The Fury

Presented on 35mm

In Brian De Palma’s supernatural horror thriller, former CIA Agent (Kirk Douglas) enlists a young psychic (Amy Irving) for help locating his kidnapped son, stolen from him by a secretive research institute led by an old colleague (John Cassavetes). In her second collaboration with De Palma, Irving delivers a powerful performance, matched by a swirling John Williams score and set pieces that still stun.

The Fury will be the first film in this year’s annual Halloween Movie Marathon on October 24: curated by Filmmaker Alex Ross Perry. Amy Irving will be in attendance to discuss the film in an extended introduction. Encore screening on 10/31.

"Like The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Fury yokes together a spy thriller and a domestic drama while also incorporating elements of [Science Fiction] and horror."
Phillip French, The Guardian
"The film is so visually compelling that a viewer seems to have entered a mythic night world; no Hitchcock thriller was ever so intense, went so far, or had so many 'classic' sequences."
Pauline Kael, The New Yorker

This film is part of the Starring Amy Irving series.
