Our universal love of all things YORGOS LANTHIMOS is well established at this point so it should be a given that we recommend his newest head twist BUGONIA that feels like an of the moment paranoia-2025-freak-out to match ONE BATTLE... and earlier EDDINGTON. To crank up the insanity YORGOS' surrealist dating trip THE LOBSTER plays next week as part of TXTH team player TONY's CINEMA ABSURDO ongoing series.
If you'd like to get in early on next year's Oscar buzz look no further than TRAIN DREAMS directed by Texas filmmaker CLINT BENTLEY. This past year Bentley and his filmmaking partner GREG KWEDAR collected several noms for SING SING and many of us are putting money on this one to clinch the deal. We'll be presenting this one on 35MM with a special SHORT INTRO from the director about a little of the process including a few visits upstairs!
If that all weren't enough, this week yet another glorious restoration of FELLINI's 8 1/2 screens this week. For those who have never seen this film, the question must be asked, do you even like cinema? This film is the absolute epicenter the idea of cinema is based upon- Fellini at his most potent, humourous and poetic. The film was recently re-struck in BOLONGA at RITROVATA where I was lucky enough to visit the labs a few years ago and see the process in person. They also have a rather robust film festival in the summer that Barak has been to- you can ask him for a pic when you see him next. #cinemaforever !
see ya soon
