This one’s for Hollywood!

A powerful, hallucinatory piece of purely emotional cinema, WIND was, like most of Sirk’s films, overlooked and misunderstood during his lifetime. Today, Sirk is a primary influence on filmmakers as diverse as Todd Haynes, Pedro Almodovar, Guy Maddin and George Kuchar, and his films are revered as the very pinnacle of melodramatic art.

All the cinematic stops are pulled in this wrenching story of the very, very rich, whose lack of morality and character lead to ruin and death. Starring Rock Hudson and Lauren Bacall.

“I have seen WRITTEN ON THE WIND a thousand times, and I cannot wait to see it again.” -Pedro Almodovar
