Our Last Screening of the summer season!
Polanski’s haunting masterpiece lies at the intersection of the art film and the horror movie. Rosemary’s Baby is at once supremely intelligent and totally scary. Steeped in dream-like montages, colorful characters and pitch perfect paranoia, it is without a doubt one of the greatest horror films ever made. A young couple moves into a spooky building with an infamous past. Is a coven of witches after Rosemary’s unborn child, or is it madness? Mia Farrow’s performance is superb: she is at once vulnerable and resolute as she fends off a terrifying evil. Ruth Gordon won an Oscar for her role.
DJ Mahssa (Mt Analog, Finders/keepers) spins before and after the movie.
Celebrating its 30th Anniversary, the film debut of the Purple One still has the power to awe. His searing concert performances, replete with stage humping, lacy outfits and prolific guitar shredding are undeniable. His idiosyncratic music drips with both virtuosity and eroticism. The movie has a plot, too. As Prince struggles for success and the amorous attentions of the ravishing Appollonia, we get a fun glimpse into the 80s Minneapolis scene that Prince single-handedly defined… But it is the music that has made Purple Rain a powerful classic.
DJ Questlove spins records (and more) before and after the film.
“Moving, funny, sweet, eccentric — Two people who I spoke with were moved to tears. How many rock docs can you say that about?” — Richard Metzger, Dangerous Minds
Pulp, best known for their deliriously infectious anthem “Common People”, are one of the most quintessential Britpop bands. Director Florian Habicht teams up with highly charismatic Pulp frontman – Jarvis Cocker – to produce both a concert film of the band’s 2012 farewell Sheffield show, and a “family album” of hometown locals: the Common People. The show becomes an irresistible party, a celebration of hometown heroes.
Join us for this special evening with the director and Jarvis Cocker in conversation. Presented with FYF, Cinefamily, DKTR and Ace Hotel.
Coppola’s iconic portrait of youth gone wild is alternately fierce and eerily beautiful. It’s the greasers versus the socs as bravery and friendship are put to the test. When two poor greasers, Johnny and Ponyboy, are attacked, tension begins to mount between two rival gangs. The Outsiders stars the brightest stars of a generation, including Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, Diane Lane, Tom Cruise, Ralph Maccio, C Thomas Howell and Emilio Estevez. DJ Turquoise Wisdom spins records before and after the screening.
Kubrick’s extraordinary vision of a dystopic future is a demented fun house ride of a political satire. Pulsating with pop imagery, vivid colors and synth melodies it is a future of wild design and psychedelic cool. Malcolm McDowell is superb as Alex, a modern youth with a taste for violence who becomes the subject of a state experiment. A Clockwork Orange is a film only Kubrick could bring us: at once brainy, unsettling and darkly funny.
