* Introduction from Belcourt staff member Coley Hinson
"Needs to be seen on the big screen" re @totalfilm.
#StanleyKubrick's BARRY LYNDON this weekend on our big screen – and in #35mm — today (Sat) at 1:40pm, 5:30pm + Sun at 3:40pm, 7:30pm > http://bit.ly/BARRY-LYNDON
Holy moly! It’s been one whole year since we welcomed #BelcourtMidnights back w/a surreal celluloid screening of a surprise classic disasterpiece in glorious #35mm — and we’re celebrating by doing it all over again.
See you tonight (+ come early for the pre-show!)
"A masterclass in cinematography — famously, Kubrick used nothing but natural light in all but a few scenes" re @guardian.

“A THOUSAND AND ONE is a love letter to mothers, sons, daughters, the poor, displaced and the hustlers of NYC. ” —@ValerieComplex @deadline
Opening this Fri, Mar 31 at the Belcourt, A THOUSAND AND ONE is an exquisitely crafted melodrama lovingly conceived by writer/director A.V. Rockwell is an authentic chronicle of one family’s endurance in the face of Giuliani-era gentrifying New York City. The feature took this year’s Sundance Film Festival by storm and won the festival’s grand jury prize in the U.S. dramatic competition. (Tickets now on sale at link in bio, or bit.ly/A-THOUSAND-ONE) ...
At the Belcourt Mon, Mar 27 through Thu, Mar 30, #AlainGomis’ REWIND & PLAY (tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/REWIND-PLAY <http://bit.ly/REWIND-PLAY>). With a pre-recorded introduction from keyboardist Paul Horton (with Brittany Howard, Concurrence).
In December 1969, legendary pianist and composer Thelonious Monk was invited to appear on a French television program to perform and answer questions in an intimate setting. Through the examination and reconstruction of (primarily) the unused footage, this new film reveals the disconnect between Monk and his interviewer’s trivialized approach.
“This 65-minute, freighted documentary creates a portrait — or two — out of rushes and outtakes Gomis received from the National Audiovisual Institute while researching a fiction film about [Thelonoius] Monk. One is a study of an interview turned wincing for reasons of glib arrogance — racial but perhaps personal, too. The other is a more gleaming portrait of Monk at work…. REWIND & PLAY dazzles because it is and will remain a wonder to witness Monk seemingly discovering his compositions again and again, his fingers conjuring, his right foot etching rhythms.” —Lisa Kennedy @nytimes ...
“‘Nobody’s perfect’ is the last line. Wilder, Lemmon, Curtis and Monroe come pretty close.” —The Guardian
Now playing thru Mon, Mar 27, 1959’s SOME LIKE IT HOT —One of the most beloved films of all time, this sizzling masterpiece by Billy Wilder set a new standard for Hollywood comedy. After witnessing a mob hit, Chicago musicians Joe and Jerry (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, in landmark performances) skip town by donning drag and joining an all-female band en route to Miami. The charm of the group’s singer, Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe, at the height of her bombshell powers) leads them ever further into extravagant lies…. With a whip-smart script by Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond, and sparking chemistry among its finely tuned cast, SOME LIKE IT HOT is as deliriously funny and fresh today as it was when it first knocked audiences out six decades ago. (Synopsis courtesy of the Criterion Collection).
And before Sat’s 1pm screening, join us at 12pm for Nashville’s Great Pretenders: A Seminar on the History of Drag Performance in Music City — presented by Sarah Calise, public historian, librarian and founder/director of Nashville Queer History. ...

"It suggests John le Carré by way of David Lynch — a feverish and haunting but also wry and meditative rumination on power, secrecy and the color of clouds over water at sunset.” —A.O. Scott @nytimes.
#AlbertSerra’s sixth feature, PACIFICTION, this coming Fri, Mar 24 thru Thu, Mar 30 — with an introduction from film critic #JasonShawhan at Wed, Mar 29’s 7:40pm screening (tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/PACIFICTION). ...
⭐️ “[Jacquelyn] Mills contructs true art.” —POV Magazine
⭐️ “Arresting visual and aural storytelling.” —The Globe and Mail
⭐️ “Nature is embedded deep in the very form of the film.” —Film Quarterly
At the Belcourt THIS COMING Wed-Sun, Mar 22-26, Jacquelyn Mills’ documentary GEOGRAPHIES OF SOLITUDE is an immersion into the rich ecosystem of Sable Island, a remote sliver of land in the Northwest Atlantic. At Wed, Mar 22’s 8pm screening, an introduction from Jonathan Rattner, associate professor of cinema and media arts at @vanderbiltu. Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/GEOGRAPHIES).
The film follows Zoe Lucas, a naturalist and environmentalist who has lived there for over 40 years collecting, cleaning and documenting marine litter that persistently washes up on the island’s shores. Shot on 16mm and created using eco-friendly filmmaking techniques, GEOGRAPHIES OF SOLITUDE is a playful and reverent collaboration with the natural world filled with arresting images and made with an activist spirit. ...
“In prison, dinner was always a big thing…. Paulie did the prep work – he was doing a year for contempt – and he had this wonderful system for doing the garlic.”

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”). ...

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)

"Played by a mesmerizing Teyana Taylor, Inez holds you rapt throughout this sweeping New York story of love and survival, motherhood and gentrification....
