Chasing shadows. You're played out.\"\n\nBREATHLESS. TOKYO DRIFTER. POINT BLANK. The 1960s saw a shift in crime films, where the grit and grime of American Noir began to blend with the artistic flourishes of New Wave filmmakers. Style became paramount, narratives shifted in psychedelic directions, and for American directors, the Hays Code's restrictions became somewhat more permeable.\n\nSometimes considered the first American neo-noir, POINT BLANK is a truly strange and thorny piece of cinema. Directed by John Boorman (DELIVERANCE, THE EXORCIST II, EXCALIBUR) and based on the Parker crime novels of Donald E. Westlake, POINT BLANK tells the sensitive story of professional criminal and all-around tough guy, Walker (Lee Marvin), who embarks on a revenge-fueled rampage after being double-crossed and left for dead by his “partner,” Mal (John Vernon). Walker is uniquely fixated on Mal, and not unlike previous Queer Film Theory 101 entry BRANDED TO KILL, the macho man, manly, so-masculine-it-can’t-possibly-be-gay antics that ensue are loaded to the gills with subtext. Bizarre, fractured, and gorgeously rendered, POINT BLANK is a mythic tale of American disillusionment and brutality. A crime film born in a dreamlike liminal reality, a beautiful, emptying world of distrust and loneliness. (Does it sound weird yet?) Deeply influential, POINT BLANK is a must-see film for anyone who loves movies. It’s that important. But enough about its influence; is Angie Dickinson in it being cunty as all hell? You bet she is! Wait, is Archie Bunker (Carroll O’Connor) from All In The Family in this movie? YES! Put on your tailored suit and bring your clandestine briefcase full of secret documents and/or money to our special Noirvember screening of this classic film.\n\nBritish director John Boorman brought a European sensibility to a Los Angeles neo-noir: POINT BLANK is Antonioni plus violence, Francesco Rosi without politics. The title reverberates like a pun-point: blank. Lee Marvin is Walker, left for dead in an Alcatraz heist and now out to find the $93,000 he has coming. No more, no less, unless you count revenge. The trail leads to the City of Angels and the syndicate that runs it out of car lots and Santa Monica penthouses, the kind of places you know exist only with a little larceny. Picking up on the modern surface of his locale, Boorman takes a champagne-blonde color scheme to a hallucinatory degree, blonde on blond, like Angie Dickinson's bouffant and Marvin's silvery pate (here, we have the bad, the brunette, and the bald). Los Angeles is inherently horizontal. The payoff, visually and narratively, occurs in that storm drain affectionately known as the L.A. River, viewed from a bridge over imagined waters.

Starring an A-list cast that includes Saoirse Ronan (reunited from LADY BIRD), Florence Pugh (MIDSOMMAR), Emma Watson (HARRY POTTER series), Eliza Scanlen (Sharp Objects), and Timothée Chalamet (CALL ME BY YOUR NAME), Gerwig creates a beautiful story of sisterhood that touches on themes of grief, first loves, and female independence.\n\nThe film follows four sisters growing up in Massachusetts during the Civil War, each of them ambitious in their own ways. Saoirse Ronan plays the lead of the film, Jo March, a cunning young woman who dreams of telling stories for a living when she is older. She is often befuddled by her sister Meg (Watson), who desires to one day be a wife; is annoyed by Amy (Pugh), who trails after her like a little puppy; and is enamored with Beth (Scanlen), who is perhaps the kindest of them all.\n\nGerwig’s LITTLE WOMEN is like a cozy hug on a brisk winter day. A lovely story that brilliantly balances tears with laughs, it’s no wonder it became an instant holiday classic when it was released in theaters seven years ago.\n\nHaving already once revolutionized the coming-of-age story with her debut LADY BIRD, Greta Gerwig has somehow outdone herself with this gorgeous and thoroughly original rendition of the beloved Louisa May Alcott classic. Bringing her effusive humor, authenticity, and irresistible warmth to the otherwise mannered Civil War-era New England, Gerwig's adaptation of LITTLE WOMEN breathes visceral new life into the March sisters – portraying them as unique, complicated, flawed, and astonishingly human. So human that you will leave the theater wanting to text Jo March and, for several reasons, this will not be a possibility.\n\nYou may also find it physically impossible not to chef's kiss at the cast, which is as close to pitch-perfect as it gets. Starring Saoirse Ronan as Jo, Emma Watson as Meg, Florence Pugh as Amy, and Eliza Scanlen as Beth, LITTLE WOMEN also features Laura Dern (!), Meryl Streep (!), Bob Odenkirk (!), and Timothée Chalamet as the dashing but lovelorn Laurie (!!!).\n\nSave for a fireworks show, sky-written ode, or Mount Rushmore-type situation, we cannot recommend this rich, heartrending wonder of a film anymore.

Winter is upon us; it’s theoretically supposed to be getting colder, and cuffing season is well underway. It’s the perfect time to watch EYES WIDE SHUT, Stanley Kubrick’s erotic holiday mystery film about how heterosexual marriage is one big spooky lie! That’s right, “cineaphiles,” we’re closing out our 2026 syllabus applying the Queer Film Theory 101 lens to one of the GOATs. The straights are gonna be mad at us!\n\nDr. Bill Harford (Tom Cruise) and his wife, Alice (Nicole Kidman), seem to have it all: a thriving medical practice, a healthy young daughter, and a fancy-ass New York apartment, but something uncomfortable simmers beneath the surface of their idyllic heterosexual bliss. When Alice reveals a sexy little secret desire, Bill is sent into a tailspin, leading to an odyssey of sexual tourism through the seedy underbelly of New York’s upper crust. For whatever reason, Tom Cruise is exceptionally gifted at portraying a man crumbling under the weight of a masculinity in crisis, and Nicole Kidman shines as a woman who's had it with the trophy wife lifestyle. Featuring an incredible supporting cast including Sydney Pollack, Todd Field, and a cheeky cameo from bisexual icon Alan Cumming, EYES WIDE SHUT is a perfect movie to watch if you want to get in a confusing and convoluted argument with your partner just before the holidays. It will leave you apologizing profusely, but you won't be exactly sure what you’re apologizing for. “Don't you think one of the charms of marriage is that it makes deception a necessity for both parties?”\n\nIn IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE, Jimmy Stewart’s George Bailey, at the height of his suicidal despair and panic, imagines a world in which he doesn’t exist. Stanley Kubrick goes one step further in sending Tom Cruise down an odyssey of sexual confusion and paranoia to learn the true meaning of Christmas.\n\nAdapted from the Austrian short story Traumnovelle, Kubrick’s final film peeks us into the privileged world of Dr. Bill Hartford and his wife Alice (Cruise and Nicole Kidman), two well-to-do attractive socialites who, by all accounts, have it made. In a marijuana-fueled argument, Alice reveals thoughts of infidelity that send Bill into an existential panic, leading to an absurdist walkabout through New York that involves – you guessed it – a mysterious sex cult run by a shrouded aristocracy.\n\nDid Kubrick make this to break up Cruise and Kidman’s marriage? How much did he know about mysterious sex trafficking rings? Did Sydney Pollack originate the shirtless-in-suspenders look? Clearly, the film poses more questions than it answers. For certain, EYES WIDE SHUT is a brutally funny sexscapade that puts an ellipses at the end of Kubrick’s storied career – and, most importantly – stands as a crucial text for our modern world.
