Hayao Miyazaki’s international breakthrough is an epic cinematic marvel. Infected by a deadly curse after killing a god, young warrior Ashitaka heads west in search of a cure. He stumbles upon a bitter conflict between Lady Eboshi, the proud people of Iron Town, and the enigmatic Princess Mononoke, a girl raised by wolves and who will stop at nothing to prevent humans from destroying her home, and the forest spirits and animal gods who live there. Princess Mononoke resists an easy dichotomy of good versus evil and was the first Miyazaki film that incorporated computer-generated imagery alongside traditional hand-drawn animation.

An artist losing her eyesight (Oscar-winner Juliette Binoche) and an unhoused circus performer (Denis Lavant) form an unexpected connection on the streets of Paris in this visually extravagant romance from writer-director Leos Carax (Holy Motors, 2012). Carax worked on a modest scale on his first two films, Boy Meets Girl (1984) and Mauvais Sang (1986), but The Lovers on the Bridge was an elaborate and infamously troubled project, plagued by production delays, budget overruns, and the necessity to recreate Paris’s Pont-Neuf on a massive set. The result received mixed reactions upon its release but has since been celebrated as one of the filmmaker’s most towering achievements, enhanced greatly by the dazzling cinematography of Jean-Yves Escoffier (Good... Will Hunting, 1997).

Brian De Palma wrote and directed this mystery about a movie sound technician (John Travolta) who inadvertently records the assassination of a politician. Stylish and unexpectedly emotional, Blow Out has become one of De Palma’s most acclaimed films over the last four decades, and his script cleverly incorporates filmmaking techniques into its storyline. In collaboration with sound mixer Dick Vorisek and sound editor Dan Sable, as well as such De Palma regulars as cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond, film editor Paul Hirsch, and composer Pino Donaggio, the director creates a worthy successor to the great conspiracy thrillers of the 1970s.

This darkly comedic adaptation of the popular Parker Brothers board game takes a page from the spate of Agatha Christie book-to-screen projects of the 1970s. Convening a murderer’s row of ’80s comedic actors, this cult-favorite whodunit may have been considered middling upon its release but soon found its adoring audience on home video and through revival screenings. This DCP from Paramount features all three endings shown sequentially, as they were presented during television broadcasts of the film and as featured on home video releases.

Louis Malle’s directorial debut at age 24 is one of the most significant contributions to the French New Wave. The sensational and eloquently mesmerizing Jeanne Moreau stars as Florence, whose hopeless adoration of a secret lover, Julien (Maurice Ronet), jeopardizes her freedom. The couple plans a high-stakes murder of Florence’s husband, and Julien successfully executes the plot—until he gets trapped in an elevator. A series of ironic incidents ensue against the backdrop of a modernized landscape of Paris, while the cinematography is beautifully paired with a magical musical performance by the great Miles Davis. It all comes together to amplify Florence’s deep emotional state in the deep night of a desolate, apathetic city.

Guy Maddin’s early masterpiece takes place in a 19th-century Alpine village where the wary residents—adult, child and animal!—must speak softly and tread lightly lest they cause an avalanche. But sexual frenzies teem in this world of repression, setting off incestuous love triangles and quadrangles with deadly consequences. Bathed in lurid, luminescent tints, Careful resembles a vintage melodrama from another planet—something that could only emerge from the singular mind of Maddin. —Zeitgeist Films&nbsp; &nbsp;

Yul Brynner plays a gunslinger leading a septet of strangers to defend a Mexican village against marauders in director John Sturges’ classic Western remake of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai—a remake that itself inspired three sequels, a TV series, and its own 2016 remake. Brynner’s fellow gunslingers include then-rising stars Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson and James Coburn. Elmer Bernstein received his second Oscar nomination for his rousing score, whose classic main theme became arguably his most popular and widely recognized melody.

The Green Fog is a new version, in a wonderfully oblique fashion, of Hitchcock’s Vertigo; it could also have been named San Francisco Plays Itself or, to borrow a title from Peter Greenaway, Vertical Features Remake. Hitchcock’s film is one of the most vertically obsessed films ever, and The Green Fog follows suit, but since this is a work co-directed by Guy Maddin, you can imagine that it’s also obsessive on many other levels that Hitchcock could never have dreamed of. The Green Fog tells a story of sorts, essentially reproducing the shape of Vertigo—with some room for facetiously digressive play—using clips from assorted films and TV series, all shot... on location in San Francisco, to stand in for moments of Hitchcock’s film. —Jonathan Romney, Film Comment

Commissioned as a documentary about the director’s prairie hometown, My Winnipeg proceeds from the simple premise that a city is nothing without its ghosts: the mass of memories, legends and fictions that accumulate in any place inhabited by human beings. My Winnipeg is a film about the dream life of a city, a para-documentary about a parallel, phantasmagorical, invisible Winnipeg; it is a séance, a channeling of spirits through the medium of cinema, an exorcism of personal and collective history, as well as a memoir of one soul’s desperate final attempt at an escape from the city and its ghosts. —Tyler Prozeniuk, POV Magazine
