Dazed and Confused (R)
A comedy about the adventures of incoming high school and junior high students on the last day of school in 1976. Their paths variously intersecting at a freshmen hazing, a local pool parlor and finally at a keg party. Like George Lucas' American Graffiti, Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused is an affectionate look at the youth culture of a bygone era. Considered to be a cult film classic, and includes then up-and-coming actors such as Ben Affleck, Matthew McConaughey, Parker Posey, and Milla Jovovich.

 DIRECTORIAL MASTERS
This continuing series will showcase the cinema masterworks of some of the most thoughtful and influential directors in recent decades. Both Stanley Kubrick (UK/USA) and Terence Malick (USA) figure amongst cinema's most unique stylists and each has produced milestone works in twentieth century film culture. Kubrick's work ranges from early masterpieces like Spartacus to rarely seen iconic titles like A Clockwork Orange and the classic war film Paths of Glory. Malick's recent blockbuster The Tree of Life has piqued interest in his earlier visionary works.

 INGMAR BERGMAN
This is the first in a continuing series of sustained explorations of the masterworks of modern cinema. Delving deep into the entire vision of some of cinema's greatest directors, the series starts with the essential masterpieces of Sweden's Ingmar Bergman. From his early, lyrical character studies to the dramatic sweep of his penetrating epics, Bergman's vision and style remains unmistakable and fresh today.

Wild Strawberries
A classic study on isolationism, this film is about a stubborn old man recalling his past as he is confronted by his loneliness during a long car ride to receive an honorary degree. During the trip, Isak is forced by nightmares, daydreams, his old age, and his impending death to reevaluate his life. As he gradually begins to accept himself, his past, his present, and his approaching death, closure and an affirmation of life finally come.
