As we head into the Spring, the Quad invites you to come swoon, sigh and cry with us. We proudly present four motion picture melodramas that will unabashedly make you feel every bit of emotion and unrelenting pathos.

From the apex of the genre during Hollywood’s golden age (A Place in the Sun and Written on the Wind) to transgressive tributes from master European auteurs (Ali: Fear Eats the Soul and All About my Mother). These films aren’t just proud weepies, they also feature subversive criticisms of conformity and bourgeois hypocrisy and pay tribute to everlasting love and chosen families.

So please join us this March as we bask in the glow of forbidden romance and family drama. Don’t forget your handkerchiefs.
