“Judex” (1963) – Forget the Marvel Universe. This haunting, visually sublime homage to the apex of silent cinema blends fairy-tale surrealism and pulp-serial nostalgia while turning all the masked-superhero tropes on their collective head. Celebrated French director Georges (“Eyes w/o a Face”) Franju has crafted striking, painterly compositions in rich black-and-white, evoking the aesthetic of silent masterpieces. The hypnotic pacing, mood, and visual elegance make “Judex” a revered cult classic. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see it projected on actual film in its original French form with English subtitles” – Andy M.
