CLASSIC
This year, we relish the opportunity to celebrate screen musicals, as the BFI have prepared significant rereleases of several classic films: Jacques Demy’s enduring, impossibly romantic The Umbrellas of Cherbourg; Ken Russell’s compellingly insane rock opera Tommy; and the greatest of them all: Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly’s Singin’ in the Rain.
Films selected to complement the new work we present include Chantal Akerman’s landmark Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, which features Delphine Seyrig (the subject of Callisto McNulty’s delightful documentary Delphine and Carole) in her most celebrated role, and What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael, Rob Garver’s portrait of a true titan of
film criticism, which provides context for a screening of Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and Clyde, the film Kael is credited with saving from obscurity. Paul Wegener’s 1920 classic Der Golem is presented in a brilliant new 4K restoration, there’s a 20th-anniversary screening of Stanley Kubrick’s dark, divisive Eyes Wide Shut, and a rare opportunity to see Irish family favourite Into the West in the cinema, while our late-night screening
of Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Shinya Tsukamoto’s 1989 cyberpunk body-horror masterpiece, marks 30 years of the film freaking people out!
