Directed by visionary science-fiction animator René Laloux (Fantastic Planet) and designed by the legendary Jean Giraud (a.k.a. Mœbius) The Time Masters is a visually fantastic foray into existentialist space adventure. After his parents are killed on the dangerous planet Perdide, young Piel (voiced by Frédéric Legros) survives by maintaining radio contact with Jaffar (Jean Valmont), a pilot transporting the exiled Prince Matton (Yves-Marie Maurin) and Princess Belle (Monique Thierry) from their former kingdom. Jaffar seeks the help of Silbad (Michel Elias), a cheerful old-timer who knows how to circumvent Perdide’s hazards, including brain-devouring insects and watery graves. Along the way, Jaffar and company encounter a pair of impish homunculi stowaways, identity-less angels controlled by an amorphous hive mind, and the Masters of Time, mysterious beings who can bend reality and perhaps reveal to the heroes their secret origins and destinies.

But Dr. Dolphin (Janeane Garofalo), the powerful orange juice CEO, will do anything to get Donut back, and Billy is forced to make hard choices about love, friendship, and how far he’ll go for financial security in a world ruled by capitalism in this absurdist and musical take on a coming-of-age comedy.

It’s time to go back to school with The Class of 1984! Marc Lester’s 1982 punk gang classic is presented on beautiful 35mm and actor Stefan Arngrim, Drugstore himself, will be joining us in person to introduce the film and do a live Q&A after the screening.

Whether you’re into punk, vengeance or sitcom stars getting stabbed, this is one 50-pound sack of Armageddon you cannot miss. Helmed by Mark L. Lester—the firecracker director of Commando and Firestarter—Class of 1984 is one of the classic punk era’s most incendiary treatises against the scourge of youth. The scene is set: when a rabid pack of rampaging delinquents overruns an all-American high school, brutality and decadence are everywhere. Enter the novice teacher (Perry King, Andy Warhol’s Bad), who’s forced to violently turn the tables before the bloodthirsty gang’s trash wave swallows the town alive. Class of 1984 is a perfect exploitation film—it’s relentlessly seedy, overflowing with violence, drug use, and crime, crime, CRIME! But beyond all this, there’s an absorbing air of leather-clad heartlessness that makes this movie flat-out the best in its genre.
