Join us for a 15th anniversary screening of Kim Ki-duk's chamber drama Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring, with an introduction by Young Sun Park. Set entirely at a floating monastery, the film chronicles the life of a Buddhist monk from childhood to old age. Critic Derek Elley called it "a sublime, witty, gritty, and transcendental movie," while Andrew Sarris said it "probably represents the purest and most transcendent distillation of the Buddhist faith ever rendered on the screen." 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.

It's a night of psychological dramas in Through Bergman's Lens: Ingmar Bergman Centenary Film Series. TIME  called Through a Glass Darkly "one of the best and certainly the ripest of Ingmar Bergman's creations," while Michael Wilmington praised Persona as "one of the screen's supreme works and perhaps Ingmar Bergman's finest film." Introduction by Professor David Bromwich. 35mm prints from the Yale Film Archive.

Join us as we explore conspicuous consumption, extreme income inequality, and the power of celebrity through Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette.

Max von Sydow stars in the next two films in Through Bergman's Lens: Ingmar Bergman Centenary Film Series. Elliott Stein described The Seventh Seal as "Bergman’s visually striking medieval morality play, the work that gained him an international reputation," while John Monaghan admired The Magician's "elements of Gothic horror and philosophy, along with lusty, low comedy rolls." Introduction by Professor Martin Hägglund.

Through Bergman's Lens: Ingmar Bergman Centenary Film Series begins with two films from 1953 starring the great Harriet Andersson. Dave Kehr wrote that Summer with Monika shows Bergman's "developing ability to probe the psychology of a rich, vital woman without losing his objectivity," while Derek Adams praised Sawdust and Tinsel's "richly baroque compositions and persistent use of deep focus brilliantly exploiting the circus and theatre settings." 35mm prints from the Yale Film Archive.
