The Neon Bible

Based on John Kennedy Toole’s celebrated Depression-era novel, The Neon Bible is Davies’s first American film, yet still fully of a piece with his nostalgia-suffused filmography. David is a young man growing up in a small Southern Bible Belt town in the 1940s. When his aunt Mae (Gena Rowlands) a former club singer, comes to stay in the threadbare home he shares with his parents, she soon becomes his sole companion.

Benediction

In this aching, unorthodox historical drama, Davies tells the story of the pacifist poet and veteran Siegfried Sassoon, whose experiences fighting in the First World War forever transformed him.

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.

Sinners (70mm)

Sinners (70mm)

One of this year’s most accomplished and wildly popular films, Ryan Coogler’s beautifully crafted, multilayered genre mashup traces a gripping, unpredictable story about Black folklore, cultural inheritance, the legacy of popular music, and, yes, vampires.

Tropic Thunder

Tropic Thunder

Hollywood self-parodies are a dime a dozen, but Ben Stiller’s pleasingly tasteless takedown of the industry—from egomaniacal actors to grotesque producers to the clichéd big-budget products themselves—is a riotous pleasure throughout.
