1962 | Rated PG-13 | 126 min | Conspiracy Thriller | DCP

"They developed a technique for descent into the unconscious mind, part light-induced, part drug." So goes the high-concept paranoid plot of The Manchurian Candidate (1962), based on novelist Richard Condon's 1959 political thriller about Korean War soldiers captured and brainwashed by communists. In the hands of director John Frankenheimer—who, with over fifty shot-live-for-TV dramatic adaptations to his name, nearly invented the contemporary televisual aesthetic—the technique in question is as much mass media as it is any kind of sci-fi brain control. Featuring unilaterally career-best work from all involved—including a never-better Sinatra, whose sweaty and stubbled visage is the perfect canvas for such a dire phantasm of national self-delusion—The Manchurian Candidate is a sixties crack-up that predicts the ensuing 21st crackdown of that most zealous cult of all: America itself. —Frank Falisi

Featuring an introduction by writer and film critic Frank Falisi.

Frank Falisi is a writer from New Jersey whose work has appeared in Bright Wall/Dark Room, Reverse Shot, Los Angeles Review of Books, and MUBI Notebook, among other outlets. He currently lives in Brooklyn, NYC, where he teaches high school English Language Arts.

Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror is a joyful and wild ride through the tale of the cultural juggernaut that is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. From its humble origins as a London fringe theater play, the documentary tracks its meteoric rise, fall and resurrection to become the biggest cult film of all time. With intimate access to its creator Richard O’Brien and other major players such as Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Lou Adler, the documentary explores what makes the play and film so singular: Its groundbreaking and transgressive themes, iconic performances and epic songs that took over popular culture. The cult phenomenon that sprung around it is unparalleled, and created not only the midnight screenings which continue to this day, but also a safe haven for those who ever felt different or marginalized – with particular significance for the queer community. In our current political climate, Rocky Horror’s message of inclusion and self expression holds more resonance than ever. As Dr. Frank-N-Furter says, “Don’t Dream It, Be It.”
