OPENING FROM DEC 2nd
Dec. 2-11 · Producer Kazuko Misawa In Person
Yoshimitsu Morita Retrospective
Across a 30-plus-year career, Yoshimitsu Morita (1950–2011) amassed one of the most fascinatingly idiosyncratic and prolific bodies of work in modern Japanese cinema. Get lost with us in his cinematic labyrinth of desire, chaos, and joy.
This weekend, Kazuko Misawa, longtime producer of Morita’s works, will join FLC audiences to introduce four of the films presented as part of the retrospective: The Black House, Deaths in Tokimeki, The Family Game, and Lost Paradise (with composer Michiru Oshima).
Opening Night Screening + Reception: Ticket holders for Friday's 6:30pm screening of The Family Game (new 4K remaster!) are invited to a reception immediately following the screening at the Frieda and Roy Furman Gallery.
Opens on Dec 2nd · Q&A with Joanna Hogg and Martin Scorsese on Dec. 3 at 3:30pm—standby only!
The Eternal Daughter
"A magnificent achievement... [Hogg is] a master of meta storytelling."—The Wrap
Joanna Hogg uses a Victorian gothic scenario for an entirely surprising, impeccably crafted, and, finally, overwhelming excavation of a parent-child relationship and the impulse toward artistic creation. And Tilda Swinton, in a performance of rich, endless surprise, turns in one of the most remarkable acting feats in her astonishing career.
