The Lost Rider: A Chronicle of Hollywood Sacrifice

Jordan Peele
Tickets
Widely hailed as one of this century’s great directorial debuts, Jordan Peele’s era-defining Get Out injected new life into horror with its witty subversion of racial politics and elitist social mores. Two years later, his wildly entertaining Us plumbed everything from isolationist fears and late-capitalist power structures to the rich lineage of the doppelgänger motif and home-invasion thrillers. NOPE, his celebrated latest from 2022, might be his most stylistically adventurous yet: a big and kinetic, yet tightly controlled, Western-inflected UFO movie probing America’s legacy of exploitation and the spectacle of cinema itself. Indeed, few filmmakers working today are as skilled as Peele at leveling real-time social critiques within the look and textures of high-concept genre cinema, mixing the uncanny with the personal, and turning even the most bizarre into essential truths about living in the United States today. Join Film at Lincoln Center in the new year as we celebrate NOPE, featuring 70mm screenings with Peele in person and more: Peele has also handpicked an assortment of films that serve as a guide to understanding NOPE’s thematic interests—from Blaxploitation and America’s mythologized West to the moral implications of image-taking and child stardom.
Organized by Florence Almozini, Tyler Wilson, and Jordan Peele.

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
Stand By Me
Intro by Corey Feldman on Jan. 10
Based on Stephen King’s novella “The Body,” Rob Reiner’s third feature upends the classic coming-of-age film by compressing time and adding elements of the road-trip movie as the buddies (played by Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O’Connell) go from boys to men literally overnight.Dream a Little Dream
Intro by Corey Feldman on Jan. 10
In one of the strangest body-swap films from the late 1980s, Corey Feldman stars opposite Jason Robards, who plays an eccentric researcher so hopelessly in love with his wife (Piper Laurie) that he conducts an experiment to consciously enter a dream state with her forever—but instead wakes up in Feldman’s body.The Birthday
U.S. Premiere · Eugenio Mira & Corey Feldman in person for Q&A at 6:30pm screening & intro at 9:15pm screening
Part comedy of manners by way of Jerry Lewis, part phantasmagorical head trip, The Birthday is weirdo-horror of the highest order and peers straight into a traumatized headspace of relationship neuroses.Tickets are on sale now!
