Inglourious Basterds begins in German-occupied France, where Shoshanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema. Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as "The Basterds," Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own...

F.W. Murnau's FAUST with LIVE SCORE!
|
 ONE NIGHT ONLY!
See F.W. Murnau's 1926 German silent classic FAUST on the big screen, with a new new original score written by Cabeza de Vaca Arkestra - and performed LIVE at the theatre!
Here's what Sean Axmaker of Turner Classic Movies had to say about Murnau's masterpiece:
F.W. Murnau's last German production before leaving for Hollywood is a
visually dazzling take on the Faust myth. Pushing the resources of the
grand old German studio UFA to the limits, Murnau creates an epic
vision of good versus evil as devil Emil Jannings tempts an idealistic
aging scholar with youth, power, and romance. The handsome but wan
Swedish actor Gosta Ekman plays the made-over Faust as a perfectly
shallow scoundrel drunk with youth, and the lovely Camilla Horn (in a
part written for Lillian Gish) is the young virgin courted, then cast
aside, by Faust. The drama falters in the middle with a tedious
courtship and bizarre comic interludes, but the delirious images of the
opening (Jannings enveloping a mountain town in his dark cloak of evil)
and the high melodrama of the climax triumphs
over such shortcomings. The sheer scale of Murnau's epic and the
magnificent play of light, shadow, and mist on his exquisitely designed
sets makes this one of the most cinematically ambitious, visually
breathtaking, and beautiful classics of the silent era.

Michael Moore's CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY opens October 2nd!
|
|
Academy Award winner director MICHAEL MOORE - director of the acclaimed documentaries Bowling for Columbine, Sicko, and Fahrenheit 911 - is back with another eye-opening examination of corporate America!
On the 20-year anniversary of his groundbreaking masterpiece Roger
& Me, Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story comes home to the
issue he's been examining throughout his career: the disastrous impact
of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans (and by
default, the rest of the world). But this time the culprit is much
bigger than General Motors, and the crime scene far wider than Flint,
Michigan. From Middle America, to the halls of power in Washington, to
the global financial epicenter in Manhattan, Michael Moore will once
again take film goers into uncharted territory. With both humor and
outrage, Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story explores a taboo
question: What is the price that America pays for its love of
capitalism? Years ago, that love seemed so innocent. Today, however,
the American dream is looking more like a nightmare as families pay the
price with their jobs, their homes and their savings. Moore takes us
into the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside
down; and he goes looking for explanations in Washington, DC and
elsewhere. What he finds are the all-too-familiar symptoms of a love
affair gone astray: lies, abuse, betrayal...and 14,000 jobs being lost
every day. Capitalism: A Love Story is both a culmination of Moore's
previous works and a look into what a more hopeful future could look
like. It is Michael Moore's ultimate quest to answer the question he's
posed throughout his illustrious filmmaking career: Who are we and why
do we behave the way that we do?
Save the date - Capitalism: A Love Story opens at The Art on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2! Tickets on sale soon!
