Ruth Sokolof Theater 1340 Mike Fahey Street

German director Douglas Sirk is best known for crafting highly stylized Hollywood melodramas in the 1950s.

Though initially dismissed by his American contemporaries as facile “women’s weepies,” Sirk’s films achieved box office success and were celebrated by the vanguard of the French New Wave, who identified the subtle but searing social criticism running through their lavish stories. Shortly after the 1959 release of IMITATION OF LIFE, now considered a masterpiece, Sirk left the U.S. and never made another feature.

His films are now widely appreciated as a rare intersection of mainstream film and high concept cinema, subversive works that were also seen by the masses. This retrospective includes five films, all on 35mm prints. Two will be accompanied by Screen Chats, led by Education Director Diana Martinez (see reverse side for dates and times).
