WINDS OF GOD (Japan, 2007, 100 minutes)
Daily @ 1pm
A comedy-timetraveling-reincarnation movie about kamikaze pilots during World War II, this slick production may be running in several different directions at once, but it’s a heartfelt, good-looking, well-produced movie from writer/director/star/producer Masayuki Imai. A true labor of love.

NO BORDERS, NO LIMITS: 1960’s Nikkatsu Action Cinema
This retrospective screens a film a month from the Nikkatsu vaults and it’s not to be missed. The movies have had subtitles made by Subway Cinema’s very own Marc Walkow who will painstakingly run them BY HAND during the screening (we whipped him until he got the timing perfect). This is the genius period of Nikkatsu when they were turning out stylish, jet set, visually jaw-dropping films from directors like Suzuki Seijun (PRINCESS RACCOON) and you really shouldn’t miss this opportunity to see these flicks.
More to come in January 2008!
