Manhunter: The Final Cut

This new 4k restoration, featuring bonus footage, celebrates the 40th anniversary of Michael Mann’s hypnotic and quintessentially ’80s crime thriller. Based on Thomas Harris’s novel Red Dragon, MANHUNTER stars a truly chilling Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecktor and follows retired FBI profiler Will Graham as he is drawn back into the hunt for a serial killer targeting families. Featuring striking cinematography, an unforgettable electronic score, and a top-notch ensemble cast, this stylish and haunting classic is not to be missed on the big screen. Also starring William Petersen, Tom Noonan, Dennis Farina, Kim Greist, and Joan Allen.

Programmer’s Note: With only his third feature film, Michael Mann established himself as a leading voice in the crime-thriller genre with a sleek neo-noir that eschews the era’s typical tropes for a psychologically rich and visually sophisticated approach. Exploring identity, empathy, alienation, and the cost of understanding a killer, MANHUNTER rises above the conventional crime thriller. Featuring Brian Cox’s memorable first on-screen portrayal of Hannibal Lecktor, alongside captivating performances from William Petersen and Tom Noonan, the film has evolved from an underseen cult classic into a widely celebrated work. - Brendan Joyce, Co-Director of Programming
