In this beloved cult classic fantasy, a traveling tax collector (Leslie Cheung) short on funds opts to take shelter in a seemingly abandoned temple. He is surprised to discover a beautiful maiden (Joey Wang) there, and instantly falls for her beauty and grace. While every romance has its challenges, the tax collector gets more than he bargained for when he learns that the maiden is in fact a ghost forced into servitude by a demon. With the help of a brave warrior, the tax collector must brave the perils of a supernatural world in order to free his newfound love.

The Killer:
One vicious hitman. One fierce cop. Ten thousand bullets.
Mob assassin Jeffrey (Chow Yun-Fat) is no ordinary hired gun; the best in his business, he views his chosen profession as a calling rather than simply a job. So, when beautiful nightclub chanteuse Jennie (Sally Yeh) is blinded in the crossfire of his most recent hit, Jeffrey chooses to retire after one last job to pay for his unintended victim’s sight-restoring operation. But when Jeffrey is double-crossed, he reluctantly joins forces with a rogue policeman (Danny Lee) to make things right.

Peking Opera Blues:
Brigitte Lin (Police Story), Cherie Chung (Once A Thief), and Sally Yeh (The Killer) light up the screen in this fast-paced and sparkling action-comedy from director Tsui Hark (Once Upon A Time In China, Twin Dragons, Double Team).
In the aftermath of China’s first democratic revolution, three high-spirited young women from very different backgrounds cross paths on a quest for liberation. Fate finds the three joining forces to discover their respective warriors within. Elegantly blending action, comedy, and social satire into a bright and colorful production (much like Peking Opera itself), Peking Opera Blues boasts Hark’s energetic filmmaking style at the height of his powers, along with the considerable charms of its three leads, and remains an acclaimed classic of Hong Kong cinema.

Hard Boiled:
Violence as poetry, rendered by a master. Brilliant and passionate, John Woo’s Hard Boiled tells the story of jaded detective “Tequila” Yuen (played with controlled fury by Chow Yun-fat), who loses his partner in a shoot-out with gun smugglers and goes on a mission to catch them. Woo’s dizzying odyssey through the world of Hong Kong Triads, undercover agents, and frenzied police raids culminates unforgettably in the breathless hospital sequence. More than a cops-and-bad-guys story, Hard Boiled continually startles with its originality and dark humor.

The Brig

All free La CinOMAthéque screenings will take place in the Truist Auditorium at the Orlando Museum of Art.
ACCESS FOR ALL AT OMA presents:
La CinOMAthéque: A collaboration between OMA and Enzian, with generous support provided by the Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program.
The Orlando Museum of Art is thrilled to announce the launch of La CinOMAthéque in partnership with the Enzian Theater, as part of its “Access for All at OMA,” an all-new program offering FREE admission to the museum!
Access for All at OMA is a monthly free day dedicated to the community. La CinOMAthéque will be a series of 6 bimonthly free screenings of experimental, avant-garde, art films in the Truist auditorium at OMA on Access for All day.
Each screening will be introduced by a UCF film professor and include a talkback with OMA Chief Curator Coralie Claeysen-Gleyzon and Enzian Programming Manager Tim Anderson.

The Brig:
Jonas Mekas looked to the stage for his second feature, an adaptation of Kenneth H. Brown’s play of the same name, which had been produced off-Broadway at the Living Theatre by Judith Malina and Julian Beck. A harrowing, suffocating portrait of brutality and dehumanization within a Marine Corps prison, the film chronicles the abuses and indignities suffered by 10 prisoners at the hands of a few sadistic guards across a single day. At once a seminal adaptation of experimental theater and a fierce polemic against the conjoined carceral and military-industrial complexes, this searing film is marked by, per a Time magazine write-up at the time of its premiere, “a nightmare air that suggests Kafka with a Kodak.”

The Thing from Another World
2025-09-17 20:00 - 22:00
Free movies on the Enzian lawn!
Wednesday Night Pitcher Shows are FREE and open to the public. Keep an eye on our Facebook for information about rescheduled shows due to weather. Free overflow parking is available at Park Maitland School and Peach Valley across the street. Outside food & beverage is not permitted.

The Thing from Another World:
When a U.S. Air Force crew investigates a mysterious crash in the Arctic, they uncover a spacecraft buried in the ice—and awaken its deadly occupant, a plant-based alien lifeform with a thirst for blood.
Marking the directorial debut of Oscar®-nominated editor Christian Nyby (Red River) and produced by the legendary Howard Hawks (His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby), this 1951 classic blends postwar paranoia with sharp dialogue, chills, and thrills. A cornerstone of Cold War-era science fiction, The Thing from Another World inspired generations of filmmakers and laid the groundwork for John Carpenter’s acclaimed 1982 reimagining, making it a must-see for fans of timeless genre cinema.

Ron Delsener Presents
2025-09-15 18:30 - 20:30
Ron Delsener Presents is an all-access pass to New York’s greatest gigs-featuring some of the iconic artists who performed in them; and a portrait of the singular figure who brought these shows together, rock concert promoter and impresario Ron Delsener.
In a career spanning sixty years, Delsener was the name behind virtually every major contemporary music concert in New York City for generations. From promoting the Beatles at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, to bringing David Bowie to Carnegie Hall, and Patti Smith to the Palladium, to somehow convincing Simon and Garfunkel to bury the hatchet and play the biggest concert of all time in Central Park, Ron Delsener was behind it all.
Ron Delsener Presents offers an intimate look into the life and legacy of legendary concert promoter Ron Delsener, showcasing never-before-seen archival footage and fresh interviews with Delsener himself and iconic artists who helped shape modern music. Featured voices include Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Jon Bon Jovi, Verdine White, Bette Midler, Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Patti Smith, and more. The film’s soundtrack spans generations, with classic tracks by The Beatles, Count Basie, David Bowie, Ike & Tina Turner, KISS, and Simon & Garfunkel, and features an original score by Money Mark, renowned producer and keyboardist for the Beastie Boys.
Through a portrait of a mercurial and relentless showman, Ron Delsener Presents takes us behind-the-curtain through the last half century of the live music business, chronicling the tactics that drove live performance from disorganized, low-fi nightclubs to international tours, arenas, stadiums, and, eventually, into a global empire. A transformation that Delsener is in many ways responsible for. Working in a business he helped to create, Delsener now in the later stages of his life, still has his hand in the game. Sure, he could stop—maybe even he should—but Ron doesn’t know how.

Akira Kurosawa’s Academy Award-winning adaptation of William Shakespeare’s King Lear, Ran considers the disastrous consequences of Lord Hidetora Ichimonji’s (Tatsuya Nakadai) decision to split his kingdom among his three sons.
About the Restoration:
Thirty years after its original release, Studiocanal decided to restore Ran in 4K in collaboration with the Japanese company Kadokawa. In 1985, the production of the original film was possible thanks to a French-Japanese collaboration and 30 years later, Studiocanal and Kadokawa replicated this partnership to restore the film. Ran has been restored in 4K by the French laboratory Éclair, under Studiocanal’s supervision. Based on an original negative, the majority of the restoration work was done manually, image by image. Color grading was approved by Masaharu Ueda, one of Ran‘s three cinematographers and a close associate of Kurosawa’s.

The Raid 2
2025-09-09 21:00 - 23:30
35mm Screening!
Gareth Evans’ blistering sequel to The Raid: Redemption redefined modern action cinema. This 150 minute epic picks up moments after the original film ends, following undercover cop Rama (Iko Uwais) as he plunges into Jakarta’s brutal criminal underworld to protect his family and expose corruption within the police force.
Famed for its intricate choreography, visceral fight scenes, and bold cinematic style, The Raid 2 expanded the claustrophobic intensity of its predecessor into an epic crime saga. Its brutal martial arts sequences have earned it (along with The Raid: Redemption) a legendary place in mid-2010s action cinema, even cited by director Chad Stahelski as a primary influence on his John Wick series!

Vortex
2025-09-07 11:00 - 14:00
Presented in split screen, VORTEX tells the story of an aging couple in a Paris apartment. As the mother (Françoise Lebrun) faces advancing dementia, the father (Dario Argento) tries to care for her while dealing with his own declining health, and their son (Alex Lutz) does his best in spite of his own significant personal problems. With this film, Director Gaspar Noé (Enter the Void, Climax, Irreversible) delivers a career best, finding a level of compassion and tenderness that sacrifices none of the visual excitement that has marked his best work.

Nashville
2025-09-06 11:00 - 14:00
One of the most distinctive voices in American cinema, Robert Altman (1925–2006) defied Hollywood conventions with a maverick spirit, crafting films known for their overlapping dialogue and large ensemble casts, and often using wide master shots to stage deeply intimate sagas. At 45, when he made his first successful studio film, Altman was far too old to be a ’60s counterculture icon, yet he stands as perhaps the most anti-establishment director of that era. From the satirical bite of M*A*S*H (1970) to the sprawling, multi-layered narratives of Nashville (1975) and Short Cuts (1993), Altman’s resume is a masterwork of subversion—spanning revisionist Westerns (McCabe & Mrs. Miller), film noir (The Long Goodbye), psychoanalytical family drama (3 Women), American politics (Tanner ’88), and later skewering Hollywood’s vapidity with his Oscar®-nominated 1992 film The Player.
As we celebrate 7-time Academy Award nominee Robert Altman’s 100th birthday, we honor a filmmaker who turned chaos into art and left an indelible mark on cinema as a medium of wickedly boundless possibilities.
Nashville:
50th Anniversary!
Nominated for 5 Academy Awards® and winner of Best Original Song (“I’m Easy”) maverick director Robert Altman’s ambitious, sprawling ensemble drama that paints a vibrant, satirical portrait of American life, fame, and politics through the intersecting lives of 24 characters over five days in the country music capital of the world. With a staggering 7 Golden Globe nominations just for acting, Altman’s assembled troupe includes iconic performances from the likes of Keith Carradine, Karen Black, Shelley Duvall, Ned Beatty, Geraldine Chaplin, Henry Gibson, Scott Glenn, Jeff Goldblum, Barbara Harris and Michael Murphy.
A biting satire of both music and politics, Nashville is considered one of Altman’s greatest masterpieces and a defining film of the 1970s, lauded for its layered storytelling, themes of ambition, identity, disillusionment, and the spectacle of American culture which converge in a final act that has to be seen to be believed.

Arrebato (Rapture)
2025-09-05 23:59 - 2025-09-06 01:30
4K restoration!
ARREBATO’s dimension-shattering blend of heroin, sex, and Super-8 is the final word in cinemania.
Horror movie director José (Eusebio Poncela, Matador) is adrift in a sea of doubt and drugs. As his belated second feature nears completion, his reclusive bubble is popped by two events: a sudden reappearance from an ex-girlfriend (Cecilia Roth, All About My Mother) and a package from past acquaintance Pedro: a reel of Super-8 film, an audiotape, and a door key. From there, the boundaries of time, space, and sexuality are erased as José is once more sucked into Pedro’s vampiric orbit. Together, they attempt the ultimate hallucinogenic catharsis through a moebius strip of filming and being filmed.
Long unavailable internationally, Arrebato has since been rediscovered as a cult masterpiece — a queer-coded, avant-garde horror tale often described as Spain’s answer to Videodrome or Eraserhead. Legendary director Pedro Almodóvar has cited it as a major influence, and its reputation has continued to grow for those drawn to the darker, drug-fueled edges of cinematic obsession.
Freaky Fridays ticket prices include a free popcorn and soda or lemonade for all attendees! Alcohol can be purchased at Eden Bar. Regular food service will not be available for Freaky Friday events. So, come early, and fuel up outside for the night ahead!

Forbidden Planet:
Step aboard a starship bound for Altair IV as we celebrate the groundbreaking sci-fi classic Forbidden Planet! Released in 1956, this visually stunning film follows Commander Adams (Leslie Nielsen, The Naked Gun) and his crew as they investigate the silence of a distant colony—only to discover the mysterious Dr. Morbius, his daughter Altaira, and the remnants of a powerful alien civilization known as the Krell.
Featuring early electronic music, the iconic Robby the Robot (making his first of over 40 on-screen appearances!!!), and Oscar®-nominated special effects, Forbidden Planet was a trailblazer for the genre, influencing everything from Star Trek to Star Wars. Join us for this milestone screening of a film that proved science fiction could be both cerebral and spectacular.

Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass
2025-08-30 11:30 - 13:00
Screening as part of “Animation August“!

These are not your childhood cartoons. Celebrate some of the boldest and most visionary works in modern animation during Animation August at Enzian!
Launching the program is 2-time Academy Award® nominee Don Hertzfeldt’s World of Tomorrow Trilogy (2016–2020), a profound and darkly funny meditation on memory, technology, and the fragility of the human experience. From Japan, Masaaki Yuasa’s Mind Game (2004) explodes onto the screen with fever-dream energy and unrestrained psychedelic imagination, pushing animation’s limits in both form and philosophy. Rounding out the lineup is Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass (2024). 20 years in the making, this haunting new dreamscape from the Brothers Quay—masters of stop-motion surrealism—is a gothic, ghostly descent into the subconscious. Join us for a collection of films that promise to challenge, mesmerize, and linger long after the credits roll. Please note, this animation program is not intended for children and contains adult themes and content.
Unleash your inner “Ani-Maniac” and see all three films with a discounted series pass!
Sanitorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass:
Produced and presented by Christopher Nolan. In their first feature in 20 years, Stephen and Timothy Quay return to adapt the work of Polish writer Bruno Schulz with a mixture of stop motion puppetry and live action. A ghostly train journey on a forgotten branch line transports a son, Jozef, visiting his dying Father in a remote Galician Sanatorium. Upon arrival, Jozef finds the Sanatorium entirely moribund and run by a dubious Doctor Gotard, who tells him that his father’s death, the death that has struck him in his country, has not yet occurred and that here they are always late by a certain interval of time of which the length cannot be defined. Jozef will come to realize that the Sanatorium is a floating world halfway between sleep and wakefulness and that time and events cannot be measured in any tangible form.
About the Quay Brothers: Identical twins Stephen Quay and Timothy Quay, known as the Brothers Quay, are two of the most distinct filmmakers of our time. Their stop-motion animations have introduced a generation of viewers to a lyrical darkness not often associated with animation. Influenced by Central and Eastern European artists and writers like Walerian Borowczyk, Jan Švankmajer and Franz Kafka, their work creates haunting, miniature worlds of uncanny puppets and atmospheric detail that reflects the dark psychology resulting from a century of industrial warfare, surrealist art, and dialectical politics.

The Short Films of Marie Menken:
Marie Menken (1910-1970) is the unsung heroine of the American avant-garde cinema. A mentor, muse and major influence for such key experimental filmmakers as Kenneth Anger, Stan Brakhage, Jonas Mekas and Andy Warhol, Menken created an extraordinary body of exuberant and stunningly beautiful films shaped, above all, by her intuitive understanding of handheld cinematography. Beginning with her celebrated first film, Visual Variations on Noguchi (1945), Menken used the hand-cranked Bolex camera favored by avant-garde filmmakers to introduce a new agility, grace and spontaneity into experimental cinema, a lightness of camera and form hitherto unseen in American film. With Noguchi, Menken also began a spirited dialogue between cinema and the plastic and painterly arts that extends across her films in a witty yet deeply insightful exploration of the formal language and methodology specific to those schools and painters with whom Menken was close – from the Abstract Expressionist drip painting humorously critiqued in Drips in Strips (1963), to the factory production of Pop art in the revelatory Andy Warhol (1964) and the Fluxus practice of Robert Watts in Watts with Eggs (1967).
Featuring:
Watts with Eggs (1967, 2.5 min)
Wrestling (1964, 8 min)
Visual Variations on Noguchi (1945, 4 min)
Notebook (1962, 10 min)

The Roses
2025-08-28 - 2025-09-18
Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch): successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites. The Roses, directed by Jay Roach (Meet the Parents, Trumbo) and written by Tony McNamara (The Favorite, Poor Things), is a reimagining of the 1989 classic film The War of the Roses, based on the novel by Warren Adler.

The Last Dragon
2025-08-27 20:00 - 22:00

The Last Dragon:
In this martial arts cult classic, Leroy Green—nicknamed “Bruce Leroy”—is a young kung fu student in Harlem on a quest to achieve the final level of martial arts mastery known as “The Glow.” Guided by the teachings of Bruce Lee, Leroy embarks on a journey of self-discovery, inner strength, and love. Along the way, he becomes the unlikely protector of Laura Charles (Pop-singer Vanity), a glamorous video show host targeted by a ruthless music promoter and his thugs.
Standing in Leroy’s path is the flamboyant and fearsome villain Sho’nuff, the self-proclaimed “Shogun of Harlem,” who challenges him both physically and spiritually. As the tension escalates, Leroy must confront his fears, embrace his destiny, and unlock the ultimate power within himself to defeat evil and become The Last Dragon.
The Last Dragon is a unique cultural fusion of East-meets-West, martial arts cinema, 1980s music video aesthetics, and Motown soul—brought to life through Berry Gordy’s distinctive creative vision.

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
2025-08-26 21:30 - 23:30
35mm Screening!
The breakout international hit that propelled Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar to global fame, Women on the Verge of Nervous Breakdown is a wild, vibrant farce tinged with heartbreak. The film follows actress Pepa Marcos (Carmen Maura) as her life unravels after being abruptly dumped by her lover. With its madcap pacing, surreal humor, and stylish flair, the film became a defining work of post-Franco Spanish cinema—boldly exploring themes of female desire, emotional instability, and independence.
“Women on the Verge” also sparked controversy upon release. Its candid depiction of women’s mental health, sexuality, and tranquilizer use challenged more conservative audiences and critics. In Spain, the film both scandalized and thrilled a society still adjusting to democratic freedoms, while abroad, it introduced Almodóvar’s unapologetically eccentric and feminist lens to a wider audience.
QLatinx will be in attendance and tabling in the lobby!

Emma (1996)
2025-08-24 11:00 - 13:30
2025 marks the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth. In honor of this literary giant, Enzian Theater and the Winter Park Library will celebrate with “A Year with Jane Austen”. Scheduled throughout the year, The Winter Park Library will read each of Austen’s six novels as well as screen various adaptations of the accompanying films and miniseries at both the Library and at Enzian Theater.
Welcome to a time where Empire-waisted wit is sharp, and love is found in the most unexpected of places! Where the art of conversation is as important as the plot itself—often more so—and the pursuit of happiness is a delicate dance of propriety and passion. With our special “A Year with Austen” series, you can sit back, sip your tea, and enjoy a romp through a pastoral landscape, where everyone may be too proud or too prejudiced, but they’re always too fabulous to resist!
Emma:
In this adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel, pretty socialite Emma Woodhouse (Gwyneth Paltrow) entertains herself by playing matchmaker for those around her. Her latest “project” is Harriet Smith, an unpretentious debutant, while Emma herself receives the attentions of the dashing Frank Churchill (Ewan McGregor). However, Emma’s attempts at matchmaking cause more problems than solutions and may ultimately jeopardize her own chance at love and happiness.
With an all-star cast including Toni Collette, Alan Cumming, Jeremy Northam and Greta Scacchi, Academy Award®–nominee Douglas McGrath (Bullets Over Broadway) has crafted, along with Sense and Sensibility the greatest Austen adaptation of the 1990s.

Mind Game:
Loser Nishi, too wimpy to try to save his childhood sweetheart from gangsters, is shot by a soccer-playing psychopath and projected into the afterlife. In this limbo, God – shown as a series of rapidly changing characters – tells him to walk toward the light. But Nishi runs like hell in the other direction and returns to Earth a changed man, driven to live each moment to the fullest. An exhilarating and wildly entertaining ride, this mind-bending and unconstrained cult classic is the feature film debut from director Masaaki Yuasa (NIGHT IS SHORT, WALK ON GIRL and DEVILMAN CRYBABY).
About Masaaki Yuasa: Widely regarded as one of the most imaginative and influential filmmakers working in animation, celebrated Japanese director Masaaki Yuasa is one of contemporary anime’s most prolific auteurs. His energetic and boundary-pushing style has lent his humor and dynamism to genres as diverse as psychedelic thrillers, transcendent rock-operas and sweetly subversive teen romances. Since his groundbreaking debut with Mind Game in 2004, he has consistently pushed the artistic potential of animation. His previous studio Science Saru, which he co-founded in 2013, produced hits such as “Devilman Crybaby,” “Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!” and Netflix’s “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.” Yuasa has gone on to direct episodes of Adventure Time, the Annecy Award-winning Lu Over the Wall (2017), and the Golden Globe-nominated Inu-Oh (2021).

It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley
2025-08-23 - 2025-08-27
Includes a post-film screening of 26 minutes of exclusive, remastered footage from a rare solo performance in Cambridge, MA.
Before his untimely death in 1997, rising star Jeff Buckley had released just one album, but his talent was undeniable and his spirit was irresistible. Now, the depth of his legacy is explored through never-before-seen footage, rare voice messages, and testimonials from friends and loved ones. Amy Berg (JANIS: LITTLE GIRL BLUE, WEST OF MEMPHIS) crafts a deeply compassionate and lyrical portrait of the legendary musician, offering a view into the inner world of an artist who burned brightly and briefly. Berg balances the tragedy of Buckley’s sudden loss with moments of joy, love, and artistic discovery, letting his memory and music—including footage of haunting live performances—resonate. Like his music, IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY is tender, searching, and full of life.
Very few were fortunate enough to witness Jeff Buckley live, but those who did often described it as transcendent, jaw-dropping, and emotionally shattering. As part of the theatrical release of It’s Never Over: Jeff Buckley, Magnolia Pictures will proudly present 26 minutes of exclusive, remastered footage from a rare solo performance at The Middle East in Cambridge, MA, filmed on February 19, 1994. This previously unreleased set will screen immediately following the film, offering both longtime fans and newcomers a rare opportunity to experience Jeff Buckley’s raw, unfiltered brilliance.

Heartworn Highways
2025-08-18 18:30 - 20:30
New Restoration!
In the mid-‘70s, filmmaker James Szalapski documented the then-nascent music movement that would become known as “outlaw country.” Inspired, in part, by newly-long-haired Willie Nelson’s embrace of hippie attitudes and audiences, a younger generation of artists including Townes Van Zandt, David Allan Coe, Steve Earle, Charlie Daniels and Guy Clark popularized and developed the outlaw sound. It borrowed from rock, folk and bluegrass, with an edge that was missing from mainstream Nashville country.
Musical highlights include Clark’s brilliant “Desperados Waiting for a Train” and Van Zandt’s emotional “Pancho & Lefty”. The hard living—and hard partying—lifestyles of outlaw country’s figureheads are played out on screen as we visit Van Zandt’s Austin trailer, see Coe play in Tennessee State Prison, join the gang in Nashville’s notorious Wig Wam Tavern and witness a liquor-fueled Christmas at Clark’s house. No wonder the film’s original tagline read: “The best music and the best whiskey come from the same part of the country.”
This newly restored edition includes rarely captured performances of the aforementioned musicians as they perfected this then-new style and helped change the course of country music history.

13 Assassins
2025-08-12 21:30 - 23:30
35mm Screening!
Set in 1844 during the final years of the Edo period, the film follows Shinzaemon Shimada (Kôji Yakusho, Cure, Pulse), a seasoned and honorable samurai who is tasked with a covert mission: to assassinate Lord Naritsugu Matsudaira, the sadistic younger brother of the Shogun. Naritsugu’s ruthless behavior and unchecked power threaten the stability of the shogunate. To prevent future chaos, Shinzaemon recruits twelve other samurai to form a death squad. Together, the thirteen warriors prepare for a final, explosive ambush in a remote village, culminating in a climactic 45-minute battle sequence!
13 Assassins received widespread acclaim for its direction, performances, and especially its brutal, meticulously choreographed action. A remake of the 1963 film of the same name by Eiichi Kudo, it is considered one of maverick director Takashi Miike’s (Audition) most accessible and critically respected works, marking a departure from his usual horror and avant-garde style into a more classical narrative while sacrificing none of his operatic staging.
