Watch the Official Trailer for Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story

Posted on by

superman-the-christopher-reeve-storyThe trailer for one of the year’s most anticipated movies has been released. Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is the upcoming new documentary from Warner Bros, about Christopher Reeve.

Directed by BAFTA Award-nominated filmmakers Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui (McQueen), it features interviews with Reeve’s three children, close friends actors Susan Sarandon and Glenn Close, and Reeve’s wife, Dana, who died in 2006 of lung cancer.

This astonishing new documentary charts Reeve’s rise to stardom and his journey to becoming a real–life hero. After a near–fatal horse–riding accident in 1995 left him paralyzed from the neck down, Reeve became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care—all while continuing his career in cinema in front of and behind the camera and dedicating himself to his beloved family.

The documentary premiered earlier this year to critical acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival.

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is only available in theaters September 21 and September 25.

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
