Hold Me Tight
"One of the best films of the year." - RogerEbert.com
Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread, Bergman Island) gives another riveting performance as Clarisse, a woman on the run from her family for reasons that aren’t immediately clear in Mathieu Amalric’s most ambitious directorial outing.
Join Amalric and Krieps in person for a Sneak Preview tonight at 7pm followed by a Q&A. Plus, don't miss the duo at a free Film Comment Live talk this Friday, September 9, at 6:30pm!
Give a listen to Almalric's curated Spotify playlist for Hold Me Tight and experience it in the theater before the show.
Held Over! | Exclusive 35mm screenings
Funny Pages
"A deliciously-dark coming-of-age comedy" - The Guardian
In this hilariously dark, pleasantly unexpected coming-of-age story from actor-turned-director Owen Kline, a promising 17-year-old artist (Daniel Zolghadri, Eighth Grade) abandons school and his spoiled suburban lifestyle to live as a cartoonist on the outskirts of Trenton, and among the city’s fringe figures to whom he willingly gravitates.
Give a listen to Kline's curated Spotify playlist and experience it in the theater before the show.
Three Colors Trilogy
Blue – Returns Friday | White – Returns Friday | Red – Now Playing
This boldly cinematic trio of stories about love and loss, from Krzysztof Kie?lowski was a defining event of the art-house boom of the 1990s. The films are named for the colors of the French flag and stand for the tenets of the French Revolution—liberty, equality, and fraternity—but that hardly begins to explain their enigmatic beauty and rich humanity. Set in Paris, Warsaw, and Geneva, and ranging from tragedy to comedy, Blue, White, and Red (Kie?lowski’s final film) examine with artistic clarity a group of ambiguously interconnected people experiencing profound personal disruptions. Marked by intoxicating cinematography and stirring performances by such actors as Juliette Binoche, Julie Delpy, Irène Jacob, and Jean-Louis Trintignant, Kie?lowski’s Three Colors is a benchmark of contemporary cinema.
See all three newly restored films in the trilogy—the first time all three play together at FLC!—and save: $30 (General Public) / $25 (Members). Discount automatically applied at checkout.
The Cathedral
"A movie filled with restrained feeling and shimmers of beauty" - NY Times Critic's Pick!
Slicing across decades with impressionistic precision, The Cathedral tells the formally economical yet engrossing story of the Damrosch family, whose quiet rise and fall is seen through the eyes of its youngest member, Jesse, born in the late 1980s. Using photographs and archival news footage to buttress his oblique drama, D’Ambrose shows how a family’s financial and emotional wear and tear can subtly reflect a country’s sociopolitical fortunes and follies. A New Directors/New Films 2022 selection.
Give a listen to Ricky D'Ambrose's curated Spotify playlist and experience it in the theater before the show.
Coming Soon
Opens September 16
Infernal Affairs Trilogy
Andrew Lau and Alan Mak’s groundbreaking policier saga traded the high-octane ballistics of earlier Hong Kong films for a cooler, crisper style and a head-spinning plot full of twists that forever changed the genre. See all three newly restored films and save: $30 (GP) / $25 (Members).
