The exquisite ache of longing suffuses these at once melancholy and intoxicatingly romantic visions of heartbreak, unrequited love, and forbidden passion that luxuriate in the overwhelming pull toward a connection that feels all but impossible. From swooning Hollywood classics ( Pandora and the Flying Dutchman , All That Heaven Allows ) and sumptuously stylized period romances ( In the Mood for Love , Bright Star , The Deep Blue Sea ) to tender evocations of queer yearning ( My Own Private Idaho , God’s Own Country ) and unpredictable tales of cosmic connection ( Sleepless in Seattle , Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time ), these films overflow with a bittersweet pang that is familiar to anyone who has experienced the peculiar pleasure-pain of all-consuming desire. Programmed by Hillary Weston
