Screening in a dazzling 100th anniversary restoration with hand-colored sequences and live piano accompaniment by Bill Rowland, this expressionistic, visually opulent silent adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s 1910 gothic horror novel features an iconic performance from Lon Chaney as a disfigured composer who becomes dangerously obsessed with a young opera singer.
Winner of the Silver Lion for Best Director at the Venice Film Festival, acclaimed indie filmmaker Benny Safdie (Good Time, Uncut Gems) makes his solo directorial debut with The Smashing Machine, a gritty and gripping portrait of UFC legend Mark Kerr, featuring a transformative performance by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
A stripped-down and profoundly tactile reimagining of the Arthurian legend, Lancelot du Lac is one of Robert Bresson’s most mysterious films—a deeply elliptical, intrinsically musical work that contrasts the most intimate moral and spiritual imperatives with the brutality of war. Presented in a new 4K restoration, it screens as part of Museum Films' Late Bresson series.
A mesmerizing meditation on art and life, Ira Sachs’s richly textured new feature is based on rediscovered transcripts from a 1974 interview conducted by nonfiction writer Linda Rosenkrantz (played by Rebecca Hall), in which photographer Peter Hujar (Ben Whishaw) recounts the events of the previous day in minute detail.
A searing send-up of post-’68 France—and perhaps Robert Bresson’s most explicitly political film—The Devil, Probably tells the story of Charles, a young Parisian who tries and fails to find find comfort where his contemporaries do: love, religion, activism, consumerism, drug use, psychoanalysis. Presented in a new 4K restoration, it screens as part of Museum Films' Late Bresson series.
