Opening Friday at the Twin: Feel-good sports film, The Phantom of the Open, starring Oscar-winner, Mark Rylance!
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPEN tells the heartwarming true story of Maurice Flitcroft (Mark Rylance), a dreamer and unrelenting optimist. This humble crane operator managed to gain entry to the British Open qualifying in 1976, despite never playing a round of golf before. He shot the worst round in Open history and drew the ire of the golfing elite, but became a folk hero in the process.

Don't miss the final installment of our David Bowie STARMAN series!
"In this captivating World War II drama from Nagisa Oshima, David Bowie regally embodies Celliers, a British officer interned by the Japanese as a POW. Rock star Ryuichi Sakamoto (who also composed this film’s hypnotic score) plays the camp commander, obsessed with the mysterious blond major, while Tom Conti is the British lieutenant colonel Lawrence, who tries to bridge the emotional and language divides between captor and prisoner. Also featuring actor-director Takeshi Kitano in his first dramatic role, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence is a multilayered, brutal, at times erotic tale of culture clash, and one of Oshima’s greatest successes." - Janus
See Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence June 25 & 28 only! [6]
See Charlie Chaplin's first 'true sound' film, THE GREAT DICTATOR on the big screen!
"In his controversial masterpiece The Great Dictator, Charlie Chaplin offers both a cutting caricature of Adolf Hitler and a sly tweaking of his own comic persona. Chaplin, in his first pure talkie, brings his sublime physicality to two roles: the cruel yet clownish 'Tomainian' dictator and the kindly Jewish barber who is mistaken for him. The Great Dictator, boldly going after the fascist leader before the U.S.’s official entry into WW II, is an audacious amalgam of politics and slapstick that culminates in Chaplin’s famously impassioned speech." - Janus
June 26 & 28. Two matinees at the Twin! [7]
