See the rock stars of cinema at the Film Society this Labor Day weekend!
Before the Beatles and the Rolling Stones…the real rock stars had names like Fellini, Hitchcock, Truffaut, Bergman, and Malle.
This Labor Day weekend is the perfect time to get hooked on the classics all over again. 50 years ago, world cinema experienced a “watershed” moment that set the tone for a whole generation of auteurs to come, and in honor of that historical shift, we present Watershed, 13 of the most electric, daring, incendiary, and ground-breaking films that have ever graced the silver screen:
L’avventura
Michelangelo Antonioni
The 400 Blows / Les quatre cents coups
François Truffaut
La dolce vita
Federico Fellini
The Lovers / Les amants
Louis Malle
Psycho
Alfred Hitchcock
Cruel Story of Youth / Seishun zankoku monogatari
Nagisa Ôshima
The Crimson Kimono
Samuel Fuller
The Virgin Spring / Jungfrukällan
Ingmar Bergman
Shadows
John Cassavetes
