Lew Ayres and Louis Wolheim in All Quiet on the Western Front

The silent version of the best picture Academy Award winner All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), in my view the greatest war movie ever made, will be screened at New York City&#8217;s Film Forum on Monday, August 3. Showtimes are at 3:20, 6:50, and 9:20. 
Having been restored and preserved by the Library of Congress, and featuring two reels cut from the original talkie print following the film&#8217;s East and West Coast premieres, this silent version &#8212; edited from the foreign negative &#8212; comes  with musical accompaniment intended for foreign markets where theaters  hadn&#8217;t yet been equipped to sound. (I should add that in the silent [...]]]></description>

Viridiana, Luis Buñuel&#8217;s   provocative 1961 Palme d&#8217;Or-winning classic proving that life is a bitch and then you play cards, will run at New York City&#8217;s Film Forum from Friday, April 24, through Thursday, April 30.
Inspired by a painting of   Saint Viridiana kneeling  on the floor before a crucifix and crown of thorns (and by Benito Pérez Galdós&#8216; novel Halma), co-written by Buñuel and Julio Alejandro, and financed by the lead actress&#8217; rich husband, Viridiana  stars Silvia Pinal (recently honored with a Lifetime Achievement Ariel Award), as a  pious young nun who, before entering a cloister, goes visit her strange and reclusive uncle (Fernando Rey). There, while trying to do Good, she befriends the [...]]]></description>

&#34;Mamoulian,&#34; a complete retrospective of Hollywood director Rouben Mamoulian (1897-1987), one of cinema&#8217;s greatest stylists and innovators, will run at the Film Forum from Friday, September 7 through Tuesday, September 18.
As per the Film Forum&#8217;s press release, Mamoulian was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, to an Armenian family. He worked at the Moscow Art Theater while attending university, and, following a chance meeting with industrialist/philanthropist George Eastman (founder of the Kodak film company) he moved to Rochester, New York, to direct plays. 
Shortly thereafter he was on Broadway, directing Dorothy and Dubose Heyward&#8217;s Porgy, which became the basis for George Gershwin&#8217;s Porgy and Bess, a musical that Mamoulian would also direct. [See Porgy and Bess screening in New York.]
