This month’s round-up is an eclectic bunch, which, if you know me at this point, is a good thing. Things are beginning to lean towards the change of seasons thematically. There is a Carl Reiner/Steve Martin comedy-noir collab called Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid featuring some help from a bevy of screen legends, plus an unexpected discovery from Code Red in the form of Story of a Woman, a romantic drama starring Ingmar Bergman regular Bibi Andersson, Dead and Buried star James Farentino, and Unsolved Mysteries host Robert Stack. In collaboration with Greenwich Entertainment, Kino Lorber brings us All the Streets Are Silent: The Convergence of Hip Hop and Skateboarding (1987-1997), a loving look back at two subcultures intersecting right before they became mainstream. Kino Lorber also has a delectable double feature starring IU Cinema favorite Vincent Price with The Tomb of Ligia, debatably the best of Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe adaptations, and Theater of Blood, the second best Price movie where he theatrically and thematically gets revenge on those who wronged him. My dual picks of the month come in the form of Criterion's release of Neil Jordan's Mona Lisa, starring the late great Bob Hoskins in a surprisingly tender role, and Arrow's luxuriant release of Ridley Scott's aesthetically ambitious Legend.
To me, it's a line-up of films that feel like fall (noir! dramatic romance! dark fantasy! horror!) and nicely transitions us to the spooky stuff coming down the pipeline in October. As always, a month filled with pleasures I can’t wait to tell you about.
Head over to the IU Cinema Blog to read the written reviews for films I did not mention here.
