfolds with meticulous intensity, leading to an unforgettable finale that has unnerved audiences around the world.
	Varan the Unbelievable Directed by Ishiro Honda Starring Kozo Nomura, Ayumi Sonoda, Koreya Senda 1958 Japan Duration: 1:27:03	Following in the wake of Godzilla and Rodan, Toho and director Ishiro Honda unleashed Varan, another monstrous manifestation of nature’s wrath. When they travel to a remote region of Japan to investigate the mysterious deaths of a pair of butterfly researchers, a reporter (Ayumi Sonoda) and a scientist (Kozo Nomura) discover the titular prehistoric reptile, who rises from a lake and proceeds to rampage his way toward Tokyo’s Haneda Airport.
	Varda by Agnès Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Agnès Varda 2019 France Duration: 2:00:06	The final film from the late, beloved Agnès Varda is a characteristically playful, profound, and personal summation of the director’s own brilliant career. At once impish and wise, Varda acts as our spirit guide on a free-associative tour through her six-decade artistic journey, shedding new light on her films, photography, and recent installation works while offering her one-of-a-kind reflections on everything from filmmaking to feminism to aging. Suffused with the people, places, and things she loved—Jacques Demy, cats, colors, beaches, heart-shaped potatoes—the wonderfully idiosyncratic work of imaginative autobiography VARDA BY AGNÈS is a warmly human, touchingly bittersweet parting gift from one of cinema’s most luminous talents.
	Variety Directed by Bette Gordon Starring Sandy McLeod, Will Patton, Richard M. Davidson 1983 United States Duration: 1:40:39	The provocative, sexually charged tale of a woman’s journey of self-discovery, Bette Gordon’s independent landmark offers a bold challenge to conventional notions of feminism and pornography. Emerging out of New York City’s 1980s artistic underground, VARIETY follows Christine (Sandy McLeod), a bright and unassuming young woman who takes a job selling tickets at a porno theater near Times Square. Instead of distancing herself from the dark and erotic nature of her new milieu, Christine soon develops an obsession that begins to consume her life. Featuring contributions from a variety of counterculture luminaries—including cult novelist Kathy Acker, who cowrote the script; musician John Lurie; and photographer Nan Goldin—VARIETY remains revolutionary in its fearless exploration of erotic fantasy from a woman’s point of view.
	Variety Lights Directed by Federico Fellini… Starring Peppino De Filippo, Carla Del Poggio, Giulietta Masina 1950 Italy Duration: 1:38:19	Made in collaboration with Alberto Lattuada, Federico Fellini’s directorial debut unfolds amid the colorful backdrop of a traveling vaudeville troupe whose quixotic impresario (Peppino De Filippo) is tempted away from his faithful mistress (Giulietta Masina) by the charms of an ambitious young dancer (Carla Del Poggio). Though the details of what the division of duties was between the two directors are unclear, this lively backstage capriccio is unmistakably Felliniesque in its whimsical fascination with the heightened reality, carnivalesque characters, and exotic allure of the world of show business. In the first of her celebrated collaborations with her director husband, Giulietta Masina displays the spirited vulnerability that would soon become an archetype of cinematic emotiveness.
	The Velvet Vampire Directed by Stephanie Rothman Starring Celeste Yarnall, Michael Blodgett, Sherry E. DeBoer 1971 United States Duration: 1:20:07	Toeing the line between exploitation and art cinema, Stephanie Rothman’s follow-up to her hit THE STUDENT NURSES deconstructs vampire mythology with a subversive feminist spirit and dreamily poetic visual style. California yuppies Susan (Sherry E. DeBoer) and Lee Ritter (Michael Blodgett) are delighted to accept an invitation from the mysterious Diane LeFanu (the transfixing Celeste Yarnall) to visit her secluded desert estate. Unaware that the seductive Diane is actually a centuries-old vampire, the couple soon realize that they are both the objects of her cravings.
	Vendetta of a Samurai Directed by Kazuo Mori Starring Toshiro Mifune, Takashi Shimura 1952 Japan Duration: 1:21:38	Scripted by Akira Kurosawa and directed by period specialist Kazuo Mori, this revisionist samurai tale stars the mighty Toshiro Mifune as legendary swordsman Mataemon Araki, who aids a young man in his quest to avenge the killing of a family member. Based on a famous incident in Japanese history, VENDETTA OF A SAMURAI plays intriguingly with the concept of truth as it sets out to separate reality from myth. Fellow Kurosawa regular Takashi Shimura costars alongside a supporting cast that includes several future SEVEN SAMURAI players.
	Vengeance Is Mine Directed by Michael Roemer Starring Brooke Adams, Jon DeVries, Ari Meyers 1984 United States Duration: 1:59:04	Like director Michael Roemer’s prior features—the powerful civil-rights-era landmark NOTHING BUT A MAN and the offbeat mob comedy THE PLOT AGAINST HARRY—this continuously surprising, cuttingly incisive family drama emerged from decades of neglect to be heralded as a lost masterpiece of American independent cinema. Brooke Adams delivers a revelatory, multilayered performance as Jo, a troubled woman who returns to her family home in Rhode Island to confront her childhood demons. There, she becomes unexpectedly embroiled in the simmering domestic discord next door. Bringing vérité naturalism to a seemingly melodramatic premise, Roemer crafts a miracle of novelistic psychological insight that, as it unspools, reveals ever-greater depths of human understanding.
	Vengeance Is Mine Directed by Shohei Imamura Starring Ken Ogata, Mayumi Ogawa, Mitsuko Baisho 1979 Japan Duration: 2:20:43	A thief, a murderer, and a charming lady-killer, Iwao Enokizu (Ken Ogata) is on the run from the police. Director Shohei Imamura turns this fact-based story—about the seventy-eight-day killing spree of a remorseless man from a devoutly Catholic family—into a cold, perverse, and at times diabolically funny examination of the primitive coexisting with the modern. More than just a true-crime tale, VENGEANCE IS MINE bares humanity’s snarling id.
	Vera Directed by Sérgio Toledo Starring Ana Beatriz Nogueira, Raul Cortez, Aida Leiner 1986 Brazil Duration: 1:27:22	Based on the tragically short life of Brazilian poet Anderson Bigode Herzer, this intense drama tells the story of Bauer, a trans man who navigates a difficult upbringing in an orphanage before finding love with a young librarian. He has the sympathy of his mentor, a professor who sees his talent as a poet, but struggles to be understood by others: “I’m not what everyone thinks I am. You hear me? I’m different. I’m something else. Something else.” One of the earliest portrayals in cinema of a transmasculine character, VERA features a remarkable lead performance by Ana Beatriz Nogueira, who received the Best Actress prize at the 1987 Berlin Film Festival.
	Vernon, Florida Directed by Errol Morris 1981 United States Duration: 55:45	Vernon is a town in the Florida panhandle surrounded by swamps. Here, Errol Morris found the quietly fascinating subjects for the follow-up to his galvanizing debut, GATES OF HEAVEN. As ever humane yet sharply focused, Morris lets his camera subjects pontificate and perambulate the environs of this seemingly unremarkable little community. The result is a strangely philosophical work that cemented its director’s standing as an important figure in American film.
	Veronika Voss Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder Starring Rosel Zech, Hilmar Thate, Cornelia Froboess 1982 West Germany Duration: 1:44:27	A once-beloved Third Reich–era starlet, Veronika Voss (Rosel Zech) lives in obscurity in postwar Munich. Struggling for survival and haunted by past glories, she encounters sportswriter Robert Krohn (Hilmar Thate) in a rain-swept park and intrigues him with her mysterious beauty. As their unlikely relationship develops, Robert comes to discover the dark secrets that brought about the decline of Veronika’s career. Based on the true story of a World War II Ufa star, Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s VERONIKA VOSS is wicked satire disguised as a 1950s melodrama.
	Véronique and Her Dunce Directed by Eric Rohmer 1958 France Duration: 18:40	In this short film from director Eric Rohmer, Véronique tutors a perplexing young boy.
	Veslemøy’s Song Directed by Sofia Bohdanowicz Starring Deragh Campbell, Joan Benac 2018 Canada Duration: 08:42	Audrey Benac (Deragh Campbell) uncovers a family connection to Kathleen Parlow, a once famous, now forgotten Canadian violinist, and travels to the New York Public Library to learn more. In the archives, she experiences both the thrill of discovery and the agony of defeat.
	Viy Directed by Georgi Kropachyov and Konstantin Ershov Starring Leonid Kuravlyov, Natalya Varley, Vadim Zakharchenko 1967 Soviet Union Duration: 1:16:36	In nineteenth-century Ukraine, a seminary student (Leonid Kuravlyov) is forced to spend three nights with the corpse of a beautiful young witch (Natalya Varley). But when she rises from the dead to seduce him, it will summon a nightmare of fear, desire, and demonic mayhem. Bursting with startling imagery and stunning practical effects, this sinister fairytale—adapted from a novella by Nikolai Gogol—was one of the few horror films produced in the Soviet Union, and it remains an experience unlike any other.
	Victim Directed by Basil Dearden 1961 United Kingdom Duration: 1:40:34	An extraordinary performance by Dirk Bogarde grounds this intense, sobering indictment of early-sixties social intolerance and sexual puritanism. Bogarde plays Melville Farr, a married barrister who is one of a large group of closeted London men who become targets of a blackmailer. Basil Dearden's unmistakably political taboo buster was one of the first films to address homophobia head-on, a cry of protest against British laws forbidding homosexuality.
	Victims of Sin Directed by Emilio Fernández Starring Ninón Sevilla, Tito Junco, Rodolfo Acosta 1951 Mexico Duration: 1:24:58	A treasure of Mexico’s cinematic golden age, this deliriously plotted blend of gritty crime film, heart-tugging maternal melodrama, and mambo musical is a dazzling showcase for iconic star Ninón Sevilla. She brings fierce charisma and fiery strength to her role as a rumbera—a female nightclub dancer—who gives up everything to raise an abandoned boy, whom she must protect from his ruthless gangster father. Directed at a dizzying pace by filmmaking titan Emilio Fernández, and shot in stylish chiaroscuro by renowned cinematographer Gabriel Figueroa amid smoky dance halls and atmospherically seedy underworld haunts, VICTIMS OF SIN is a ferociously entertaining female-powered noir pulsing with the intoxicating rhythms of some of Latin America’s most legendary musical stars.
	La vie de bohème Directed by Aki Kaurismäki Starring André Wilms, Matti Pellonpää, Karl Väänänen 1992 Finland Duration: 1:42:55	This deadpan tragicomedy about a group of impoverished, outcast artists living the bohemian life in Paris is among the most beguiling films by Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki. Based on stories from Henri Murger’s influential mid-nineteenth-century book “Scènes de la vie de bohème” (the basis for the opera “La bohème”), the film features a marvelous trio of Kaurismäki regulars—André Wilms, Matti Pellonpää, and Karl Väänänen—as a writer, painter, and composer who scrape by together, sharing in life’s daily absurdities. Gorgeously shot in black and white, LA VIE DE BOHÈME is a vibrantly scrappy rendition of a beloved tale.
	La vie de Jésus Directed by Bruno Dumont Starring David Douche, Marjorie Cottreel 1997 France Duration: 1:36:33	With his stunning debut feature, the risk-taking auteur Bruno Dumont immediately established his reputation as an uncompromising iconoclast on the cutting edge of French cinema. Blending unflinching realism with moments of startling, light-filled beauty, LA VIE DE JÉSUS finds unexpected philosophical richness in the quotidian, small-town existence of Freddy (nonprofessional David Douche in a revelatory, one-off performance), an aimless young man with epilepsy who, in his childlike simplicity, embodies both great tenderness and terrifying brutality. Leaving the film’s cryptic title tantalizingly open to interpretation, Dumont dares viewers to see the divine in a seemingly dead-end world.
	The Village Detective: a song cycle Directed by Bill Morrison Starring Gísli Fannar Gylfason, Erlendur Sveinsson, Peter Bagrov 2021 United States Duration: 1:20:55	During the summer of 2016, a fishing boat off the shores of Iceland made a most curious catch: four reels of 35 mm film, seemingly of Soviet provenance. Unlike the film find explored in Bill Morrison’s DAWSON CITY: FROZEN TIME, it turned out this discovery wasn’t a lost work of major importance, but an incomplete print of a popular Soviet comedy from 1969, starring the beloved Russian actor Mihail Žarov. Does that mean it has no value? Morrison thought not. To him, the heavily water-damaged print, and the way it surfaced, could be seen as a fitting reflection on the film work of Žarov, who re-emerges from the bottom of the sea fifty years later like a Russian Rip Van Winkle, to a world where reels of film are as antiquated as the Soviet Union. But if celluloid film is the only medium that can survive the ocean, how will future generations remember us? Morrison uses the discovery as a jumping-off point for a meditation on cinema’s past, offering a journey into Soviet history and film accompanied by a gorgeous score by Pulitzer- and Grammy-winning composer David Lang.
	La villa Santo-Sospir Directed by Jean Cocteau 1951 France Duration: 36:37	This 37-minute film was made by Jean Cocteau in 1951, on 16 mm Kodachrome. It features a tour of his decorative art at the villa Santo-Sospir and of his home in Villefranche-sur-Mer.
	Violence at Noon Directed by Nagisa Oshima 1966 Japan Duration: 1:39:36	Violence at Noon concerns the odd circumstances surrounding a horrific murder and rape spree. In a twist, the film is as much about the two women who protect the violent man, his wife and a former victim, as it is about him. Containing more than two thousand cuts and a wealth of inventive widescreen compositions, this coolly fragmented character study is a mesmerizing investigation of criminality and social decay.
	The Virgin of Pessac 79 Directed by Jean Eustache 1979 France Duration: 1:11:13	A decade after making THE VIRGIN OF PESSAC, Jean Eustache filmed another documentary about his hometown’s annual coronation of a young woman of moral integrity. The differences between the two portraits of the same ritual are subtle yet telling: The selection process is slightly more fraught in the 1970s, as civic leaders are more concerned with the current economic depression than with broader social upheaval. In THE VIRGIN OF PESSAC 79, the ceremony also provides a stage on which progressive changes are made official, with a local order, the Fellows of Pleasant Pessac, inducting their first female member. Finally, the second time around, Eustache employs color photography, an appropriate choice given the event’s verdant spring setting.
	The Virgin of Pessac Directed by Jean Eustache 1969 France Duration: 1:06:25	As political and social tumult rocked France in May and June of 1968, Jean Eustache used his first documentary to focus on persistent tradition, in the form of a centuries-old ceremony in his hometown of Pessac. Each year, Pessac’s civic leaders choose a young woman they consider an exemplar of moral virtue, with a daylong celebration commemorating the changing of the guard from the previous year’s “virgin” to the present one. Eustache observes the exacting selection process, the fostering of communal bonds, and a bold implication by Pessac’s presiding priest that the ritual upholds the same Christian values for which leftist students and workers were then currently fighting.
	The Virgin Spring Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Max von Sydow, Birgitta Valberg, Gunnel Lindblom 1960 Sweden Duration: 1:29:29	Winner of the Academy Award for best foreign-language film, Ingmar Bergman’s THE VIRGIN SPRING is a harrowing tale of faith, revenge, and savagery in medieval Sweden. With austere simplicity, the director tells the story of the rape and murder of the virgin Karin, and her father Töre’s ruthless pursuit of vengeance against the three killers. Starring Max von Sydow and photographed by the brilliant Sven Nykvist, the film is both beautiful and cruel in its depiction of a world teetering between paganism and Christianity.
	Viridiana Directed by Luis Buñuel Starring Silvia Pinal, Fernando Rey, Francisco Rabal 1961 Spain Duration: 1:31:21	Banned in Spain and denounced by the Vatican, Luis Buñuel’s irreverent vision of life as a beggar’s banquet is regarded by many as his masterpiece. In it, novice nun Viridiana does her utmost to maintain her Catholic principles, but her lecherous uncle and a motley assemblage of paupers force her to confront the limits of her idealism. Winner of the Palme d’or at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival, VIRIDIANA is as audacious today as ever.
	Visions of Eight Directed by Juri Ozerov, Mai Zetterling, Arthur Penn, Michael Pfleghar, Kon Ichikawa, Miloš Forman, Claude Lelouch, and John Schlesinger 1973 United States Duration: 1:50:24	In Munich in 1972, eight renowned filmmakers each brought their singular artistry to the spectacle of the Olympic Games, capturing the joy and pain of competition and the kinetic thrill of bodies in motion for an aesthetically adventurous sports film unlike any other. Made to document the Olympic Summer Games—an event that was ultimately overshadowed by the tragedy of a terrorist attack—VISIONS OF EIGHT features contributions from Miloš Forman, Kon Ichikawa, Claude Lelouch, Juri Ozerov, Arthur Penn, Michael Pfleghar, John Schlesinger, and Mai Zetterling, each given carte blanche to create a short film focusing on any aspect of the Games that captured his or her imagination. The resulting films—ranging from the arresting abstraction of Penn’s pure cinema study of pole-vaulters to the playful irreverence of Forman’s musical take on the decathlon to Schlesinger’s haunting portrait of the single-minded solitude of a marathon runner—are triumphs of personal, poetic vision applied to one of the pinnacles of human achievement.
	Les visiteurs du soir Directed by Marcel Carné Starring Arletty, Alain Cuny 1942 France Duration: 2:01:11	A work of poetry and dark humor, LES VISITEURS DU SOIR is a lyrical medieval fantasy from the great French director Marcel Carné. Two strangers dressed as minstrels (Arletty and Alain Cuny) arrive at a castle in advance of court festivities—and are revealed to be emissaries of the devil, dispatched to spread heartbreak and suffering. Their plans, however, are thwarted by an unexpected intrusion: human love. Often interpreted as an allegory for the Nazi occupation of France, during which it was made, LES VISITEURS DU SOIR—wittily written by Jacques Prévert and Pierre Laroche, and elegantly designed by Alexandre Trauner and shot by Roger Hubert—is a moving tale of love conquering all.
	A Visual Diary Directed by Shirley Clarke 1980 United States Duration: 06:06	Avant-garde dancer Blondell Cummings’s intensely expressive choreography and director Shirley Clarke’s fractured editing convey a woman’s inner turmoil.
	Viva Maria! Directed by Agnieszka Smoczyńska 2010 Poland Duration: 17:17	This short documentary about opera singer Maria Fołtyn was directed by Agnieszka Smoczyńska in 2010, while she was a film student at the Wajda School in Warsaw.
	Vive le Tour Directed by Louis Malle 1962 France Duration: 18:54	In his short documentary Vive le Tour, Louis Malle presents his energetic evocation of the Tour de France. This, Humain, trop humain, and Place de la République, Louis Malle's three French-set documentaries, reveal, in an eclectic array of ways, the director's eternal fascination with, and respect for, the everyday lives of everyday people.
	Vivre sa vie Directed by Jean-Luc Godard Starring Anna Karina, Sady Rebbot, André Labarthe 1962 France Duration: 1:23:52	VIVRE SA VIE (a.k.a. MY LIFE TO LIVE) was a turning point for Jean-Luc Godard and remains one of his most dynamic films, combining brilliant visual design with a tragic character study. The lovely Anna Karina, Godard’s greatest muse, plays Nana, a young Parisian who aspires to be an actress but instead ends up a prostitute, her downward spiral depicted in a series of discrete tableaux of daydreams and dances. Featuring some of Karina and Godard’s most iconic moments, from her movie theater vigil with THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC to her seductive pool-hall strut, VIVRE SA VIE is a landmark of the French New Wave that still surprises at every turn.
	Voices of a Distant Star Directed by Makoto Shinkai Starring Chihiro Suzuki, Sumi Muto, Donna Burke 2002 Japan Duration: 24:40	When a teenage girl is sent to a distant universe to battle aliens, her relationship with a boy—carried out through text messages that take ever longer to reach Earth—unfolds across a vast expanse of time and space.
	Voices of Kidnapping Directed by Ryan McKenna 2017 Canada Duration: 14:24	Ghostly images of Colombia’s jungle landscapes are set to radio transmissions sent by family members to their kidnapped loved ones—heartrending messages of grief, support, and, against all odds, hope.

	The Volunteer Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger 1943 United Kingdom Duration: 44:50	During WWII, Ralph Richardson suggested that Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger make a recruitment film for the Fleet Air Arm, which both he and Laurence Olivier had joined. Pressburger proposed a “semidocumentary,” which resulted in THE VOLUNTEER (1943), starring Richardson and featuring a brief guest appearance by Olivier. Criterion is pleased to present the original, 46-minute version of the film, rarely seen in the United States.
	Voyage to the Sky Directed by Jean Painlevé 1937 France Duration: 11:13	On assignment for the mathematics department of le Palais de la Découverte, Jean Painlevé shot this film to be presented at the Paris museum’s 1937 international exhibition. VOYAGE TO THE SKY muses on extraterrestrial landscapes and earth’s role in the universe.
	The Wages of Fear Directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot Starring Yves Montand, Charles Vanel, Peter Van Eyck 1953 France Duration: 2:28:20	In a squalid South American oil town, four desperate men sign on for a suicide mission to drive trucks loaded with nitroglycerin over a treacherous mountain route. As they ferry their explosive cargo to a faraway oil fire, each bump and jolt tests their courage, their friendship, and their nerves. The result is one of the greatest thrillers ever committed to celluloid, a white-knuckle ride from France’s legendary master of suspense, Henri-Georges Clouzot.
	Waiting Women Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Anita Björk, Eva Dahlbeck, Maj-Britt Nilsson 1952 Sweden Duration: 1:48:34	While at a summerhouse, awaiting their husbands’ return, a group of sisters-in-law recount stories from their respective marriages. Rakel (Anita Björk) tells of receiving a visit from a former lover (Jarl Kulle); Marta (Maj-Britt Nilsson) of agreeing to marry a painter (Birger Malmsten) only after having his child; and Karin (Eva Dahlbeck) of being stuck with her husband (Gunnar Björnstrand) in an elevator, where they talk intimately for the first time in years. Making dexterous use of flashbacks, the engaging WAITING WOMEN is a veritable seedbed of Ingmar Bergman themes, ranging from aspiring young love to the fear of loneliness, with the finale a masterpiece of chamber comedy.
	Walkabout Directed by Nicolas Roeg 1971 United Kingdom Duration: 1:40:40	A young sister (Jenny Agutter) and brother (Luc Roeg) are abandoned in the harsh Australian outback and must learn to cope in the natural world, without their usual comforts, in this hypnotic masterpiece from Nicolas Roeg. Along the way, they meet a young aborigine (David Gulpilil) on his "walkabout," a rite of passage in which adolescent boys are initiated into manhood by journeying into the wilderness alone. WALKABOUT is a thrilling adventure as well as a provocative rumination on time and civilization.
	Walk Cheerfully Directed by Yasujiro Ozu 1930 Japan Duration: 1:36:03	In Yasujiro Ozu's WALK CHEERFULLY, which gracefully combines elements of the relationship drama and the gangster story, small-time hood Kenji, a.k.a. Ken the Knife, wants to go straight for good girl Yasue but finds that starting over isn't as simple as it sounds. This was the Japanese master's first true homage to American crime movies, and it is a fleetly told, expressively shot work of humor and emotional depth.
	Walk for Me Directed by Elegance Bratton Starring Aaliyah King, Yolonda Ross, Brenda Holder 2016 United States Duration: 11:34	A teenager explores her transgender identity through voguing and ball culture—but is her mom ready to accept her for who she is?
	Walking a Tightrope Directed by Nico Papatakis Starring Michel Piccoli, Lilah Dadi, Polly Walker 1991 France Duration: 1:59:38	Based on an incident in the life of director Nico Papatakis’s former friend and collaborator Jean Genet, WALKING A TIGHTROPE casts Michel Piccoli as Marcel Spadice, a thinly veiled version of the celebrated gay writer and provocateur, whose infatuation with an Arab-German circus worker (Lilah Dadi) leads him to try to turn the young man into the world’s greatest tightrope walker. When Marcel begins to pursue a new object of desire, however, his callousness unleashes tragedy.
	Walpurgis Night Directed by Gustaf Edgren 1935 Sweden Duration: 1:19:15	Meant as a day to celebrate the arrival of spring, Walpurgis Night brings about a chilly course of events for Johan, his wife Clary, and his secretary Lena. An unhappy marriage leaves this trio out in the cold.
	Wanda Directed by Barbara Loden Starring Barbara Loden, Michael Higgins 1970 United States Duration: 1:43:13	Directed by Barbara Loden • 1970 • United States Starring Barbara Loden, Michael Higgins With her first and only feature film—a hard-luck drama she wrote, directed, and starred in—Barbara Loden turned in a groundbreaking work of American independent cinema, bringing to life a kind of character seldom seen on-screen. Set amid a soot-choked Pennsylvania landscape, and shot in an intensely intimate vérité style, the film takes up with distant and soft-spoken Wanda (Loden), who has left her husband, lost custody of her children, and now finds herself alone, drifting between dingy bars and motels, where she falls prey to a series of callous men—including a bank robber who ropes her into his next criminal scheme. An until now difficult-to-see masterpiece that has nonetheless exerted an outsize influence on generations of artists and filmmakers, WANDA is a compassionate and wrenching portrait of a woman stranded on society’s margins.

	The Wandering Princess Directed by Kinuyo Tanaka Starring Machiko Kyo, Eiji Funakoshi, Yomei Ryu 1960 Japan Duration: 1:42:45	Kinuyo Tanaka’s first film in both color and CinemaScope is an epic about a woman caught in the torrents of history.

With the story of Ryuko’s enmeshment in the Japanese occupation of Manchuria, Tanaka realizes with startling depth her ambition to relate a historical saga from a critical female perspective.

	The Warped Ones Directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara 1960 Japan Duration: 1:15:32	A juvenile delinquent gets out of the pen and immediately embarks on a rampage of untethered anger, most of it directed at the girlfriend of the journalist who helped send him up. Shot through with the same kind of bebop bravado that Godard was experimenting with half a world away, the anarchic descent into amoral madness that is The Warped Ones (Kyonetsu no kisetsu) sounded a lost generation's cry for help and was one of the films that kicked off Japan's cinematic sixties with a bang.
	Warrendale Directed by Allan King 1967 Canada Duration: 1:40:54	For his enthralling first feature, Allan King took his cameras to a home for emotionally disturbed young people. Situated inside the facility like a fly on the wall, we witness the full spectrum of emotions displayed by twelve fascinating children and the caregivers trying to nurture and guide them. The stunning WARRENDALE won the Prix d'art et d'essai at Cannes and a special documentary award from the National Society of Film Critics.
	The War Room Directed by Chris Hegedus and D. A. Pennebaker 1993 United States Duration: 1:36:01	The 1992 presidential election was a triumph not only for Bill Clinton but also for the new breed of strategists who guided him to the White House—and changed the face of politics in the process. For this thrilling, behind-closed-doors account of that campaign, renowned cinema verité filmmakers Chris Hegedus and D. A. Pennebaker captured the brainstorming and bull sessions of Clinton’s crack team of consultants—especially James Carville and George Stephanopoulos, who became media stars in their own right as they injected a savvy, youthful spirit and spontaneity into the process of campaigning. Fleet-footed and entertaining, THE WAR ROOM is a vivid document of a political moment whose truths (“It’s the economy, stupid!”) still ring in our ears.
	Warsha Directed by Dania Bdeir Starring Khansa, Kamal Saleh, Hassan Aqqoul 2022 Lebanon Duration: 16:01	Queer alienation gives way to an ecstatic experience of liberation in Dania Bdeir’s dazzlingly conceived short, a Sundance prizewinner. One morning, Mohammad (Khansa), a Syrian migrant working construction in Beirut, volunteers to operate one of his site’s tallest and most notoriously dangerous cranes. There, high above the city and away from the eyes of others, he is able to live out his passionate truth in a cathartic explosion of movement and music that speaks to his complex identity as a queer Muslim far from home.
	Watch Your Left Directed by René Clément 1936 France Duration: 13:43	This thirteen-minute short, written by Jacques Tati and directed by René Clément, stars Tati as a farmer who dreams of becoming a boxer but is ill-prepped when he gets his wish.
	Water Directed by Dick Clement Starring Michael Caine, Valerie Perrine, Bill Persky 1985 United Kingdom Duration: 1:37:48	A typically sharp comic performance from Michael Caine is at the center of this nutty satire of Britain’s colonial exploits (partially inspired by the then-recent invasion of the Falkland Islands). On the fictional West Indies island of Cascara, a relaxed British colony, easygoing governor Baxter Thwaites (Caine) enjoys a laid-back lifestyle—until the discovery of an untapped reserve of valuable mineral water suddenly makes the island a hot commodity and throws the community into chaos. Look out for producer George Harrison and his friends Ringo Starr and Eric Clapton in a musical cameo as the members of the Singing Rebel’s Band.
	Water Lilies Directed by Céline Sciamma Starring Pauline Acquart, Louise Blachère, Adèle Haenel 2007 France Duration: 1:24:06	During a summer in Paris, a love triangle develops between three girls in this provocative and perceptive portrait of teen angst and nascent sexuality. The awkward Anne, the bad girl Floriane, and the gawky Marie play an intense game of emotional chess as they wrestle with love, friendship, and their desire for one another.
	Watermelon Man Directed by Melvin Van Peebles Starring Godfrey Cambridge, Estelle Parsons, Howard Caine 1970 United States Duration: 1:39:57	Melvin Van Peebles puts a spin on Franz Kafka’s THE METAMORPHOSIS in this provocative racial satire. Bigoted white insurance salesman Jeff Gerber (Godfrey Cambridge) has it made: he’s got a loving wife, two adorable kids, and a comfortable suburban home. But when Jeff wakes up one morning to discover that he has inexplicably turned into a Black man, he soon finds out what it means to live as an outsider in a racist society.
	The Watermelon Woman Directed by Cheryl Dunye Starring Cheryl Dunye, Guinevere Turner, Valarie Walker 1996 United States Duration: 1:25:03	The wry, incisive debut feature by Cheryl Dunye gave cinema something bracingly new and groundbreaking: a vibrant representation of Black lesbian identity by a Black lesbian filmmaker. Dunye stars as Cheryl, a video-store clerk and aspiring director whose interest in forgotten Black actresses leads her to investigate an obscure 1930s performer known as the Watermelon Woman, whose story proves to have surprising resonances with Cheryl’s own life as she navigates a new relationship with a white girlfriend (Guinevere Turner). Balancing breezy romantic comedy with a serious inquiry into the history of Black and queer women in Hollywood, THE WATERMELON WOMAN slyly rewrites long-standing constructions of race and sexuality on-screen, introducing an important voice in American cinema.
	Watership Down Directed by Martin Rosen Starring John Hurt, Richard Briers, Michael Graham-Cox 1978 United Kingdom Duration: 1:32:09	With this passion project, screenwriter-producer-director Martin Rosen brilliantly achieved what had been thought nearly impossible: a faithful big-screen adaptation of Richard Adams’s classic British dystopian novel about a community of rabbits under terrible threat from modern forces. With its naturalistic hand-drawn animation, dreamily expressionistic touches, gorgeously bucolic background design, and elegant voice work from such superb English actors as John Hurt, Ralph Richardson, Richard Briers, and Denholm Elliott, WATERSHIP DOWN is an emotionally arresting, dark-toned allegory about freedom amid political turmoil.
	We All Loved Each Other So Much Directed by Ettore Scola Starring Nino Manfredi, Vittorio Gassman, Stefania Sandrelli 1974 Italy Duration: 2:04:52	This beloved classic of commedia all’italiana is a beautifully bittersweet tale of friendship, nostalgia, and cinema. Over the course of thirty years, we follow the lives of three friends—Antonio (Nino Manfredi), Gianni (Vittorio Gassman), and Nicola (Stefano Satta Flores)—who go from fighting the Nazis together during World War II to experiencing the full spectrum of life’s joys and disappointments as they see their once-strong bond tested by love, politics, and time. Studded with allusions to Italian film history—including a cameo from Federico Fellini and Marcello Mastroianni recreating the famed Trevi Fountain sequence from LA DOLCE VITA—WE ALL LOVED EACH OTHER SO MUCH is a film as rich in humor and melancholy as life itself.
	Wedding Rehearsal Directed by Alexander Korda 1932 United Kingdom Duration: 1:19:16	A London bachelor (Roland Young) must marry off the women to whom his grandmother introduces him in hopes of avoiding matrimony.

	A Wedding Suit Directed by Abbas Kiarostami Starring Mohammad Fassih, Mehdi Nekoueï, Massoud Zand 1976 Iran Duration: 59:57	In a trilevel shopping arcade, a teenage boy who works for a tailor is besieged by two other boys who want to borrow a new suit to wear on a social outing before it’s turned over to its owner. One of the most accomplished and intricately plotted of Abbas Kiarostami’s Kanoon films, this sharply observed drama contains suspense, satire, an undercurrent of violence, and even a magic show.
	Weekend Directed by Jean-Luc Godard Starring Mireille Darc, Jean Yanne 1967 France Duration: 1:44:07	This scathing late-sixties satire from Jean-Luc Godard is one of cinema’s great anarchic works. Determined to collect an inheritance from a dying relative, a bourgeois couple travel across the French countryside while civilization crashes and burns around them. Featuring a justly famous sequence in which the camera tracks along a seemingly endless traffic jam, and rich with historical and literary references, WEEKEND is a surreally funny and disturbing call for revolution, a depiction of society reverting to savagery, and—according to the credits—the end of cinema itself.
	Weekend Directed by Andrew Haigh Starring Tom Cullen, Chris New 2011 United Kingdom Duration: 1:37:11	Directed by Andrew Haigh • 2011 • United Kingdom Starring Tom Cullen, Chris New This sensual, remarkably observed, beautifully acted wonder is the breakout feature from British writer-director-editor Andrew Haigh. Rarely has a film been as honest about sexuality—in both depiction and discussion—as this tale of a one-night stand that develops into a weekend-long idyll for two very different young men (exciting screen newcomers Tom Cullen and Chris New) in the English Midlands. It’s an emotionally naked film that’s at once an invaluable snapshot of the complexities of contemporary gay living and a universally resonant portrait of a love affair.
	A Week’s Vacation Directed by Bertrand Tavernier Starring Nathalie Baye, Gérard Lanvin, Flore Fitzgerald 1980 France Duration: 1:43:49	On the verge of an emotional collapse, schoolteacher Laurence (Nathalie Baye) takes a week off from work in order to figure out her life, reconnecting with friends and family as she wrestles with everything from whether she should continue with her job to whether she should have a child with her boyfriend.

	We Knew How Beautiful They Were, These Islands Directed by Younes Ben Slimane 2021 France Duration: 20:37	At night, a stranger digs graves, buries the dead, and watches over them.

	Welcome Danger Directed by Clyde Bruckman Starring Harold Lloyd, Barbara Kent, Noah Young 1929 United States Duration: 1:54:55	Harold Lloyd’s first talkie was originally filmed as a silent feature, only to be largely reshot to capitalize on the nascent sound technology. Here, the ever hapless everyman plays Harold Bledsoe, a timid botany student who, due to his late father’s position as San Francisco police chief, is called in to help investigate a growing crime wave in the city’s Chinatown, leading him on a wild slapstick goose chase to catch a shadowy crime boss.
	Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael Directed by Jim Abrahams Starring Winona Ryder, Jeff Daniels, Laila Robins 1990 United States Duration: 1:36:07	In a role practically tailor-made for her brand of angsty outsider cool, Winona Ryder stars as Dinky Bossetti, a fifteen-year-old antisocial goth girl in small-town Ohio whose rebellious attitude makes her an outcast at school. When she discovers that the town’s most illustrious former resident, Roxy Carmichael—who left home fifteen years ago to pursue fame in Hollywood—is set to return, Dinky sees a chance to leave her misfit life behind once and for all.
	Welcome II the Terrordome Directed by Ngozi Onwurah Starring Suzette Llewellyn, Saffron Burrows, Felix Joseph 1995 United Kingdom Duration: 1:30:01	Ngozi Onwurah’s radically ahead-of-its-time Afrofuturist vision WELCOME II THE TERRORDOME made history as the first theatrically distributed British feature directed by a Black woman. Nevertheless, it was largely dismissed upon its release by critics unable to see the urgency in its evocation of a gritty dystopia in which Black people have been relegated to living in a slum called the Terrordome, where simmering racial tension threatens to boil over in the wake of a young boy’s death. Twenty-five years later, Onwurah’s fusion of political commentary and genre spectacle looks positively prescient, and her ability to build an entire cosmology that connects the history of slavery to present-day police brutality is nothing less than visionary.
	Welcome Mr. Marshall! Directed by Luis García Berlanga Starring Lolita Sevilla, Manolo Morán, José Isbert 1952 Spain Duration: 1:19:21	A distant land shrouded in myth and rumor, America looms large in the cultural imagination of a quiet Castilian village, whose impressionable inhabitants dream of benefitting from the country’s postwar plans to aid Europe. When word gets out that a delegation of U.S. diplomats plans to pay a visit, the townsfolk of Villar del Río waste no time in erecting a fantasy worthy of Uncle Sam’s favor, transforming their austere surroundings into a tourist-friendly vision of Andalusian kitsch. With a sly irreverence that led Cannes juror Edward G. Robinson to declare it un-American, Luis García Berlanga’s international breakthrough lampoons the smoke and mirrors that shape national identities from both within and without.
	Welcome, or No Trespassing Directed by Elem Klimov 1964 Soviet Union Duration: 1:13:31	Children fight against the strict rules and regulations they face during their time in a Communist Young Pioneer camp.

	Werckmeister Harmonies Directed by Béla Tarr and Ágnes Hranitzky Starring Lars Rudolph, Peter Fitz, Hanna Schygulla 2000 Hungary Duration: 2:26:49	This mesmeric parable of societal collapse is an enigma of transcendent visual, philosophical, and mystical resonance. Adapted from a novel by László Krasznahorkai, WERCKMEISTER HARMONIES unfolds in an unknown time in an unnamed village, where, one day, a mysterious circus—complete with an enormous stuffed whale and a shadowy, demagogue-like figure known as the Prince—arrives and appears to awaken a kind of madness in the citizens that builds inexorably toward violence. In thirty-nine hypnotic long takes engraved in ghostly black and white, auteur Béla Tarr and codirector-editor Ágnes Hranitzky conjure an apocalyptic vision of dreamlike dread and fathomless beauty.
	We’re Leaving Directed by Zachary Treitz Starring Rusty Blanton, Veronica Blanton, David Maloney 2011 United States Duration: 12:41	Facing eviction, trailer-park resident Rusty Blanton is given thirty days to find a new home for himself, his wife, and their nineteen-year-old pet alligator, Chopper.

	Westfront 1918 Directed by G. W. Pabst 1930 Germany Duration: 1:36:30	G. W. Pabst brought the war movie into a new era with his first sound film, a mercilessly realistic depiction of the nightmare that scarred a generation, in Germany and beyond. Digging into the trenches with four infantrymen stationed in France in the final months of World War I, Pabst illustrates the harrowing ordeals of battle with unprecedented naturalism, as the men are worn away in body and spirit by firefights, shelling, and the disillusion that greets them on the home front. Long unavailable, the newly restored WESTFRONT 1918 is a visceral, sobering antiwar statement that is as urgent today as when it was made.
	West Indies: The Fugitive Slaves of Liberty Directed by Med Hondo Starring Robert Liensol, Roland Bertin, Hélène Vincent 1979 Mauritania Duration: 1:56:05	Mauritanian French director Med Hondo’s staggering WEST INDIES: THE FUGITIVE SLAVES OF LIBERTY is a sui generis amalgam of historical epic, Broadway revue, Brechtian theater, and joyous agitprop. Using an enormous mock slave ship as the film’s only soundstage, Hondo mounts intricately choreographed reenactments and dance numbers across his multipurpose set to investigate more than three centuries of imperialist oppression. The story traverses the West Indies, Europe, and the Middle Passage; jumps across time to depict the effects of official French policy upon the colonized, the enslaved, and their descendants; and surveys the actions and motivations of the resigned, the revolutionary, and the powers that be (along with their lackeys). No mere extravaganza, WEST INDIES is a call to arms for a spectacular yet critical cinematic reimagining of an entire people’s history of resistance and struggle.
	West Is West Directed by David Rathod Starring Ashutosh Gowariker, Heidi Carpenter, Pearl Padamsee 1987 United States Duration: 1:20:38	Handsome and broke, Vikram (played by Ashutosh Gowariker, future director of the Oscar-nominated LAGAAN: ONCE UPON A TIME IN INDIA) arrives from Bombay to find his college plans have fallen through. Exploring exotic San Francisco, he falls for Sue (Heidi Carpenter), a feisty, bohemian artist. With his visa running out, Vikram resorts to desperate measures to stay in the country—including a hilariously bungled burglary and an impromptu curbside wedding.
	We Were Lost in Our Country Directed by Tuan Andrew Nguyen 2019 Australia Duration: 38:08	The large-scale painting known as the Ngurrara Canvas II is many things to many people. But to Australia’s Aboriginal Ngurrara people it is a map, made from memory, of a place where their ancestors lived for over sixty thousand years and a direct connection to their land. Through a past-and-present history of the canvas, WE WERE LOST IN OUR COUNTRY explores questions of personal agency, inherited trauma, and intergenerational transmission, opening up a complex dialogue between ancestors and descendants.
	We Will Always Be Here Directed by Monique Walton 2013 United States Duration: 19:02	Monique Walton’s documentary short interweaves stories from residents, historians, and grassroots activists in a visual essay about the transforming landscape of the rapidly expanding neighborhood of East Austin.
	What Did the Lady Forget? Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Starring Michiko Kuwano, Tatsuo Saito, Sumiko Kurishima 1937 Japan Duration: 1:11:43	Yasujiro Ozu puts a witty spin on his recurring theme of generational clash in this sophisticated comedy, which bears the unmistakable influence of Ernst Lubitsch. When modern, liberated Setsuko (Michiko Kuwano) visits her meek uncle Komiya (Tatsuo Saito), it’s not long before she sets about meddling in his relationship with his domineering socialite wife (Sumiko Kurishima), turning the gender dynamics in the household upside down. Gently satirizing the affectations of Japan’s upper class, Ozu crafts one of his brightest and lightest works.
	What Happened to This City? Directed by Deepa Dhanraj 1986 India Duration: 1:35:19	This pioneering work takes communal violence between Hindus and Muslims in 1984 as its starting point, gaining immense political force through its complexity. The film’s historical perspective is provided by a thorough commentary, illuminating the ways in which political power dynamics, economic relations, and urban poverty intersect with violence. The immediacy achieved by filming unfolding conflict is juxtaposed with calm observations of the devastating consequences of living one’s life during a state of emergency, creating a lyricism that makes the film much more than just worthy reportage.
	What Have They Done to Your Daughters? Directed by Massimo Dallamano Starring Claudio Cassinelli, Giovanna Ralli, Farley Granger 1974 Italy Duration: 1:30:52	In 1972, director Massimo Dallamano broke new ground in the giallo genre with the harrowing WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE? only to follow it up with this even darker quasi-sequel. A teenage girl is found hanging from the rafters of a privately rented attic, pregnant, and violated.

	What’s a Nice Girl Like You Doing In a Place Like This? Directed by Martin Scorsese Starring Zeph Michaelis, Mimi Stark, Sarah Braveman 1963 United States Duration: 10:06	This giddily experimental student film by Martin Scorsese employs a jumble of freewheeling optical effects as it tells the surreal story of a man who becomes increasingly obsessed with a picture hanging on his wall.
	What’s Up Connection Directed by Masashi Yamamoto Starring Reiko Arai, Tse Wai-Kit, Li Cheong 1990 Japan Duration: 2:01:41	When Hong Kong teenager Chi Gau Shin (Tse Wai-Kit) wins a trip to Japan, he begins a journey that takes him from his small fishing village to Tokyo by way of Kamagasaki—the so-called slums of Osaka. On the way, he connects with a barely competent tour guide named Kumi and the shapeshifting, loudmouthed and lovable thief Akane. Upon returning home with this merry band of schemers, Gau Shin finds his family of resourceful counterfeiters on the verge of expropriation: a multinational conglomerate led by a ruthless Japanese developer has found the village, and is determined to raze it to build the new center of world trade! A breathless, kaleidoscopic evocation of a specific pan-Asian cultural experience as the 1990s drew near, this rare bilingual Japan–Hong Kong coproduction unfolds as part unhinged globalization mini-epic, part fringe documentary, as director Masashi Yamamoto brings his project—of capturing beauty and resilience in the margins of capital—to its maximalist apex.
	When Angels Fall Directed by Roman Polanski 1959 Poland Duration: 20:55	Director Roman Polanski got the idea for his senior thesis from an article about a lavatory attendant who claimed to have had a mystical vision. “A lavatory attendant’s life seemed to epitomize vacuity, drudgery, monotony,” he recalled in his autobiography. “Nobody would ever . . . conceive of her having had a life imbued with passion and drama.”
	When a Woman Ascends the Stairs Directed by Mikio Naruse Starring Hideko Takamine, Masayuki Mori, Reiko Dan 1960 Japan Duration: 1:51:25	WHEN A WOMAN ASCENDS THE STAIRS might be Japanese filmmaker Mikio Naruse’s finest hour, a delicate, devastating study of a woman, Keiko (played heartbreakingly by Hideko Takamine), who works as a bar hostess in Tokyo’s very modern postwar Ginza district, who entertains businessmen after work. Sly, resourceful, but trapped, Keiko comes to embody the conflicts and struggles of a woman trying to establish her independence in a male-dominated society. WHEN A WOMAN ASCENDS THE STAIRS shows the largely unsung yet widely beloved master Naruse at his most socially exacting and profoundly emotional.
	When It Rains Directed by Charles Burnett 1995 United States Duration: 13:25	Charles Burnett paints a jazz- and poetry-inflected portrait of African American community and resilience via the story of a mother who enlists a musician’s help when she is evicted on New Year’s Day.

Full of surrealist flights of fancy and charmingly oddball touches, Sara Driver’s second (and to date last) narrative feature is a DIY delight graced with an anthemic score by the Clash’s Joe Strummer and the dreamy cinematography of the great Robby Müller.
	When We Were Kings Directed by Leon Gast Starring Muhammad Ali 1996 United States Duration: 1:27:28	In 1974, Leon Gast traveled to Africa to film Zaïre 74, a music festival planned to accompany an unprecedented sports spectacle: the Rumble in the Jungle, in which late-career underdog Muhammad Ali would contend with the younger powerhouse George Foreman for the boxing heavyweight championship title—“a fight between two Blacks in a Black nation, organized by Blacks,” as a Kinshasa billboard put it. When the main event was delayed, extending Ali’s stay in Africa, Gast wound up amassing a treasure trove of footage, observing the wildly charismatic athlete training for one of the toughest bouts of his career while basking in his role as Black America’s proud ambassador to postcolonial Africa. Two decades in the making, WHEN WE WERE KINGS features interviews with Norman Mailer and George Plimpton that illustrate the sensational impact of the fight, rounding out an Academy Award–winning portrait of Ali that captures his charm, grace, and defiance.
	Where Are We? Our Trip Through America Directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman 1992 United States Duration: 1:12:25	Academy Award–winning documentary filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman take a journey through unfamiliar lands—in their own country. Having spent most of their lives on one coast or the other, they wondered what they could learn from the people in between. Piling into a van with a film crew, the pair connect with ordinary Americans who talk sometimes eloquently, often poignantly about their lives, hopes, and dreams. Made at a time when the country was sharply divided over the Gulf War and LGBTQ issues, the film remains a timely document of two filmmakers trying to find common ground with people from different backgrounds than their own.
	Where Is the Friend’s House? Directed by Abbas Kiarostami 1987 Iran Duration: 1:23:23	The first film in Abbas Kiarostami’s sublime, interlacing KOKER TRILOGY takes a simple premise—a boy searches for the home of his classmate, whose school notebook he has accidentally taken—and transforms it into a miraculous, child’s-eye adventure of the everyday. As our young hero zigzags determinedly across two towns, aided (and sometimes misdirected) by those he encounters, his quest becomes both a revealing portrait of rural Iranian society in all its richness and complexity and a touching parable about the meaning of personal responsibility. Sensitive and profound, WHERE IS THE FRIEND’S HOUSE? is shot through with all the beauty, tension, and wonder a single day can contain.
	Where Now Are the Dreams of Youth? Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Starring Ureo Egawa, Kinuyo Tanaka, Tatsuo Saito 1932 Japan Duration: 1:25:36	In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Yasujiro Ozu made a string of comedies dealing with student life, the last of which, WHERE NOW ARE THE DREAMS OF YOUTH?, finds the director exploring increasingly complex themes of class and labor.

	Where the World Meets Directed by Hannu Leminen 1952 Finland Duration: 1:41:32	Part one of Director Hannu Leminen's account of the Olympic Games Helsinki 1952, with its fierce patriotism and its sense of a nation welcoming the world, is redolent of the period, coming as it did only twelve years after the end of Finland's war with the Soviet Union, and seven years after the end of World War II. WHERE THE WORLD MEETS focuses on the opening ceremony and track & field events.
	The White Angel Directed by Raffaello Matarazzo 1955 Italy Duration: 1:40:04	In The White Angel,, Raffaello Matarazzo's sequel to his blockbuster Nobody's Children, the perpetually put-upon Guido and Luisa (Amedeo Nazzari and Yvonne Sanson) return for a new round of trials and tribulations. This time, the reversals of fortune are even more insanely ornate, a plot twist involving doppelgängers beats Vertigo to the punch by three years, and the whole thing climaxes with a jaw-dropping women-in-prison set piece.
	The White Balloon Directed by Jafar Panahi Starring Aida Mohammadkhani, Mohsen Kafili, Fereshteh Sadre Orafaiy 1995 Iran Duration: 1:24:49	Jafar Panahi’s revelatory debut feature is a child’s-eye adventure in which a young girl’s quest to buy a goldfish leads her on a detour-filled journey through the streets of Tehran on the eve of the Iranian New Year celebration. Cowritten by Panahi with his mentor Abbas Kiarostami, this beguiling, prizewinning fable unfolds in documentary-like real time as it wrings unexpected comedy, suspense, and wonder from its seemingly simple premise.
	The White Death of the Black Wizard Directed by Rodrigo Ribeiro-Andrade 2020 Brazil Duration: 10:26	Memories of Brazil’s past of slavery overflow into ethereal landscapes and harrowing sounds. This intimate sensory journey reflects on the silencing and invisibility of Black people in the diaspora.
	White Echo Directed by Chloë Sevigny Starring Hailey Gates, Eleonore Hendricks, Kate Lyn Sheil 2019 United States Duration: 15:11	Five women, a ouija board, and a house with a dark secret: Chloë Sevigny imbues this atmospherically enigmatic ghost story with a bracing feminist jolt.
	White Mane Directed by Albert Lamorisse Starring Alain Emery, Laurent Roche, Clan-Clan 1953 France Duration: 40:09	Possessed of the timeless perfection of a fable, this tale about the unique bond between children and animals is Albert Lamorisse’s ode to the awe-inspiring majesty of nature. Amid the vast flatlands of the Camargue in the South of France lives White Mane, a magnificent wild stallion who refuses to be broken by men and instead forms a connection with a young boy, with whom he embarks on a daring quest for freedom. Fully capturing the rugged beauty of its marsh setting, this extraordinarily photographed treasure of children’s cinema—which won the Grand Prix for Best Short Film at the Cannes Film Festival—speaks to the hearts of all creatures yearning to live untamed.
	White Material Directed by Claire Denis Starring Isabelle Huppert, Christophe Lambert, Bankolé Isaach De 2009 France Duration: 1:45:54	Directed by Claire Denis • 2009 • France Starring Isabelle Huppert, Christophe Lambert, Bankolé Isaach De In WHITE MATERIAL, the great contemporary French filmmaker Claire Denis, known for her restless, intimate dramas, introduces an unforgettably crazed character. Played by a ferocious Isabelle Huppert, Maria is an entitled white woman living in Africa, desperately unwilling to give up her family’s crumbling coffee plantation despite the civil war closing in on her. Created with Denis’ signature full-throttle visual style, which places the viewer at the center of the maelstrom, WHITE MATERIAL is a gripping evocation of the death throes of European colonialism and a fascinating look at a woman lost in her own mind.
	White Rock Directed by Tony Maylam 1977 United Kingdom Duration: 1:17:21	British documentary film-maker and producer Tony Maylam invigorated the sports documentary genre with White Rock, an idiosyncratic and utterly engaging account of the XII Olympic Winter Games Innsbruck 1976. He did so by placing music front and center, and by using Hollywood star James Coburn as a "guide for the uninitiated."
	The White Stadium Directed by Arnold Fanck and Othmar Gurtner 1928 Switzerland Duration: 2:04:03	THE WHITE STADIUM (Das Weisse Stadion), the film of the II Olympic Winter Games St. Moritz 1928 in Switzerland, holds particular interest because it was directed by Arnold Fanck, a geologist turned filmmaker known for his sumptuous outdoor cinematography and his aesthete's eye for filming natural landscapes. On a technical level, THE WHITE STADIUM exemplifies the rapid progress in Olympic films where cameras and montage are concerned.
	White Vertigo Directed by Giorgio Ferroni 1956 Italy Duration: 1:36:44	WHITE VERTIGO is one of the unexpected jewels of this Olympic films collection. The cinematography is by none other than Aldo Scavarda, who would film L'AVVENTURA for Michelangelo Antonioni three and a half years later. Director Giorgio Ferroni knows how to film the key disciplines, even if they are far removed from his specialties, the sword- and-sandal and pulp fiction genres. The music, by the prolific Angelo Francesco Lavagnino (OTHELLO and CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT), audaciously uses jazz piano to accompany the ice hockey matches, bringing a lyrical mood to a sport that in other Olympic Games documentaries is portrayed in ferocious terms.
	Who Are You, Polly Maggoo? Directed by William Klein 1966 France Duration: 1:41:45	After nearly a decade as American Vogue's most subversive fashion photographer, William Klein made this wild, pseudovérité incursion into the world of Parisian haute couture. Elegant, scathing humor ties together the various strands of this alternately glamorous and grotesque portrait of American in Paris Polly Maggoo (Dorothy MacGowan), an Alice in Wonderland supermodel who becomes the pinup plaything of media hounds and the fragmented fantasy of haunted Prince Igor (Sami Frey). Klein's first fiction film is a daring deflation of cultural pretensions and institutions, dressed up in brilliant black and white.
	Who I Am and What I Want Directed by Chris Shepherd and David Shrigley Starring Kevin Eldon 2005 United Kingdom Duration: 07:48	Appropriately crude hand-drawn animation evokes the manic rantings and ramblings of a singularly self-deluded man.
	Who Saw Her Die? Directed by Aldo Lado Starring George Lazenby, Anita Strindberg, Nicoletta Elmi 1972 Italy Duration: 1:34:27	Former Bond star George Lazenby headlines this classic giallo directed by Aldo Lado—as compelling for its haunting atmosphere, twists, and turns as for its parallels with another great Venetian horror-thriller: Nicolas Roeg’s DON’T LOOK NOW. Sculptor Franco Serpieri (Lazenby) welcomes Roberta (Nicoletta Elmi), his young daughter from a failed marriage, to Venice, unaware that a disturbed child-killer is stalking the city’s canals. When Roberta’s body is found floating face-down in the river, the lives of Franco and his estranged wife Elizabeth (Anita Strindberg) are ripped asunder. Desperate for vengeance, Franco turns detective in a bid to track down his daughter’s killer, and in the process unearths shocking evidence of depravity and corruption which implicates some of the most respected figures in Venetian society.
	Who’s Going to Pay for These Donuts Anyway? Directed by Janice Tanaka 1992 United States Duration: 58:36	Through a brilliant collage of interviews, family photographs, archival footage and personal narration, Japanese American video artist Janice Tanaka documents her search for her father after a forty-year separation. The two reunited when Tanaka found her father living in a halfway house for the mentally ill. Telling the moving story of her search as well as what she discovered about history, cultural identity, memory and family, WHO’S GOING TO PAY FOR THESE DONUTS, ANYWAY? is a rare look at the connections between racism and mental illness.
	Who’s Who Directed by Mike Leigh Starring Richard Kane, Joolia Cappleman, Phil Davis 1979 United Kingdom Duration: 1:16:29	With this caustically observed comedy, Mike Leigh crafted a scathingly funny satire of a group of wealth- and image-obsessed London yuppies. Centering on Alan (Richard Kane)—a social-climbing employee at a brokerage firm who makes no secret of his sycophantic love for the Queen and the British nobility he so desperately wishes to join—and his insufferably pretentious friends, WHO’S WHO is Leigh at his most unsparing and witheringly hilarious.
	Why Can’t I Be Me? Around You Directed by Harrod Blank and Sjoerd Djik 2019 Duration: 1:33:44	When Albuquerque’s Rusty Tidenberg, auto mechanic and drag-racing aficionado, came out as transgender, she began a remarkable personal journey through identity and self-discovery. Followed for eight years by filmmaker Harrod Blank (son of Les Blank), Rusty guides us through the aftermath of her transition, as growing acceptance among her straight-talking Southwest community still doesn’t ease her romantic and professional woes. Interwoven with lively tales of gender-nonconforming individuals in the art-car community of which Blank is a part, WHY CAN’T I BE ME? AROUND YOU is a sensitive and unpredictable love letter to people who fight to be unapologetically themselves.
	Why Worry? Directed by Fred Newmeyer and Sam Taylor Starring Harold Lloyd, Jobyna Ralston, John Aasen 1923 United States Duration: 1:03:31	Seeking a cure for his multitude of mostly imaginary ailments, wealthy hypochondriac Harold Van Pelham (Harold Lloyd) takes a tropical vacation to the South American island of “Paradiso.” There, rather than the rest and relaxation he was expecting, he finds himself in the middle of a political revolution, winds up in jail, and joins forces with the amiable giant Colosso (the towering John Aasen, who was cast through a nationwide search for an actor of proper stature) to try to quell the unrest. The last of the features Harold Lloyd made with producer Hal Roach, WHY WORRY? succeeds as both a wildly inventive slapstick showcase and an almost surreal satire of American interventionism. Please be advised: this film contains offensive racial stereotypes.
	The Wicked Lady Directed by Leslie Arliss 1945 United Kingdom Duration: 1:44:18	Margaret Lockwood devours the screen as a tightly wound seventeenth-century beauty with loose morals, who steals her best friend’s wealthy fiancé on the eve of their wedding. And that's only the beginning of this piece of pulp from director Leslie Arliss, there are no depths to which this sinful woman won’t sink. James Mason costars, and nearly steals the movie, as a highwayman with whom our antiheroine becomes entangled. This nasty, subversive treat was the most commercially successful of all the Gainsborough melodramas.
	Wife Directed by Mikio Naruse Starring Mieko Takamine, Ken Uehara, Rentaro Mikuni 1953 Japan Duration: 1:36:06	One of six films that director Mikio Naruse adapted from the novels of Fumiko Hayashi, WIFE is an incisive, unsparing portrait of a decade-old marriage in the process of disintegrating. Opening and closing with the same sequence of the husband (Ken Uehara) silently leaving for work, the real focus of the story—as so often in Naruse’s films—is the wife (Mieko Takamine), who resorts to desperate measures to try and hold her marriage together, even after learning of his infidelity. What plays out is a remarkably clear-eyed domestic tragedy that manages to also convey the greater social stresses of life in postwar Japan.
	Wild 90 Directed by Norman Mailer 1968 United States Duration: 1:21:56	Norman Mailer's first feature filmmaking effort stars the director and his two longtime collaborators Buzz Farbar and Mickey Knox as a trio of gangsters holed up in a ramshackle New York apartment, drinking, braying, and fighting. Mailer once claimed that he viewed making movies as "free psychoanalysis," and this bristly, stripped-down experiment in improvisation shows a filmmaker baring himself for all to see.
	Wild Geese Directed by Shirô Toyoda 1953 Japan Duration: 1:44:15	Hideko Takamine stars as Otama, a young woman who is forced to become a mistress to a married, middle-aged man in order to support her father, in this meiji period drama directed by Shiro Toyoda.
	A Wild Patience Has Taken Me Here Directed by Érica Sarmet Starring Zélia Duncan, Bruna Linzmeyer, Lorre Motta 2021 Brazil Duration: 26:23	This formally innovative, euphorically sexy short travels through the queer Brazil of past, present, and future as it traces an encounter between an older butch biker and a band of young polyamorous lesbians who share an ecstatic weekend together.
	Wild Strawberries Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Victor Sjöström, Bibi Andersson, Ingrid Thulin 1957 Sweden Duration: 1:32:25	Traveling to accept an honorary degree, Professor Isak Borg—masterfully played by the veteran filmmaker and actor Victor Sjöström—is forced to face his past, come to terms with his faults, and make peace with the inevitability of his approaching death. Through flashbacks and fantasies, dreams and nightmares, WILD STRAWBERRIES dramatizes one man’s remarkable voyage of self-discovery. This richly humane masterpiece, full of iconic imagery, is one of Ingmar Bergman’s most widely acclaimed and influential films.
	Wild Wheels Directed by Harrod Blank 1992 Duration: 1:04:04	WILD WHEELS is filmmaker Harrod Blank’s comic and revealing exploration of art cars —customized automobiles that reflect the individualistic spirit of their drivers. Traveling across the U.S. in his own wildly decorated VW bug, Blank discovers a memorable array of real-life characters obsessed with transforming their cars into mobile works of art. The result is an engaging and irresistibly eccentric deep dive into the heart of a truly unique, all-American subculture.
	Williamswood Directed by Ayoka Chenzira Starring Lawine Torren, Eva Forstenlechner, Christoph Eichinger 1992 Austria Duration: 16:00	An experimental short explores mechanization and the human form.
	Will-o’-the-Wisp Directed by João Pedro Rodrigues Starring Mauro Costa, André Cabral, Joel Branco 2022 France Duration: 1:07:38	A rapturously queer, ecologically minded, antiroyalist musical fantasia, WILL-O’-THE-WISP finds the ever-audacious João Pedro Rodrigues (The Ornithologist) at his most playfully and pleasurably subversive. It’s the year 2069 (nice), and, on his deathbed, his royal highness Alfredo (Joel Branco/Mauro Costa), king without a crown, is taken back to his distant youth via euphorically erotic memories of his time as a fireman. Dismayed by the ever-more-frequent forest fires caused by climate change, the young king-to-be joins a brigade of blaze-extinguishing beefcakes with a penchant for sexy art-historical role-play. An encounter with veteran firefighter Afonso (André Cabral) opens a new chapter in the lives of the two young men, igniting both burning desire and a determination to change the status quo.
	Windowbreaker Directed by Tze Chun 2006 United States Duration: 11:27	A string of break-ins breeds distrust in a racially mixed neighborhood outside of Boston.
	Windy Day Directed by John Hubley and Faith Hubley Starring Emily Hubley, Georgia Hubley 1968 United States Duration: 09:36	Two little girls explore their views on marriage, death, babies, and love in this gently poignant, Academy Award–nominated idyll suffused with the offhanded wisdom of childhood.
	Wings Directed by Larisa Shepitko 1966 Soviet Union Duration: 1:25:03	For her first feature after graduating from the All-Russian State Institute for Cinematography (VGIK), Larisa Shepitko trained her lens on the fascinating Russian character actress Maya Bulgakova, who gives a marvelous performance as a once heroic Russian fighter pilot now living a quiet, disappointingly ordinary life as a school principal. Subtly portraying one woman's desperation with elegant, spare camera work and casual, fluid storytelling, Shepitko, with Wings, announced herself as an important new voice in Soviet cinema.
	Wings of Desire Directed by Wim Wenders Starring Bruno Ganz, Solveig Dommartin, Peter Falk 1987 Germany Duration: 2:09:56	WINGS OF DESIRE is one of cinema’s loveliest city symphonies. Bruno Ganz is Damiel, an angel perched atop buildings high over Berlin who can hear the thoughts—fears, hopes, dreams—of all the people living below. But when he falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, he is willing to give up his immortality and come back to earth to be with her. Made not long before the fall of the Berlin wall, this stunning tapestry of sounds and images, shot in black and white and color by the legendary Henri Alekan, is movie poetry. And it forever made the name Wim Wenders synonymous with film art.
	Winter Light Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Gunnar Björnstrand, Ingrid Thulin, Max von Sydow 1963 Sweden Duration: 1:21:22	“God, why hast thou forsaken me?” With WINTER LIGHT, Ingmar Bergman explores the search for redemption in a meaningless existence. Small-town pastor Tomas Ericsson (Gunnar Björnstrand) performs his duties mechanically before a dwindling congregation, including his stubbornly devoted lover, Märta (Ingrid Thulin). When he is asked to assuage a troubled parishioner’s (Max von Sydow) debilitating fear of nuclear annihilation, Tomas is terrified to find that he can provide nothing but his own doubt. The beautifully photographed WINTER LIGHT is an unsettling look at the human craving for personal validation in a world seemingly abandoned by God.
	Winter Solstice Directed by Hollis Frampton 1974 United States Duration: 32:59	SUMMER EQUINOX, AUTUMNAL EQUINOX, and WINTER SOLSTICE, all of which appear in Straits of Magellan, make up Hollis Frampton’s film cycle SOLARIUMAGELANI (1974). In each film, Frampton included complementary color leader to represent what is missing from the season. For STRAITS OF MAGELLAN: WINTER SOLSTICE, he once referred to it as “the clear blue of the summer sky.”
	Wise Blood Directed by John Huston Starring Brad Dourif, Ned Beatty, Harry Dean Stanton 1979 United States Duration: 1:46:00	In this acclaimed adaptation of the first novel by legendary Southern writer Flannery O’Connor, John Huston vividly brings to life her poetic world of American eccentricity. Brad Dourif, in an impassioned performance, is Hazel Motes, who, fresh out of the army, attempts to open the first Church Without Christ in the small town of Taulkinham. Populated with inspired performances that seem to spring right from O’Connor’s pages, Huston’s WISE BLOOD is an incisive portrait of spirituality and Evangelicalism, and a faithful, loving evocation of a writer’s vision.
	The Witches Directed by Mauro Bolognini, Vittorio De Sica, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Franco Rossi, and Luchino Visconti Starring Silvana Mangano, Annie Girardot, Massimo Girotti 1967 Italy Duration: 1:51:30	Five of Italy’s greatest directors contributed segments—each starring the divine Silvana Mangano—to this offbeat omnibus gem. Among the highlights: Luchino Visconti’s unsettling study of beauty and jealousy “The Witch Burned Alive”; Pier Paolo Pasolini’s comic tale of matrimony “The Earth Seen from the Moon”; and Vittorio De Sica directing a young Clint Eastwood as Mangano’s husband in “An Evening Like the Others,” inspired by Italian comic books.
	Witchhammer Directed by Otakar Vávra Starring Vladimír Šmeral, Elo Romančík, Josef Kemr 1970 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:47:15	Cowritten by Ester Krumbachová and director Otakar Vávra, this unsettling parable uses seventeenth-century religious hysteria as a potent allegory for the repressive political climate of Soviet-occupied Czechoslovakia. In the 1670s in Moravia, the ruthless inquisitor Boblig von Edelstadt (a real historical figure, played by Vladimír Šmeral) stages a series of sensational witch trials, using persecution, torture, and terror to force women to confess to devil worship. When a local priest (Elo Romančík) speaks out against von Edelstadt, he finds himself caught up in the rapidly escalating frenzy.
	Witch Madness Directed by Faith Hubley 1999 United States Duration: 08:50	Faith Hubley’s abstract animation documents the persecution of women as witches throughout history.
	With Beauty and Sorrow Directed by Masahiro Shinoda 1965 Japan Duration: 1:43:58	When the man who seduced the famous painter Otoko as a teenager--and then wrote a bestselling novel about it--reappears in her life, her pupil--and lesbian lover--hatches a plot to destroy the man and his family.
	Withnail and I Directed by Bruce Robinson Starring Paul McGann, Richard E. Grant, Richard Griffiths 1986 United Kingdom Duration: 1:47:45	London. The 1960s. Two unemployed actors—acerbic, elegantly wasted Withnail (Richard E. Grant) and the anxiety-ridden “I” (Paul McGann)—drown their frustrations in booze, pills, and lighter fluid. When Withnail’s Uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths) offers his cottage, they escape the squalor of their flat for a week in the country. They soon realize they’ve gone on holiday by mistake when their wits—and friendship—are sorely tested by violent downpours, less than hospitable locals, and empty cupboards. An intelligent, superbly acted, and hilarious film, Bruce Robinson’s semi-autobiographical cult favorite is presented here in its complete and uncut version.
	Without Your Interpretation Directed by Ulysses Jenkins 1983 United States Duration: 14:08	Featuring the artist-filmmaker’s regular collaborators Maren Hassinger and Senga Nengudi, this 1983 performance by Ulysses Jenkins issues a forceful condemnation of American indifference to the crises faced by the developing world.
	Witness for the Prosecution Directed by Billy Wilder Starring Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich, Charles Laughton 1957 United States Duration: 1:56:26	Agatha Christie’s masterful stage play gets a brilliantly entertaining screen adaptation courtesy of Billy Wilder, who deftly balances courtroom intrigue and black comedy for a triumph of studio-era craftsmanship. Charles Laughton is a delight as London barrister Sir Wilfrid Robarts, whose job defending the charming but suspicious Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power) against a charge of murder gets a lot harder when Vole’s cold-hearted wife, Christine (Marlene Dietrich), decides to testify against him. To reveal more would be a crime, as the nonstop twists and turns are half the fun of this all-time-classic mystery.
	Wolf’s Hole Directed by Věra Chytilová Starring Miroslav Machácek, Tomás Palatý, Stepánka Cervenková 1987 Czechoslovakia Duration: 1:35:06	Věra Chytilová’s subversive take on the 1980s teen-horror movie assembles a gaggle of bratty adolescents for a mysterious skiing retreat at a snowbound cabin where they find themselves plunged into a sadistic social experiment. WOLF’S HOLE is both a gonzo genre joyride and a blistering allegory for the psychic violence wrought by authoritarian oppression.
	Woman Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita 1948 Japan Duration: 1:07:22	Toshiko (Mitsuko Mito) joins her criminal lover at a beach resort, where he tries to convince her to run away with him. With expressive technique and picturesque on-location shooting, director Keisuke Kinoshita stylishly captures a woman's struggle to free herself from her past.
	The Woman in Question Directed by Anthony Asquith Starring Jean Kent, Dirk Bogarde, John McCallum 1950 United Kingdom Duration: 1:28:15	Fortune teller Agnes Huston (Jean Kent), a.k.a. Madame Astra, has been murdered—but that’s about all anyone can agree on as five different perspectives on the dead woman’s personality come to light during the course of a labyrinthine police investigation. Each suspect remembers her differently. Was Agnes a beautiful, well-bred lady? A slovenly, raging drunk? Can we ever understand the truth of another person’s life? Putting a noir spin on the CITIZEN KANE/RASHOMON–style subjective-flashback structure makes for a delightfully clever and involving whodunnit.
	Woman in the Dunes Directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara Starring Eiji Okada, Kyoko Kishida 1964 Japan Duration: 2:27:17	One of the 1960s’ great international art-house sensations, WOMAN IN THE DUNES (SUNA NO ONNA) was for many the grand unveiling of the surreal, idiosyncratic world of Hiroshi Teshigahara. Eiji Okada plays an amateur entomologist who has left Tokyo to study an unclassified species of beetle found in a vast desert. When he misses his bus back to civilization, he is persuaded to spend the night with a young widow (Kyoko Kishida) in her hut at the bottom of a sand dune. What results is one of cinema’s most unnerving and palpably erotic battles of the sexes, as well as a nightmarish depiction of everyday life as a Sisyphean struggle—an achievement that garnered Teshigahara an Academy Award nomination for best director.
	Woman in Witness Protection Directed by Juzo Itami Starring Nobuko Miyamoto, Masahiko Nishimura, Yuji Murata 1997 Japan Duration: 2:12:01	Juzo Itami’s final film features a dazzling performance from his wife and frequent leading lady Nobuko Miyamoto as Biwako, a middle-aged movie-star diva who is the sole witness to a grisly murder. When she is convinced to play bait for the killer, two cops are assigned to protect her, one who is a superfan and the other who couldn’t care less about who she is. As always, Itami deftly balances tones and genres, moving between comedy and suspense with entertaining ease.
	The Woman Next Door Directed by François Truffaut Starring Gérard Depardieu, Fanny Ardant, Henri Garcin 1981 France Duration: 1:45:40	François Truffaut puts a contemporary spin on the legend of Tristan and Isolde in this Hitchcockian study of guilt and romantic obsession. Happily married Bernard Coudray (Gérard Depardieu) finds his seemingly idyllic suburban existence upended when former lover Mathilde (Fanny Ardant)—also now married—happens to move in next door. Keeping their pasts hidden from their spouses, the pair resume their torrid, turbulent affair—reigniting an old flame that threatens to burn them both.
	A Woman of Paris Directed by Charles Chaplin 1923 United States Duration: 1:21:40	Charles Chaplin made his debut as a director/producer at United Artists with A WOMAN OF PARIS which, as a serious drama, was a major departure from his previous output. He proved that he was just as adept here as he was with comedy, however, presenting a sincerely mature story of the title character (Edna Purviance), who is betrayed and cast aside by her would-be fiance and ends up a "kept" woman in the company of the disreputable Adolphe Menjou.
	Woman of Tokyo Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Starring Yoshiko Okada, Ureo Egawa, Kinuyo Tanaka 1933 Japan Duration: 46:49	In this powerful, compassionate melodrama, Chikako (Yoshiko Okada) works by day as a typist to help put her brother Ryoichi (Ureo Egawa) through school. What he doesn’t know is that by night she also works as a prostitute—a secret that has the power to destroy them both. Shot in just a little over a week, WOMAN OF TOKYO nevertheless abounds with director Yasujiro Ozu’s sophisticated compositional touches (including his emerging use of pillow shots), which enhance the film’s shattering impact.
	A Woman’s Face Directed by Gustaf Molander 1938 Sweden Duration: 1:40:55	Sometimes two faces are better than one. A disfigured woman with a criminal history receives a new lease on life via the wonders of plastic surgery, but her past scars continue to leave an impression.
	A Woman Under the Influence Directed by John Cassavetes Starring Gena Rowlands, Peter Falk 1974 United States Duration: 2:27:02	Directed by John Cassavetes • 1974 • United States Starring Gena Rowlands, Peter Falk This uncompromising portrait of domestic turmoil details the emotional breakdown of a suburban housewife and her family’s struggle to save her from herself. Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk give unforgettably harrowing performances as a married couple deeply in love but unable to express their ardor in terms the other can understand. This landmark American film is perhaps the most beloved work from the extraordinary John Cassavetes.
	WOMEN MAKE FILM: Episode 1 Directed by Mark Cousins 2018 United Kingdom	“Openings” With examples from 1943 to 2013, from China to Iran, Australia to Finland, we look at how to open a film: from mysterious, direct, floating, foreboding beginnings to plunging straight in. All are instructive in how to create an immediate world. “Tone” What’s the tone of a film—not its story or theme, but what its world feels like? Back to Hollywood and director Dorothy Arzner with MERRILY WE GO TO HELL and its glamorous, amorous mood. This chapter looks at the myriad ways in which directors set the tones of their films: delight, anger, poetry, double tones, moral seriousness, caring, edginess, violence.
	WOMEN MAKE FILM: Episode 10 Directed by Mark Cousins 2018 United Kingdom	“Melodrama” A genre as popular as comedy, but what are some of the great scenes in melodrama? Sharmila Tagore narrates a story that takes us from the silent American film SHOES to Kira Muratova’s brilliant CHEKHOV’S MOTIFS to Binka Zhelyazkova’s visually remarkable WE WERE YOUNG. “Sci-Fi” Our look at sci-fi takes us to unusual places, other realms: Kathryn Bigelow, the Wachowski siblings, Patty Jenkins’s WONDER WOMAN, Lori Petty’s TANK GIRL, and the TV version of Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale.” “Horror & Hell” Literal, figurative, political—in Deepa Mehta’s EARTH, Samira Makhmalbaf’s BLACKBOARDS, Jennifer Kent’s horror masterpiece THE BABADOOK, Joanna Hogg’s squirm-inducing ARCHIPELAGO, the Tunisian film THE SILENCES OF THE PALACE, and more.
	WOMEN MAKE FILM: Episode 11 Directed by Mark Cousins 2018 United Kingdom	“Tension” Thrillers, and so much more. We look at gripping scenes in films as diverse as Joel DeMott’s documentary DEMON LOVER DIARY, Kathryn Bigelow’s BLUE STEEL, Carol Morley’s DREAMS OF A LIFE, Mimi Leder’s THE PEACEMAKER, and Marleen Gorris’s remarkable A QUESTION OF SILENCE. “Stasis” Cinema is an action art, isn’t it? Or is it? Directors Angela Schanelec, Nanouk Leopold, Kira Muratova, Chantal Akerman, Sharon Lockhart, and Sabiha Sumar, among others, show us the pleasures and beauties of the held moment. “Leave Out” Movies show us the world, but what happens when they don’t show something? In this chapter, some of the great filmmakers from around the world withhold a moment or a scene, and their films are better for it.
	WOMEN MAKE FILM: Episode 12 Directed by Mark Cousins 2018 United Kingdom	“Reveal” How does Lynne Ramsay do a reveal, in MORVEN CALLAR? How does the great actor-director Kinuyo Tanaka? Or Sarah Polley? Or Alice Rohrwacher? “Memory” As cinema is a kind of time machine, it’s no surprise that it’s great at representing memory. In this chapter we look at rare movie gems about memory directed by filmmakers including Petra Costa, Maria Plyta, Dorota Kędzierzawska, Věra Chytilová, Mai Zetterling, and Mati Diop. “Time” Every filmmaker has to think about time. As this chapter shows, Alice Guy-Blaché, Chantal Akerman, Ildikó Enyedi, Hanna Polak, Marie Menken, and Sally Potter have done so brilliantly.
	WOMEN MAKE FILM: Episode 13 Directed by Mark Cousins 2018 United Kingdom	“Life Inside” Novels are great at describing thoughts, but how do films do so? In this chapter, we see how great directors from France, Ukraine, the UK, the U.S., New Zealand, and Algeria have illuminated inner life. “The Meaning of Life” In the last chapters of our story, we look at the biggest things in life. Here we see how great filmmakers across the world, and from many decades, try to get to the essence of life. “Love” Movies soar with love, but can be too sentimental because of it. In this chapter, we see great Chinese, Sri Lankan, American, Hungarian, Iranian, French, British, Korean, Turkish, and Hong Kong films which avoid the pitfalls.
	WOMEN MAKE FILM: Episode 14 Directed by Mark Cousins 2018 United Kingdom	“Death” The biggest subject in life, the most universal subject—no wonder that Japan’s Kinuyo Tanaka, Canada’s Caroline Leaf, Spain’s Ana Mariscal, Holland’s Paula Van der Oest, and other great filmmakers in this chapter embrace it. “Endings” We begin to end our epic road movie with films from Sonja Heiss, Larisa Shepitko, Ida Lupino, Lizzie Borden, Claire Denis, and Maya Deren. “Song and Dance” End with a song, they say, so our story does. Huang Shuqin, Vera Stroyeva, Margaret Tait, Alice Guy-Blaché, Edith Carlmar, Céline Sciamma, Gilda de Abreu, Joan Micklin Silver, Shirley Clarke, Dorothy Arzner, and Beyonce make music with their films. We conclude our story, our road movie, and end in an unexpected place . . .
	WOMEN MAKE FILM: Episode 2 Directed by Mark Cousins 2018 United Kingdom	“Believability” It’s easy to spot, but not so easy to understand. Believability is about simple human stories, truth about life, real emotions, responding to the world. How do directors create a reality without it feeling fake? True stories can help. But what’s the trick? Here are some answers, drawing from Lois Weber’s THE BLOT and Maren Ade’s TONI ERDMANN. “Introducing Character” Going to a house, overhearing people, witnessing bizarre action—there are many ways to meet people and be introduced to characters in films. In Shirley Clarke’s THE CONNECTION, she has a documentary crew introduce the characters to us; Andrea Arnold puts her characters front and center in FISH TANK; and in THE STORY OF THE FLAMING YEARS, directed by Yuliya Solntseva, the main character is presented like a statue on a building. “Meet Cute” The classic Hollywood trope of a “meet cute” invites a variety of interpretations, from intimate glimpses to worlds colliding spectacularly. Unique examples include the feverish, pivotal meet cute in Germaine Dulac’s experimental THE SEASHELL AND THE CLERGYMAN, Céline Sciamma playing two girl gangs against each other in GIRLHOOD, and the cynical FBI old guard meeting the idealistic newcomer in Kathryn Bigelow’s POINT BREAK. Then, a masterfully choreographed, layered meet cute in Mania Akbari’s ONE.TWO.ONE is captured in a single wide shot composed like a Renaissance altarpiece.
	WOMEN MAKE FILM: Episode 3 Directed by Mark Cousins 2018 United Kingdom	“Conversation” A basic human interaction—how to make it cinematic? Angela Schanelec directs us to focus on body language in PLACES IN CITIES, Cecile Tang uses the zoom as guide through the emotional shifts in THE ARCH, and Sofia Coppola in THE VIRGIN SUICIDES shows us an unspoken conversation, with songs and split screens telling a story of impossible longing. “Framing” Frames describe and paint the scenes. They can make sport look balletic, like in controversial Nazi iconographer’s Leni Riefenstahl’s OLYMPIA. They shape the cinematic world—through impressionist glances in Kathryn Bigelow’s BLUE STEEL, suffocating close-ups in Lucrecia Martel’s THE HOLY GIRL, and camera angles as extreme as the titular character’s emotions in Mahalia Belo’s ELLEN. “Tracking” Tracking shots are to many an essence of filmmaking magic. They can ask questions and speak when hardly anyone else in the film is talking—like in Chantal Akerman’s FROM THE EAST or Marion Hänsel’s LE LIT. In Antonia Bird’s FACE, a seamless tracking shot gives us an illusion of the camera being an extension of our eyes. Kinetic in nature, tracking can help dynamically show and express a desperate escape, like in Ursula Meier’s HOME.
	WOMEN MAKE FILM: Episode 4 Directed by Mark Cousins 2018 United Kingdom	“Staging” Scene staging is an element of film form pointing clearly to cinema’s origin: theater. Kinuyo Tanaka uses staging in THE MOON HAS RISEN to shape the scene’s invisible geometry, accentuating the tension between characters. Maren Ade stages through depth in TONI ERDMANN, facilitating the tragicomic punch line. And in Maria Schrader’s STEFAN ZWEIG: FAREWELL TO EUROPE, the crisscrossing staging in the final scene makes its location come alive. “Journey” Movement is key to a motion picture, and journeys in film can be horizontal as well as vertical (into the self). Travel can be like glue and bind characters from two different worlds, like when a middle-class woman and working-class man go on a moral journey against society in KRANE’S CONFECTIONERY. Driving can be a test of will and courage, like in Nell Shipman’s SOMETHING NEW. A mode of transportation can serve as a safe space and a social microcosm, like the car in Andrea Arnold’s AMERICAN HONEY. Or, like in Jennifer Kent’s THE BABADOOK, it can take the character on a journey into her nightmares. “Discovery” Discovery and revelation shape some of cinema’s most iconic moments. But beyond the best-known scenes, there lies the humanity, craft, and insight of discovery—like in Céline Sciamma’s TOMBOY, when the mother suddenly sees her child in a new light. There’s the discovery of the opposite sex’s naked form, like in the male-gaze-flipping scene from Patty Jenkins’s WONDER WOMAN. Then, in Sabiha Sumar’s SILENT WATERS, the audience is guided through a discovery that changes everything about how they view the story.
	WOMEN MAKE FILM: Episode 5 Directed by Mark Cousins 2018 United Kingdom	“Adult/Child” Most famous movie genres—war pictures, westerns, etc.—are about adults, but in this chapter, Jane Fonda narrates the story of eighteen films about children, from Germany, Belgium, Mongolia, Sweden, Russia, Canada, Senegal, Argentina, and Scotland. “Economy” We’ve all seen overblown films, but what are the visual and story lessons we can learn from Claire Denis, Maria Louisa Bemberg, Kinuyo Tanaka, Agnès Varda, Valeska Grisebach, and Desiree Akhavan about keeping things simple? “Editing” How have filmmakers like Ava Du Vernay, Kathryn Bigelow, Sarah Maldoror, Leni Riefentahl, and Drahoméra Vihanová and their editors pushed the techniques of editing to their limits?
	WOMEN MAKE FILM: Episode 6 Directed by Mark Cousins 2018 United Kingdom	“POV” Is cinema the art of point of view? Jocelyn Moorhouse, Ida Lupino, Edith Carlmar, Sofia Coppola, Liliana Cavani, Kelly Reichardt, Larisa Shepitko, Jennifer Kent, and other great directors demonstrate the art of POV. “Close-Up” Films from Belgium, Hungary, Australia, Finland, China, the United States, France, Germany and Ukraine, shot over ten decades, show how close-ups create intensity. “Dream” One of the great movie stars, India’s Sharmila Tagore, narrates this bold chapter that looks at dreams in films, including WAYNE’S WORLD, Jane Campion, Sally Potter, and silent movies.
	WOMEN MAKE FILM: Episode 7 Directed by Mark Cousins 2018 United Kingdom	“Bodies” Bodies in cinema can be enticing, athletic, or brutalized. Jane Fonda narrates this chapter about how some of the great directors—including Agnès Varda, Andrea Arnold, Marva Nabili, Pirjo Honkasalo, Márta Mészáros, and Wanda Jakubowska—have filmed bodies. “Sex” From bodies to sex—one of the most controversial aspects of film. In this chapter Diane Kurys, Lucile Hadžihalilović, Jamie Babbit, Safi Faye, Athina Rachel Tsangari, Alison de Vere, Carine Adler, Donna Deitch, Miranda July, Lucía Puenzo, Maren Ade, Chantal Akerman, and others show a variety of ways of showing sex on screen.
	WOMEN MAKE FILM: Episode 8 Directed by Mark Cousins 2018 United Kingdom	“Home” Refuge, shelter, or prison? Sharmila Tagore narrates the story of home on-screen in the great films of Edith Carlmar, Lynne Ramsay, Mai Zetterling, Liu Jiayin, Forough Farrokhzad, Antonia Bird, and others. “Religion” Narrator Sharmila Tagore takes us on a global tour of great films about religion. We start in the U.S. in the 1910s, go to Sri Lanka in the ’70s, and dip into the work of Lucrecia Martel, Jessica Hausner, and Marjane Satrapi. “Work” Work seems too unglamorous for cinema, but as narrator Jane Fonda tells us, in films like AMERICAN HONEY, the silent Russian masterpiece WOMEN OF RYAZAN, Venezuela’s ARAYA, Patty Jenkins’s MONSTER, and Mary Harron’s AMERICAN PSYCHO, some of the most engrossing scenes show work.
	WOMEN MAKE FILM: Episode 9 Directed by Mark Cousins 2018 United Kingdom	“Politics” Another aspect of everyday life. From silent cinema to the twenty-first century, movies from the visually astonishing THE ENCHANTED DESNA to DIVORCE IRANIAN STYLE to STRANGE DAYS have gained their energy and attack from their politics. “Gear Change” We like to be taken by surprise in films. This short chapter, narrated by Sharmila Tagore, looks at such surprises. “Comedy” Is comedy universal? Who have been the great comedy filmmakers around the world? Narrator Sharmila Tagore talks us through scenes from BIG with Tom Hanks, Ida Lupino’s THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS, the great movies of Elaine May, the classic Norwegian comedy FOOLS IN THE MOUNTAINS, and more.
	Women of the Night Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi 1948 Japan Duration: 1:13:59	After World War II, Mizoguchi was inspired by Italian neorealism to make one of the most emotionally and visually raw films of his career.

	Women of the Resistance Directed by Liliana Cavani 1965 Italy Duration: 50:10	Made for Italian television, this powerful documentary by iconoclastic auteur Liliana Cavani profiles a number of women who participated in the Italian Resistance and survived the German invasion of Italy during World War II. Cited by Cavani as the inspiration for her controversial international breakthrough THE NIGHT PORTER, WOMEN OF THE RESISTANCE is a both an inspiring ode to the courage of the everyday heroines who fought back against fascism and a harrowing exploration of the desperate extremes to which war drives all involved.
	Woodcutters of the Deep South Directed by Lionel Rogosin 1973 United States Duration: 1:24:57	In the lush backwoods of Mississippi and Alabama, history is being made. Poor Black and white working people are trying to overcome the forces of racism to organize into cooperative associations and dispel the bonds of their economic captors—the paper and pulpwood companies. In his final feature-length work, director Lionel Rogosin allows his subjects to tell and live their own story. We see them in their homes, with their families, and in the forests, which provide them the things that make them woodcutters: trees and freedom. Interviews with the men directly involved in the formation of the group—the Gulf-Coast Pulpwood Association—reveal the intricacies of this venture, an inspiring depiction of unity among workers across racial lines.
	Wooden Crosses Directed by Raymond Bernard 1932 France Duration: 1:53:42	Hailed by the New York Times on its Paris release as "one of the great films in motion picture history" Raymond Bernard's WOODEN CROSSES, France's answer to All Quiet on the Western Front, still stuns with its depiction of the travails of one French regiment during World War I. Using a masterful arsenal of film techniques, from haunting matte paintings to jarring documentary-like camerawork in the film's battle sequences, Bernard created a pacifist work of enormous empathy and chilling despair. No one who has ever seen this technical and emotional powerhouse has been able to forget it.
	Word Is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives Directed by Mariposa Film Group 1977 United States Duration: 2:12:14	More than forty years ago, in 1978, WORD IS OUT: STORIES OF SOME OF OUR LIVES startled audiences across the country when it appeared in movie theaters and on television. The first feature-length documentary about queer identity made by gay filmmakers, the film was created by the Mariposa Film Group, a collective comprised of three lesbians (Veronica Selver, Lucy Massie Phenix, Nancy Adair) and three gay men (Rob Epstein, Peter Adair, Andrew Brown). Featuring candid interviews with twenty-six gay men and women across a wide range of demographics, it became an immediate flash point in the emerging gay-rights movement of the 1970s and forever altered the cultural conversation around LGBT issues.
	Working Girls Directed by Lizzie Borden Starring Louise Smith, Ellen McElduff, Amanda Goodwin 1986 United States Duration: 1:33:33	Sex work is portrayed with radical nonjudgment in Lizzie Borden’s immersive, richly detailed look at the rhythms and rituals of society’s most stigmatized profession. Inspired by the experiences of the sex workers Borden met while making her underground feminist landmark BORN IN FLAMES, WORKING GIRLS reveals the textures of a day in the life of Molly (Louise Smith), a photographer working part-time in a Manhattan brothel, as she juggles a steady stream of clients, balances nurturing relationships with her coworkers with the demands of an ambitious madam, and above all fights to maintain her sense of self in a business in which the line between the personal and the professional is all too easily blurred. In viewing prostitution through the lens of labor, Borden boldly desensationalizes the subject, offering an empathetic, humanizing, often humorous depiction of women for whom this work is just another day at the office.
	Working Girls Directed by Dorothy Arzner Starring Judith Wood, Dorothy Hall, Charles “Buddy” Rogers 1931 United States Duration: 1:17:16	Dorothy Arzner offers a snappily entertaining, socially perceptive look at female solidarity in this Depression-era tale of young women striving to succeed in their careers and in love. Newly arrived in Manhattan from Indiana, small-town sisters Mae and June Thorpe (Dorothy Hall and Judith Wood) take up residence in an all-women’s boardinghouse, then set about searching for jobs—which they find, along with a host of romantic complications. As directed by feminist trailblazer Arzner, WORKING GIRLS crackles with pre-Code innuendo and displays a nuanced understanding of the interplay between gender and economic mobility in 1930s America.
	The World of Gilbert & George Directed by Gilbert Prousch and George Passmore Starring Gilbert Prousch, George Passmore 1981 United Kingdom Duration: 1:12:14	See the world through the beautiful, humorous, shocking, and absurd lens of British “living sculpture” provocateurs Gilbert & George, a couple in life and art-making whose defiantly anti-elitist works explored the bleak urban environs of 1980s London and gave expression to the desires and tensions of its disillusioned youth. Written and directed by the artists, THE WORLD OF GILBERT & GEORGE is both their singular self-portrait and a subversive personal tour through Thatcher-era Britain, where church spires and city streets, youths and drunks, dancing and tea drinking all take on affecting new meanings when viewed from their unique perspective.
	The World of Jacques Demy Directed by Agnès Varda 1995 Spain Duration: 1:31:49	Hollywood has had its fair share of power couples; husband and wife duos that have each enjoyed illustrious careers in the film industry. In France, one of the most noteworthy marital unions occurred when Jacques Demy and Agnès Varda tied the knot in 1962. Distinguished filmmakers in their own right, the couple enjoyed nearly 30 years together until Demy died in 1990. Following his death, Varda constructed a documentary paying tribute to the work of her husband and highlighting his place in the history of film.
	WORLD ON A WIRE: Part 1 Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder Starring Klaus Löwitsch, Barbara Valentin, Mascha Rabben 1973 Germany	WORLD ON A WIRE is a gloriously paranoid, boundlessly inventive take on the future from German wunderkind Rainer Werner Fassbinder. With dashes of Stanley Kubrick, Kurt Vonnegut, and Philip K. Dick, Fassbinder tells the noir-spiked tale of reluctant hero Fred Stiller (Klaus Löwitsch), a cybernetics engineer who uncovers a massive corporate conspiracy. At risk?

	The World’s Greatest Sinner Directed by Timothy Carey Starring Timothy Carey, Gil Barreto, Betty Rowland 1962 United States Duration: 1:16:56	Timothy Carey—the unforgettable character actor whose weird, wiggy energy brought a manic edge to classics like THE KILLING and PATHS OF GLORY—wrote, produced, directed, and starred in this outrageous underground satire of all-American demagoguery, one of the great gonzo cult films of all time. He plays insurance salesman Clarence Hilliard, who, disenchanted with his ordinary life, transforms himself into a self-styled evangelist, declares himself God, and—using rock ’n’ roll and sex—builds a cultlike following that propels him up the political ladder. But first he’ll have to face the wrath of the real God. With a singularly crazed performance from Carey, unhinged camerawork, and a soundtrack by a young Frank Zappa, THE WORLD’S GREATEST SINNER is a truly independent, one-of-a-kind expression of its creator’s warped genius. THE WORLD’S GREATEST SINNER was restored by the Academy Film Archive and The Film Foundation with funding provided by the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation. With permission from the Timothy Carey Estate and Absolute Films.
	The World Directed by Jia Zhangke Starring Zhao Tao, Cheng Taishen, Jing Jue 2004 China Duration: 2:19:54	An at once intimate and expansive exploration of globalization from visionary director Jia Zhangke, THE WORLD takes place in the eponymous theme park on the outskirts of Beijing, where iconic monuments from the Eiffel Tower to the Taj Mahal are reproduced for tourists. It’s there that the park’s employees—including a dancer (Zhao Tao) and a security guard (Cheng Taishen)—drift together and are pulled apart in a cycle of connection and alienation that speaks eloquently to the effects of China’s rapid modernization.

	WR: Mysteries of the Organism Directed by Dušan Makavejev Starring Milena Dravić, Ivica Vidović, Jagoda Kaloper 1971 Yugoslavia Duration: 1:24:51	What does the energy harnessed through orgasm have to do with the state of communist Yugoslavia circa 1971? Only counterculture filmmaker extraordinaire Dušan Makavejev has the answers (or the questions). His surreal documentary-fiction collision WR: MYSTERIES OF THE ORGANISM begins as an investigation into the life and work of controversial psychologist and philosopher Wilhelm Reich and then explodes into a free-form narrative of a beautiful young Slavic girl’s sexual liberation. Banned upon its release in the director’s homeland, the art-house smash WR is both whimsical and bold in its blending of politics and sexuality.
	Wrong Move Directed by Wim Wenders Starring Hanna Schygulla, Peter Kern, Nastassja Kinski 1975 Germany Duration: 1:44:42	With depth and style, Wim Wenders updates a late-eighteenth-century novel by Goethe, transposing it to 1970s West Germany and giving us the story of an aimless writer (Rüdiger Vogler) who leaves his hometown to find himself and winds up befriending a group of other travelers. Seeking inspiration to help him escape his creative funk, he instead discovers the limits of attempts to refashion one's identity. One of the director's least seen but earthiest and most devastating soul searches, WRONG MOVES features standout supporting performances from New German Cinema regulars Hanna Schygulla and Peter Kern and, in her first film appearance, Nastassja Kinski.
	Xala Directed by Ousmane Sembène Starring Thierno Leye, Myriam Niang, Seune Samb 1975 Senegal Duration: 2:03:26	An adaptation of Ousmane Sembène’s own 1973 novel, XALA is a hilarious, caustic satire of political corruption under an inept patriarchy. On the night of his wedding to his third bride, government official El Hadji (Thierno Leye) is rendered impotent and begins to suspect that one of his other wives has placed a curse on him. After seeking a cure from a local marabout, El Hadji must face the possibility that he deserves the infliction for his part in embezzling public funds and for helping to keep Senegal under French control. Adeptly combining elements of African folklore and popular cinema, Sembène indicts the hubris, entitlement, and opportunism of male authority figures.
	The X from Outer Space Directed by Kazui Nihonmatsu 1967 Japan Duration: 1:28:23	When a crew of scientists returns from Mars with a sample of the space spores that contaminated their ship, they inadvertently bring about a nightmarish earth invasion. After one of the spores is analyzed in a lab, it escapes, eventually growing into an enormous, rampaging beaked beast.

Shot guerrilla style in 16 mm with a cast of nonprofessional actors, XIAO WU is at once an intimate character study and a trenchant examination of the political and economic forces reshaping Chinese society in the 1990s.
	Yaangna Plays Itself Directed by Adam Piron 2022 United States Duration: 07:20	YAANGNA PLAYS ITSELF is an ode to the memories of El Aliso, the sycamore tree that once stood at the center of Yaangna, the Indigenous Gabrieleno village that Los Angeles grew out from.
	Ydessa, les ours et etc. . . . Directed by Agnès Varda Starring Ydessa Hendeles 2004 France Duration: 43:00	Agnès Varda’s lifelong interest in still portraiture informs this record of a provocative Munich exhibition by the artist Ydessa Hendeles that contemplates our need for nostalgia and comfort in a violent world through an assemblage of hundreds of antique photographs of people and their teddy bears.
	Yearning Directed by Mikio Naruse Starring Hideko Takamine, Yuzo Kayama, Mitsuko Kusabue 1964 Japan Duration: 1:38:30	One of Mikio Naruse’s supreme achievements, this transcendent melodrama weaves a heartrending story of an extended family tragedy growing out of the Second World War. The great Hideko Takamine stars as a young widow attempting to carry on after her husband was killed in the war and her family grocery all but wiped out in a bombing raid. She keeps the business going, only to find herself dealing with the greedy interference of her sisters-in-law and the unwanted attention of her brother-in-law (Yuzo Kayama), who all the while pines for her. It all builds to a shattering, train-set emotional climax, subtly yet powerfully enacted by the director’s muse Takamine.
	Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow Directed by Vittorio De Sica Starring Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni, Aldo Giuffrè 1963 Italy Duration: 1:58:39	Winner of the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar at the 1964 Academy Awards, YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW is a sparklingly original comedy that casts Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren in three different stories set throughout Italy. In Naples, they are poor but resourceful, selling black-market cigarettes on the streets. In Milan, Loren is costumed in Christian Dior and debates her preference for a Rolls Royce or her husband. And in Rome, Mastroianni is an industry scion who helps Loren’s sex worker set a wavering priest back onto the spiritual plane. Witty and unforgettable, this gem from master filmmaker Vittorio De Sica is picture-postcard beautiful and effortlessly hilarious.
	Yi Yi Directed by Edward Yang Starring Nianzhen Wu, Elaine Jin, Issey Ogata 2000 Taiwan Duration: 2:53:41	The extraordinary, internationally embraced YI YI (A ONE AND A TWO . . .), directed by the late Taiwanese master Edward Yang, follows a middle-class family in Taipei over the course of one year, beginning with a wedding and ending with a funeral. Whether chronicling middle-age father NJ’s tentative flirtations with an old flame or precocious young son Yang-Yang’s attempts at capturing reality with his beloved camera, the filmmaker deftly imbues every gorgeous frame with a compassionate clarity. Warm, sprawling, and dazzling, this intimate epic is one of the undisputed masterworks of the new century.
	Yojimbo Directed by Akira Kurosawa Starring Toshiro Mifune, Tatsuya Nakadai, Yoko Tsukasa 1961 Japan Duration: 1:50:52	The incomparable Toshiro Mifune stars in Akira Kurosawa’s visually stunning and darkly comic YOJIMBO.

	You and Me Directed by Fritz Lang Starring Sylvia Sidney, George Raft, Harry Carey 1938 United States Duration: 1:34:11	One of the most delightfully offbeat Hollywood films of the 1930s, this unclassifiable and often overlooked gem from director Fritz Lang blends crime, comedy, romance, and songs by Kurt Weill into a Brechtian, almost avant-garde satire of capitalism in the midst of the Great Depression. At a department store whose owner believes in giving ex-convicts a fresh start, parolee Joe Dennis (George Raft) finds romance with fellow employee Helen Roberts (Sylvia Sidney)—unaware that she is also an ex-con. Can their relationship survive revelations about their pasts, as well as his temptation to find out if crime really does pay?
	You Are Not I Directed by Sara Driver Starring Suzanne Fletcher, Melody Schneider, Bea Boyle 1981 United States Duration: 49:07	A legendary, once-lost landmark of American underground cinema, Sara Driver’s first film was rediscovered in 2008 and has since taken its place as one of the key works of the No Wave filmmaking movement.

Whether fighting for civil rights, labor reform, or stopping the ravaging of communities by strip mining and toxic-waste dumping, the Highlander community has been active in some of the most significant American social movements of the last century. Rich in the language and music of the South, YOU GOT TO MOVE is about people’s discovery within themselves of the courage and ability to confront reality and change it.
	Young and Innocent Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Starring Derrick De Marney, Nova Pilbeam, Percy Marmont 1937 United States Duration: 1:23:32	Alfred Hitchcock’s delightfully entertaining, often overlooked tale of a wrongly accused man follows a young writer (Derrick De Marney) who, when he becomes the prime suspect in the murder of an actress, goes on the run with the chief constable’s daughter (Nova Pilbeam) as his only help. Romance and thrills ensue, with Hitchcock’s master touch apparent in a memorable children’s-party set piece and an elaborately choreographed crane shot used to reveal the killer. Please be advised: this film contains a sequence involving blackface.
	The Young Girls of Rochefort Directed by Jacques Demy Starring Catherine Deneuve, Françoise Dorléac 1967 France Duration: 2:06:48	Jacques Demy followed up THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG with another musical about missed connections and second chances, this one a more effervescent confection. Twins Delphine and Solange, a dance instructor and a music teacher (played by real-life sisters Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac), long for big-city life; when a fair comes through their quiet port town, so does the possibility of escape. With its jazzy Michel Legrand score, pastel paradise of costumes, and divine supporting cast (George Chakiris, Grover Dale, Danielle Darrieux, Michel Piccoli, and Gene Kelly), THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT is a tribute to Hollywood optimism from sixties French cinema’s preeminent dreamer.

	The Young Master Directed by Jackie Chan Starring Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Wai Pak 1980 Hong Kong Duration: 1:46:42	Jackie Chan’s second directorial effort was also a film of important firsts: his first for upstart studio Golden Harvest and his first with cowriter Edward Tang, who would become a key collaborator. The star-filmmaker shows his increasing confidence with this endlessly inventive tale of a martial-arts student (Chan) who goes in search of his exiled brother, only to become entangled in a case of mistaken identity—with much amusement provided by Chan’s interplay with his real-life former schoolmate Yuen Biao. The epic finale, in which Chan goes from human punching bag to raging bull, is a bruising highlight of his career.
	Young Mr. Jazz Directed by Hal Roach Starring Harold Lloyd 1919 United States Duration: 10:10	A young couple on the run encounter car trouble—right outside a dancehall teeming with outlaws. The two go through a slapstick struggle to keep the crooks, and the girlfriend’s angry father, at bay.

	Young Soul Rebels Directed by Isaac Julien Starring Valentine Nonyela, Mo Sesay, Sophie Okonedo 1991 United Kingdom Duration: 1:45:04	From the moment Parliament’s “P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)” erupts over the opening of Isaac Julien’s breakthrough feature, we know we’re in for a wild ride. The changes keep coming as a murder sets off a police investigation and waves of controversy in London’s Black community. The year is 1977, and while some people are busy getting ready to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s Silver Jubilee, others have more important things on their minds. Punks and Teds, National Front and Natty Dreads are fighting in the streets, and the authorities seem more interested in harassing the victim’s friends than in solving the crime. A riveting look at the forces of race, class, and sex that reshaped the UK just before the Thatcher years, YOUNG SOUL REBELS, which won the 1991 Critics’ Week Prize at Cannes, remains as exciting and vital today as ever.
	Young Törless Directed by Volker Schlöndorff Starring Mathieu Carrière, Marian Seidowsky, Bernd Tischer 1966 Germany Duration: 1:27:55	At an Austrian boys’ boarding school in the early 1900s, shy, intelligent Törless observes the sadistic behavior of his fellow students, doing nothing to help a victimized classmate—until the torture goes too far.

	Z Directed by Costa-Gavras Starring Yves Montand, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Irene Papas 1969 Greece Duration: 2:07:12	A pulse-pounding political thriller, Greek expatriate director Costa-Gavras’s Z was one of the cinematic sensations of the late sixties, and remains among the most vital dispatches from that hallowed era of filmmaking. This Academy Award winner—loosely based on the 1963 assassination of Greek left-wing activist Gregoris Lambrakis—stars Yves Montand as a prominent politician and doctor whose public murder amid a violent demonstration is covered up by military and government officials; Jean-Louis Trintignant is the tenacious magistrate who’s determined not to let them get away with it.

	Zatoichi and the Doomed Man Directed by Kazuo Mori 1965 Japan	An elderly prisoner accused of murder begs Zatoichi to find evidence of his innocence.

	Zazie dans le métro Directed by Louis Malle Starring Catherine Demongeot, Philippe Noiret 1960 France Duration: 1:32:49	A brash and precocious ten-year-old (Catherine Demongeot) comes to Paris for a whirlwind weekend with her rakish uncle (Philippe Noiret); he and the viewer get more than they bargained for, however, in this anarchic comedy from Louis Malle, which rides roughshod over the City of Light. Based on a popular novel by Raymond Queneau that had been considered unadaptable, Malle’s audacious ZAZIE DANS LE MÉTRO (“Zazie in the Metro”), made with flair on the cusp of the French New Wave, is a bit of stream-of-consciousness slapstick, wall-to-wall with visual gags, editing tricks, and effects.

	Zéro de conduite Directed by Jean Vigo Starring Jean Dasté, Gérard de Bédarieux, Louis Lefebvre 1933 France Duration: 44:26	So effervescent and charming that one can easily forget its importance in film history, Jean Vigo’s enormously influential portrait of prankish boarding-school students is one of cinema’s great acts of rebellion. Based on the director’s own experiences as a youth, ZÉRO DE CONDUITE presents childhood as a time of unfettered imagination and brazen rule-flouting. It’s a sweet-natured vision of sabotage made vivid by dynamic visual experiments—including the famous, blissful slow-motion pillow fight.
