Manhunter (1986) + Angel Heart (1987) [double feature]
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, June 2-4, 2013:
MANHUNTER
1986, USA, 119 minutes, 35mm, Rialto Pictures/StudioCanal
Written and directed by Michael Mann
Based on Thomas Harris's novel "Red Dragon"
Starring William Petersen, Kim Greist, Joan Allen, Brian Cox, Dennis Farina, Tom Noonan
Sun: 2:55 & 7:30 pm; Mon & Tue: 7:30 pm
"Manhunter is a visually assured psychological thriller. Michael Mann builds tension through color, framing, editing, and sound with such skill that his actors can underplay their emotions. This mix is unusual, but it works superbly."
- Perry Seibert, AllMovie.com
"Mann hits top form with this splendidly stylish and oppressive thriller adapted from Thomas Harris' Red Dragon. The plot is complex and ingenious: FBI forensics expert Will Graham (Peterson), blessed (and tormented) by an ability to fathom the workings of the criminal mind through psychic empathy, is brought back from voluntary retirement to track down a serial killer, the 'Tooth Fairy'. Focused on the anxiety and confusion of the hunter rather than his psychotic prey, the film functions both as a disturbing examination of voyeurism, and as an often almost unbearably grim suspenser. Mann creates a terrifying menacing atmosphere without resorting to graphic depiction of the seriously nasty killings: music, designer-expressionist 'Scope photography, and an imaginative use of locations, combine with shots of the aftermath of the massacres to evoke a world nightmarishly perceived by Graham's haunted sensibility. The performances, too, are superior, most memorably Cox's intellectually brilliant and malevolent asylum inmate. One of the most impressive American thrillers of the late '80s."

ANGEL HEART
1987, USA/Canada/UK, 113 minutes, 35mm,

Sun: 5:15 & 9:50 pm; Mon & Tue: 9:50 pm
"'Angel Heart' is a thriller and a horror movie, but most of all it's an exuberant exercise in style, in which Parker and his actors have fun taking it to the limit."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"A diabolical treat with Rourke and De Niro in fine form."
- Ian Nathan, Empire Magazine
"Seriously creepy bayou noir with more twists than you can shake a chicken bone at."
- Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
