A Quiet Passion with Cynthia Nixon in person
In Davies’s incandescent and haunting masterwork, Cynthia Nixon delivers a triumphant performance as Emily Dickinson. Nixon embodies the piercing wit, intellectual independence, and personal pathos of the poet, whose genius only came to be recognized after her death. Followed by a conversation with Cynthia Nixon.
The House of Mirth
Terence Davies’s magnificent, faithful adaptation of Edith Wharton’s 1905 novel is a sumptuous triumph. Gillian Anderson’s performance is one of the cinema’s great embodiments of the ironic toll human virtue takes on the body and the soul. Introduced by Michael Barker, Co-President of Sony Pictures Classics.
Blockbusters: Screening and Artist Talk
This free screening and artist talk is presented by New York–based video and new media art collective Blockbusters. The works in this program critically examine aesthetic and sociopolitical implications of time-based language and the digital interfaces that mediate and shape experience and identity.
The Deep Blue Sea
Davies’s lush, meticulous, and deeply moving adaptation of a Terence Rattigan play stars Rachel Weisz as Hester Collyer, a woman who abandons her passionless marriage to a wealthy barrister, entering a torrid affair with a troubled former Royal Air Force pilot, the consequences of which plunge her life into ruin.
Sunset Song
An adaptation of Lewis Grassic Gibbon's classic 1932 Scottish novel, Sunset Song is at once a quintessentially Davies meditation on family and the past, and his most pictorially ravishing work.
