 OSCAR-NOMINATED FOR BEST MUSIC, BEST PRODUCTION, AND BEST COSTUME DESIGN, DAMIEN CHAZELLE'S BABYLON IS BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! 

Jan 30, Feb 2, 4 & 5 at the Original

A tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, it traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood.

"BABYLON is a profoundly humanist film, mourning the tragedies that litter Hollywood histories. But it’s also a worshipful film, one that gladly buys into the dream, the spell, the mystery of it all." - VOX


05-the-banshees-of-the-inisherin_0.jpg

Nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress... and 3 other Academy Awards!

BANSHEES OF INISHERIN - Special return engagement at the Twin!

Two lifelong friends find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship, with alarming consequences for both of them.

"Banshees’ dramatic resonance is a result of how deftly McDonagh delivers his characters’ virtues and vices. What’s hilarious and tragic is that both are so modest compared to the amount of anguish they cause." - Filmspotting

"Certainly one of Farrell’s finest performances and like the film itself, his loneliness sticks in your craw like an oft-recited Irish limerick." - San Jose Mercury News
