7:15
THE BLACK VAMPIRE (EL VAMPIRO NEGRO)
(1953, Argentina, 80 min., English subtitles)
Scr. and Dir. Roman Vinoly Barreto
This clever "feminist" reworking of Fritz Lang's classic M focuses on the mothers of children stalked by a deranged pedophile. Virtually unknown outside Argentina, and presented on screen in the U.S. for the first time ever, in a new 35mm print! Starring the radiant Olga Zubarry.
9:00
THE WAGES OF FEAR (LE SALAIRE DE LA PEUR)
(1953, France, 156 min., English subtitles)
Scr. Jerome Geronimi and H. G. Clouzot, from Georges Arnaud's novel. Dir. Henri-Georges Clouzot
Four men, trapped in a pestilent South American village, agree to transport a dangerous shipment of nitroglycerine through treacherous terrain. This existentialist action movie is arguably the most suspenseful film ever made. Yves Montand and Charles Vanel star, and earn every cent.
