1999

It’s been twenty-five years since cinema bid the twentieth century farewell with an extraordinary batch of films. In retrospect, 1999 was a time of intriguing cross-pollinations between the studios and independents, national and international productions, and high and low culture. Bringing together art-house favorites ( Beau travail , Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai ), Hollywood hits ( Girl, Interrupted ; The Insider ), and new cult classics ( Go , The Virgin Suicides ), this cinematic time capsule takes us back to the premillennial, pre-smartphone, dial-up moment just before the world as we knew it seemed to change forever.
