We’re proud to present the brand-new trailer for our re-release of Bernardo Bertolucci’s searing indictment of fascism, complicity and the terrifying effects of political conformity, Il Conformista. One of the most visually astonishing films ever made, this hypnotic psychological thriller follows a repressed bureaucrat, chillingly portrayed by Jean-Louis Trintignant, who becomes ensnared in the fascist machinery of 1930s Italy and is tasked with murdering his former professor. With Vittorio Storaro’s masterful cinematography (Apocalypse Now) and Bertolucci’s elegant, expressionistic direction, Il Conformista is a dazzling study in style and subtext, probing themes of power, repression, and the seductive pull of conformity. The film has inspired generations of filmmakers, from Coppola to Scorsese, and remains a defining icon of European film history. Experience the political urgency and visual splendor of this classic starting March 19th, now fully restored in 4K by the Cineteca di Bologna. Trailer by .azman. 🇮🇹

Hungarian auteur Béla Tarr, a towering figure in contemplative cinema whose long takes and bleak black-and-white epics reshaped the art form, has died at the age of 70. 🕊️

Tarr emerged from grassroots beginnings in Hungary in the late 1970s to international prominence with films like Damnation, his breakthrough in 1988, and Sátántangó, a hypnotic seven-hour exploration of dissolution and despair that has been enshrined as one of the great achievements of world cinema.

His unique cinematic language of extended single shots, minimal editing and meditative pacing distilled a somber, reflective vision of human existence that influenced generations of filmmakers and helped define the slow cinema movement. 

Working closely with novelist László Krasznahorkai, Tarr made films such as Werckmeister Harmóniák (now screening as part of LAB Suggestions and The Turin Horse, his prize-winning final feature.
He leaves behind a body of work that forever stretched cinema’s sense of time, patience, and moral gravity. 🇭🇺

Homayoun Ershadi, a quietly powerful presence in world cinema, has passed away at 78. Born in Isfahan in 1947, he trained as an architect in Venice before fate led him into acting, most memorably when Abbas Kiarostami discovered him in his car and cast him in the Palme d’Or–winning Taste of Cherry.

His death, after a battle with cancer, leaves a profound void in Iranian and global cinema. May we remember him for his stillness, his strength, and the quiet wisdom he brought to the screen. 🇮🇷

You felt it too: a little recap of the festive opening of the exhibition of Danique Jaspers ( ) here at LAB111!

Danique’s analogue photographs, paired with lines from films like Past Lives, Before Sunrise and Call Me by Your Name, breathe a quiet kind of longing. They speak softly of missed chances, parallel lives, and what could have been. Images that linger like a dream you almost remember, or a film that moved you without knowing why.

Originally on view until September 14, the exhibition is now extended until the end of the month. Explore the full series in the downstairs gallery and find select works in Bar Strangelove. All prints are for sale in a limited edition of 10.

Check out this stunning new poster for The Graduate by artist Rory Kurtz! Dustin Hoffman stars as Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate who stumbles into an affair with the seductive Mrs. Robinson while struggling to find purpose in a world of empty expectations. This iconic classic blends biting satire with unforgettable imagery, capturing the aimlessness and rebellion of a generation. A landmark of New Hollywood cinema, The Graduate helped redefine American film in the late 1960s, influencing a wave of more personal, unconventional storytelling and making Hoffman an unlikely icon of youthful alienation.
