LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN, BIGGER THAN LIFE and Z
November 27 - December 4
The CCA celebrates the vibrant world of film preservation with newly restored prints of three classic, rarely seen films in 35mm.
LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN
“Staggeringly beautiful … A
strangely heartening reminder
of just how exhilaratingly
bizarre Hollywood
moviemaking could get!”
–The Auteurs
John Stahl’s gorgeously
intense Technicolor
masterpiece stars Gene
Tierney (“the fatalest of the
femmes in this melodrama”
–NY Post) as a woman
who meets and seduces
a best-selling author
on a train, setting off a
spectacular series of deadly
misadventures (including
a scene in the New Mexico
mountains). Unmissable.
(U.S., 1945, 110m, 35mm,
Criterion Pictures)

BIGGER THAN LIFE
“Revelatory! A revival not to
be miss ed!” –The New Yorker
Scott Foundas calls it
“Father Knows Best
reconfigured as Greek
tragedy”: Nicholas Ray’s
unforgettable Cinemascope
masterpiece—which has for
years been nearly impossible
to see—stars a terrifying
James Mason as a man
altered by an experimental
drug … an experiment that
ends up twisting the entire
Rockwellian town where he
lives. “One of the best, most
radical, least-known American
films … A canny retelling of
the Jekyll and Hyde story.”
–Village Voice.
(U.S., 1956, 95m, 35mm)

Z
“An extraordinary thriller!
One of the fastest, most
exciting melodramas ever
made” –Pauline Kael
The winner of the Cannes Jury
Prize (awarded unanimously)
and the Best Foreign Film
Oscar, Costa-Gavras’
landmark counter-culture
thriller dives deep into
revolutionary street-level
politics and brutal response
by the powers-that-be. A
touchstone of subversive
cinema, Z remains as vibrant
and relevant as ever, 40 years
after its initial, worldwidesmash,
release. With
Yves Montand, Jean-Louis
Trintignant and Irene Papas.
(Algeria, 1969, 127m, 35mm)
