*****REBELS & OUTLAWS*****
OUTLAW BLUES
Action – Comedy – Drama
USA, 1977, 100′, English
<<<OUTLAW BLUES>>>
A true oddity, OUTLAW BLUES is a “man on the run” movie starring Peter Fonda that is steeped in 1970’s outlaw country flare. When Bobby (Fonda) gets a song he wrote while an inmate in Texas stolen by a major country star, he seeks the man out and get caught up on the wrong side of the law. Filmed largely in Austin, Texas there is a great authenticity to this quirky, country-fried movie.
***Part of Film i Malmö’s Rebels & Outlaws Series***
What makes an outlaw? What circumstances create a rebel? One person’s righteous cause could be an existential threat for another, but who decides how they are labeled?
Film i Malmö is highlighting some of our favorite cinematic outlaws and rebels. We have hunted down gems featuring fugitives, freedom-fighters and fanatics that have found themselves going against the grain and against authority. Let’s find out what makes them tick.

*****QUEER THURSDAYS*****
IMAGINE ME & YOU
Romantic Comedy
UK, 2005, 90′, English
Is Imagine Me & You a good movie? I’ve seen it no less than twenty times, and I still don’t know. It’s funny. The performances are charming. It’s a fun — if somewhat poorly paced — queer romcom. And the kissing! The kissing is very good. I like the movie very much, but I don’t think it’s necessarily Good, and I don’t even think it’s a movie that’s So Bad It’s Good. It’s just sort of a fine movie but one I watch over and over again, because it was one of the first lesbian romcoms I ever saw, and you never forget your first.
But I do also love the satisfying feeling of watching a predictable and charming romcom, and this hits all those right notes while also being VERY GAY. It’s the kind of movie you can pop on during a rainy day with some scented candles and just sort of sink into.
There’s one thing I do know for certain about Imagine Me & You’s legacy: Arranging flowers is gay. Clarissa Dalloway in The Hours buys the flowers herself. The Haunting Of Bly Manor ends with its two queer characters buying and running a flower shop together. And Imagine Me & You is peak Dyke Floral Arrangement — a subculture I just made up right now but one I absolutely subscribe to.

TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA
Action – Crime – Drama – Thriller
US, 1985, 116′, English
A loose cannon Secret Service agent with no qualms about using illegal and unethical methods is out to bring down the brutal counterfeiter (Willem Dafoe) who killed his partner. William Friedkin (French Connection, The Exorcist) directed this very 1980s action thriller, complete with coke fiends, car chases, shoot-outs and a new wave soundtrack by Wang Chung.
“It feels like a transmission from a different planet.”
Bilge Ebiri, Village Voice
“Comparisons to TV’s “Miami Vice” are probably inevitable because of the picture’s look and sound track. But “To Live and Die in L.A.” is hotter, faster, kinkier, and has better music.”
Catherine Rambeau, Detroit Free Press
“The high point of the film is a stunning car chase, in which the agents drive against the flow of traffic on a busy six-lane freeway that is only surpassed by the one in Friedkin’s earlier masterpiece, The French Connection.”
Joe Clay, Times

LA HAINE / HATE
Crime – Drama
France, 1995, 98′, French with English subtitles
Mathieu Kassovitz took the film world by storm with LA HAINE, a gritty, unsettling, and visually explosive look at the racial and cultural volatility in modern-day France, specifically the low-income banlieue districts on Paris’s outskirts. Aimlessly passing their days in the concrete environs of their dead-end suburbia, Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Hubert (Hubert Koundé), and Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui)—Jewish, African, and Arab, respectively—give human faces to France’s immigrant populations, their bristling resentment at their marginalization slowly simmering until it reaches a climactic boiling point.
A work of tough beauty, LA HAINE is a landmark of 1990s French cinema and a gripping reflection of its country’s ongoing identity crisis.

KOYAANISQATSI
Experimental – Documentary – Music
US, 1982, 86′, Hopi | English with English subtitles
Koyaanisqatsi is a 1982 experimental documentary directed by Godfrey Reggio with a score by Philip Glass. The film presents a visual journey that explores the relationship between humans, nature, and technology. It opens with serene shots of the natural world, gradually contrasting them with the rapid pace and chaos of modern industrial society. The documentary uses no dialogue, relying solely on stunning imagery and music to convey its message. It critiques the environmental degradation, overconsumption, and alienation caused by technological progress. The film’s title, a Hopi word, translates to “life out of balance.” Through its time-lapse cinematography, it highlights the disconnection between human existence and the earth’s natural rhythms. The work invites viewers to reflect on the consequences of humanity’s dependence on technology. It suggests a loss of harmony and connection with nature as society grows more mechanized. Ultimately, Koyaanisqatsi is a powerful meditation on the imbalance between modern civilization and the environment.
