For this Special Thursday Cinema Night, 8PM EST, there’s no special theme, just two more good flicks. First up is Climax (2018), which centers on the worst party ever, a French dance-rave that turns into a nightmare after everyone’s drinks are spiked with LSD. A whole lot of drug-addled revelry and excess follows while some of the partiers try to find the culprit. Oh, and did I mention there’s dancing? Director is French auteur Gaspar Noe, whose films we have not watched yet, but he is a good buddy of Harmony Korine, whose Gummo (1997) was a hit on Hextube.
After that is Fury (1936), a crime drama from renowned director Fritz Lang, the guy behind Metropolis (1927) and M (1931). In this, the most-acclaimed film of his Hollywood phase, a man (Spencr Tracy) goes to visit his girlfriend in a small town, at which point he is arrested and accused of being a fugitive kidnapper. Drama ensues as he tries to secure justice and avoid being lynched by the irate townspeople.
BONUS: We will also watch the 22-minute short The Private Life of a Cat (1947), an up-close-and-personal look at a cat’s birth and upbringing from avant-garde duo Alexander Hammid and Maya Deren. It looks adorable.
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
