ABOUT THE FILMS: THE RULING CLASS, 1972, Dir. Peter Medak, 154 Min, AGFA, UK Peter O’Toole gives a tour-de-force performance as a twisted aristocrat “cured” of believing he’s God — only to become Jack the Ripper incarnate. Based on Peter Barnes’s irreverent play, this comic indictment of Britain’s class system peeks behind the closed doors of English high society. Insanity, sadistic sarcasm, and black comedy — with just a touch of the Hollywood musical — are all featured in this beloved cult classic directed by Peter Medak. FORMAT: DCP THE ODD JOB, 1978, Dir. Peter Medak, 87 Min, AGFA, UK Too timid to kill himself, a despondent man hires a professional assassin to do the job for him. Restoration by Severin Films FORMAT: DCP
