Farmers State Bank!
In January 2023, The Roxy curated one of our most beloved series, a 15-film journey through the 2022 list of the greatest films ever made, curated by the journal Sight & Sound. This month, we return to the canon with SIGHT & SOUND: REDUX, another dazzling array of the world's best movies. Best of all, every ticket purchased to one of these films is an entry into a drawing to win subscriptions to Sight & Sound and the Criterion Channel.

Days of Heaven: One-of-a-kind filmmaker-philosopher Terrence Malick has created some of the most visually arresting films of the last century, and his glorious period tragedy Days of Heaven, featuring Oscar-winning cinematography by Nestor Almendros, stands out among them. In the mid-1910s, a Chicago steelworker (Richard Gere) accidentally kills his supervisor, and flees with his girlfriend (Brooke Adams) and his little sister (Linda Manz) to the Texas panhandle, where they find work harvesting wheat in the fields of a stoic farmer (Sam Shepard). A love triangle, a swarm of locusts, a hellish fire—Malick captures it all with dreamlike authenticity, creating a timeless American idyll that is also a gritty evocation of turn-of-the-century labor.
