“MAESTRO is a treat for all of your senses. There is never a shot wasted for your eyes or ears… [Bradley] Cooper certainly does not spare his performance to focus on the direction… Carey Mulligan gives one of the best performances of the year as Felicia Montealegre.” —#EmmaKiely @Collider

Bradley Cooper’s MAESTRO opens Fri, Dec 8 at the Belcourt. And the Sun, Dec 10, 7:10pm screening will be introduced from Dr. Gary Nash, conductor for the @FiskUniversity Jazz Ensemble, in partnership with the @nashville_jewish_film_festival. All tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/Belcourt-MAESTRO.

Screening Tue, Nov 28 at 7pm + Sat-Sun, Dec 2-3 at 3:15pm, famed Mexican director Emilio Fernández’s VICTIMS OF SIN — fully restored in 4K from the original 35mm nitrate camera negative, bringing this 1951 classic back to the screen with a clarity and depth not seen since its original release. (Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/VICTIMS-OF-SIN) #RestorationRoundup

Rarely seen in the U.S. and long due for rediscovery, VICTIMS OF SIN’s unique blend of film noir, melodrama and musical is infused with impassioned songs and performances by acting-dancing sensation Ninón Sevilla, an icon of Mexican cinema and a purveyor of African, Caribbean and Cuban dance styles.

“A tumultuous product of Mexican cinema’s Golden Age, the movie is a perfect storm, the confluence of three huge talents: It was directed and cowritten by the nation’s most macho filmmaker, given to boasting ‘There is only one Mexico, the one I invented’; it was shot by Mexico’s greatest cinematographer, Gabriel Figueroa (an even tougher Communist than his mentor Sergei Eisenstein); and it stars filmdom’s ultimate rumbera, a thirty-year-old bolt of lightning, the Havana-born, sensationally uninhibited dancer Ninón Sevilla.” —J. Hoberman, Artforum

For #MusicCityMondays this Nov 27, EVER DEADLY — at 3:30pm, 8pm + 10pm — a portrait of Inuk throat singer and ecstatic avant-garde artist @tanyatagaq, one of the most innovative musical performers of our time.

Hers is a voice that, according to the @nytimes, “demands full attention, whether she’s whispering in her softest register or howling at the sky.” EVER DEADLY weaves together intimate concert footage of Tagaq alongside moving personal reflections, stunning sequences filmed in Nunavut, and hand-drawn animation by Inuk artist Shuvinai Ashoona to seamlessly bridge history, landscapes, stories and songs with pain, anger and triumph.

Nicolas Cage stars in Kristoffer Borgli’s DREAM SCENARIO now at the Belcourt (tickets at link in bio, or bit.lyDREAM-SCENARIO).

“Nicolas Cage goes delightfully, derangedly meta in DREAM SCENARIO, a smart, dizzyingly entertaining horror-comedy that morphs into scathing social satire… A showcase for Cage to prove once again why he’s a national treasure — never more so than when he’s in bemused normie mode.” —Ann Hornaday @washingtonpost

“[Todd] Haynes has done something spellbinding here: heady, grown-up and committed to a refreshing dose of moral ambiguity… You’ll cherish every bite of this complex layer cake that will reveal its kaleidoscopic colors as soon as you cut it open.” —Tomris Laffly @thewrap

Now playing… From director #Todd Haynes (CAROL, FAR FROM HEAVEN, I’M NOT THERE) and first-time screenwriter Samy Burch, MAY DECEMBER starring Juliette Moore, Natalie Portman and Charles Melton. (Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/MAY-DEC)

This Fri, Nov 17 thru next Wed, Nov 22… In commemoration of the centenary of the “father of African cinema,” Senegalese novelist-turned-filmmaker Ousmane Sembène, both a sharp critic of modern Africa and passionate advocate for its autonomy — whose filmography spans 40 years — we offer new restorations of three revolutionary films from the 1970s. And each screens 2x. (Tickets at bit.ly/Sembène-100 — or link in bio.)

Savvy Belcourt patrons may recall opportunities to see Sembène’s best known film BLACK GIRL (1966), a recent restoration of MANDABI (1968), or even his final film MOOLAADÉ during its theatrical release in 2005. While no less essential and every bit as crucial, the films presented over these six days — EMITAÏ (1971), XALA (1975), and CEDDO (1977) — have been much harder to access.
