Current Screenings

JUNE 1997
DIR. PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON 136 MIN

Boogie Nights

★★★★★

A sprawling, filthy, glorious epic about the end of an era. Anderson shoots the porn industry with the same reverence Scorsese once gave the mafia. A new American masterpiece.

DIR. DAVID LYNCH 134 MIN

Lost Highway

★★★★☆

Lynch continues his descent into pure nightmare logic. The first half is perfect dread. The second half dares you to keep up. Most audiences won’t.

DIR. WONG KAR-WAI 98 MIN

Happy Together

★★★★★

Two men, one room, endless cigarettes. Wong turns heartbreak into the most beautiful thing you’ll see all year. The color alone will ruin other films for you.
