Restoration: In the Mood for Love
Brand New 4K Restoration!
Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) move into neighbouring 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 25 years of cinema.
In honour of the film's 25th Anniversary, this new restoration as features a previously-unseen 9 minute short film by Wong Kar Wai that follows the feature.

Detour: The People Under the Stairs
In every neighbourhood, there is one house that adults whisper about and children cross the street to avoid....
Master of Horror - Wes Craven ("The Hills Have Eyes," "Scream") takes you inside the most terrifying house on the street.
Trapped in a fortified home owned by a mysterious couple, a young boy is suddenly thrust into a nightmare. He quickly discovers the true nature of the house's homicidal inhabitants and the secret creatures hidden deep within its walls.
Since its release, the film has been analyzed and studied for its satirical portrayal of gentrification, class struggle, and capitalism.

The Important Cinema Club Masterpiece Classics: Detour (1945)
"Whichever way you turn, fate sticks out a foot to trip you."
That's the philosophy of this low-budget quickie that became one of Hollywood's greatest film noirs. It's also what happens to Al (Tom Neal), a hard-luck piano player just trying to cross America to reunite with his girlfriend. But fate has other plans as he finds himself enmeshed in an accidental death, and then stuck in the clutches of Vera (the legendary Ann Savage), a ferocious hitchhiker who thinks his misfortune could be her ticket out of poverty.
Shot on a shoestring at one of Hollywood's least-respected studios, "Detour" has captivated generations for its twisty story, cynical humour, and wildly stylish imagery.
Important Cinema Club Masterpiece Classics is proud to present the greatest film by director Edgar G. Ulmer, a veteran of German Expressionism who became Hollywood's "Poet of Poverty Row".
As a bonus, the screening will be preceded by a rare Edgar G. Ulmer short film.

Eddington
Premiering at Cannes and nominated for the Palme d'Or, "Eddington" is a bold and unsettling reflection of a society on the brink.
In Ari Aster’s daring new film "Eddington", a small town in New Mexico serves as a microcosm for America's unraveling in 2020.
Sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix), and Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal) become embroiled in a feud over pandemic policies that spirals into a darkly satirical showdown, pitting neighbour against neighbour. Emma Stone plays Joe’s emotionally distant wife, while Austin Butler takes on the role of a charismatic conspiracy theorist. Together, the ensemble navigates a landscape filled with paranoia, misinformation, and social unrest.
Blending Western tropes with black comedy and political allegory, Aster crafts a visceral portrait of a nation in crisis.

Art House Classics: The Green Ray
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.

Detour: Opera
There’s nothing else like "OPERA."
After the artistic successes of "TENEBRAE" and "PHENOMENA," Dario Argento, known for "SUSPIRIA," aimed to create the most accomplished Giallo of his career. And that’s exactly what he achieved.
"OPERA" follows Betty, a young opera singer who takes over the leading role in an avant-garde production of Verdi's "Macbeth." Unbeknownst to her, stepping into this role triggers the madness of a black-gloved maniac embarking on a mutilation spree at the opera house. Will Betty's recurring nightmare hold the key to uncovering the psychopath's identity, or is there an even more horrific evil lying in wait in the wings?
With its ultra-stylized photography, intricate metaphors, and intense violence, "OPERA" is a brilliantly deranged spectacle and stands as the most breathtaking horror experience of 1987.

Spectacle: Beau Travail
New 4K Restoration!

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 honour, 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.
