The plot of this Raymond Chandler-esque comedy crime caper from the Coen Brothers (Joel Coen and Ethan Coen) pivots around a case of mistaken identity complicated by extortion, double-crosses, deception, embezzlement, sex, pot (lots of it), and gallons of White Russians (made with fresh cream, please).

“How did they make a movie out of Lolita? teased the print ads of this Stanley Kubrick production. The answer: by adding three years to the title character's age. The original Vladimir Nabokov novel caused no end of scandal by detailing the romance between a middle-aged intellectual and a 12-year-old nymphet.

"A kind of cross between Richard Linklater’s Boyhood and Wild Kingdom, Mia and the White Lion is a coming-of-age story with big cats that was filmed over multiple years, allowing the child actors (and the starring lion) to age before us on screen while forming genuine physical and emotional bonds uniquely leveraged by the filmmakers." - Original Cin

“Shot over the course of three years, Mia and the White Lion centers on a willful young girl named Mia whose family decides to leave London to manage a lion farm in South Africa.

No screenings currently scheduled.

"To make a movie so bad it's good you need vision, drive, luck and obsessive vanity. Fortuitously Tommy Wiseau appears to possess all of these qualities, combined with a total lack of acting talent." - The Guardian

Celebrate 20 years of The Room! 

“Tommy Wiseau’s The Room may be the first true successor to the Rocky Horror throne.  Wiseau's Johnny is the noblest of boyfriends and most capable of lovers. But none of that satisfies his fiancée Lisa, a wicked Jezebel whose boredom with Johnny manifests in a brazen affair with his best friend.
