Viewing Archived Events: Classic Film
Labyrinth (PG)
40th anniversary screening. Jim Henson’s cult fantasy fairy tale stars Jennifer Connelly as Sophie, whose baby brother has been kidnapped by David Bowie’s menacing Goblin King.
Sunset Boulevard (12A)
From the unforgettable opening sequence through the inevitable unfolding of tragic destiny, the film is the definitive statement on the dark and desperate side of Hollywood.
The Double Life of Veronique (15)
Kieślowski’s international breakthrough remains one of his most beloved films. Showing as part of our season of Polish films with The Box’s exhibition Remember, Respond, Resist.
The Exorcist (18) + Intro by Neil Rose
Considered by many the greatest horror film ever made, this masterful cinematic nightmare of demonic possession is a special treat for Halloween.
Donkey Skin (PG)
Jacques Demy’s Donkey Skin adapts Charles Perrault’s eponymous fairy tale into a surrealist musical that interrogates taboos, agency and cultural mythmaking.
Pépé Le Moko (PG)
Initially released during France’s cinematic Golden Age in 1937, Julien Duvivier’s timeless romantic thriller starring notable French talent Jean Gabin is deemed by critics as one of the most enjoyable films ever made.
Wild at Heart (18)
Directed by David Lynch, Wild at Heart is a Southern Gothic, crazed road-trip of a film that references The Wizard of Oz and melodramas of the Hollywood golden age in ways you will never forget.
Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (15)
Named by critics and scholars as the Greatest Film of All Time in the 2022 edition of Sight & Sound’s famed decennial poll, Jeanne Dielman is a modernist masterpiece.
Celebrating David Lynch: Blue Velvet (18)
As a celebration of the life of Director David Lynch, who died in January, we wanted to give everyone the opportunity to see the film that introduced audiences to his very personal blend of neo-noir, fairy tale, surrealism and small-town Americana.
It’s a Wonderful Life (U)
Is it even Christmas if you haven’t seen this film for the 408th time? Escape the last-minute shopping panic and settle down at PAC with a complimentary mince pie and the best Christmas film ever.
