Angela Brooks (Kay Johnson) is dismayed by her philandering husband Bob (Reginald Denny), a man who isn’t even good at hiding his dalliances. After he expresses that he finds her to be an icy scold, she heats things up by adopting a Satanic persona, presenting herself in disguise at a masquerade party aboard a Zeppelin.
Cecil B. DeMille expertly controls the chaos as it ramps up from bawdy boudoir comedy to costumed musical, and finally disaster drama in a pre-code filled with hilarious nuggets and plenty of inspiration for your Halloween regalia this year.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce) is a remarkably talented young Viennese composer who unwittingly finds a fierce rival in the disciplined and determined Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham).

Director Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s final film is a deliriously stylized tale of hothouse lust and simmering violence. Set amid an expressionistic soundstage vision of a French sea port, this daring adaptation of a novel by Jean Genet recounts the tragedy of a handsome sailor (Brad Davis) as he is drawn into a vortex of sibling rivalry, murder, and explosive sexuality. Completed just before Fassbinder’s sudden death at age thirty-seven, Querelle finds the director pushing his embrace of artifice and taboo-shattering depiction of queer desire to new extremes.
Starring: Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Pina Pellicer, Katy Jurado, Ben Johnson, Slim Pickens

What You Could Not Visualise is an intimate portrait of the legendary 4AD band Rema-Rema. Rema-Rema was part of the initial wave of post punk that formed around 1978-1980 after the demise of punk. No footage exists of the band live and only a handful of photos survive creating a myth around the band that still exists today.
Director Marco Porsia of the highly acclaimed documentary on Swans, Where Does a Body End?, goes on an archeological exploration to resurrect the band’s unique history/story and find the driving forces behind their ground breaking sound. As 4AD founder Ivo Watts-Russell notes, “One of the great post punk bands was over before it had begun.” This film puts Rema-Rema back in their rightful place in the history of post punk music.
