European Cinema Classics

Overview

Are you sick of forking out an arm and a leg for mediocre Hollywood blockbusters? If yes, you might want to head down to the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Timed to coincide with the current exhibition of paintings on loan from the National Galleries of Scotland, the European Cinema Classics program consists of bi-weekly showings of iconic motion pictures from all across the continent. And like the best things in life, it's 100 percent free.

Held on select Wednesday and Sundays between now and the first week of February, the program features ten films in total, spanning more than five decades in European film history. Highlights include Roman Polanski's violent adaption of Macbeth, Pier Paolo Pasolini's biblical drama The Gospel According to St. Matthew, Werner Herzog's medieval epic Aguirre: the Wrath of God and Ingmar Bergman's undisputed masterpiece The Seventh Seal.
