A Chinese Ghost Story III
Fox Theatre proudly presents a retrospective of essential titles produced in the creative epicentre of Hong Kong, newly scanned in 4K and restored from original camera elements.
Featuring works from directors John Woo, Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam, and Ching Siu-tung, these stories of cops and criminals, Chinese opera, and supernatural forces showcase one of the most explosively inventive eras in modern filmmaking.
A soft remake of A Chinese Ghost Story, this third installment in the trilogy sees the evil Tree Spirit back with yet another romantic ghost played by Joey Wong.

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.

Orwell: 2+2=5
George Orwell was one of the most visionary authors of the 20th Century, whose novels 1984 and Animal Farm foretold a chilling, all-to-believable authoritarian future.
Acclaimed director Raoul Peck (Academy Award-nominated "I Am Not Your Negro"), working in collaboration with the Orwell Estate, seamlessly interweaves historical clips, readings from Orwell's diary, cinematic references, and dynamic modern day footage to craft not only a definitive portrait of the writer himself, but an entirely fresh take on how remarkably relevant and prophetic his work has become. Peck doesn't just present the information but shows new ways of seeing it, drawing patterns and connections we might not otherwise realize, championing Orwell as a man from the past who just might hold the key to the world's future.

Audition
One of the most infamous, impactful, and gut-wrenching Japanese horror films ever made returns to the big screen! Recent widower (and movie producer) Shigeharu is looking for a new wife. But instead of going the usual route, he decides to hold “auditions” for a movie that doesn’t exist. Shigeharu quickly becomes enchanted with Asami, a spooky twenty-something who is responsive to his charms. But things aren’t what they seem. AUDITION was the turn-of-the-millenium flash point that signaled the talent of Takashi Miike (ICHI THE KILLER). With this movie, Miike delivers a nerve-shredding exploration of male fears and the stereotype of submissive Japanese women. Shocking audiences worldwide with its white-knuckle finale and ingenious slow-burn build-up, AUDITION was responsible for creating a fresh new wave of Asian horror.

Inland Empire
Lynch’s hallucinatory vision returns to the big screen, with Laura Dern in a tour-de-force performance as, perhaps, an actress whose dream role quickly devolves into nightmare.
Intrigued by the possibilities of early-aughts consumer-grade digital video, Lynch started out shooting tests with Dern and then grafted on scenes of Hollywood machinations, conjugal intrigue, Polish curses, and even a rabbit-headed sitcom parody. The result is as dark, unpredictable and utterly compelling as anything he’s ever done, both an epic recap of a career—including appearances by Lynch veterans Justin Theroux, Laura Harring, Grace Zabriskie, Diane Ladd, and the inimitable Harry Dean Stanton—and his most radical and experimental movie since "Eraserhead."
“Possibly the greatest work of American film art since Altman’s Nashville.” – Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazine

“Language cannot do justice to Obayashi’s delirious horror-fantasy … You’d have to imagine Pee-wee’s Playhouse with a witch that eats schoolgirls, only amped up by a factor of 100.” - David Edelstein, New York Magazine
One of the great rediscoveries of the past 20 years, this candy-coloured ghost story follows a group of teenage girls who head off for a weekend in the country but end up at the mercy of a haunted house and its sinister inhabitants including a man-eating piano, an evil cat spirit, and, for some reason, a carload of watermelons.
Nobuhiko Obayahshi’s hallucinatory tale is nightmarish, absurd, and visually astonishing. It's a film that begs to be seen on the big screen and with a raucous crowd ready to step into a world of unrealistic special effects, stylized sets, and a storyline where literally anything can happen. It truly is the perfect way to celebrate Halloween!
