"There was theatre (Griffith), poetry (Murnau), painting (Rossellini), dance (Eisenstein), music (Renoir). Henceforth there is cinema. And the cinema is Nicholas Ray." (Jean-Luc Godard). Born Raymond Nicholas Kienzle in Galesville, WI, Nicholas Ray (1911-1979) was perhaps the quintessential Hollywood auteur: a genuine and sensitive artist working within the studio system. This series will include some of Ray's best-known titles (Rebel Without a Cause, In a Lonely Place), some that deserve to be better known (Wind Across the Everglades, The Savage Innocents) and will culminate with an in-person visit from the director's widow, Susan Ray, and a screening of the restored version of his final feature, We Can't Go Home Again.
