The films for October: What happens when the wrong person presses the wrong button? A former prince goes into exile after being cursed, Detective Dale Cooper returns to a mystery, and—celebrating 25 years of Donnie Darko (and the nightmare rabbit too).

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Kubrick’s vicious satire spits venom in the faces of the superpowers in a film created at the height of the Cold War. A mad American general sets the wheels of nuclear war in motion, and the film portrays, with macabre humor, the bureaucratic procedures that will bring about the end of the world. An extraordinary film, brimming with apocalyptic jokes that come together in a hair-raising statement about the end of humanity as a technocratic error. Starring Peter Sellers, hilarious to the point of tears, in a triple role.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

After the episodes of the monumental series Twin Peaks had ended—which was recently chosen by critics from around the world as the greatest television work in the history of the medium—David Lynch made this film, depicting Laura Palmer’s final ten days before her murder. The film was supposed to provide all the answers to the questions raised by the series, but instead only introduced more doubts into the hearts of its fans. As you may recall, the series was taken off the air in the United States at the time before Lynch had properly completed it, due to declining ratings. Therefore, as an act of protest, Lynch opens the film by smashing a television set.

Princess Mononoke

A young prince contracts an incurable illness after being attacked by a deranged boar god. He sets out to find the forest’s deer god, the only one who can save his life. There, he becomes caught up in a struggle between an iron-producing town and the various forest animals, led by Princess Mononoke, a girl raised by wolves. Miyazaki’s first film to be commercially distributed in Israel.

Snowpiercer

In a futuristic ice age, the only survivors are the passengers of a train who find themselves in a modern-day Noah’s Ark, traveling along a track that circles the Earth. But the class war threatens to tear apart the train’s social fabric, and the struggle of the “slave-car passengers” from the last car toward the front of the train—and toward the man who operates the engine and controls their fate—threatens to destroy humanity’s chance of survival.

Donnie Darko

October 30 is the day the world will end. Richard Kelly’s complex debut film, which became a cult classic, celebrates its 25th anniversary. A fantasy about a troubled boy who communicates with a giant rabbit that orders him to carry out acts of creative violence, especially after an airplane engine falls from the sky and crashes into his bedroom. A penetrating look into the darkest recesses of American culture, accompanied by a soundtrack that has itself already become a phenomenon.
