For this Sunday Kino Night, we’re starting with Dreams (1990), an eight-part anthology film by the master himself, Akira Kurosawa, featuring re-creations of dreams he said he actually had. Expect a whole lot of surreal imagery and bizarre non-sequiturs; this is not a linear narrative. Nevertheless, it is considered one of his best films, and is one of the highest-rated Japanese films on Letterboxd.

After that is Only Angels Have Wings (1939), a romance-adventure starring Cary Grant as a wisecracking, sarcastic bush pilot based in South America who also runs a freight service; to make a crucial delivery on time, he has to hire another pilot, who arrives with his ex-girlfriend (played by Rita Hayworth.) Meanwhile, another lady, played by Jean Arthur, starts woogin’ for him. Will romance? Will the delivery be made on time? I guess we’ll find out. This is one of the top-rated films of the 1930s on Letterboxd, and one of the best-regarded works of director Howard Hawks (also known for His Girl Friday [1940], Bringing Up Baby [1938], and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes [1953], among others.) Looks good, let’s watch.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
