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. Happy New Year--we hope your resolution includes watching plenty of extraordinary movies!

UN CHIEN ANDALOU (Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali): Filmed in Paris in 1929, Un Chien Andalou is regarded as the first film produced purely from within the Surrealist movement and is a landmark in the history of cinema. It remains a startling artifact suggesting ways in which film can express the subconscious. The result of Luis Bunuel's collaboration with Salvador Dali, the film was designed expressly to shock and provoke.


MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON (Maya Deren): A woman returning home falls asleep and has vivid dreams that may or may not be happening in reality. Through repetitive images and complete mismatching of the objective view of time and space, her dark inner desires play out on-screen.


LA JETEE (Chris Marker): Chris Marker, filmmaker, poet, novelist, photographer, editor, and now videographer and digital multimedia artist, has been challenging moviegoers, philosophers, and himself for years with his complex queries about time, memory, and the rapid advancement of life on this planet. Marker's La Jetée is one of the most influential, radical science-fiction films ever made, a tale of time travel told in still images.
