Do It Again!

If at first you succeed, try, try again—such, at least, is the logic behind the self-remade film: those rare instances in which a filmmaker, following the passage of years, or the crossing of a language barrier, or a leap from telefilm to the big screen, circles back to pay themselves the sincerest form of flattery. In the firm belief that anything that was good the first time will be just as good (or better) on the second go-round, we’re bringing together twinned works by Yasujiro Ozu, Howard Hawks, Alan Clarke, Michaels Mann and Haneke, and many more, in a series that shows just how nice twice can be.
