Recently heartbroken\, Simon travels to Paris to clear his head. After several days of wandering aimlessly\, Simon finds himself drawn into a sex parlor and has a sexual encounter with an exotic prostitute\, Victoria (Mati Diop). The chemistry builds between the two until they find themselves in a serious relationship\, one that leads to blackmail\, betrayal and the ultimate revelation of Simon'\;s true nature.\n“Like the simmering thriller MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE (whose director Sean Durkin co-produced this film)\, SIMON KILLER is a sensual experience that asks the audience to question what it sees and hears.” —Noel Murray\, Onion AV Club [http\://www.avclub.com/articles/simon-killer\,96043/]“As a portrait of alienation and dislocation—its protagonist a free man in Paris\, but far from unfettered and alive—the film is frequently masterful\, suggesting the turbulent inner state of an American sociopath who believes himself to be a good guy.” —Scott Foundas\, NPR [http\://www.npr.org/2013/04/04/175953142/simon-killer-an-american-psycho-in-paris?ft=1&f=1045] URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.ifcfilms.com/films/simon-killer LOCATION:Wed-Sat\, May 22-25 CATEGORIES:films,new-releases CLASS:PUBLIC SEQUENCE:3 DTSTAMP:20130521T043308 CREATED;TZID=US-Central:20130416T120723 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Central:20130520T144052 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130522 RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20130525 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:http://www.sitemason.com/element/844hnko/id/606857 SUMMARY:CLUELESS DESCRIPTION: Jane Austen might never have imagined that her 1816 novel Emma could be turned into a fresh and satirical look at ultra-rich teenagers in a Beverly Hills high school. Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and Dionne (Stacey Dash)\, both named after "great singers of the past that now do infomercials\," are pampered upper-class girls who care less about getting good grades than wearing the right clothes and being as popular as possible. But Cher\, who lives with her tough yet warm-hearted lawyer dad (Dan Hedaya) and hunky\, sensitive stepbrother (Paul Rudd)\, also has an innate urge to help those less fortunate -- like the two introverted teachers she brings together ("negotiating" herself improved grades in the process) and new friend Tai (Brittany Murphy)\, who starts out a geek and ends up a Cher prodigy. Cher also possesses her own sensitive side\, and she is looking for the perfect boyfriend\, whom she ends up finding where she least expected.\n"A fresh\, disarmingly bright and at times explosively funny comedy well worth a trip to the mall..." - Brian Lowry\, Variety"...totally rewatchable.

Gilles\, a high school student in Paris\, is swept up in the political fever of the time. Yet his real dream is to paint and make films\, something that his friends and even his girlfriend cannot understand. For them\, politics is everything\, the political struggle all consuming. But Gilles gradually becomes more comfortable with his life choices\, and learns to feel at ease in this new society. Smart\, sensitive and sophisticated\, the film is a gorgeous yet clear-eyed love letter to youth and its invaluable potential.\n“EXQUISITE. DEEPLY ABSORBING.

In the recesses of studio lots and mastering suites of well-known repertory companies exist ongoing and far more noble efforts to prepare the celluloid of cinema history for its digital future. The work to present highly detailed digital scans and repairs are resulting in some of the most striking cinematic experiences of our time—and breathing new life into both the warhorse epics and the less heralded gems. The Belcourt presents a sampling of such recent achievements.\n URL;VALUE=URI: LOCATION:May 31-June 23 CATEGORIES:repertory CLASS:PUBLIC SEQUENCE:7 DTSTAMP:20130521T043308 CREATED;TZID=US-Central:20130515T110506 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Central:20130517T005031 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130530 RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20130623 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:http://www.sitemason.com/element/844hnko/id/589254 SUMMARY:FRANCES HA DESCRIPTION: Showtimes will be posted on the Monday prior to opening.\n This small budget collaboration between writer/director Noah Baumbach and writer/star Greta Gerwig (in a wildly inventive comic performance) centers on Frances\, an apprentice dancer fumbling though post-college life in Brooklyn. Fast\, funny\, faultlessly flirty\, and shot in crisp black and white\, FRANCES HA perfectly captures the rhythms of an over-educated\, underemployed generation more intimate with their friends than their lovers.\n"Exhilarating\, smart and delightful. A terrific new film that'\;s incredibly rich to watch. Greta Gerwig is embraceable\, unpredictable and possessed of gifts for physical comedy.

Champion) attempt to defend a community of immigrant squatters against the vicious land hungry Wyoming Cattleman’s Association. The resulting film is a breathtakingly photographed epic with a cast of thousands and phenomenal performances throughout. The story of HEAVEN’S GATE’s long and expensive production has its own chapter in Hollywood studio history\, but the film remains one of the art form'\;s most ambitious and startlingly cinematic experiences. Presented here in its 216-minute director'\;s cut and beautifully restored under the direct supervision of Cimino himself.\n"Finally\, the winds of change have begun to blow favorably upon HEAVEN’S GATE.

Don Bluth served as animation director on this classic musical mash up of live action and animation\, his final project for Disney.\nFIVE CLASSICS FROM DON BLUTH\: This month\, the Belcourt presents five of director Don Bluth’s most adored children’s films from the 80s and 90s—a collection that will be sweet nostalgia for some\, and delightful discoveries for a new generation. Bluth’s hand-drawn 2D animation is among the most timeless and impressive to ever hit the big screen. After working for many years as an animator at Walt Disney Studios\, Bluth set out to establish his own studio. Aiming to preserve the animation style of Disney'\;s heyday while telling rich\, compassionate stories\, Bluth'\;s films are overflowing with humanism and a truly unique worldview.

The "group" started as an informal skiffle band\, eventually maturing into an R&B act called the Thamesmen (their hit was "Gimme Some Money"). After going through a psychedelic period with "Listen to the Flower People\," the band mutated into Spinal Tap\, a hard rock outfit responsible for such albums as "Intravenous DeMilo\," "The Sun Never Sweats\," and "Bent for the Rent." This Is Spinal Tap finds them in the midst of their first American tour in years as they support their new LP Smell the Glove\, with filmmaker Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner)\, who specializes in TV commercials\, on hand to document the occasion. Just about anything that can go wrong does\: shows get canceled\, stage props go wrong\, wireless guitar pickups start broadcasting air-traffic reports\, no one shows up for in-store appearances\, David'\;s girlfriend tries to take over the band\, they wind up billed second to a puppet show at an amusement park\, and the group teeters on the verge of breakup. After the film'\;s initial release\, McKean\, Guest\, and Shearer did a short club tour as Spinal Tap\; the "band" reunited in 1992 for a new album\, Break Like the Wind\, followed by a full-fledged tour and TV special\, The Return of Spinal Tap. ~ Mark Deming\, Rovi\n"One of the funniest movies ever made." —Roger Ebert\, Chicago Sun-Times"Reiner'\;s brilliantly inventive script and smart visuals avoid all the obvious pitfalls\, making this one of the funniest ever films about the music business." —Geoff Andrew\, Time Out URL;VALUE=URI: LOCATION:Fri-Sat\, Jun 7-8 at Midnight CATEGORIES:films,midnight-movies,repertory CLASS:PUBLIC SEQUENCE:1 DTSTAMP:20130521T043308 CREATED;TZID=US-Central:20130513T132545 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Central:20130513T132548 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130607 RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20130608 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:http://www.sitemason.com/element/844hnko/id/627862 SUMMARY:STORIES WE TELL DESCRIPTION: Showtimes will be posted on the Monday prior to opening.\n In her inspired\, genre-twisting and deeply personal maiden voyage into documentary\, Oscar-nominated writer/director Sarah Polley (AWAY FROM HER) investigates the secrets kept within a family of storytellers—her own family. She playfully interviews and interrogates her “cast of characters\,” eliciting refreshingly candid (and mostly contradictory) answers to the same questions. Her characters relate their versions of the family mythology\, and present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of their mother\, who departed too soon and left a trail of unanswered questions. Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family\: always complicated\, warmly messy and fiercely loving. STORIES WE TELL is a deeply personal film about how our narratives shape and define us as individuals and families\, all interconnecting to paint a profound\, funny and poignant picture of the larger human story.\n“STORIES WE TELL is two or maybe three dangerous kinds of movies all at the same time\, and handled so brilliantly that the result is a transformative\, unforgettable work of art.” – Andrew O’Hehir\, Salon.com [http\://www.salon.com/2013/05/09/pick_of_the_week_sarah_polleys_family_secrets/?utm_source=feedly]Critics’ Pick\: “STORIES WE TELL has a number of transparent virtues\, including its humor and formal design\, although its most admirable quality is the deep sense of personal ethics that frames Ms. Polley’s filmmaking choices.” – Manohla Dargis\, New Times [http\://movies.nytimes.com/2013/05/10/movies/stories-we-tell-written-and-directed-by-sarah-polley.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&utm_source=feedly&_r=0] URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.storieswetellmovie.com/ LOCATION:Opens Fri\, June 7 CATEGORIES:films,new-releases CLASS:PUBLIC SEQUENCE:3 DTSTAMP:20130521T043308 CREATED;TZID=US-Central:20130514T111353 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Central:20130515T173046 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130607 RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20130620 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:http://www.sitemason.com/element/844hnko/id/626654 SUMMARY:Second Saturday Outdoor Cinema DESCRIPTION:\n It’s that time of year again.

Shepherding his stars through the African locations (beautifully shot by Technicolor expert Jack Cardiff)\, Huston helped them craft legendary performances that perfectly capture the way the journey transforms both participants. When Hepburn initially played her role too seriously\, Huston suggested she mimic Eleanor Roosevelt'\;s "society smile\," and the performance took off. Despite the difficult conditions on location\, Bogart turned in a career-capping performance that finally brought him the Best Actor Oscar. (Synopsis excerpted from TCM Festival)\n“The 1951 classic has never looked better. A full digital restoration results in golden hues and crisp edges.

More than just an anatomy of a relationship\, Rossellini’s masterpiece is a heartrending work of emotional transcendence and profound spirituality. Considered an ancestor of the existential works of Michelangelo Antonioni\, hailed as a groundbreaking work of modernism by the critics of Cahiers du cinema\, and named by Martin Scorsese as one of his favorite films\, JOURNEY TO ITALY is a breathtaking landmark. Janus Films is proud to present a new\, definitive restoration of the essential English-language version of the film\, featuring Bergman and Sanders voicing their own dubbed dialogue.\n"Unnervingly contemporary … In its time\, this film represented the arrival of something new\, and even now it can feel like a bulletin from the future." —A.O.

It is in effect\, the film that inspired the French New Wave.” —Richard Brody\, The New Yorker [http\://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/movies/2012/01/dvd-of-the-week-voyage-to-italy.html] URL;VALUE=URI:http://janusfilms.com/journey/ LOCATION:Sat-Sun\, June 15-16 CATEGORIES:films,repertory CLASS:PUBLIC SEQUENCE:5 DTSTAMP:20130521T043308 CREATED;TZID=US-Central:20130514T122506 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Central:20130515T180636 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130615 RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20130616 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:http://www.sitemason.com/element/844hnko/id/628853 SUMMARY:AN AMERICAN TAIL DESCRIPTION: While emigrating to the United States\, a young Russian mouse is separated from his family and must venture into the New World in search of them.

Elizabethan theatre may seem a peculiar choice for the genre revisionist\, but plenty of elements in Shakespeare'\;s classic clearly fall within Whedon'\;s oeuvre (inspired repartee being only the most obvious). Shot in just 12 days in Whedon'\;s own Santa Monica home\, the film is a devilishly sharp celebration of banter and flirtation\, unruly plots and unlikely romance\, a timeless comedy brought deftly to life by its cast of trained Shakespeareans and notable members of Whedon'\;s unofficial stock company. Whedon calls Shakespeare'\;s play "a deconstruction of the idea of love"—but you could also just call it a good time and be done with it.\n“This is the funniest Shakespeare film I call recall seeing… With smart phones and pushups\, this may not be a "Much Ado'\;'\; for purists\, but it will be enjoyed by many who wouldn'\;t normally dream of watching a Shakespeare adaptation.” —Lou Lumenick\, New York Post [http\://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/movies/toronto_much_ado_about_nothing_kTk13M77hRZ3XwpTdykc7M#axzz2THekmyay] URL;VALUE=URI:http://muchadomovie.com/#home LOCATION:Opens Fri\, June 21 CATEGORIES:films,new-releases CLASS:PUBLIC SEQUENCE:3 DTSTAMP:20130521T043308 CREATED;TZID=US-Central:20130514T112916 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Central:20130515T140940 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130621 RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20130704 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:http://www.sitemason.com/element/844hnko/id/627152 SUMMARY:HOUSE DESCRIPTION: How to describe Nobuhiko Obayashi’s 1977 movie HOUSE? As a psychedelic ghost tale? A stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? An episode of Scooby Doo as directed by Dario Argento? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip about a schoolgirl who travels with six classmates to her ailing aunt’s creaky country home—only to come face to face with evil spirits\, bloodthirsty pianos\, and a demonic housecat. Too absurd to be genuinely terrifying\, yet too nightmarish to be merely comic\, HOUSE seems like it was beamed to Earth from another planet. Or perhaps the mind of a child\: the director fashioned the script after the eccentric musings of his eleven-year-old daughter\, then employed all the tricks in his analog arsenal (mattes\, animation\, and collage) to make them a visually astonishing\, raucous reality. Never before released in the U.S.\, and a bona fide cult classic in the making\, HOUSE is one of the most exciting genre discoveries in years. (Synopsis from Janus Films)\n"Run. Wake your neighbor. Slap your children. Eye your cat with suspicion. Every once in a blue-screen moon\, a movie will remind even the most jaded of cult-film aficionados that\, no\, in fact\, they have not seen everything." —Jim Ridley\, The Nashville Scene"This phantasmagoric head-trip has to be one of the strangest and most surreal movies ever made." —Matt Singer\, IFC.com URL;VALUE=URI:http://janusfilms.com/house/ LOCATION:Fri-Sat\, Jun 21-22 at Midnight CATEGORIES:films,midnight-movies,repertory CLASS:PUBLIC SEQUENCE:4 DTSTAMP:20130521T043308 CREATED;TZID=US-Central:20130513T133440 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Central:20130515T180527 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130621 RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20130622 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:http://www.sitemason.com/element/844hnko/id/627926 SUMMARY:LAWRENCE OF ARABIA DESCRIPTION: Showtimes will be posted on the Monday prior to opening.\n With cutting-edge technology and expertise from Sony Colorworks\, Prasad Film and Chase Audio\, Sony’s restoration team has recently completed a three-year effort to fully restore LAWRENCE OF ARABIA in time for its 50th anniversary. A restored 65mm original negative formed the basis of a 1988 reconstruction that has since been meticulously inspected\, scanned (at 8K!)\, and repaired using new tools unavailable at the time. The result is a stunning 4K restoration of this sweeping historical epic\, one of the most beautiful films of all time.\n“No studio today would make a film like LAWRENCE OF ARABIA— 227 minutes long\, featuring a cast of hundreds riding camels through the desert\, shot on location (there were no computer graphics in 1962). Yet Sony Pictures’ new 50th anniversary restoration … seems fresh and modern\, in its political themes and its stunning visual clarity.” – Fred Kaplan\, New York Times URL;VALUE=URI: LOCATION:Fri-Thu\, June 21-27 CATEGORIES:films,repertory CLASS:PUBLIC SEQUENCE:5 DTSTAMP:20130521T043308 CREATED;TZID=US-Central:20130514T123558 LAST-MODIFIED;TZID=US-Central:20130515T180558 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130621 RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20130627 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:http://www.sitemason.com/element/844hnko/id/628854 SUMMARY:THE LAND BEFORE TIME DESCRIPTION: Five orphaned dinosaurs flee the devastating famine and upheaval of their world in search of the Great Valley\, a legendary land of plenty.
