Fallen Angels @ 2:30PM & 5:00PM & 7:30PM

Lost souls reach out for human connection amidst the glimmering night world of Hong Kong in Wong Kar Wai’s hallucinatory, neon-soaked nocturne. Originally conceived as a segment of Chungking Express only to spin off on its own woozy axis, this hyper-cool head rush plays like the dark, moody flip side to Wong’s breakout feature as it charts the subtly interlacing fates of a handful of urban loners, including a coolly detached hitman (Leon Lai) looking to go straight, his business partner (Michelle Reis) who secretly yearns for him, and a mute delinquent (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who wreaks mischief by night. Swinging between hardboiled noir and slapstick lunacy with giddy abandon, Fallen Angels is both a dizzying, dazzling city symphony and a poignant meditation on love, loss, and longing in a metropolis that never sleeps.

The Natural History of Destruction

The Natural History of Destruction

In this compelling film by Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa, the devastation of World War II urban bombing campaigns is meticulously explored through archival footage. Inspired by W. G. Sebald's essay, the film raises critical questions about the morality of using civilian populations in warfare and whether mass destruction can ever be justified for higher ideals. This timely inquiry resonates deeply with current global contexts, making it a must-see event. The film features a score by Christiaan Verbeek, enhancing its emotional impact.

Diary of a Lost Girl

Diary of a Lost Girl

G. W. Pabst’s second film with Louise Brooks (after Pandora’s Box) was ruthlessly attacked by the censors and suffered merciless cuts everywhere it was shown. The restoration of this fascinating film was an international effort involving many cooperating film archives. Brooks plays a pharmacist’s daughter, Thymiane, who bears a child out of wedlock and is shunted off to a home for delinquent girls while her seducer is kept on as her father’s assistant. She escapes and finds refuge in a brothel, where the madam’s compassion and the milieu of overt sexuality offer a striking contrast with the cruel hypocrisy of her bourgeois family.
