STARS AT NOON OCT 21 - 26
[2]
Directed by Claire Denis (High Life), “Stars at Noon” shared the Grand Prix at Cannes. A young American journalist stranded in present-day Nicaragua (Margaret Qualley) falls for an enigmatic Englishman (Joe Alwyn) who seems like her best chance of escape. She soon realizes, though, that he may be in even greater danger than she is.
"Few filmmakers can evoke, as fully as Claire Denis does, the intoxication and menace of feeling cast adrift in a world where you don’t belong." - L.A. Times
"Deeply watchable, laden with sex and intimacy in a way that doesn’t apologize for itself, and provides an alternate gloss on key themes of power, bodies, and postcolonial afterlives." - The Film Stage
The World of Wong Kar-Wai continues with CHUNGKING EXPRESS in a new 4K re-master!

"The masterful Wong Kar-wai crafts this exquisitely shot film - two films in one, really - into a meditation on love. Along the way, he uses music as only he can..." - Film Companion

"One of Weaver's best performances." - Variety
"Sigourney Weaver deserves awards attention for turning what could have been a cliched dramedy about a real-estate agent, who’s a functioning alcoholic, into something funny, touching and vital. And cheers to Kevin Kline as the dazed dude who loves her." - Peter Travers, ABC News
