Every Tuesday at nine an "Uitkijk Special"!
These carefully curated evenings change theme every two months. Four completely different films, one overarching theme: from Sexy Cinema to Czech New Wave; nothing is too crazy during the Uitkijk Specials. Be surprised by titles you've never heard of before, and immerse yourself in the warm bath of your favorite films.
Every Sunday (9:00 PM) De Uitkijk screens a beautiful Classic. Every month we choose the most beautiful, touching or most shocking from film history to show our loyal audience. From Fritz Lang's Metropolis to Agnès Varda's Cleo 5 à 7, and from Stanley Kubrick's The Shining to Michelangelo Antonioni's La Notte, you'll see them all come by during the Sunday Classic!
September - October
CZECHOSLOVAK CLASSICS
CZECHOSLOVAK CLASSICS: Classics from the unrivalled history of Czechoslovak cinema. Screening throughout September and October at De Uitkijk.
How could a small country like the former Czechoslovakia have produced such an impressive cinematic legacy? For its special programme in September and October, De Uitkijk is screening nine films from this rich tradition – the Czechoslovak New Wave of the 1960s. The Czechoslovak ‘film miracle’, as the period is also known, produced a staggering number of extraordinary films. Political liberalisation and a generation of progressive filmmakers lay at the heart of this success – a success that De Uitkijk will be celebrating for two months.
SUNDAY CLASSIC OCTOBER
Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985)
Paul Schrader’s visually stunning, collagelike portrait of the acclaimed Japanese author and playwright Yukio Mishima (played by Ken Ogata) investigates the inner turmoil and contradictions of a man who attempted the impossible task of finding harmony among self, art, and society. Taking place on the last day of Mishima’s life and is punctuated by extended flashbacks to the writer’s past as well as gloriously stylized evocations of his fictional works. With its rich cinematography by John Bailey, exquisite sets and costumes by Eiko Ishioka, and unforgettable, highly influential score by Philip Glass, MISHIMA: A LIFE IN FOUR CHAPTERS is a tribute to its subject and a bold, investigative work of art in its own right.
