50TH ANNIVERSARY! NEW 4K DIGITAL RESTORATION!

“It is possibly the best-known erotic film of modern times, perhaps the best.” —Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES “Every detail has been so carefully thought out that seeing it again is like seeing it in another key.”—Renata Adler, THE NEW YORK TIMES

HHHH! “Tense and taut horror… With jet-black humour abounding…Nyman and Dyson have created a fantastic entry in the pantheon of British horror flicks.”—Guy Edgar, BRITFLICKS HHHH! “An insidiously spooky homage to Hammer horror, Tigon terror and the portmanteaus of Amicus.”—Martyn Conterio, CINEVUE

Catherine Deneuve’s porcelain perfection hides a cracked interior in one of the actress’s most iconic roles: Séverine, a seemingly virginal Paris housewife who begins secretly spending her afternoon hours working in a high-class bordello, before returning home to her new husband (Jean Sorel). Although frustrated by his wife’s frigidity toward him, he remains patient, unaware that her sexual life is restricted to elaborate fantasies involving domination, sadomasochism and bondage. This surreal and erotic late-sixties daydream from provocateur for the ages Luis Buñuel (THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE, THAT OBSCURE OBJECT OF DESIRE) 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. With Michel Piccoli. New 4K digital restoration for the 50th Anniversary of its U.S. release in 1968! (France/Italy, 1967)

Experience three spine-tingling tales of terror to haunt your dreams! A debunker of all things paranormal, Professor Phillip Goodman (Andy Nyman) has devoted his life to exposing phony psychics and fraudulent supernatural shenanigans on his television show, “Psychic Cheats.” His skepticism is put to the test, however, when he is challenged to explain a file of three chilling, inexplicable cases: a night watchman (Paul Whitehouse) haunted by terrifying visions as he patrols an abandoned asylum; an edgy young man (Alex Lawther, THE IMITATION GAME, TV’s “Black Mirror”) involved in a hellish car accident deep in the woods at night; and a wealthy former banker (Martin Freeman, BLACK PANTHER, THE HOBBIT, TV’s “Sherlock”) visited by the poltergeist spirit of his unborn child. Even scarier: each of these macabre stories seems to have a sinister connection to Professor Goodman’s own life. Will they make a believer of him yet? Expert sound design ups the tension in this unnervingly eerie, genuinely scary film. Written and directed by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman. (UK, 2018)

“Schoenaerts and Exarchopoulos ooze with onscreen chemistry…Roskam finds the humanity in his characters—seedy and sophisticated alike…There’s nothing small about this story: it’s all big stakes, big love, and big consequences.” —Kerri Craddock, TORONTO INT’L FILM FESTIVAL

RACER AND THE JAILBIRD is the latest breathlessly stylish and sexy crime epic from Oscar-nominated director Michaël R. Roskam (BULLHEAD, THE DROP), set against an exciting backdrop of high-speed auto racing and high-stakes heists. Keeping his identity as a member of a notorious Brussels gang renowned for their expertly-executed robberies a deep secret, Gigi (Matthias Schoenaerts, RED SPARROW, THE DANISH GIRL, FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD) tends to his front, a luxury automobile import-export business, in his downtime. Sparks fly when he meets glamorous and affluent race car driver Bibi (Adèle Exarchopoulos, BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR), and despite their wildly different backgrounds, the pair fall instantly and tragically in love. While Gigi attempts to break away from his illicit history, two things stand in the couple’s way to a happy life together: an unrelenting mob hungry for another heist, and the cops that are closing in on them. A triumph in on-screen chemistry and atmosphere, highlighted by an electrifying truck hijacking, RACER AND THE JAILBIRD is a fiery collision between thrilling ensemble crime saga and intimate fateful tragedy.

HHHH! “This story fills your heart with a little bit of hope amongst the sorrow.” —Rachel Hickman, THE WEE REVIEW “One of the best movies told about the Holocaust from a child’s point of view.” —Hannah Brown, JERUSALEM POST

This heartwarming adaptation of Joseph Joffo’s enduring memoir tells the story of two young Jewish boys trying to escape on their own across Nazi-occupied France. In 1941 Paris brothers Joseph and Maurice, aged 10 and 12, have so little understanding of the persecution of Jews that Joseph thinks nothing of swapping his yellow star for a bag of marbles. Their concerned parents, Roman (Patrick Bruel) and Anna (Elsa Zylberstein), make the agonizing decision that the boys’ best chance to survive is to flee on their own south to Vichy France, where their two older brothers have found safe haven. Always one false move from tragedy, the tenacious youngsters survive on courage, ingenuity, stubbornness and cunning, helped by the occasional kindness of strangers, as they make their precarious way through France hoping to reunite with their family. More than anything, it’s their brotherly bond that gets them through their ordeals. Newcomers Dorian Le Clech and Batyste Fleurial Palmieri give terrific performances as the brothers on the run in this suspenseful and exciting film. Directed by Christian Duguay.

“Unmistakable timeliness…Excellent performances...Brings urgency to a fascinating, underexplored theme…The bottom line—it hits a nerve.” —Stephen Farber, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

Based on true events, LITTLE PINK HOUSE follows small-town paramedic Susette Kelo (Catherine Keener, GET OUT, CAPOTE) as she leaves a bad marriage and starts over in a new town. She buys a rundown cottage in economically depressed New London, Connecticut, refurbishes it with her bare hands, paints it pink, meets a great guy (Callum Keith Rennie), and exhales. Then she discovers that powerful politicians are bent on bulldozing her blue-collar neighborhood, claiming the right of eminent domain, and handing the land over to pharmaceutical giant Pfizer (eager to expand their facilities because of a promising soon-to-be-released drug called Viagra). The redevelopment effort is spearheaded by Dr. Charlotte Wells (Jeanne Tripplehorn, “Big Love”); ambitious and accomplished, she’s the closest thing the gritty town has to a celebrity. Emerging as the reluctant leader of her neighbors, Susette fights all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, inspiring a nation as she seeks to help millions of Americans protect their homes. Featuring “Home Free,” an original song by David Crosby. Written and directed by Courtney Moorehead Balaker, based on the bestselling book by Jeff Benedict.

“Unapologetically and perfectly filmed…So charming it can start the discussion on unmentionable events while also making us laugh and cry.”—E. Nina Rothe, HUFFINGTON POST “Enlivened by an enjoyable performance from Moritz Bleibtreu as a joker whose way with a punchline probably saved his life.”—David Rooney, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

Frankfurt, 1946. David Bermann (Moritz Bleibtreu, IN JULY, DAS EXPERIMENT, RUN LOLA RUN) and a few Jewish friends have, against all odds, survived the murderous Nazi regime and are now dreaming of leaving for a new life in America. But how will they get the money in these tough postwar times? David, a smooth-talking businessman, jokester and hustler, recruits door-to-door salesmen from displaced persons camps, to sell overpriced fine bed linens to Germans with guilty consciences, employing flashy chutzpah to seal the deal with flattered housewives. Business flourishes and a bright new future can be seen on the horizon. But questions about David’s mysterious past catch up with him. Why does he have two passports? What about his visit to Hitler’s mountain retreat? Could he have collaborated with the Nazis? The smart and attractive but uncompromising U.S. military intelligence officer Sara Simon (Antje Traue, MAN OF STEEL) is determined to uncover the truth. Sara matches David’s quick wit with iron severity, but it becomes increasingly difficult for her to resist his charm. Directed by Sam Garbarski (IRINA PALM).

FILMCALENDAR Jennifer Peedom’s MOUNTAIN “Pure candy for Kubrick buffs.”—Owen Gleiberman, VARIETY

Candid, often funny and sometimes shocking, this utterly fascinating documentary gives unique insight into the creative genius of one of cinema’s greatest directors—and the man who helped him fulfill his vision. It’s a rare person who would give up fame and fortune to toil in obscurity for someone else’s creative vision. Yet that’s exactly what Leon Vitali did after his acclaimed performance as Lord Bullingdon in Stanley Kubrick’s BARRY LYNDON. The young actor surrendered his thriving career to become Kubrick’s loyal right-hand man and jack of all trades for more than two decades. Their complex, interdependent relationship was founded on devotion, sacrifice and the grueling, joyful reality of the creative process. Leon’s loyal service did not end with Kubrick’s death in 1999; it is thanks to his fanatical dedication that Kubrick’s oeuvre is preserved in the quality that the master would have demanded. With Ryan O’Neal, Matthew Modine, R. Lee Ermey, Stellan Skarsgård, Daniel Lloyd, Marie Richardson, Pernilla August and others. Directed by Tony Zierra.

“A delicately crafted, moving filmic memoir…True and captivating…Establishes Simón as a talent to watch.”—Jonathan Holland, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER “It might be with a child’s eyes that Summer 1993 relates the efforts of a six-year-old trying to cope with grief, but it is with maturity, empathy and heartfelt emotion that it conveys the uncertain reality that follows.”—Sarah Ward, SCREEN INTERNATIONAL

In writer/director Carla Simón’s touching autobiographical film, six-year-old Frida (Laia Artigas) looks on in silence as the last objects from her recently deceased mother’s apartment in Barcelona are placed in boxes. Now an orphan, she is taken to live with her aunt, uncle and threeyear-old cousin Anna (Paula Robles) who welcome her with open arms to their home in the idyllic Catalan countryside. But Frida misses the city and hates the country and has trouble adjusting. Time passes differently in her new home, and the nature that surrounds her is mysterious and estranging. She now has an impressionable little sister to take care of, and she has to deal with new feelings, such as jealousy. Punctuated by moments of youthful exuberance and mature ruminations, this coming-of-age drama, set amongst summery hues, is an extraordinarily moving snapshot of being a child in an adult world, anchored by flawless performances by its two young stars. SUMMER 1993 was made in the Catalan language and was Spain’s Official Selection for Best Foreign Language Film consideration at the 90th Academy Awards. (Spain, 2017) summer1993.oscilloscope.net

Narrated by Willem Dafoe, MOUNTAIN is a dazzling exploration of our obsession with mountains. Only three centuries ago, climbing a mountain would have been considered close to lunacy; peaks were places of peril, not beauty. Millions are now enchanted by the magic of mountains, and daring adventurers are attracted to challenge their heights. Where once their remoteness protected their purity, mountains have today become theatres for recreation. But their greatest value lies in their power to inspire wonder and awe: to remind us of the limits of our schemes and ambition. Full of breathtaking footage, both beautiful and thrilling, MOUNTAIN was photographed by the world’s leading high altitude cinematographers, including Renan Ozturk (MERU). A unique cinematic and musical collaboration between director Jennifer Peedom (SHERPA) and the Australian Chamber Orchestra, MOUNTAIN is an unforgettable experience, scored with classical works and new music by Richard Tognetti. Filmed on location in Antarctica, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, France, Greenland, Iceland, India, Italy, Japan, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Scotland, South Africa, Switzerland, Tibet and the United States.
