Cronos

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Cronos (1992)


An aging antiques dealer stumbles upon a golden scarab device that grants eternal life—but at a horrifying cost. Cronos, Guillermo del Toro’s lush, haunting debut, reimagines the vampire myth through a Mexican lens steeped in Catholic imagery, familial bonds, and alchemical horror.

The film explores immortality as a metaphor for colonial legacy, where bodily corruption mirrors moral decay. Del Toro reclaims the vampire from its European roots and transplants it into a decaying, devotional Mexico—one shaped by inheritance and haunted by the past.

Genre: Horror, Drama

Director: Guillermo del Toro
Stars: Federico Luppi, Ron Perlman, Claudio Brook

Alucarda

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Alucarda (1977)


Two orphaned girls find friendship—and something far more sinister—inside a convent. When one falls under a satanic influence, the film spirals into exorcism, blood-soaked ritual, and unrelenting hysteria.

Alucarda is a fiery, hallucinatory take on demonic possession, where Catholic repression collides with gothic excess. Beneath the horror lies a radical interrogation of spiritual control, female agency, and colonial guilt in a culture where faith and fear are inseparable.

Director: Juan Lopez Moctezuma
Stars: Claudio Brook, David Silva, Tina Romero                 
Running time: 1 hr 18 min

In the Mood for Love (2000 / 2001) - 25th Anniversary

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: In the Mood for Love (2000 / 2001) - 25th Anniversary

25th Anniversary - only in cinemas! In the Mood For Love (2000) & In the Mood for Love (2001). Wong Kar Wai’s romantic masterpiece plus his rarely-screened short film!

In the Mood for Love (2000)

Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-Wan (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and Su Li-Zhen (Maggie Cheung Man Yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formal and polite—until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. With its aching soundtrack and exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping Bing, this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past twenty-five years of cinema.


In the Mood for Love (2001)

Initially conceived as one third of a triptych about food, In the Mood for Love was expanded into a stand-alone feature that won immediate recognition as a contemporary classic. Another third—intended as the “dessert,” as Wong Kar Wai has put it—was, until now, only screened during his masterclass at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. Now available in wide release for the first time, In the Mood for Love 2001 demonstrates the director’s elegant ability to generate palpable atmosphere and striking characterizations on a miniature canvas—with In the Mood for Love stars Tony Leung, Chiu Wai and Maggie Cheung Man Yuk once again providing the sizzling chemistry—evoking the mystery of transient, unexpected connections in the modern city through his inimitable romantic touch.

Director: Wong Kar-wai

Cloud

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: Cloud (2024)

Ryosuke Yoshii (Masaki Suda) works at a small factory and makes money on the side as a reseller operating under the pseudonym “Ratel.” He deals in medical devices, handbags, figurines... Anything he can flip to make a profit. Buy low, sell high – that’s all there is to it. Muraoka (Masataka Kubota), a senior classmate from Yoshii’s technical college days who taught him the ins and outs of reselling, approaches him with a potentially high-earning proposal, but he shuns it and devotes himself to his own dubious deeds. For Yoshii, his growing bank balance is the only thing he can trust.

When Yoshii is offered a promotion to a managerial position by his employer at the factory, Takimoto (Yoshiyoshi Arakawa), he steadfastly refuses, calling time on his three-year stint, and resigns on the spot. He rents a lakeside house outside the city for both residential and business purposes, and starts a new life with his girlfriend, Akiko (Kotone Furukawa). With the help of Sano (Daiken Okudaira), a local youth hired as a helper, Yoshii’s reselling schemes appear to be going from strength to strength until unsettling incidents begin occurring consecutively around him. Suspicious vehicles roaming his vicinity, a broken window, stalking shadows, and online malice... A negative spiral of animosity gathers momentum, eventually taking physical form and transforming into a crazed mob of unknown number. Their target is Yoshii, whose oblivious existence is rapidly torn apart...

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Huesera: The Bone Woman (2022)


A young woman’s long-awaited pregnancy becomes a waking nightmare, as she’s haunted by visions and the sound of breaking bones. Huesera: The Bone Woman blends body horror with urban folklore and brujería, confronting the generational pressures placed on women’s bodies and lives.

This chilling debut uses horror to explore themes of identity, tradition, and sacrifice—where the weight of motherhood becomes monstrous. It's a feminist exorcism of the silence surrounding women’s suffering in Mexican society.
