Spectacle
Santa Sangre
Jodorowsky's unforgettable third film (after El Topo and Holy Mountain--and years trying to get Dune made) is a cavalcade of burning images, a circus of strange.
Fitzcarraldo
Herzog's grandest folly was almost his undoing, but became his greatest triumph. One of cinema's least convincing Irishmen, Klaus Kinski plays Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald, who has a dream to bring opera to the Amazon.
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Coppola's audaciously woozy, cinematically audacious take on the vampire myth is like a symphonic silent movie in full colour.
Apocalypse Now: Final Cut
The definitive rendering of Francis Coppola's 1979 Vietnam War magnum opus marks the last hurrah of the New Hollywood of the 70s and the end of our Ragged Glory: Summer in the 70s season.
The Fall (4K Restoration)
