Restoration Roundup, one of my favorite regular Belcourt series, is back this month with another eclectic lineup. Things get started this weekend with the wuxia classic (and Tarantino favorite) Master of the Flying Guillotine, John Woo’s gonzo Hollywood foray Face/Off, Hong Kong actioner Full Contact starring the legendary Chow Yun-fat and my choice for the weekend — the iconic Western Shane. George Stevens’ 1953 classic stars Alan Ladd as the titular gunslinger who, in the familiar Red Harvest-style story, becomes entangled in a standoff between poor local homesteaders and wealthy ranchers trying to bully them off their land. Jack Palance shines as always in an Oscar-nominated supporting role as the dastardly black hat Jack Wilson. Seeing this film’s gorgeous Technicolor landscapes on the big screen in an updated 4K print? That’s why we love the Restoration Roundup.
