With The Zone of Interest still playing we don't want to miss the opportunity to celebrate its visionary director, Jonathan Glazer. Each day over Easter Weekend we'll be screening one of his four features starting with Under the Skin on Good Friday. There has never been a better time to give thanks and praise to this cinematic force of nature and we might even throw in some of his music videos before the screenings.
New Season: ON THE RUN
There's nothing the movies like more than a fugitive. Whether it is running from the law, a dangerous ex, poor choices or an evil psychopath, there's drama to be found in all of these situations.
