Calling All Cinephiles: NYC’s Weekend Movie Scene is Electric
Get ready for a cinematic adventure this weekend, New York film buffs!
From classic restorations to cult favorites, the city’s independent theaters are offering a diverse lineup just waiting to be explored.
International arthouse gem, Film Forum, is offering a double feature. "Book a seat for the gripping thriller "The Wages of Fear" in a stunning 4K restoration, and don’t miss the fantastical adventure "Labyrinth" on Sunday."
Further downtown, IFC Center is the place for late-night chills.
Go "Back to School" with a screening of "Carrie" running daily in a dazzling 4K restoration. For those seeking something even darker, classic horror flicks like "Bram Stoker’s Dracula" and the ultraviolent "Ichi the Killer," join dystopian sci-fi "Threads" and Ridley Scott’s heart-pounding "Alien" showing LATE.
The Roxy Cinema is keeping things light and fun.
On Friday, catch Bob Saget and Norm MacDonald’s beloved comedy "Dirty Work" in all its 35mm glory. Saturday sees the return of the irreverent "City Dudes Blindfolded" series, and Sunday wraps up with Adrian Lyne’s steamy thriller "Unfaithful," also on beautiful 35mm.
Couple these newcomers with ongoing exhibitions at two of the city’s finest cultural institutions.
The Museum of Modern Art celebrates the centennial of photography legend Robert Frank, while the Museum of the Moving Image is spotlighting the works of master puppeteer and filmmaker Frank Oz in its final weekend series.
Finally, don’t miss the diverse offerings at The Metrograph.
For classic movie lovers, a selection of films – "Three Extremes," "F for Fake," "Practical Magic," "Man on Wire," "A Terra-Cotta Warrior" and Ozu’s "Good Morning" – all in beautiful 35mm prints – will grace the screen. New series include "Story By Lillian Lee" and "Absconded Art."
Then, dive into curated series like "The World Is a Stage," "My Crazy Uncle (or Aunt)," "Insomnia," and "Crush the Strong, Help the Weak," for an eclectic and thought-provoking cinematic journey.
"NYC Weekend Watch is our weekly round-up of repertory offerings."
Please provide me with the text you’d like me to analyze! I need to see the text to identify the themes.
For example, you could say:
“HereS a poem:
*The sun dipped low, casting long shadows across the empty playground. A swing creaked gently in the breeze, the only sound in the stillness.*
What are some of the themes in this poem?”
Let me know what you’d like me to look at! 😊
