As Milo fights his own personal demons in the form a drug addiction he’s trying to kick, his business day proves equally challenging once a shipment of ecstasy arrives in place of the heroin he was expecting.

New 4K Restoration!
PUSHER II tells the story of Tonny, (Mads Mikkelsen) a petty hood from the Copenhagen underworld whose previous run-in with a baseball bat has left his mind addled and unreliable.

Tonny soon learns that nothing in this new life comes easy. Trying to repay a debt held over from prison, he makes misstep after misstep, running further afoul of the Duke. On top of it all, Tonny must contribute to the upbringing of a baby boy who may or may not be his own.

I Shot Andy Warhol
New 4K Restoration! 30th Anniversary!
One of the great indie debuts of the 90s, Harron’s curiously moving portrait of the notorious Valerie Solanas (a note-perfect Lili Taylor) captures the outsider feminist revolutionary infamous for her S.C.U.M. Manifesto (an acronym for The Society for Cutting Up Men) and her attempted assasination of the king of Pop Art. With Jared Harris, Martha Plimpton, Michael Imperioli and, as Candy Darling, Stephen Dorff
“If you want to know what the Warhol scene was all about, this is even better than the documentaries.”- Jonathan Rosenbaum, The Chicago Reader
Cave of Forgotten Dreams 3D
New 6K Restoration! 15th Anniversary!
15 years after becoming one of IFC Center’s biggest hits of all time, Werner Herzog’s landmark documentary returns in a dazzling new 6K restoration, fully remastered and more immersive than ever.
The visionary filmmaker leads us on an unforgettable journey 32,000 years back in time to explore the earliest known images made by human hands. Discovered in 1994, France’s Chauvet caves contain the rarest of the world’s historic treasures, restricted to only a handful of researchers. Granted once-in-a-lifetime access and filming in 3D, Herzog captures the beauty of a truly awe-inspiring place, while musing in his inimitable fashion about its original inhabitants, the birth of art and the curious people surrounding the caves today. With this state-of-the-art restoration, completed in revolutionary 6K technology, Herzog gives moviegoers a more intensely profound experience of the caves than ever before.
Sweet Movie
Pushing his themes of sexual liberation to their boiling point, Yugoslavian art-house provocateur Dušan Makavejev followed his international sensation WR: Mysteries of the Organism with this full-throated shriek in the face of bourgeois complacency and movie watching. Sweet Movie tackles the limits of personal and political freedom with kaleidoscopic feverishness, shuttling viewers from a gynecological beauty pageant to a grotesque food orgy with scatological, taboo-shattering glee. With its lewd abandon and sketch-comedy perversity, Sweet Movie became both a cult staple and exemplar of the envelope pushing of 1970s cinema.
