Description

Joel Schumacher's 1993 thriller Falling Down is a darkly comic, razor-sharp portrait of modern urban frustration, starring Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall. On a sweltering Los Angeles morning, a man known only as "D-Fens" (Douglas) abandons his car in a gridlocked traffic jam and sets off across the city on foot. He only wants to go home, but a series of everyday irritations escalates into explosive confrontations, leaving violence in his wake. Veteran cop Prendergast (Duvall), on his quiet final day before retirement, pieces the events together and hunts the dangerous man. As the two men's paths converge, the film asks whether D-Fens is a victim of an oppressive society or a man showing his true colors. Darkly funny and eerily prescient, it remains one of the most unforgettable portraits of rage in modern American cinema, now restored in 4K.

Description

Three of France's most beloved fictional detectives share one film in Full House (Brelan d'as), a portmanteau policier from director Henri Verneuil. Monsieur Wens (Raymond Rouleau), created by Stanislas-André Steeman, is puzzled by a suspect who seems to have the perfect alibi — he was with Wens at the time of the murder. Peter Cheyney's Lemmy Caution (John van Dreelen) becomes entangled with a femme fatale while tackling a jewel robbery. In the final segment, Georges Simenon's Inspector Maigret (Michel Simon) solves a murder from his sickbed with the aid of an altar boy. Verneuil's triple-helping of post-war Gallic noir was co-written by Jacques Companéez and André Tabet.

Description

A stark departure from Yves Boisset's other works, La Travestie is an abrasive look at patriarchy and identity. Lawyer Nicole (Zabou Breitman), driven by frustration and male hypocrisy in her personal and professional lives, leaves her law firm and her hometown and reinvents herself as a man. In Paris, the friends she makes turn to lovers, and lovers turn to enemies; she suffocates in the identities she creates and lets rejection make a villain of her, until insecurities turn to tragedy and she has nowhere to turn. Centring on female psychosexuality without demonising it, the film presents challenging gender dynamics and trans imagery at a time when neither was common in mainstream cinema — a character study about the plight of women in late-1980s France.

Suffused with tenderness and deadpan humor, The Love That Remains asks what happens when a relationship ends but the bonds of caring endure.

Juggling intimate scenes of adults at work and children at play with wild intrusions of surrealism, it is a strange, poignant study of family life in all its beauty and confusion.

Description

Produced in 1948 under the aegis of the U.S. Navy Club, this anti-fascist film turns Nazi propaganda against itself, countering footage from Triumph of the Will with images from the Nuremberg trials and the liberated camps to puncture the myth of the Aryan superman and expose the Nazi leadership as petty, luxury-drunk autocrats. In 1972, exploitation producer Dwain Esper re-edited it as Conform or Die, adding bombastic narration and shocking footage to widen the attack to all 20th-century despots. Kino's edition, mastered in 2K and 4K from the original 35mm negatives and several 35mm prints, presents the most complete versions of both films.
