Mirror Mirror

Synopsis:


A League of Their Own Presents: Mirror Mirror (1990)

Before THE CRAFT, there was MIRROR MIRROR. Co-written by sisters Annette and Gina Cascone and directed by Marina Sargenti, the film follows high school goth Megan (Rainbow Harvest, a dead ringer for Winona Ryder’s Lydia Deetz character in BEETLEJUICE) as she deals with typical teenage stuff: crushes, bullies, and a haunted mirror that grants her supernatural powers. 

MIRROR MIRROR combines YA vibes straight out of a Christopher Pike novel with plenty of R-rated thrills. But the film’s most notable—and enjoyable—aspect is its nuanced portrayal of relationships between women, which was rare for the horror genre in 1990.

Genre: Horror, Thriller

Director: Marina Sargenti
Stars: Karen Black, Yvonne De Carlo, William Sanderson                           
Running time: 1 hr 44 min 
Rating: STC

Kwaidan: 4K Remaster

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: Kwaidan: 4K Remaster (1964)

After more than a decade of sober political dramas and socially minded period pieces, the great Japanese director Masaki Kobayashi shifted gears dramatically for this rapturously stylized quartet of ghost stories. Featuring colorfully surreal sets and luminous cinematography, these haunting tales of demonic comeuppance and spiritual trials, adapted from writer Lafcadio Hearn’s collections of Japanese folklore, are existentially frightening and meticulously crafted.


Please note: the DCP version of Kwaidan is a 4K restoration of the original three-hour cut. The 35mm of Kwaidan is the 161-minute Cannes print.

*Presented in original Japanese with English subtitles*

Genre: Drama, Horror

Director: Masaki Kobayashi
Stars: Rentaro Mikuni, Michiyo Aratama, Misako Watanabe

The Last Laugh

Synopsis:

The Calgary Cinematheque Presents: The Last Laugh (1924)


At the height of his career in Germany, F.W. Murnau (director of the horror classic Nosferatu) sought to create a film that would utilize only the art of cinema. The result is The Last Laugh, a film shot on carefully constructed soundstages using the "unchained cinema" technique of director of photography Karl Freund which employs flawless, gliding camera motion of a type that movies would not see again for decades after the introduction of sound. 

With no dialogue or narration intertitles save one, The Last Laugh communicates its story entirely through the visual language of film. Emil Jannings, one of the top actors of German silent cinema, portrays an elderly hotel doorman who is sacked from his job and subsequently finds his entire life falls apart. A tragic story of Weimar-era Germany that serves as a testament to the storytelling power of movies.

Genre: Drama

Director: F.W. Murnau
Stars: Emil Jannings, Maly Delschaft, Max Hiller                              
Running time: 1 hr 28 min 
Rating: STC
