Viridiana (#332)

Criterion | 1961 | 90 min | Not Rated
Directed by Luis Buñuel

Banned in Spain and denounced by the Vatican upon its premiere, Luis Buñuel’s irreverent vision of life as a beggar’s banquet is regarded by many as his masterpiece. In it, novice nun Viridiana (Silvia Pinal) does her utmost to maintain her Catholic principles, but her lecherous uncle (Fernando Rey) and a motley assemblage of paupers force her to confront the limits of her idealism. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival, Viridiana is as audacious today as ever.

Blue Sunshine

Synapse Films | 1977 | 95 min | Rated R
Directed by Jeff Lieberman

It starts off as a great party–just eight people in a secluded lodge. One of the guests suddenly goes on a shockingly violent, murderous rampage. There is something wrong with his hair, and pure evil in his eyes. What he does to three of the girls there is too hideous to describe. Falsely accused of the brutal killings, Jerry Zipkin (Red Shoe Diaries’ Zalman King) goes on the run. More bizarre murders occur, and while trying to clear his name, Jerry discovers the shocking truth: The people losing their hair and turning into violent psychopaths may be connected to a drug each killer took a decade before. A drug known as “Blue Sunshine.” Did you ever hear the words “Blue Sunshine”? Try to remember…your life may depend on it!

A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon

Kino Lorber | 1988 | 93 min | Not Rated
Directed by William Richert

Jimmy’s about to change his entire life in just one night. It’s the eve of high school graduation, the beginning of the rest of his life. But for Jimmy Reardon, it seems like the end. His girlfriend, Lisa, is moving to Hawaii. His friends are going Ivy League. And if his father gets his way, Jimmy is going to a very dull, all male, business school. Jimmy, however, has other plans for himself. In just 24 hours, he’s going to demolish his relationship with Lisa, several friendships and his dad’s car. River Phoenix (Stand by Me, My Own Private Idaho) stars as the irrepressible Jimmy Reardon in this offbeat coming-of-age comedy based on a novel written by director William Richert (Winter Kills) when he was 19. Infectiously exuberant and touchingly insightful, this ’80s gem also features Ann Magnuson (Making Mr. Right), Meredith Salenger (Dream a Little Dream), Ione Skye (Say Anything…) and Friends’ Matthew Perry.

Peter Sellers Early Classics

Kino Lorber | 1959-1963 | 5 Movies | 494 min | Not Rated
Directed by John Boulting, Roy Boulting, Cliff Owen, Robert Day, Jeffrey Dell

Screen legend Peter Sellers unleashes his unique comedic brilliance upon these five classic U.K. productions. Man in a Cocked Hat (1959) – When valuable mineral deposits are discovered on the forgotten Pacific island colony of Gaillardia, bumbling British envoy Carlton-Browne (Terry-Thomas) is sent to investigate. Can the Empire’s most disastrous diplomat restore relations with the gleefully corrupt Prime Minister Amphibulos (Sellers) before the Cold War comes to a boil? I’m All Right Jack (1959) – Sellers plays dual roles in a laugh-out-loud lampooning of labor relations. Two Way Stretch (1960) – Sellers shines as criminal “mastermind” Dodger Lane, who has been concocting the perfect robbery in prison. The Wrong Arm of the Law (1963) – Cockney kingpin “Pearly” Gates (Sellers) runs London’s most efficient gang of thieves, organizing spectacular robberies from behind the front of a haute-couture dress salon. Heavens Above! (1963) – Sellers is divine as Reverend John Smallwood, an idealistic chaplain who is assigned to a wealthy parish where his progressive ideas are frowned upon. His actions start offending not only the townspeople but the religious hierarchy and even the government itself. Can the Church of England silence their most compassionate cleric, or will the vicar escape to serve the highest calling of all?
