Robert Mitchum: Playing It Cool
Featuring a new introduction by critic Imogen Sara Smith
Original Hollywood bad boy Robert Mitchum’s blend of rugged masculinity, antiauthoritarian attitude, and lightly bemused irony made him one of the defining faces of postwar film noir, a genre upon which he left an indelible mark in stone-cold classics like Out of the Past, Crossfire, and Angel Face. Unnervingly at home in antihero roles, he embodied some of the most frightening villains in all of cinema, including the menacing, knuckle-tattooed preacher in Charles Laughton’s dark fairy tale The Night of the Hunter and the psychotic ex-con out for revenge in the terrifying home-invasion thriller Cape Fear. But out of the noir shadows, Mitchum’s nonchalant air and unforced naturalism lent something special to a wide array of films, including William A. Wellman’s fascinatingly stylized snowbound western Track of the Cat and Vincente Minnelli’s florid family melodrama Home from the Hill. Encompassing Mitchum’s autumnal turns in films like the world-weary crime drama The Friends of Eddie Coyle and Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man, this career-spanning tribute to the legend known as “Old Rumple Eyes” is proof positive that he was, quite simply, one of the all-time coolest guys ever to grace the screen.

Fox Noir
Featuring a new introduction by critic Imogen Sara Smith
The dark unconscious of midcentury America is reflected in these shadowy gems from Twentieth Century-Fox, where major directors like Otto Preminger, Elia Kazan, and Samuel Fuller, working with stars like Richard Widmark, Gene Tierney, and Dana Andrews, created some of the defining film noirs of the genre’s golden era. Featuring the sophisticated murder mystery Laura, the haunting existential carnival ride Nightmare Alley (based on the same novel as Guillermo del Toro’s soon-to-be-released remake), and the Technicolor noir Niagara, starring Marilyn Monroe in her screen-scorching breakthrough performance, this selection of pulp classics and rarities is a plunge into the darkest realms of Hollywood’s imagination.

Between Us Girls: Bonds Between Women
The intense, intimate ties that bind women are at the center of these wide-ranging portraits of female friendship and sisterhood that explore the ways in which women support each other: through gestures of solidarity, the sharing of confidences, playfulness, spontaneity, and adventure. From nuanced portraits of transformative adolescent friendships (Old Enough, Just Another Girl on the I.R.T., Girlhood) to affecting stories of women helping each other through personal crises (Passion Fish, Fourteen) to incisive studies of the complexities of sisterhood (The Virgin Suicides, Margot at the Wedding, Mustang), the relationships on display within these films are idiosyncratic and often troubled, but also a source of strength and empowerment.

Read All About It!
In the cutthroat world of the newsroom, what goes on behind the scenes is often as juicy as the headlines splashed across the front page—at least if these ink-stained classics are to be believed. Pressure-cooker deadlines, muckraking, whistle-blowing, backstabbing, libel, ethical dilemmas, and the desperate, unscrupulous lengths some reporters will go to get a story—it’s all part of the industry that makes the news cycle go round. From snappy pre-Code template-setters (Five Star Final, Blessed Event) to whirlwind screwball comedies (Nothing Sacred, His Girl Friday) and hard-hitting social exposés (Gentleman’s Agreement, Ace in the Hole), this hot-off-the-presses lineup has the scoop on the stories behind the stories.

Directed by Elia Kazan
An artist forged on the cutting edge of New York City’s pioneering Group Theatre, director Elia Kazan was instrumental in bringing the modern Method style of acting—and by extension an intensely heightened emotional and psychological realism—to Hollywood cinema. Never one to shy away from controversy, he broke new ground in the depiction of anti-Semitism (Gentleman’s Agreement), racism (Pinky), class struggle (On the Waterfront), sexuality (Baby Doll), and media manipulation (A Face in the Crowd) on-screen, along the way guiding then-unknown actors like Marlon Brando and James Dean to career-making performances. Though his personal legacy was forever tarnished by his friendly testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee, Kazan’s body of work continues to electrify with some of the most searing explorations of outsiderhood and injustice in all of American cinema.
- Boomerang!, 1947
- Gentleman’s Agreement, 1947
- Pinky, 1949
- Panic in the Streets, 1950
- Viva Zapata!, 1952

American Psychosis: Five Films by Frank Perry
Renowned for his empathetic studies of characters afflicted by mental illness and bourgeois malaise, trailblazing independent filmmaker Frank Perry found critical acclaim with the groundbreaking independent drama David and Lisa, the Burt Lancaster-starring suburban fantasia The Swimmer, and the New York yuppie tragicomedy Diary of a Mad Housewife, all written by his then-wife and collaborator Eleanor Perry. While his early films were celebrated for their sensitivity and nuance, Perry has perhaps become best known for the cult classic that made wire hangers infamous: his searing and controversial Joan Crawford biopic Mommie Dearest, built around a ferocious, often frightening performance by Faye Dunaway.
- David and Lisa, 1962
- The Swimmer, 1968
- Diary of a Mad Housewife, 1970
- Man on a Swing, 1974
- Mommie Dearest, 1981

Truman & Tennessee: An Intimate Conversation
The brilliant work, personal struggles, and cultural impact of American writers Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams explode onto the screen in this innovative dual-portrait documentary. Filmmaker Lisa Immordino Vreeland masterfully collages a wealth of archival material, including dishy talk-show appearances with Dick Cavett and David Frost, with clips from some of the most memorable movie adaptations of the duo’s work: A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and In Cold Blood. Featuring vivid voiceover work by Jim Parsons (Capote) and Zachary Quinto (Williams), Truman & Tennessee: An Intimate Conversation is a celebration of both men’s fearless candor and tumultuous friendship that explores how their identity as gay southerners informed their timeless artistic achievements and relationships with family, colleagues, confidants, and each other.

This Is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection
Berlin-based Mosotho filmmaker Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese’s devastating and hypnotic This Is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection marks the emergence of a major filmmaker and the swan song of a remarkable actress. The late Mary Twala Mhlongo, recognizable from Beyoncé’s blockbuster musical Black Is King, gives a career-capping performance as Mantoa, an eighty-year-old woman who has lived in a small Lesotho village for her entire life. While preparing for her own death, she receives word of an accident that has killed her only son, leaving her entirely alone, with only the respect of her neighbors, the traditions of her ancestors, and the courage of her convictions. When her community must relocate to make way for a nearby dam that threatens to flood her family’s burial ground, Mantoa draws a line in the sand and becomes an unlikely political and spiritual leader. Cryptic and impressionistic, this magical-realist tale of the tension between tradition and progress has already been hailed as a landmark in African cinema.
