Cecil B. DeMille’s The Sign of the Cross is one of the most notorious spectacles of the pre-Code era, blending religious melodrama with lush, barely veiled decadence. Openly reveling in Rome’s sensual excess, DeMille fills the screen with opulent baths, languid banquets, and orgiastic court entertainments meant to show the moral rot of pagan Rome. With Charles Laughton as a yawning, sadistic Emperor Nero (often flanked by his scantily clad boy toy) and Claudette Colbert as the conniving Empress Poppea, the movie is full of provocative imagery, climaxing with a Colosseum scene that manages to be outrageous without the aid of CGI.
Warning: Images are not from the movies we’re showing. Trust us, you can’t imagine what we’re showing!
Last month we showed the very last Shaw Brothers movie ever made, this month we come at you hard with a late-period Shaw Bros flick that’s a jittering, juddering tornado of action. With a cast of second string stalwarts and THREE action choreographers, it’s the work of a director at the top of his early 80s game, in the midst of turning out a string of freakazoid masterpieces — and this is probably the most underseen of the bunch. Political machinations and cool decapitations, this one’s a blazing bonfire of bodacious swordplay!
Starring: Adam Scott, David Wilmot, Austin Amelio, Florence Ordesh

An irreverent biopic vividly realized through fantastic psychedelia and handmade sets with an ever-topical feminist approach, Revelations of Divine Love is inspired by and adapted from the memoir of 14th-century mystic and philosopher Julian of Norwich and an account of religious ecstasy, plague, and revolt considered to be the first book to be authored by a woman in English. The film envisions the life of Julian in the lead up to her anchorage—through her illness and the onset of her godly visions—and follows her through the years as she indulges in her desire to write and becomes a revered and holy figure to those in her town and beyond the city walls.
Starring: Wisarut Himmarat, Davika Hoorne, Apasiri Nitibhon, Wanlop Rungkumjud, Wisarut Homhuan
