In Taipei City, a cavernous old picture palace is about to close its doors forever. An exquisite, wryly funny and tender tribute to the experience of movie-going, Tsai Ming-Liang's poignant love letter to cinema is one of the most beguiling and beloved dramas of modern times and is now widely regarded as a classic.

Daisies

Věra Chytilová unleashes an optical storm of fluctuating film stocks, kaleidoscopic montages, cartoonish stop-motion cutouts, and surreal costumes. The result is Daisies, the most defiant provocation of the Czechoslovak New Wave, an exuberant call to rebellion aimed squarely at those who uphold authoritarian oppression in any form.

The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant

In the early 1970s, Rainer Werner Fassbinder discovered the American melodramas of Douglas Sirk and was inspired by them to begin working in a new, more intensely emotional register. One of the first and best-loved films of this period in his career is The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant, which balances a realistic depiction of tormented romance with staging that remains true to the director’s roots in experimental theater.

Wendy and Lucy

Lucy is the dog. Wendy is her owner, a 20-something urchin chasing dreams of economic stability in Alaska and trying to cross the country in a shaky car and a precariously small amount of cash in a money belt. A high point of Reichardt’s career, Wendy and Lucy stands as a defining work of the neo-realist filmmaking that transformed American independent cinema in the early 2000s.
