William Friedkin: Fate and Faith

Series Site

“He stripped life down to something brutal and essential — something that, in his greatest movies, can still possess you.” — Owen Gleiberman, Variety

William Friedkin (1935 – 2023) believed that ultimately, all stories are about mysteries of fate, or mysteries of faith. The films in this handpicked series explore these mysteries in surprising and heart-pounding ways. Featuring favorites like SORCERER and THE FRENCH CONNECTION, a 50th anniversary 4K restoration of THE EXORCIST, and 35mm screenings of RAMPAGEJADETHE GUARDIAN, and THE EXORCIST’s Director’s Cut, the program celebrates one of Hollywood’s most daring filmmakers.
