The Catch (Shinji Somai, 1983, 140 mins)
The legendary Ken Ogata stars as a father and fisherman whose daughter's boyfriend wants to learn the perilous trade. Their brutal cross-generational struggle—leading to destruction on land and sea—shows how "for fishermen, there's only paradise or hell." In Japanese with English subtitles. Presented by the Yale Film Archive and the Yale MacMillan Center Council on East Asian Studies. 35mm print courtesy of the National Film Archive of Japan (NFAJ).
Sunset Blvd. (Billy Wilder, 1950, 110 mins)
New print! A hack screenwriter hides out at a fading film star's decaying compound in a black comedy that Andrew Sarris called "the best Hollywood movie ever made about Hollywood." Stellar performances by Gloria Swanson, William Holden, and Erich von Stroheim earned them three of the film's eleven Oscar nominations. 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive. Special thanks to Paramount Pictures Corporation.
Crooklyn (Spike Lee, 1994, 115 mins)
Alfre Woodard and Delroy Lindo lead the cast in a semi-autobiographical family tale written by siblings Spike, Joie, and Cinqué Lee. Set 50 years ago in Bed-Stuy, this "warmly nostalgic coming-of-age drama" is "at once street smart and sweetly sentimental" (Joe Leydon). The Staple Singers, Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield, Smokey Robinson, and Stevie Wonder grace the soundtrack. 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.

Post-screening discussion moderated by Kazembe Balagun. Prints from the Yale Film Archive.
Decision to Leave (Park Chan-wook, 2022, 139 mins)
