The Godfather

The Museum of the Moving Image (6-01 35th Ave, New York, NY) proudly features the work of talented cinematographers in their new exhibition series See It Big: Great Cinematographers, which runs until December 29, 2013. Including work by Gordon Willis, Vittorio Storaro, Vilmos Zsigmond, Néstor Almendros, Raoul Coutard, and James Wong Howe, these are films that are bigger than big, the kind of films that take full advantage of the cinema screen to command your attention.

One of the highlights of the show is a pristine digital projection of The Godfather, the restoration of which was overseen by Francis Ford Coppola, and will be screened December 28.

Dario Argento’s vibrant giallo horror classic Suspiria will be shown on December 15, along with bizarre prison escape flick/Tom Waits starring vehicle from Jim Jarmusch, Down By Law. And for those of you looking for something truly epic in scale, there’s David Lean’s 1965 epic Doctor Zhivago.

Other films being screened include:

• McCabe and Mrs. Miller
• How Green Was My Valley
• Children of Men
• Black Narcissus
• Empire of the Sun
• Fat City
• The Big Combo
• Night of the Hunter

All films will be screened in the Museum of the Moving Image’s sumptuous Redstone Theater. So why hunch over your desktop or squint your eyes looking at a tablet, when you can see some of the best films ever made in one of New York’s true temples to cinema.
