JASON ISBELL: RUNNING WITH OUR EYES CLOSED (with a post-screening discussion with Jason Isbell and filmmaker Sam Jones)
In his own words, renowned singer and songwriter @jasonisbell takes us on an unexpected journey through his musical evolution and creative process as he goes into the studio to record his new album “Reunions” with his band The 400 Unit. With striking candor and honesty, Isbell lays bare his difficult childhood, his struggles with addiction and relationships, funneling all his pain and private battles into his music. When the COVID-19 pandemic arrives and forces him and his family into lockdown, Isbell must confront the self-doubt and fears that isolation brings to a recovering addict and artist, even as the album releases to rave reviews.
Directed and produced by @samjonespictures (HBO’s “Tony Hawk: Until The Wheels Fall Off”) and executive produced by Emmy® winners Mark and Jay Duplass (HBO’s “The Lady and the Dale”) and The Ringer’s Bill Simmons (HBO’s “Andre The Giant,” “Showbiz Kids”).
⭐️ “Masterful… A story of natural wonder, elemental beauty, and human folly.” —LA Times
⭐️ “A film of sturdy and stunning beauty.” —Sight & Sound
⭐️ “A cinematic original.” —Variety
Opening this Fri, Mar 17, Hlynur Pálmason’s GODLAND. In the late 19th century, a Danish priest makes the perilous trek to Iceland’s southeastern coast with the intention of establishing a church, but when he arrives, the reality of being an intruder in an unforgiving land tests the arrogant man of God’s resolve.

Riseborough plays Leslie Rowland, a single mother and alcoholic who’s used up all of her lottery money and finds the chance to redeem herself when a motel owner (Marc Maron) offers her a job. “TO LESLIE recalls the grit of 1970s American indie cinema at its most indelible” writes #SheriLinden in #TheHollywoodReporter.
This weekend, we conclude Beloved: A Spotlight Series on Black Female Directors with Kasi Lemmon’s 1997 EVE’S BAYOU — screening Sat, Mar 4 at 12pm* + Sun, Mar 5 at 5:30pm — with a cast that included Jurnee Smollett, Lynn Whitfield, Samuel L. Jackson, Debbi Morgan, Meagan Good and Diahann Carroll. *After Sat’s screening, a discussion with Claudine Taaffe, Senior Lecturer and Associate Chair & Director of Undergraduate Studies, Department of African American and Diaspora Studies at @VanderbiltU.
Here’s how #RogerEbert reviewed EVE’S BAYOU in 1997:
“A film of astonishing maturity and confidence — EVE’S BAYOU, one of the very best films of the year, is the debut of its writer and director, Kasi Lemmons…. That Lemmons can make a film this good on the first try is like a rebuke to established filmmakers…. EVES BAYOU resonates in the memory. It called me back for a second and third viewing. If it is not nominated for Academy Awards, then the academy is not paying attention. For the viewer, it is a reminder that sometimes films can venture into the realms of poetry and dreams.” (Nov 7, 1997)

“TURNING RED is original, funny and tender, an affectionate reminder that adolescence is a time of life not easily tamed, and sometimes the animal inside us demands release.” —David Rooney @hollywoodreporter

“This movie was just queer joy.” - SOS’er AJ
Thank you Allison, Sheronica, and T from Belcourt Theatre for watching and discussing Too Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar with the Students of Stonewall this afternoon.
We needed a bit of queer joy today.
“Another melancholic, mature, beautifully constructed feather in the cap of [Mia] Hansen-Løve, one of the most personal (and most human) filmmakers out there.” —#CraigDLindsey @nashvillescene

Tue's screening will be followed by a discussion on "A Multisensory World: How Interactions Between 'the Senses Shape Our Perceptions of Our World," led by Vanderbilt University's Mark T. Wallace.

“A deliberately beautiful film…. But it is not a travelogue and it is not a love story. It is about how racism can prevent two people from looking each other straight in the eyes, and how they punish each other for the pain that causes them. This is one of the best films of the year.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times (1989)
At the Belcourt this Fri-Sat, Mar 24-26 + next Thu, Mar 30, Claire Denis' 1989 debut film, CHOCOLAT. #WeekendClassics
