Alright, Toronto, Get ready to spend those warm summer nights inside, because the TIFF Bell Lightboxs summer line up is far too good. Alongside special one-off screenings of Jodorowskys El Topo (June 11 at 10:15 PM), Kurosawas revenge drama The Bad Sleep Well (June 28 at 8:45 PM), Rodriguezs From Dusk Till Dawn (August 26 at 9:00 PM) and several more worthy hot tickets for fans of genre and the bizarre, they have announced career retrospectives for the recently departed master of art-house terror Andrzej Zu?awkski, and the neon coloured murder maven Brian De Palma.
Mad Love: Andrzej Zu?awskis Cinema Hysteria begins June 25 with a screening of his perhaps best known film Possession, and runs until August 6 with the closing night screening of his final film, the comedy Cosmos. We lost the Polish auteur this past February, adding to the long list of dearly departed artists that 2016 continues to take from us, making this retrospective a perfect time to reflect on his genuinely terrifying set of works.
