Film Society of Lincoln Center to Present Let There Be Light: The Films of John Huston

The Film Society of Lincoln Center will present Let There Be Light: The Films of John Huston, December 19 - January 11, a retrospective spanning five decades of the his iconic works, mostly as director, but also as screenwriter and actor. Huston was one of the greatest filmmakers of Hollywood's golden age: an artist of great toughness, conviction, and eloquence; a master storyteller; a hardened cynic; a reluctant romantic; a stellar director of actors, and a brilliant actor himself. Discover, or rediscover, some of his most popular films as well as his rarely seen works on the big screen during this three-week comprehensive retrospective. Tickets will go on sale Thursday, November 20. Visit filmlinc.com for more information.

Dennis Lim, Director of Programming for the Film Society, said: "John Huston was a titan of Hollywood's golden age, but he long outlived it. His storied career spanned multiple decades, styles, and genres, and he was also the rare artist who grew more daring with age. This retrospective allows for a full appreciation of his prodigious gifts and ambitions. There are many films here that are now popular favorites but many more that are overdue for rediscovery."

Long before striding in front of the camera to show Jack Nicholson's character in Chinatown what men at the right place and time are capable of, John Huston established himself as one of the 20th century's most accomplished film artists. With over a decade of writing credits by the time he assumed the director's chair, he would later add producing and acting to his arsenal, racking up 15 Oscar nominations. His father, Walter, and daughter Anjelica both earned statuettes under his baton as director, making for one of the medium's most formidable and collaborative dynasties. They are the only family to win Oscars in three successive generations.

John Huston was born in Nevada, Missouri, on August 5, 1906. His father, Walter, was a Canadian stage star who appeared in early talkies, multiple Broadway productions, and many classic Hollywood films. John grew up around the theater and dropped out of school as a teen to pursue a boxing career, but after breaking his nose, left the ring, going on to work as a street performer and artist in London and Paris, before eventually enrolling in art school in Los Angeles to be a painter. He decided shortly thereafter to become a journalist, and then a screenwriter at Universal Studios, where he worked on Murders in the Rue Morgue and A House Divided (which starred his father).

Huston received his first Academy Award nomination for writing Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet in 1940, and in 1941 he directed his first feature, the film noir masterpiece The Maltese Falcon, quickly securing his place among Hollywood's great directors (as well as turning Humphrey Bogart into a leading man; Bogart would routinely be cast in Huston's next few films). In 1948, he won Academy Awards for writing and directing The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (which also netted his father a Best Supporting Actor Oscar), and in 1951 earned two more Oscar nominations and a Best Actor Oscar for Bogart in The African Queen.

Across his career, Huston directed over 40 films, wrote more than 20, and acted in nearly 30, including his notorious turn as villain Noah Cross in Roman Polanski's crime masterpiece, Chinatown, in 1974. He experimented with different genres and in 1982, at the age of 76, he directed his spirited first musical, Annie. His magisterial final work, The Dead (1987), starred his daughter Anjelica (two years after she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for his crime caper Prizzi's Honor).

Huston has been called "cinema's Ernest Hemingway... never afraid to tackle tough issues head on," and though he was by no means a "message man" like Stanley Kramer, a glance at his filmography reveals incisive treatments of racism, sexual identity, religion, alcoholism, psychoanalysis, and war. A renaissance man unbound to genre, Huston was also a painterly stylist attuned to the look of each scene. His films continuously circle back to questions of faith and doubt, concealment and revelation, failure and victory, empathy and the limits of consciousness. And though one of Huston's great talents was for finding robust, flexible cinematic vocabularies for literary texts, his films were consistently imbued with a wise, reflective, open-minded voice entirely his own.

In the 1980s, Vincent Canby of The New York Times applauded Huston for "the amazing endurance of his first-rate cinematic intelligence, the variety of his films and the consistency with which he has recoupled his fortunes with a good film after turning out some bad ones... It may now be time to call him a master."

Across the Pacific
John Huston, USA, 1942, 16mm, 97m

Beat the Devil
John Huston, USA, 1953, 35mm, 89m

The Red Badge of Courage
John Huston, USA, 1951, 35mm, 69m
