LA DOLCE VITA (Federico Fellini, 1960 / DCP, 174 mins, 18A) Marcello Marstroianni and Anita Ekberg star in LA DOLCE VITA – one of the best from one of the best, Federico Fellini. A dazzling film that weaves elements of the surreal and magical to humbly expose honest elements of the human condition via a week in the life of a philandering paparazzo journalist (Mastroianni, in one of his most memorable performances), living in Rome.

THE NIGHT PORTER “Il portiere di notte” (Lilliana Cavani, 1974 / Blu Ray, 118 mins, 18A) | After a chance meeting at a hotel in 1957, a Holocaust survivor (the exquisite Charlotte Rampling) and the Nazi officer (Dirk Bogarde) who tortured her resume their sadomasochistic relationship, which threatens them both. Liliana Cavani’s THE NIGHT PORTER continues to divide audiences over its controversial themes and moral ambiguity; the far-reaching impact of its fetishistic aesthetic as influential today as it was upon its release in 1974.
