Pre-screening happy hour
Intro by Driving for Deco co-founders Chris Arena and Anthony L’Abbate
Cecil B. DeMille made his only foray into the musical genre with this peerless pre-code sex comedy/ Art-Deco rhapsody for MGM. To win back her unfaithful husband, socialite Angela Brooks adopts the persona of “Madam Satan,” an alluring masked temptress who puts her skills to the test at an elaborate masquerade ball held aboard a zeppelin. But when the Deco dirigible is struck by lightning, love must win the day.

New Digital Restoration
One week only!
An international art-house sensation and one of the most achingly romantic films of all time, Claude Lelouch's 1966 classic won the Palme d’Or at the 1966 Cannes Film Festival and received four Oscar^® nominations. When widow Anne (Anouk Aimée) and widower Jean-Louis (Jean-Louis Trintignant) meet, a budding romance blossoms. This new digital restoration highlights the film's gorgeous, impressionistic photography (with cinematography by Lelouch himself).

In an eerie near-future, techno-entrepreneur Karsh (Vincent Cassel) has developed a new software that will allow the bereaved to witness the decay of dead loved ones buried in the earth. But after the death of his wife (Diane Kruger), a spate of vandalized graves utilizing his “shroud” technology leads him to uncover a potentially vast conspiracy. This new film from David Cronenberg is a thought-provoking consideration of the corporeal and the digital, the mortal and the infinite.

On August 30, 1972, in New York City, John Lennon played his only full-length show after leaving The Beatles: the One to One benefit concert at Madison Square Garden with Yoko Ono. Oscar^®-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald's riveting documentary takes that legendary musical event and uses it as the starting point to explore 18 defining months in the lives of John and Yoko. ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO offers a bold new take on a seminal time in the lives of two of history's most influential artists.

New 4K Remaster
The groundbreaking 1972 film directed by Adrian Maben returns to theaters, now digitally remastered in 4K from the original 35mm footage with enhanced audio.

This week: a new 4K restoration of Luis Buñuel’s incisive portrait of paranoia, jealousy and sexual obsession, ÉL; the 65th anniversary of the late Roger Corman’s trailblazing DIY horror-comedy THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (1960); and the 50th anniversary of Peter Wier’s sensual and striking PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK.

Ingmar Bergman's first produced screenplay was for the great Swedish filmmaker Alf Sjöberg's TORMENT, a dark coming-of-age drama about a student, Widgren (Alf Kjellin), terrorized by his sadistic Latin teacher. When Widgren falls for a local girl (Mai Zetterling), he finds himself caught up even further in a web of emotional mind games. A worldwide success, the film catapulted the then-19-year-old Zetterling to international acclaim for the role she often considered her greatest.

Q&A with producer Simone Pero
As her retirement approaches, Alabama tire factory work Lilly Ledbetter (Patricia Clarkson) makes a startling revelation — the company has been paying her only half of what her male counterparts receive. Outraged, and with the support of her husband (John Benjamin Hickey) and a brilliant civil rights lawyer (Thomas Sadoski), Lilly's fight for justice takes her all the way to the White House. Featuring tour-de-force performances and a heart-stirring love story at its center, LILLY illuminates the courageous, personal cost of activism.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas created a fantasy adventure that would change filmmaking forever. Lucas combined an old-fashioned appreciation for classic storytelling, drawing on the mythological structure of fables and legends, plus the rousing adventure and action emphasis of Hollywood Westerns, war movies, swashbucklers and serials, with the most advanced and innovative screen special effects work yet seen.
