Wim Wenders’ sublime, Palme d’Or-winning road movie traverses the mythic landscapes of the American Southwest as Harry Dean Stanton’s amnesiac desert drifter searches for his estranged wife (Nastassja Kinski).
“A triumph of feeling and style. So operatic that you come away with sequences in your head like arias.”—Pauline Kael
One of the most visually ravishing films ever made, Bernardo Bertolucci’s international breakthrough was this landmark political thriller starring Jean-Louis Trintignant as a tormented intellectual in Mussolini’s Italy who is hired to assassinate his leftist college professor in Paris. Bertolucci wraps a psychosexual inquiry into the roots of fascism in a baroque palette of art deco design, expressionistic color, and dramatic noir lighting.
