| Ingmar Bergman’s modernist masterpiece returns to the big screen in celebration of its 60th anniversary.

| On the cusp of marriage, Liana becomes convinced she shouldn't live a life in service of a man. Instead, she leaves for Amalfi, where she embarks on an affair. From there she makes for Paris, but each new adventure is compromised by some kind of emotional constraint, culminating in a final act of tragedy. Vittorio Cottafavi's emotionally complex story exhibits the melodramatic finesse of Douglas Sirk with a style reminiscent of Max Ophuls.A remarkably modern exploration of female autonomy, A Free Woman has been newly restored by Radiance and is presented on home video for the first time outside of Italy.
| A vicious serial killer nicknamed the “Tooth Fairy” due to his penchant for biting his victims has savagely killed two families. With his unit having hit a wall in identifying the assailant, FBI supervisor Jack Crawford attempts to convince his former top profiler, Will Graham, to assist with the case. Graham is reluctant, still shaken by his work apprehending the brilliant yet sociopathic cannibal Dr. Hannibal Lecktor, but eventually agrees. Fearing that another murder will soon take place, Graham realizes he must do the unthinkable: solicit help from Lecktor. As he ventures deeper into the world of serial murder and madness, his own perceptions of reality begin to falter. With paranoia and guilt setting in, he begins to question how close he can get to madness without going insane himself.
