A wordless film experiment, a cautionary warning against encroaching technology, a prayer for us to restore our relationship with the land… “Koyaanisqatsi” is all these things and more. Conceived in the 1970s by Godfrey Reggio, a former monk whose work with the ACLU in New Mexico included a prescient media campaign around the loss of privacy, “Koyaanisqatsi” was filmed over the course of several years by cinematographer Ron Fricke, and assembled with the collaboration of soundtrack composer Philip Glass, whose churning score brings the film’s time-lapse photography to stunning life. You’ll never see the world the same way again after seeing this movie.

2026 Oscar® Winner for Best Documentary Feature — Pasha Talankin is an unlikely hero—a beloved Russian primary school teacher, known as a mentor and prankster who offers students a safe haven in his office. After Russia invades Ukraine, Pasha’s role in the school changes dramatically as he is reluctantly drawn into Putin’s propaganda machine. Forced to promote state-sanctioned messages and horrified by the transformation of his school and community, he struggles with guilt and a sense of powerlessness, leading him to become an international whistleblower, documenting intimate and revealing footage of Putin’s regime.

Directed by David Borenstein and co-directed by Pasha Talankin, this uniquely collaborative film is as captivating and joyful as it is eye-opening and sobering. Mr. Nobody Against Putin showcases rare footage that reveals the profound impact of Putin’s regime on the lives of everyday Russians, particularly its children.

Roosevelt.

Alfred Hitchcock’s first color film was also one of his most daring and experimental. Choreographed and performed like a stage play, “Rope” subtly hides its edits to give the appearance of one continuous shot throughout its entire runtime. The plot concerns two young men (John Dall and Farley Granger) who kill one of their old classmates to see if they can get away with it. Jimmy Stewart plays their former headmaster, who begins to sense something is off at the dinner party they throw in the deceased guest’s honor. “Rope” is a fascinating film full of subtext, and is also one of the few Hitchcock films that dares the audience to take murder seriously, rather than using it as an adventurous plot point.

A Mobius-strip of frodis-inspired lunacy, “Head” was released in theaters a half-year after The Monkees’ television series ended, and some feel it was a deliberate attempt by the group to dismantle their pop-manufactured image. The surrealistic movie is more of a series of sketches than anything plot-driven, and was written by Jack Nicholson and Bob Rafelson, who would team up two years later with “Five Easy Pieces.”

Criterion describes it as “a kaleidoscopic satire that’s movie homage, media send-up, concert movie, and antiwar cry all at once.”

86 minutes, Rated G.

At the turn of the 20th century, a lonely stranger rides into town in the Pacific northwest, as rain pelts the landscape, turning unturned dirt into mud and lending a bleak air to this anti-Western. Warren Beatty stars as the hapless John McCabe, who goes into business with Mrs. Miller (Julie Christie) running a bordello in the still under-construction town of Presbyterian Church (priorities, people). Soon a big corporation is trying to move in, and McCabe must decide whether to move out or stand his ground. Featuring songs by Leonard Cohen.

121 minutes, Rated R.
