The Museum of Modern Art Presents Carte Blanche: Guillermo Del Toro

The Museum of Modern Art will be showing the Film Series Carte Blanche: Guillermo Del Toro at The Museum of Modern Art from March 16 through March 26.

A celebrated auteur in his own right, Guillermo del Toro’s passion for the work of the film medium’s masters is seemingly boundless, unconstrained by period, genre, nationality, reputation, or obscurity. Missionary in his zeal and eclectic in his tastes, he has put together a carte blanche selection horror (Haxan), fantasy (The Arcane Sorcerer), screwball comedy (Easy Living), noir (Born to Kill), thrillers (The Wrong Man), drama (Uncle Silas), and animation (The Tell-Tale Heart, The Red Turtle). Made between 1922 and 2016, and representing Sweden, Mexico, Japan, Italy, Britain, and America, Del Toro’s selections—by such luminaries as Pupi Avati, Luis Buñuel, Benjamin Christensen, Michael Dudok de Wit, Charles Frank, Mitchell Leisen, Ted Parmelee, Orson Welles, and Robert Wise—represent a unique opportunity to experience many of the films that shaped him as a filmmaker as they were meant to be seen—on the big screen. Presented in conjunction with Guillermo del Toro: Crafting Pinocchio.
