Pandora & The Flying Dutchman (U)
Dir: Albert Lewin. With: Ava Gardner, James Mason, Nigel Patrick.
A fully restored print of this Technicolor romantic classic with a supernatural twist. The story of a Dutchman, living in the 17th century, who is not permitted to rest until he finds a woman who loves him enough to die for him. He meets the reincarnation of a woman from his dead past and falls in love. The story progresses to a hair-raising reconciliation of past and present.
UK 1951. 126 mins.
Everything about it, from the magnificent performances of Ava Gardner and James Mason, to the gorgeous locations and Jack Cardiff's stunning photography, is infused with this ethereal, other-worldly quality. This restoration was several years in the making and I'm glad that the work we've done will allow new audiences to discover this unusual film. - Martin Scorsese

Undertow (ctba)
Dir: Javier Fuentes-León. With: Tatiana Astengo, Manolo Cardona, Cristian Mercado
In a village on the north coast of Peru a young married fisherman struggles to reconcile his devotion to his male lover with his town's rigid traditions. The resulting conflict is handled delicately. As the plot thickens, with an element of magical realism, a straightforward depiction of social dynamics becomes something more fable-like and allegorical, stranger and richer.
