The 27th IFFK will celebrate the legendary American screenwriter-director Paul Schrader’s golden jubilee year in cinema. Schrader’s three directorial films;  ‘Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters’, ‘First Reformed’ and ‘Master Gardener’ will be featured in the retrospective  section.

Besides, Martin Scorsese’s ‘Taxi Driver’ and ‘The Last Temptation of Christ’, both written by Schrader, will also be screened in the section.

Scorsese’s cinematic masterpiece ‘Taxi Driver’, written by Schrader, is a deeply disturbing look at the dark underbelly of New York city.  ‘Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters’ is based on the life and work of Japanese author-actor-director Yukio Mishima. The film interweaves episodes from Mishima’s life with dramatizations of segments from his books.

Schrader’s classic movie ‘First Reformed’, which explores a rainbow mix of religious and spiritual themes, and his latest film ‘Master Gardener’ will also be featured at IFFK.
