“Thank the cinema gods, Mike Leigh is back!” —@vulture
Now playing HARD TRUTHS — from legendary filmmaker Mike Leigh — a fierce, compassionate, and often darkly humorous study of family and the thorny ties that bind us. Reunited with Leigh for the first time since multiple Oscar-nominated SECRETS & LIES*, the astonishing Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a woman wracked by fear, tormented by afflictions, and prone to raging tirades against her husband, son, and anyone who looks her way. (Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/HARD-TRUTHS)
*SECRETS & LIES screens Tue, Feb 4 at 8pm — a Belcourt #StaffPick from Allison.

“Some filmmakers make movies that feel like you could use them to reconstitute cinema if the art form ever vanished. Mike Leigh makes movies that feel like you could use them to reconstitute humanity if we ever vanished.” —Bilge Ebiri, Vulture
Legendary filmmaker Mike Leigh returns to the contemporary world with HARD TRUTHS opening this Fri, Jan 24 — a fierce, compassionate, and often darkly humorous study of family and the thorny ties that bind us. Reunited with Leigh for the first time since multiple Oscar-nominated SECRETS & LIES*, the astonishing Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a woman wracked by fear, tormented by afflictions, and prone to raging tirades against her husband, son, and anyone who looks her way. This expansive film from a master dramatist takes us into the intensities of kinship, duty, and the most enduring of human mysteries: that even through lifetimes of hurt and hardship, we still find ways to love those we call family.

Gothic winter continues with THE COUNT OF MONTE-CRISTO opening at the Belcourt next Friday, January 3rd.
“Everything about this robust and very enjoyable retelling of the Alexandre Dumas classic is epic in scale: from the lavish sets and the orchestral score to the bold performances and the hefty running time. But it is an epic approach that is well-earned...This is a devilishly handsome old-school tale of treachery and intrigue that zips through its nearly three hours in a blur of swordplay, glorious costumes and prosthetic rubber facial disguises.” –Wendy Ide, Screen Daily
A merry little makeover 🤭🎄

In conjunction with the new epic THE BRUTALIST, the Belcourt presents a seminar spotlighting Brutalist buildings around Nashville — on Sat, Feb 1 from 10:30-11:30am!
Led by architect @Kem Hinton , this one-hour presentation will provide background on the divisive, frequently misunderstood architectural movement and feature slides from notable Brutalist buildings you might drive past every day. You’ll leave the seminar with locations for your own architecture tour and a new appreciation of the minimalist architectural style.
Tickets here > bit.ly/Seminar-Nashville-Brutalist-Architecture
