APRIL 23 – 29          MIDNIGHT COWBOY (1969, John Schlesinger)
“Everybody’s talkin’” at cowboy-geared, straight-from-the-sticks stud wannabe Jon Voight while seedy tenement squatter Dustin Hoffman is “walkin’ here” as he storms at a pushy cabdriver; but they form their own alliance within the grubby underside of Times Square. Oscars for Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay.
1:00, 3:15, 5:30, 7:50, 10:00

APRIL 30 – MAY 6          SUNDAY, BLOODY SUNDAY (1971, John Schlesinger)
“People can manage on very little.” On the same telephone answering service, Jewish doctor Peter Finch and divorced businesswoman Glenda Jackson are both in love—but not with each other; rather with young artist Murray Head. Schlesinger’s own favorite among his films; with tour de force highlight: Finch at the bar mitzvah.
1:00, 3:15, 5:40, 7:50, 10:00

MAY 7 – 13          LAST TANGO IN PARIS (1973, Bernardo Bertolucci)
Post-sexual revolution Brief Encounter à Paris, a tormented widower Marlon Brando makes immediate contact with funky Maria Schneider in an empty apartment. Bernardo Bertolucci’s success de scandale retains its impact today, keyed by Brando’s powerful and most self-revelatory performance.
2:00, 4:30, 7:00, 9:30

MAY 14 – 20          THIEVES LIKE US (1974, Robert Altman)
Escaped cons Bert Remsen, John Schuck, and protégé Keith Carradine hole up at a rural gas station before going the bank robbery route, but Carradine and station owner’s daughter Shelley Duvall find love. Second, more faithful adaptation of Edward Anderson’s novel (after Nick Ray’s They Live By Night), with the 30s effortlessly recreated on Mississippi locations.
