Terrence Malick's feature debut, starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek, in breathtaking new restoration supervised by Emmanuel Lubezki (DP of Malick's latest films). ****! [5 stars] [highest rating] "Whatever you think you need to do this week, make some time to settle into a seat at Film Forum and be beguiled... Badlands, an internalization of the lovers-on-the-run thriller (personified by Sheen and Spacek, fresh as daisies), is the blueprint for Malick’s entire output, marked by near-whispered narration and communion with the natural world. He’s never quite topped it." - Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York. "THE MOST ASSURED FIRST FILM BY AN AMERICAN SINCE CITIZEN KANE!" - David Thomson http://www.filmforum.org/movies/more/badlands http://www.filmforum.org/movies/more/badlands Wed, 8 May 2013 17:15:00 EDT Through Tues, May 14 1:00 3:45 6:30 9:15 Winner of the Best Director prize at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, the new film from acclaimed Mexican filmmaker Carlos Reygadas (JAPÓN, SILENT LIGHT) is a stunningly photographed, impressionistic psychological portrait of a family after their move to the Mexican countryside. "CRITICS PICK. Mesmerizing, mysterious, willfully perverse… It’s a male psychodrama cum family-man meltdown… a deeply personal, intermittently hermetic exploration of innocence and sin, good and evil…" - Manohla Dargis, The New York Times. "A MASTERPIECE. Casts a strange and powerful spell." - Andrew O'Hehir, Salon http://www.filmforum.org/movies/more/post_tenebras_lux http://www.filmforum.org/movies/more/post_tenebras_lux Wed, 8 May 2013 17:14:00 EDT HELD OVER! Through Thurs, May 16 Only! 1:30 3:30 5:30 7:30 9:30. Roberto Rossellini's masterpiece, starring Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders, in stunning new restoration. "UNNERVINGLY CONTEMPORARY! The rich symbolism of the Italian landscape — the volcanic pools at Vesuvius, the ruins of Pompeii — makes the emptiness of the Joyces’ marriage all the more palpable and painful… and yet amid all this exhaustion it finds signs of vitality. In its time, this film represented the arrival of something new, and even now it can feel like a bulletin from the future." - A.O. Scott, The New York Times. *****! [5 stars] [highest rating] - Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York. "A CAREER DEFINING MASTERPIECE!" - Michael Atkinson, Village Voice.

Jerry Schatzberg’s rediscovered 1970s road movie, starring Gene Hackman and Al Pacino. Winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes. "THE QUINTESSENTIAL ROAD TRIP MOVIE! Pacino and Hackman at their finest!" - Village Voice. "The road movie may have been the defining genre of the 1970s, and Scarecrow is a definitive example... Belongs to a time, now past, when American movies still interested themselves in losers and the socially marginalized." - Dave Kehr, The New York Times. DIRECTOR JERRY SCHATZBERG IN PERSON!
