Time to re-evaluate FORBIDDEN GAMES (1952), René Clément's indelible, deeply moving and darkly comic Oscar® winner. UK Premiere of the 4K restoration is coming to #BFI this Sat 27th at 15:35, courtesy of @studiocanal.co.uk whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/defau...

Proud to present SAFAR (1972), Beyzaie's own favourite film, for its UK Premiere of the 4K restoration on Thu 9 Oct #LFF courtesy of @mk2-films.bsky.social whatson.bfi.org.uk/lff/Online/d...

Erich von Stroheim was born 140 years ago today, which is more than sufficient excuse to post this publicity still of him taken to promote FOOLISH WIVES (1922). It's a shame that more actor/directors don't don silk shirt, knickerbockers, girdle, stockings and suspenders for the camera.

Two gems in one go, LA PAGA and SAFAR, on Thu 9 Oct at #LFF whatson.bfi.org.uk/lff/Online/d...
