“…Miraculous in its sensitivity, asking questions about issues of ethics, of choice, of money, and murder, and family, and how to find love in all this sorry mess…. It’s one of the master’s most transparent and — when it comes to confrontations about what parents, and specifically women, can or should do for themselves and for the babies they are forever bound to — brave films of his career.” —@ellakemp @indiewire

This Sat-Sun, Jan 28-29 at 12:30pm (in #35mm), Akira Kurosawa’s 1952 IKIRU, screening as a supplement to LIVING (which opens Fri, Jan 27) with Bill Nighly — which is an exquisitely realized remake of IKIRU, directed by Oliver Hermanus, with an adapted screenplay by Nobel and Booker Prize–winning author Kazuo Ishiguro. (Nighly received an Oscar nomination for his LIVING performance, as did Ishiguro for his adaptation.)
Considered by some to be Kurosawa’s greatest achievement, IKIRU presents the director at his most compassionate — affirming life through an exploration of a man’s death. (Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/Belcourt-IKIRU)

Heads up . . . in addition to our January Giallo midnights this weekend, we’re also screening the newly-released composer’s cut of Italian horror maestro Lucio Fulci’s THE BEYOND next Monday as part of our Music City Mondays program. Experience the new score from @fabiofrizzi for the gory gothic New Orleans-set second installment in Fulci’s Gates of Hell trilogy on the @belcourttheatre big screen!
Don't miss the Belcourt's annual signature fundraiser A Red Carpet Evening on Sunday, March 12 — and tickets are now on sale (see link in bio, or bit.ly/RCE-2023 <http://bit.ly/RCE-2023>). And remember, your ticket purchase directly supports the Belcourt!
Join us on Hollywood's biggest night to watch the awards ceremony on the Belcourt's big screens. Walk the red carpet, enjoy a cocktail buffet, full bar, silent auction, a glamorous VIP backstage lounge—and plenty of movie buzz! (Please note this is a 21+ event.)
“No movie that I’ve seen this year has moved me as deeply, made me feel as optimistic about cinema or engaged me with such intellectual vigor as EO, whose octogenarian genius auteur and all the donkeys who play EO — Hola, Tako, Marietta, Ettore, Rocco and Mela — deserve all the love and the carrots, too.” —@manohladargis @nytimes
Opening this Fri, Jan 20, ##JerzySkolimowski’s EO — shot in Poland and Italy, whose hero is a donkey, that is forced to leave the circus. (Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/Belcourt-EO)

And at 8pm screening, an intro and trivia from Country Music Hall of Fame senior writer-editor Michael McCall and director of public programs Abi Tapia!
“SKINAMARINK is like spooky church. It is solemn, isolating, structured and constantly unfolding on the precipice of a chasm that stretches so far that you lose all sense of time and self. This is a psychological minefield, made with an incredible amount of care.” —Jason Shawhan @nashvillescene
SKINAMARINK opens this Fri, Jan 13 at the Belcourt, and Jason Shawhan introduces Fri’s 9:15pm screening (tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/SKINAMARINK).

“CORSAGE is the Austrian writer-director Marie Kreutzer’s bold, visually striking and ingeniously anachronistic portrait of an empress in complicated rebellion…. [Vicky] Krieps is wonderful to watch in motion, whether she’s in the saddle, crossing swords or just leaving a dinner. But she’s a virtuoso of stillness, and at times she brings to mind old Hollywood sphinxes like Garbo and Dietrich….” —@manohladargis @nytimes
CORSAGE opens this Fri, Jan 13 at the Belcourt (tickets at link in bio, or at bit.ly/Belcourt-CORSAGE).

“WOMEN TALKING is not melodramatic or desperate or exploitative. It is astute and urgent and may just help those previously unable to find words or even coherent feelings for their own traumatic experience (s.
