The cornerstone of director Richard Linklater's career long exploration of cinematic time, this celebrated three-part romance captures a relationship as it begins, begins again, deepens, and strains over the course of almost two decades.
Chronicling the love of Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke), from their first meeting as idealistic twentysomethings to the disillusionment they face together in middle age, The Before Trilogy also serves as a document of a boundary-pushing and extraordinarily intimate collaboration between director and actors, as Delpy and Hawke imbue their characters with a sense of lived-in experience, and age on-screen along with them.
Attuned to the sweeping grandeur of time's passage as well as the evanescence of individual moments, the Before films chart the progress of romantic destiny as it navigates the vicissitudes of ordinary life.
FORMATS : Sunrise & Sunset = 35mm, Midnight = DCP.
Technology and sexuality meet in a head-on collision in David Cronenberg's controversial adaptation of writer J.G. Ballard's hugely transgressive 1973 novel, starring James Spader and Holly Hunter.
Spader stars as James Ballard, a film producer whose deviant sexual desires are awakened by a near-fatal automobile accident with Dr. Helen Remington (Hunter). Soon, the pair, alongside Ballard's wife Catherine (Deborah Kara Unger), are drawn into an underground world of car crash fetishism presided over by renegade scientist Vaughan (Elias Koteas). Danger, sex and death become entwined as eroticism and technology join together in a disturbing, deadly union.
This provocative Palme D’or winner is equal parts horrifying and hilarious. Titane follows one person (Agathe Rousselle) along a journey seeking love and acceptance. As a child they were in a horrific car accident, and as a result have a metal plate in the side of their head alongside a lifelong obsession with vehicles. This obsession mutates in increasingly grisly ways, as their life starts to unravel around them.
