October at a Glance
Next up is a Japanese anime film, Look Back, from director Kiyotaka Oshiyama. The overly confident Fujino and the shut-in Kyomoto couldn’t be more different, but a love of drawing manga brings these two small-town girls together. Japanese with English subtitles. This film is not-rated.
“One of history’s most significant anime films” – Gizmodo
“A Celebration of all that is drawn.” – Paste
Following Look Back, prepare for Blink. When three of their four children are diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare and incurable disease that leads to severe visual impairment, the Pelletier family’s world changes forever. In the face of this life-altering news, Edith Lemay, Sébastien Pelletier and their children set out on a trip around the world to experience all its beauty while they still can. As they fill their memories with breathtaking destinations and once-in-a-lifetime encounters, the family’s love, resilience and unshakeable sense of wonder ensure that their uncertain future does not define their present. Produced by National Geographic and Walt Disney Pictures Studios.
Look for Joker: La Folie A Deux with Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga in late October. The sequel to Phoenix’s Oscar(TM) winning performance as Arthur Fleck finds him struggling with his dual identity while finding love and exploring the music and mayhem of his soul.
Also look for Saturday Night, a film about the first live performance of Lorne Michael’s “Saturday Night Live” telecast in 1978 with a bunch of unknowns and an unscripted 90 minute broadcast. What could go wrong?
Hours of Operation: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday show at 7:30 PM. Sunday Matinee at 2 PM. Our Sunday Matinee is shown with Open Captions.
