### **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.

DEAD AGAIN

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Spanish with English subtitles.*

Medellin, 1987. A group of teen outcasts steals a news camera to document every detail of their dangerous lives. The first feature from acclaimed photographer and Bad Bunny music video director Stillz redefines the found footage genre as a haunting, poignant coming-of-age story with a disturbing twist. Set to an awe-inspiring score by Arca and produced by Harmony Korine’s collective EDGLRD, the film taps into the anxieties of a youth culture from the margins of history yearning to be understood.

It&#8217;s Showtime Folks! Bob Fosse only made a handful of films (in between revolutionizing the world of dance), and while all are impressive, none deliver as much razzle-dazzle as this seminal semi-autobiographical masterpiece. Joe Gideon (Roy Scheider) is at the top of his craft as one of the most successful directors and choreographers in musical theater. 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. Winner of the Palme d&#8217;Or at the Cannes Film Festival and nominated for 9 Academy Awards, *All That Jazz* is a musical like no other and a cinematic triumph on every level.

While her life seems picturesque &#8212; complete with an adoring husband (Eric Rahill), ride-or-die best friend (Kate Berlant) and a cupboard full of woman-owned ethically-sourced chili crisp to boot &#8212; mounting professional pressures threaten to reawaken a hidden secret from her troubled past.

Sparked by the discovery of the lifeless body of a teenage girl in the desert; When no one claims the body, Noelle Al Saffan, a newly divorced, true crime aficionado who recently lost a child of her own, gets obsessively involved. Despite a ticking clock that seemingly guarantees the girl’s senseless death will be discarded as a cold case, Noelle is determined to identify the body and uncover the truth.

**Screenwriter:** Sadayuki Murai

**Producers:** Hitomi Nakagaki, Yoshihisa Ishihara, Yutaka Tōgō, Masao Maruyama, Hiroaki Inoue

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.

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.

### **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. This collection of shorts from archives around the country reveals the many ways—from amateur to avant-garde—that American filmmakers have used movies to inform, honor, document, and critique. 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).

Young love can be a monster in this sizzling queer Australian slow-burn horror. Two teenage boys must escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most — each other.

A staggering work of existential science fiction, Hiroshi Teshigahara&#8217;s *The Face of Another* dissects identity with the sure hand of a surgeon. Okuyama (*Yojimbo*&#8216;s Tatsuya Nakadai), after being burned and disfigured in an industrial accident and estranged from his family and friends, agrees to his psychiatrist&#8217;s radical experiment: a face transplant, created from the mold of a stranger. As Okuyama is thus further alienated from the world around him, he finds himself giving in to his darker temptations. With unforgettable imagery, Teshigahara&#8217;s film explores both the limits and freedom in acquiring a new persona, and questions the notion of individuality itself.

L.A. premiere 2K restoration by the British Film Institute, released by Seventy-Seven

followed by: LINTON KWESI JOHNSON IN CONCERT, directed by Roger Thomas, 1985, UK, 26m, digital.

~

We are thrilled to present this stunning verité documentary about the legendary dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson (LKJ)—which paints a vivid cinematic portrait of Brixton in the late 1970’s on the cusp of Thatcherism—paired with a rare concert film originally broadcast on British television.

A member of the British Black Panthers, the 27-year-old LKJ we see on screen had already become an essential voice for British African-Caribbean youth, pioneering a genre known as dub poetry: militant passionate verse about the Black liberation struggle in Britain set to heavy dub. Director Franco Rosso (BABYLON) kinetically documents LKJ’s live poetry and reggae performances; his recording and mixing sessions with producer Dennis Bovell; and his activism, including a powerful protest for the unjustly imprisoned Black Briton George Lindo, about whom Johnson wrote “It Dread inna Inglan.” The film gained national attention when its TV premiere was delayed by the BBC until Margaret Thatcher was elected, so great was the concern about Johnson’s powers of persuasion. Originally screened at the Los Angeles Independent Film Exposition (FilmEx) in 1980 and unseen since its U.S. premiere, we are honored to revive DREAD BEAT AN’ BLOOD for L.A. audiences in a beautiful new restoration.

“One of the most powerful examples of the pervasive influence that Jamaican and reggae culture had on 1970s England.” -Ink 19

“A GEM... A portrait of the artist as principled activist.” -Sasha Frere-Jones, 4Columns

“If any young artists need to know about longevity and integrity, Linton Kwesi Johnson is the one to look to... He knew his path and he walked it. His words are still relevant and that reggae bass is still vibrating.” -Steve McQueen

Total runtime: 72 min. In English and Jamaican patois. Special thanks to Gabriele Caroti (Seventy-Seven) and Pauline Kraatz.

*I&#8217;m mad as Hell and I&#8217;m not going to take it anymore!* One of the greatest satiric thrillers of all time, Sidney Lumet&#8217;s paranoid masterpiece *Network* has never stopped being relevant in an ever-increasingly corporate world. The UBS network is ready to retire their anchorman Howard Beale after 25 years. In an on-air tirade, Beale announces his plan to kill himself on TV. When ratings sky-rocket, Beale&#8217;s angry prophet routine becomes big business, and UBS decides to go even harder into extreme programming. Savagely funny, soul-shatteringly prescient, and with unbelievable performances from Peter Finch and Faye Dunaway, it&#8217;s easy to see how this film won 4 Oscars and continues to stay timely &#8211; 50 years later.

The Green Slime/Yongary

Green Border (Zielona granica) with Agnieszka Holland

Rootless Hungarian émigré Willie (John Lurie), his pal Eddie (Richard Edson), and visiting sixteen-year-old cousin Eva (Eszter Balint) always manage to make the least of any situation, whether aimlessly traversing the drab interiors and environs of New York City, Cleveland, or an anonymous Florida suburb. With its delicate humor and dramatic nonchalance, Jim Jarmusch&#8217;s one-of-a-kind minimalist masterpiece, _Stranger Than Paradise_, forever transformed the landscape of American independent cinema.

ENCHANTED STRINGS: The Story of BOB BAKER MARIONETTE THEATER

**Screenwriter**: Lucía Aleñar Iglesias

**Producers**: Tono Folguera,  Bàrbara Ferrer,  Cesc Mulet,  Ariadna Dot,  Marta Cruañas

Join us in our microcinema for the haunted Spanish vacation your summer was missing with this tender and otherworldly film of loss, ghosts, and grief from filmmaker Lucía Aleñar Iglesias. Cata will see her summer vacation disrupted by the absurd and sudden death of her grandmother, which only she witnesses. Her grief shifts when she casually turns to play pretend, transforming into the deceased. What begins with a game of dress-up will blur the lines of reality and family roles. With absolutely stunning cinematography (with an incredible use of framing), the exquisite backdrop of the Catalonian coastline, and a breathy and ethereal vibe, this is one of the loveliest ghost stories you may ever see.

CRITIC&#8217;S PICK *&#8220;ENCHANTING&#8230; An exquisitely deconstructed ghost story, a muted mystery that beguiles while remaining deeply grounded in its evocative setting.&#8221;*

— Natalia Winkelman, The New York Times
*★★★★ LUMINOUS, SPELLBINDING&#8230; Tight and taut&#8230;a major discovery, handling grief with alluring stylistic choices that enhance the already remarkable narrative. If ghosts exist, Aleñar Iglesias has learned the cinematic sorcery to house them.&#8221;*

You might want to look out for the creepy caretaker Norman and his overbearing mother, they make a killer team. After Marion Crane goes on the run after stealing a wad of cash she ends up at the historic resort and gets more hospitality than she bargained for.

Join us for a full day of killer films that inspired Jane Schoenbrun&#8217;s *Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma* presented by our friends at MUBI.

Brian De Palma turns up the sleaze with Hitchocockian inspiration in this killer thriller. Taking a few pages out of *Psycho*&#8216;s playbook, but amping up the sex and violence, this stylish erotic thriller pays homage to the master of suspense while retaining De Palma&#8217;s signature sordidness and cinematic tricks. After witnessing a mysterious woman brutally slay a homemaker, sex worker Liz Blake finds herself trapped in a dangerous situation. While the police thinks she is the murderer, the real killer is intent on silencing her only witness. Come for Angie Dickinson in the shower and stay for Michael Caine as a twisted sex therapist!

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

From Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Ryan Coogler, SINNERS is a genre-bending and multi-layered exploration of Black culture and the Blues music that is unique to it, told through the lens of a Southern Gothic epic. Set in 1932 Mississippi, Michael B. Jordan stars as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who, after chasing success in the North, return to Clarksdale, Mississippi to open a juke joint and revive the soul and spirit of their hometown. As music and dance meld in celebration of artistry, culture and history, an evil descends, threatening to devour the fabric and heart of the community — and all that Smoke and Stack have worked to achieve. Uniquely shot on both Ultra Panavision 70 and IMAX 70mm, SINNERS is a singular and emotionally resonant tale of cultural change that resonates still today.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Japanese with English subtitles.*

A prestige talent showcase for Toho, led by the venerable Aiko Mimasu alongside Setsuko Hara and Hideko Takamine, and supported by a dozen further major and minor stars of the era, Naruse’s full color melodrama is a feat of directorial command, never once buckling under its own widescreen weight. Concerning the ill fortunes of a widowed mother (Mimasu) and her five adult children as they endure a string of destabilizing personal and financial shocks, this melancholy picture of a Japanese family’s gradual disintegration evokes Naruse’s friend and critical rival Ozu with its succession of domestic rearrangements and tests of filial responsibility. Small wonder that Ozu favorite Chishu Ryu makes an eleventh hour cameo.

Twin Peaks: The Original Mystery – Episodes 5 + 6

Los Angeles Filmforum presents *George: The Story of George Maciunas and Fluxus*, by Jeff Perkins. With Jeff Perkins in person!

In conjunction with the exhibition *Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind*, Running May 23 - October 11 at The Broad.

Full info: www.lafilmforum.org

*George: The Story of George Maciunas and Fluxus* is a feature documentary as mercurial as its subject, George Maciunas, impresario of the international avant-garde art movement Fluxus (1962-78). Fascinatingly contradictory interviews with artists, including Yoko Ono, Jonas Mekas, and Nam June Paik, and inventive sound and screen design, shape this rich portrait of a visionary artist. Dedicated to cooperative methods and expanded processes, everything could be Fluxus: kits, shops, festivals, islands, weddings, food, or Flux Lofts – the first network of artist-owned lofts in SoHo, New York. The iconoclastic Maciunas and the spirit of Fluxus provoke questions still critical to artists working today.

When the Italian Mafia threatens to kill a crooked bookie (John Turturro), Irish mob boss Leo O&#8217;Bannon (Albert Finney) refuses to allow it, chiefly because he&#8217;s dating the bookie&#8217;s sister, crafty gun moll Verna Bernbaum (Marcia Gay Harden). Leo&#8217;s right-hand man, Tom Reagan (Gabriel Byrne), is also seeing Verna on the sly, and when he&#8217;s found out is obliged to switch sides, going to work for the Italian mob amidst a dramatically escalating gang war over liquor distribution.
