There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

“A film of visions, alternately magical, terrifying”
–Kent Jones, La Furia Umana

“Looks and sounds so good it makes your heart thump.”
London Evening Standard

Director Nicholas Ray transforms a potentially tone-deaf exposé of teenage rebellion into one of the great humanistic documents of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Three teenagers (James Dean, Sal Mineo, and Natalie Wood), all in juvenile detention for various misdeeds, are briefly drawn together as an elective family unit, but their bond is threatened by the intrusion of polite society. REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE is a moving and extraordinarily influential film that features great performances from all three leads, with Wood bearing the greatest emotional burden of the star-crossed trio. In 35mm.
