Robert Bresson’s Late Masterwork THE DEVIL, PROBABLY | New 4K Restoration Opens September 20 at Film Forum

Posted on by

the-devil-probablyRobert Bresson’s late masterwork THE DEVIL, PROBABLY (1977), a blistering indictment of post-May ‘68 France, will run in a new 4K restoration at Film Forum from Friday, September 20 through Thursday, September 26.

Constructed as a flashback and based off of a newspaper story, THE DEVIL, PROBABLY centers on four disaffected youth, disillusioned with the reality inflicted upon them by their elders, as they drift through Paris, politics, religion, and psychoanalysis, witnesses to a society in moral and physical decline. “I hate life. I hate death. My sickness is that I see things clearly,” confides student Antoine Monnier to his shrink – but, even as he promises marriage to his two girlfriends, he also arranges his own… suicide?

“Bresson’s chilling visions of daily life—includes a brilliant sequence aboard a bus that depicts the mechanical world as a horror—suggesting its hostility to the passions of youth… These children of the revolution tremble with uncertainty, and their loose gestures and shambling ways conflict with his precise images. Both the world and Bresson’s cinema are in disarray, and the signs of his inner conflict are deeply troubling and tremendously moving.” – Richard Brody, The New Yorker

John Ford’s Epic Western “The Searchers” New 4K Restoration at Film Forum

Posted on by

the-searchers-restrorationA new 4K restoration of John Ford’s monumental western THE SEARCHERS (1956), starring John Wayne and Natalie Wood, will run at Film Forum from Friday, September 13 through Thursday, September 19.

After John Wayne returns home to Texas from the Civil War, he sets out to track down the surviving members of his family who’ve been abducted by Comanches. With Jeffrey Hunter, they go on a dangerous multi-year quest to rescue his kidnapped niece Natalie Wood.

“THE SEARCHERS showed Ford’s willingness to make a more ‘modern’-seeming Western for an audience that wanted greater psychological realism from the genre… the film turns the concept of Western heroism inside out, showing the lone gunman who acts in the name of nascent civilization as a warped, destructive force.” – Joseph McBride in Searching for John Ford
