The cold of winter often brings a longing for warmer climes; the sting of want, a desire for easy money. In this series, we’ve brought together films that address both of these truths and offer a little vicarious sunshine—as well as vivid depictions of the lengths that some will go to avoid an honest living. A sampler of exemplary crime films where the capers are planned with the beach in easy reach, the getaways are run in flip-flops, and .38 holsters rest on top of Hawaiian print shirts, including films by Harmony Korine and Paul Thomas Anderson, and the North American premiere of Kathryn Bigelow’s cult classic Point Break, newly restored in 4K.
