THIEF (45th Anniversary/4K Restoration) – January 17
THE KEEP (4K Restoration) – January 24
MIAMI VICE (20th Anniversary) – January 31
Michael Mann-uary is a celebration of one of cinema’s great stylists. A four-time Academy Award® nominee, Mann has crafted a meticulous filmography filled with celebrated antiheroes and paradoxical procedurals. From the neon-soaked streets of Miami Vice to the neo-noir heist thriller Thief, and the dream-like ambiance of The Keep, Mann’s films pulse with atmosphere.
An auteur whose influence continues to shape the look and feel of contemporary cinema, this retrospective honors Mann’s unmatched command of the silver screen with a trio of anniversaries and restorations.
Miami Vice:
20th Anniversary Screening!
20 years ago Michael Mann reimagined the iconic TV series he helped create and produce, trading its pastel-slick ‘80s chic for a darker vision of undercover work in the new millennium. With his signature mix of atmospheric tension and soulful character study, Detectives Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell) and Ricardo Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) are transformed into brooding modern operatives navigating a globalized criminal network.
Though the movie departs from the TV show’s tone, it honors its legacy through its focus on deep-cover identity, stylish world-building, and Mann’s continuation of themes he pioneered decades earlier.
Today, the film has found a legacy through repertory screenings and revaluation including the Miami Nice Podcast where celebrities and regular folk all discuss their love of the film with critics Katie Walsh (Tribune) and Blake Howard (One Heat Minute). Miami Vice stands as a quintessential late-period Mann work—intense, unconventional, and steeped in the atmospheric grit that made the original series a cultural phenomenon.
2006, 132 minutes, USA, Directed by Michael Mann, Rated R
“The world according to Mann is loud, dangerous, morally ambiguous, and more than a little greasy, but during the hours you spend there, there's nowhere you'd rather be.”
– Dana Stevens, SLATE
“Bearing all the Mann hallmarks, this is visually enthralling, relentlessly stylish crime drama.”
– Simon Braund, EMPIRE
“A thinking man's action flick -- a small, intense film made on a giant canvas that finds Mann experimenting with and pushing at the boundaries of mainstream filmmaking.”
– Rene Rodriguez, MIAMI HERALD
“A neo-noir: tough, quiet, moody and hard.”
– Kyle Smith, NEW YORK POST
“A crime story that sizzles with action, sex and the visceral jolt of life on the edge.”
– Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE
