Point Break

Synopsis:


A League of Their Own Presents: Point Break (1991)

Johnny Utah arrives in Los Angeles carrying a blown knee, an FBI badge, and exactly zero understanding of who he actually is. The case is absurd on paper: bank robbers who surf, rob, and disappear with the tide. 

But the ocean doesn't care about paper. Utah goes under, finds a tribe, and discovers that Bodhi isn't just a suspect; he's a mirror. The real investigation isn't about the Ex-Presidents. It's about whether a man built for systems can survive contact with someone who has rejected every system entirely.

I Shot Andy Warhol - Poster

I Shot Andy Warhol

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: I Shot Andy Warhol (1996)

The scintillating feature debut of Mary Harron (American Psycho) and one of the most controversial independent films of the 1990s, I Shot Andy Warhol stars an electric Lili Taylor as Valerie Solanas, a militant feminist whose attempted murder of Andy Warhol brought instant fame to her radically anti-male SCUM Manifesto. Dropping out of grad school in the midsixties, the brilliant yet volatile Solanas survived in New York City as a destitute artist, sex worker, and panhandler, soon striking up a friendship with Warhol superstar Candy Darling that brought her briefly into the orbit of the world’s premier pop artist. 

With vivid, hallucinatory attention to historical detail, Harron captures the explosive cross-pollination of New York’s political and artistic countercultures as well as the creativity, snobbery, and decadence at the heart of the legendary Factory. Anchored by pitch-perfect performances—and featuring a blistering score by John Cale as well as covers of sixties hits by some of the nineties’ most iconic bands (R.E.M., Wilco)—I Shot Andy Warhol is an incisive portrait of a rebel without an outlet and the soon-to-be-lost generation she came to define.

Director: Mary Harron
Stars: Lili Taylor, Jared Harris, Martha Plimpton

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: Night Nurse (2026)

At the start of her new job in a luxury retirement community, Eleni (Cemre Paksoy) is drawn into a series of scam calls targeting the elderly residents, a pull she can't quite name or resist.

As the community's strange rhythms close around her, she grows increasingly intimate with her elusive patient, Douglas (Bruce McKenzie), until the line blurs between care and desire, devotion and delusion.

Writer-director Georgia Bernstein's debut feature examines caregiving as both vocation and compulsion, and the fine, dangerous line between them.

El Topo

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: El Topo (1970)

El Topo decides to confront warrior masters on a transformative desert journey. He begins with his six-year-old son, who must bury his childhood totems to become a man. El Topo (the mole) claims to be God while dressed as a gunslinger in black, riding a horse through a mystical landscape strewn with American Western and ancient Eastern religious symbols. Bandits slaughtered a village on his path, so El Topo avenges the massacred, then forcibly takes their leader's woman Mara as his. El Topo's surreal way is bloody, sexual, and self-reflective, musing of his own demons, as he tries to vanquish those he encounters.

Days of Heaven - Poster

Days of Heaven

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Days of Heaven (1978)


Days of Heaven is a cinematic bucket list screening for a few reasons. It is directed by a singular artist in Terrence Malick. It is also an early and foundational Alberta-shot Hollywood film, helping to lay the groundwork for decades of collaboration between local and Hollywood filmmakers. Most importantly for the cinema experience, it is one of the most gorgeous films ever photographed. 

Malick’s insistence that much of the film be shot at “golden hour” may have caused delays and frustrations on set but the end result speaks for itself. Cinematographer Néstor Almendros won his lone Academy Award for his work on Days of Heaven, one of the most well deserved Oscars ever given out.

Barry Lyndon - Poster

Barry Lyndon

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Barry Lyndon (1975)


Barry Lyndon is often included in a bucket list of films to see on the big screen, for many reasons. An obvious one is the sumptuous visuals that are created through meticulous production design and innovative cinematography, using lighting that evokes the 18th-century period setting. 

Another is the laconic pace and subtly sardonic tone, which rewards the close attention that's enabled by a theatrical screening with a complex story of ambition and social class mobility. It is a film that tells a timely tale of striving and inequality, perhaps more relevant now than even when it was made. 

It provides a rich, fulfilling, 3-hour cinematic experience that transports the viewer to another time and place, carefully created for the pleasure of a cinema audience.

Chess of the Wind - Poster

Chess of the Wind

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Chess of the Wind (1976)


Chess of the Wind (1976), directed by Mohammad Reza Aslani, is one of the most hauntingly original works in Iranian cinema. Set within a decaying Qajar-era mansion, the story unfolds after the death of a matriarch, as relatives and servants circle around her inheritance. At the center stands the rightful heir, a physically disabled daughter whose quiet resistance turns the household into a battleground of power, greed, and manipulation. 

The film’s title becomes its guiding metaphor: like chess, every move is calculated; like the wind, every position is unstable. With painterly compositions inspired by Persian art, dim lighting, and suffocatingly still frames, Chess of the Wind transforms its setting into a visual prison, one where moral decay mirrors the collapse of a broader social order.

Long overlooked and later restored with the support of Martin Scorsese’s preservation efforts, Chess of the Wind feels like a recovered fragment of a lost cinematic past.

Dreams

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Dreams (1990)


A collection of tales based upon eight of director Akira Kurosawa's recurring dreams.

More than a conventional narrative, Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams is a sequence of vivid visual poems: lush landscapes, vast skies, torrential storms, and painterly worlds inspired by dreams and memory, by emotions that range from horror to ecstasy. On a large screen, the scale and detail of these images become overwhelming in the best possible way, allowing viewers to be immersed in Kurosawa’s vision. 

The theatrical experience also amplifies the film’s extraordinary use of sound and silence, from the gentle rustling of forests to the apocalyptic roar of catastrophe. Seen in a darkened cinema, Dreams feels less like watching a movie and more like stepping inside another consciousness, making the big screen the ideal way to encounter one of cinema’s most visually transcendent works.

Nightbreed - Director's Cut

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Nightbreed - Director's Cut (1990)


Shot across Alberta and set partly in Calgary, Clive Barker’s cult dark-fantasy epic Nightbreed follows Aaron Boone as he is tormented by both a grisly series of murders and by his psychiatrist (played by David Cronenberg), until he finds refuge in Midian, a hidden world inhabited by monsters. 

Despite studio interference upon release, the film has since been critically re-appraised, even described by Alejandro Jodorowsky as “the first truly gay horror fantasy epic.” Best known for his work on Hellraiser and Candyman, Barker reconstructed the Director’s Cut himself, restoring material removed by the studio, and finally realizing the story he always wanted to tell.

Chungking Express

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Chungking Express (1994)


Wong Kar-wai’s Chungking Express follows two heartbroken Hong Kong police officers drifting through a city where millions of people brush past one another without ever quite connecting. The loneliness the film captured in 1994 feels even more familiar now: we scroll past hundreds of faces a day, constantly connected yet rarely fully present. 

Through pop songs, chance encounters, and the restless rhythm of the city, Wong Kar-wai turns urban isolation into something you feel rather than simply observe. That feeling fully arrives in a cinema, where strangers share the same atmosphere, the same pauses, and the same passing moments in real time.

Playtime

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Playtime (1967)


Jacques Tati's PlayTime is one of the miracles of cinema. By all rights, this is a work of art that should not exist, as the entire apparatus of commercial filmmaking is designed to prevent such a film. Tati, who staked his fortune on the project, built an enormous functioning city on the outskirts of Paris—paved streets, a power plant, working electricity, operating elevators, demountable towers—and shot the picture in 70mm with post-synchronized sound. 

The movie stands as an improbable marriage of the visual grammar of silent cinema and the monumental ambitions of the widescreen epic. Such spatial ambition and visual density are, at first, vertiginous and overwhelming; and then, simply, free and inevitable. What first appears as a genial satire of glass-and-steel modernity opens into something transcendent: a vision of human spontaneity and the insurgency of imagination that erupts through the bureaucratic postwar architecture of control and containment. 

The result, a movie with no real star, no conventional plot, no hierarchy of attention, is the pinnacle of the comedy of democracy. PlayTime demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible, from different seats in the theatre, over the course of a lifetime.
