Sam Peckinpah Centennial

This program invites us to revisit, through a couple of films, the work of America's most indomitable filmmaker, as this year marks his 100th anniversary. At once flamboyant and unsettling, brutal and romantic, Peckinpah's cinema stands out for the mastery of his direction, his gripping exploration of humanity – for better or worse, and the depth of his reflection on the many forms of violence that shape our world. A cinema that asserts its freedom without compromise, like the antiheroes on the run at its core.
