Because nothing says “I love you” like three-strip Technicolor, Metrograph celebrates Valentine’s Day with a bouquet of emerald greens, pastel pinks, cerulean blues, and a whole rainbow of other super saturated colors which lend a lavish, lapidary, and altogether otherworldly quality to these classic romances, including cherished standbys from the likes of Ernst Lubitsch, Vincente Minnelli, and Jean Renoir. In an era of dishwater drab “dark” modern blockbusters, give yourself (and perhaps a special someone) the gift of glowing stained glass grandeur, in a program of films that offer a glimpse of how the world ought to look. Titles include An American in Paris, Heaven Can Wait, Pandora and the Flying Dutchman, The River, and more.
