SANTA SANGRE

Alejandro Jodorowsky

  • 103 minutes
  • 1989
  • English
  • September 30 - October 1

    In the 1970s, his legendary films EL TOPO and THE HOLY MOUNTAIN redefined movies as both art and entertainment while changing the face of cinema forever. And in 1989, visionary writer/director Alejandro Jodorowsky returned with this masterpiece, the story of a young circus performer, the crime of passion that shatters his soul, and the macabre journey back to the world of his armless mother, deaf-mute lover, and murder. An epic odyssey of ecstasy and anguish, belief and blasphemy, beauty and madness. Visionary and haunting SANTA SANGRE is a grand work of art full of hallucinatory brilliance that reaches beyond language to something primal and original. It is unlike any movie you have ever seen before...or ever will.

DELIVERANCE

John Boorman

  • 114 minutes
  • 1972
  • English
  • October 6 - 8

    John Boorman's DELIVERANCE recounts the grueling psychological and physical journey taken by four city slickers down a river in the backwoods of Georgia. At the behest of Lewis (Burt Reynolds), Ed (Jon Voight), Bobby (Ned Beatty), and Drew (Ronny Cox) agree to canoe down an uncharted section of the river before a dam project ruins the region. As the river gets rougher and rougher, the men come to nightmarish grips with what it means to survive outside the safety net of civilization. Poet James Dickey faithfully adapts his own novel’s trajectory through a heart of darkness in a country eternally hand-wringing about the erosion of masculine ideals and forever divided down lines of geography and topography.

SHOW ME LOVE

Lukas Moodysson

  • 89 minutes
  • 1998
  • Swedish with English subtitles
  • September 29 - October 1

    Awkward teenager Agnes (Rebecca Liljeberg) has recently moved with her family to the small rural town of Åmål, and has a secret: she’s head over heels in love with one of the popular girls at school, the impulsive and restless Elin (Alexandra Dahlström). When a doomed birthday party leads to a chance encounter between the pair, an unexpected romance blossoms that might be the most exciting thing to happen in Åmål in years. An instant smash hit upon its 1998 release that was acclaimed by no less than Ingmar Bergman as “a young master’s first masterpiece,” Lukas Moodysson’s SHOW ME LOVE (also known as FUCKING ÅMÅL) is a touchstone of new queer cinema and one of the most authentic portrayals of youthful relationships on film.
