ROSE OF NEVADA

Beauty and the Beast  / Orpheus

**Screenwriters**: Jean-Luc Godard, from the novel *Fool&#8217;s Gold* by Dolores Hitchens

One of Jean-Luc Godard&#8217;s most charming crime capers, cinema doesn&#8217;t get much cooler than this laissez-faire dalliance with love, danger, friendship, and amateur criminality. Cinephile slackers Franz and Arthur spend their days mimicking the antiheroes of Hollywood noirs and Westerns while pursuing the lovely Odile (the iconic Anna Karina at her most adorably luminous). The misfit trio upends convention at every turn, be it through choreographed dances in cafés or frolicsome romps through the Louvre. Eventually, their romantic view of outlaws pushes them to plan their own heist, but their inexperience may send them out in a blaze of glory &#8212; which could be just what they want. With a soundtrack from Michel Legrand and an infectious nonchalance, this is fizzy French fun at its best!

Get lost in Peter Weir&#8217;s haunting dream of a film &#8211; an enduring and enigmatic mystery, and considered to be the greatest Australian film of all time. Weir achieves atmospheric perfection with the help of his cinematographer Russell Boyd and an eerie pan flute score by Zamfir in addition to the desolate and daunting Australian scenery and elegant and ethereal costumes. When a group of English school girls set out on a field trip to a stunning but treacherous rock formation, no one could imagine that several of the girls and one of the teachers would never arrive home, setting off a spiral of grief and enduring unanswerable questions. A breathtaking vision and a &#8220;dream within a dream,&#8221; this haunting masterpiece is best seen on the big screen.

Picnic at Hanging Rock

Monsieur Verdoux

Juice with Ernest Dickerson

A short documentary following C.O.F.F.I.N from their beginnings as teenagers on Sydney’s Northern Beaches to becoming one of Australia’s most respected contemporary rock’n’roll bands.

Told through over 20 years of archival footage, interviews, unseen material and life on the road, the film explores how persistence, friendship and the surrounding culture of the Northern Beaches shaped the band’s identity, music and worldview.

At the centre of the story are the decades-long friendships that built C.O.F.F.I.N, from founding members Ben Portnoy and Abijah Rado, who began performing together at age 12, to the later additions of Aaron Moss and Steven ‘Kosty’ Kostogiannis. Together, the film explores their deep personal bonds and shared history that shaped the band long before the music itself.

Featuring commentary from family, collaborators and figures across the Australian music community, alongside live in-studio performances and early previews of unreleased music, the film offers an intimate inside view into who C.O.F.F.I.N is.

The people have spoken and they want more ASCO, so we&#8217;re bringing back the infectious creativity of this essential LA Chicano documentary treasure! From executive producers Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna *ASCO: Without Permission* challenges the limits of documentary conventions to tell the story of a revolutionary Chicano art group who turned 1970s LA into their defiant canvas. Merging activism with radical artmaking, ASCO challenged the established order of Hollywood, museums, and media and are now considered amongst the 20th century&#8217;s most significant artists. Director Travis Gutiérrez Senger mirrors their boundary-breaking spirit through a groundbreaking approach, weaving nonfiction, and fiction together with a new generation of artists. The result is more than a profile &#8212; it&#8217;s a reimagining of what&#8217;s possible in art and cinema, celebrating iconoclasts who were decades ahead of their time.

ASCO: Without Permission

**Screenwriter:** Guillermo Arriaga

**Producer:** Alejandro González Iñárritu

Co-Presented by the **MUBI Podcast **featuring an in-person introduction from MUBI Podcast host**** Rico Gagliano!****

Considered by many as one of the best Mexican films of all time, *Amores Perros* is a visceral, emotional look at the intertwined lives of three perfect strangers in Mexico City — a supermodel, a rebellious adolescent, and an ex-guerrilla now living on the streets — all brought together by the seemingly inconsequential destiny of a dog. The directorial debut of Alejandro G. Iñárritu, this award-winning film is bold, ambitious, and, once seen, never forgotten. After 25 years, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s legendary debut returns to the big screen in a stunning restoration.

**The MUBI Podcast** is an audio documentary series telling the stories of great cinema: How it happens, and why it matters.  Listen where you get your podcasts: [mubi.io/podcast](http://mubi.io/podcast)

In the episode dropping July 16, host Rico Gagliano gets the origin story of *Amores Perros*, straight from the legends who made it: director Alejandro Iñárritu and his cinematographer, Rodrigo Prieto.  From Iñárritu&#8217;s leap behind the camera after hosting Mexico City&#8217;s most notorious radio show, to Prieto&#8217;s f*%k-it experiments with the movie&#8217;s actual negative, it&#8217;s a tale of two iconoclasts who figured this was their shot at revolutionizing Mexican cinema&#8230;and did.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson give dazzling dual-role performances in this supernatural-tinged romantic murder mystery. Mike Church (Branagh) is a L.A. gumshoe with a knack for tossing off wisecracks and tracking down missing persons. But Church doesn’t have a clue when he’s hired to help a beautiful amnesia victim (Thompson) tormented by blood-curdling nightmares. Then an eccentric antiques dealer and hypnotist (Derek Jacobi) leads Church to a startling discovery: The source of the nightmares may lie in a past-life connection to Margaret Strauss, a world-famous pianist allegedly murdered by her composer husband… in 1948. In the classic tradition of Spellbound and Rebecca, DEAD AGAIN “brings an entertaining genre back to life” (Tom Jacobs, Los Angeles Daily News). Costarring Andy Garcia.

But he can feel his world slowly collapsing around him &#8211; his obsession with work has almost destroyed his personal life, and only his bottles of pills keep him going.

Visionary director Satoshi Kon brings us this intense animated psychological thriller for the social media era. Rising pop star Mima has quit singing to pursue a career as an actress and model, but her fans aren’t ready to see her go, and when she takes on a recurring role on a popular TV show, suddenly her handlers and collaborators begin turning up dead. Harboring feelings of guilt and haunted by visions of her former self, Mima’s reality and fantasy meld into a frenzied paranoia. As her stalker closes in, in person and online, the threat he poses is more real than even Mima knows. Considered an undeniable animated classic, *Perfect Blue* is the debut film from legendary director Satoshi Kon, who would go on to gift us *Millennium Actress*, *Tokyo Godfathers*, and *Paprika. *Hailed as the first animated film to feature an authentic psychological suspense story, this film was acclaimed at international film festivals and was released in theaters in Japan in 1998. Blending a play within a play, the story unfolds as fiction and reality, dreams and delusions, and cyberspace intertwine—like an optical illusion.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Japanese with English subtitles.*

An uncharacteristic departure from Naruse’s typical concentration on the lives of adults, THE APPROACH OF AUTUMN fixates on Hideo, a boy whose arrival in Ginza from the countryside formulates the beginnings of a forced adolescence, marked by his own exposures to city life and growing resentment about his single mother’s choices. Taken to live with his uncle’s family, Hideo is left to his own devices when his mother takes a job at a nearby ryokan, thereby neglecting her son. A friendship with a local girl brings Hideo to a deeper understanding of the broken state of postwar familial structures, as issues of abandonment, alienation and self-worth accelerate his increasing disillusionment with the world at large.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

The scintillating feature debut of Mary Harron (AMERICAN PSYCHO) and one of the most controversial independent films of the 1990s, I SHOT ANDY WARHOL stars an electric Lili Taylor as Valerie Solanas, a militant feminist whose attempted murder of Andy Warhol brought instant fame to her radically anti-male SCUM Manifesto. Dropping out of grad school in the mid-sixties, the brilliant yet volatile Solanas survived in New York City as a destitute artist, sex worker, and panhandler, soon striking up a friendship with Warhol superstar Candy Darling that brought her briefly into the orbit of the world’s premier pop artist. With vivid, hallucinatory attention to historical detail, Harron captures the explosive cross-pollination of New York’s political and artistic countercultures as well as the creativity, snobbery, and decadence at the heart of the legendary Factory. Anchored by pitch-perfect performances—and featuring a blistering score by John Cale as well as covers of sixties hits by some of the nineties’ most iconic bands (R.E.M., Wilco)—I SHOT ANDY WARHOL is an incisive portrait of a rebel without an outlet and the soon-to-be-lost generation she came to define.

America is turning 250! Come on out for the National Film Preservation Foundation’s Semiquincentennial Celebration of Celluloid! For nearly 30 years the NFPF has been helping to preserve America’s film heritage. To herald the 250th anniversary of the USA, we present a group of preserved cinematic gems demonstrating the American spirit and the drive of democracy.

Films include ***Flaming Canyons*** (1929, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences), an excerpt from **Marian** ***Anderson: The Lincoln Memorial Concert*** (1939, UCLA Film & Television Archive), ***Obey Your Air Raid Warden*** (1942, Chicago Film Archives), ***The House I Live In*** (1945, Library of Congress), ***The Story of Creative Capital** *(1957, Hagley Museum and Library), ***The Festival in Washington*** (1968, Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage), ***Tellin’ the World** *(1972, Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research), and the Bruce Conner film for David Byrne and Brian Eno&#8217;s ***America is Waiting*** (1981, Anthology Film Archives, preserved through the Avant-Garde Masters Program funded by The Film Foundation).

Now, twenty years later, aliens under attack have mistaken the Galaxy Quest television transmissions for &#8220;historical documents&#8221; and beam up the crew of has-been actors to save the universe. With no script, no director, and no clue, the actors must turn in the performances of their lives.

Galaxy Quest

The year is 2071. Following a terrorist bombing, a deadly virus is released on the populace of Mars and the government has issued the largest bounty in history, for the capture of whoever is behind it. The bounty hunter crew of the spaceship Bebop; Spike, Faye, Jet and Ed, take the case with hopes of cashing in the bounty.

### **ABOUT THE FILMS:**

**“The Bakery Girl of Monceau,” 1963, Dir. Éric Rohmer, 23 Mins, Janus Films, France**

*In French with English subtitles.*

Simple, delicate, and jazzy, the first of the “Moral Tales” shows the stirrings of what would become the Rohmer style: unfussy naturalistic shooting, ironic first-person voice-over, and the image of the “unknowable” woman. A law student (played by producer and future director Barbet Schroeder) with a roving eye and a large appetite stuffs himself full of sugar cookies and pastries daily in order to garner the attentions of the pretty brunette who works in a quaint Paris bakery. But is he truly interested, or is she just a sweet diversion?

FORMAT: DCP

**SUZANNE’S CAREER, 1963, Dir. Éric Rohmer, 55 Mins, Janus Films, France**

*In French with English subtitles.*

Bertrand bides his time in a casually hostile and envious friendship with college chum Guillaume. But when ladies’ man Guillaume seems to be making a play for the spirited, independent Suzanne, Bertrand watches bitterly with disapproval and jealousy. With its ragged black-and-white 16 mm photography and strong sense of 1960s Paris, Rohmer’s second “Moral Tale” is a wonderfully evocative portrait of youthful naiveté and the complicated bonds of friendship and romance.

*Remaining Native* is a coming-of-age documentary told from the perspective of Kutoven (Ku) Stevens, a 17-year-old Native American runner, struggling to navigate his dream of becoming a collegiate athlete as the memory of his great-grandfather&#8217;s escape from an Indian boarding school begins to connect past, present, and future.

Ku Stevens (17) is the solo runner at his high school with no coach. Living on the Yerington Paiute reservation in Northwest Nevada he needs more to be seen by his dream school, the University of Oregon. 

As Ku trains, unreconciled emotions unearth the memory of his great-grandfather, Frank Quinn. At 8 years old, Frank ran 50 miles across the desert to escape an Indian boarding school. Frank’s story becomes interwoven with Ku’s journey to run a collegiate qualifying time.

Will Ku outrun his history or will he learn to run in parallel with it to achieve his dreams?

The Popcorn List: Remaining Native

**Screenwriter**: Paul Osborn from the novel by John Steinbeck

**Producer**: Elia Kazan

Adapted from the acclaimed novel by John Steinbeck (and even more loosely adapted from the Biblical story of Cain and Abel), this searing period drama from director Elia Kazan explores the fissures in a dysfunctional family. In 1910s California, wayward son Cal (James Dean) struggles to prove his worth to his deeply religious father Adam (Raymond Massey) and live up to the example of his better-loved brother Aron (Richard Davalos). But Cal’s good intentions are complicated by a shocking secret about his supposedly deceased mother, their farm’s economic decline, and the looming shadow of World War I. Dean’s electrifying performance here is still hailed as one of the greatest in film history — this was the last movie of his released before his tragic death at 24, and it earned him a posthumous Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

*Trash Baby* is an indie drama that celebrates the kids who grew up amidst white trash culture in the early 2000’s. The film follows Stevie (12), during yet another sweltering summer spent in Pine Park. After an unexpected run-in with the resident cool girl next door, Stevie strikes an unlikely friendship with wild, not-so-child, Edie. 

Swirling in a new world of puberty, boys, and drinking, Stevie is convinced it is time to leave childhood behind in exchange for new friends and a world she has long romanticized. 

That is until the reality of her new found idol’s life which contains fractured experiences of motherhood, corrupted innocence, and a world of violence starts to bleed into the frame. Soon Stevie must decide if she is truly ready to let innocence go or embrace childhood while it lasts.

The Popcorn List: Trash Baby

**Screenwriters**: Dario Argento, Daria Nicolodi

**Producer**: Claudio Argento

One of the most beautiful horror films of all time, Dario Argento&#8217;s stunning shocker is one gorgeous nightmare. One dark night, an American dancer arrives at a baroque European ballet academy, where she is greeted with students fleeing in a panic, secretive headmistresses and a series of murders and supernatural occurrences that grow increasingly gruesome. Eventually she discovers to her horror—and our frightful delight—that the school holds terrifying secrets within its walls. Almost impossibly stylized and highly influential (David Lynch, Nicolas Winding Refn and Guillermo del Toro are all big fans), *Suspiria* is a classic of contemporary horror, a Technicolor fever dream of stunning imagery that has recently been digitally restored to its full nightmarish glory.

Suspiria

**Screenwriter**: Annapurna Sriram

**Producer**: Timothy Petryni

Director **Annapurna Sriram **and Producer** Tim Petryn** in person!

Part-time sex worker, full-time chaos magnet, AP is convinced that the universe has it out for her… and she might be right. In Fucktoys — the wild, unfiltered debut from writer/director/star **Annapurna Sriram** — AP seeks a cosmic reset after a swampy tarot reading (courtesy **Big Freedia**) tells her she needs $1,000 and a sacrificial lamb to lift her curse. Armed with neither, she sets off on a bizarre quest with her kindred spirit Danni (**Sadie Scott**) through Trashtown, USA — a dystopian, neon-drenched sprawl of assorted oddballs, Tom of Finland cops, and strip clubs galore. 

Channeling the cinematic stylings of French New Wave, cross-pollinated with the rebellious vibe of 90s-era Gregg Araki, *Fucktoys* is rude, crude, unhinged, girlypop middle finger to filmic convention. The film features a spunky and beloved cast that includes *13 Reasons Why’*s **Brandon Flynn**, *The Comeback’*s **Damian Young**, and a knockout performance by* Heated Rivarly’s ***François Arnaud**. Sriram’s *Fucktoys *took home the **Grand Jury Award **at **NewFest**, **Special Jury Award** at both the **SXSW** & **Fantasia**, and has won a slew of other jury and audience awards since.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

USA in the 1970s. We follow the highly intelligent Jack (Matt Dillon) through 5 incidents and are introduced to the murders that define Jack’s development as a serial killer.

We experience the story from Jack’s point of view. He views each murder as an artwork in itself, even though his dysfunction gives him problems in the outside world. Despite the fact that the final and inevitable police intervention is drawing ever near (which both provokes and puts pressure on Jack) he is – contrary to all logic – set on taking greater and greater chances. The goal is the ultimate artwork: A collection of all his killings manifested in a House that he builds.

Along the way we experience Jack’s descriptions of his personal condition, problems and thoughts through a recurring conversation with the unknown Verge – a grotesque mixture of sophistry mixed with an almost childlike self-pity and in-depth explanations of, for Jack, dangerous and difficult maneuvers.

Join us for a special Getting Real 2026 screening event featuring Taiwan Academy's two award-winning documentary shorts, *Island in Between* and *Colour Ideology Sampling.mov*.

Not every border is a line. Some are a color, a silence, an identity that refuses to settle.

This special screening brings together two award-winning documentary shorts that dwell in the space between, the grey that no map, no flag, and no color chart can fully account for. In *Island in Between* (2023), Oscar-nominated for Best Documentary Short at the 96th Academy Awards, director S. Leo Chiang weaves the geopolitical tension of Kinmen, a Taiwanese island just two miles from mainland China, with his own personal reckoning. Having grown up in the United States, Chiang reflects on a life shaped by Taiwan, China, and America, finding in this suspended island a mirror for his own ambivalent sense of belonging.

*Colour Ideology Sampling.mov* (2024), by directors Chan Cheuk-sze and Kathy Wong, finds that same unresolvedness in the political life of color itself. Winner of Best Documentary Short at the 61st Golden Horse Awards and the Jury Award at TIDF 2026, the film deconstructs how hues become ideology, tracing the symbolism of Hong Kong yellow and Taiwan green, and how identity always exceeds the shades we are handed.

Together, these films ask us to resist the comfort of clear edges. To stay in the grey. To look carefully at what lives in between.

This scathing late-sixties satire from Jean-Luc Godard is one of cinema’s great anarchic works. Determined to collect an inheritance from a dying relative, a bourgeois couple travel across the French countryside while civilization crashes and burns around them. Featuring a justly famous sequence in which the camera tracks along a seemingly endless traffic jam, and rich with historical and literary references, WEEKEND is a surreally funny and disturbing call for revolution, a depiction of society reverting to savagery and—according to the credits—the end of cinema itself.

Emancipate the Image: Revisiting the Cinematic Ark of Ben Caldwell

**Screenwriter**: Arthur Laurents from the play by Patrick Hamilton

**Producers**: Sidney Bernstein, Alfred Hitchcock

Loosely inspired by the &#8220;crime of the century,&#8221; the brutal thrill-killing of Bobby Franks by Leopold and Loeb, Alfred Hitchcock&#8217;s *Rope* is both a true crime and reclaimed Queer classic. Two friends attempt to prove they committed the perfect murder by hosting a dinner for the family of a classmate they strangled to death. Shot as one take (although craftily stitched together from 4 long takes) the taut terror commences in real-time. While the characters in the original play were explicitly homosexual, censorship in 1940s Hollywood only allowed for gay subtext and coding.

Sweet 16mm – Rare Notes

**Screenwriter**: Ingmar Bergman

**Producers**: Lars-Owe Carlberg, Ingmar Bergman

This existential wail of a drama from Ingmar Bergman concerns two sisters, Karin (Ingrid Thulin) and Maria (Liv Ullmann), keeping vigil for a third, Agnes (Harriet Andersson), who is dying of cancer and can find solace only in the arms of a beatific servant (Kari Sylwan). An intensely felt film that is one of Bergman’s most striking formal experiments, *Cries and Whispers* (which won an Oscar for the extraordinary color photography of Sven Nykvist) is a powerful depiction of human behavior in the face of death, positioned on the borders between reality and nightmare, tranquillity and terror.

The Guilty/Roses Are Red

Rotations presents *Aloïse* (1975) by Liliane de Kermadec (115m, French with English ST), starring Isabelle Huppert + Delphine Seyrig. Preceded by *Colors Folly* (1986), by Abraham Ségal (12m, in English).

∆

One of a handful of female outsider artists to earn praise from the early exponents of art brut, Aloïse Corbaz—born in modest circumstances in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1886; institutionalized as a schizophrenic in 1918; and kept under psychiatric observation until her death in 1964—is portrayed here by two of the premiere European actresses of their respective generations: Isabelle Huppert, who plays Corbaz as a ruminative, searching young woman, and Delphine Seyrig, astonishingly committed as the elder artist.

Newly restored by Cinémathèque Française and produced by Paul Vecchiali, de Kermadec’s sophomore feature is an ideal introduction to an unjustly forgotten giant of post–New Wave French cinema. In the same year of the release of *Aloïse*, de Kermadec would serve as one of the producers on Seyrig and Chantal Akerman’s *Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles*.

*Paul Thomas Anderson, USA, 2014, 35mm, 148 min.*

It starts as it always does: a woman. When Doc Sportello’s former old lady (Katherine Waterson) shows up with a loony story — a billionaire boyfriend, his ex-wife, and the plot to kidnap and banish said billionaire to an asylum — the private dick can’t say no. Now, it may be trouble or the thick layer of weed surrounding Paul Thomas Anderson’s perpetually stoned P.I. (Joaquin Phoenix), but something is certainly amiss in la-la land and soon Doc is stumbling through a parade of freaks and squares (but mostly freaks). Paul Thomas Anderson’s adaptation defies all neat explanations, instead choosing to fully submit to the heady buzz of Thomas Pynchon’s pot-fueled paranoia. From a cop-cum-chocolate banana fetishist (Josh Brolin) to Owen Wilson’s surf-jazz saxophonist, the film is one wild, wild trek through a cast of characters as majestic as the hills. Submit to its freakbeat. **Screening in 35mm! **

**Los Angeles premiere with Blair Barnes in person!**

We are excited to have filmmaker Andrew Bujalski and L.A.-based artist Blair Barnes in conversation following a short-and-feature pairing of *SITREP* and *COMPUTER CHESS*, the latter screening from a 35mm archival print. Both films were shot on the Sony AVC 3260, an analog tube video camera developed in the early 1970s which has a strangely beautiful black-and-white aesthetic, its shallow focus occasionally disrupted by blooms and smears of errant light. The filmmakers will discuss their distinctive approaches and inspirations behind using this idiosyncratic camera following the screening.

**Special thanks to Malkah Manuel (Lunette Films) and Julian Antos (Chicago Film Society).**

#### From Blair Barnes

“COMPUTER CHESS was released in 2013, after being filmed entirely on three Sony AVC 3260’s which were custom-fitted with an extra BNC outlet to make a stable, recorded image possible. Ultimately, one of the 3260’s was the main workhorse, as the 2:1 signal in the other two were less reliable. [DoP] Matthias Grunsky would describe the camera as having a “…transcendental character,” which endures as a representation of the Sony AVC 3250. SITREP, which will be making its debut in 2026, uses the 3250 as its foremost camera, with the Sony FX6 as the digital intermediary. Filmed almost entirely inside of an abandoned dialysis center, the project makes work of worldbuilding through encompassing tape loops and mismatches in frequency and frame rate to produce varied flicker lines, whereas COMPUTER CHESS transforms a murky hotel into uncanny chess tournament sprawl. Beyond Bujalski’s precision in nailing the period, the 3260 itself is an apt co-conspirator in slipping the piece into an idiosyncratic otherworld.

“The common denominator is the ⅔ inch tube. The evident draw is in the utility of the tube camera, and it is also in how these projects use inverse methods to speak to time, whether as a phonetic marker in *sitrep*, or an approximation of period in *COMPUTER CHESS*. There is also chronological resonance with the 1969 AVC 3260 being used in 2013, and its successor, the 1974 AVC 3250 being used in 2025.” – Blair Barnes

Gene Wilder plays the neurosurgeon descendent of the mythical Dr. Frankenstein. After stumbling on his original plans, the young Dr. Frankenstein (pronounced fronkenshteen) attempts to play God once again and bring a corpse back from the dead. With some of the funniest lines in cinema history and brilliant performances from Wilder, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman and Teri Garr, *Young Frankenstein* remains one of Mel Brooks&#8217; greatest triumphs.
