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.

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...

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

Synopsis:


Blackbyrd Myoozik Calgary Presents: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)

An angelically beautiful Catherine Deneuve was launched to stardom by this dazzling musical heart-tugger from Jacques Demy. She plays an umbrella-shop owner’s delicate daughter, glowing with first love for a handsome garage mechanic, played by Nino Castelnuovo. When the boy is shipped off to fight in Algeria, the two lovers must grow up quickly. Exquisitely designed in a kaleidoscope of colors, and told entirely through the lilting songs of the great composer Michel Legrand, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is one of the most revered and unorthodox movie musicals of all time.

Genre: Drama, Musical

Director: Jacques Demy
Stars: Catherine Deneuve, Nino Castelnuovo, Anne Vernon                  
Running time: 1 hr 31 min 
Rating: PG (Mature Subject Matter)

Disappear Completely

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Disappear Completely (2022)


After covering a grisly crime scene, a photojournalist begins to physically disappear—his body vanishing piece by piece. As he descends into Mexico City’s violent underworld, he’s consumed by madness, grief, and the moral weight of what he’s witnessed.

Disappear Completely is a surreal meditation on media, mortality, and the psychic cost of living among horror. It critiques sensationalism and systemic corruption while exposing how violence embeds itself into the national psyche.

Genre: Horror, Thriller

Director: Luis Javier Henaine
Stars: Harold Torres, Tete Espinoza, Fermín Martínez                    
Running time: 1 hr 40 min

Santa Sangre

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Santa Sangre (1989)


A former circus boy, now an asylum inmate, is haunted by childhood trauma and his fanatical, armless mother. Santa Sangre is a surreal eruption of madness, religion, and Freudian nightmare—equal parts performance and possession.

Jodorowsky’s cult classic fuses spectacle with spiritual crisis, turning horror into catharsis. It’s a fever dream of transformation and control, mirroring a deeply Mexican collision of trauma, identity, and myth.

Genre: Horror, Drama

Director: Alejandro Jodorowsky
Stars: Axel Jodorowsky, Blanca Guerra, Guy Stockwell                      
Running time: 2 hr 03 min

House

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: House (1977)

How to describe Nobuhiko Obayashi’s indescribable 1977 movie House (Hausu)? As a psychedelic ghost tale? A stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? An episode of Scooby-Doo as directed by Mario Bava? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip about a schoolgirl who travels with six classmates to her ailing aunt’s creaky country home and comes face-to-face with evil spirits, a demonic house cat, a bloodthirsty piano, and other ghoulish visions, all realized by Obayashi via mattes, animation, and collage effects. 

Equally absurd and nightmarish, House might have been beamed to Earth from some other planet.

Genre: Comedy, Horror

Director: Nobuhiko Obayashi
Stars: Kimiko Ikegami, Miki Jinbo, Ai Matsubara                       
Running time: 1 hr 28 min

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: Dune (1984)

With the extraordinary property of folding the time-space continuum and even expanding consciousness, the rare substance called melange, or "spice," is the most valuable commodity in the known universe. In the year 10,191, Atreides and Harkonnen, two warring clans under the thumb of conspiring Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, fight for control. 

However, the coveted material exists only in the arid landscapes of the inhospitable, worm-infested desert planet, Arrakis or Dune. Now, against the backdrop of a sinister conspiracy and the murder of a beloved one, a gifted leader emerges, destined to command millions: the young son of Duke Leto Atreides, Paul. But can the inexperienced visionary harness the power of the mysterious dry moon and fulfil his destiny?
