Posted by Mr. Chadwick, March 22, 2010 12:15pm | Post a Comment

This Wednesday and Thursday the New Beverly Cinema pairs up a couple of grimy noirs featuring director Phil Karlson and starring John Payne. This double is especially sweet, as 99 River St. is not on DVD and is rarely screened. Throw in roles by  Peggy Castle (I, the Jury), Evelyn Keyes (The Prowler), Nevile Brand (D.O.A.), Coleen Gray (Nightmare Alley), Jack Lambert (Kiss Me Deadly) and the cinematography of George Diskant (Beware My Lovely, On Dangerous Ground, the Racket, Narrow Margin) and you begin to see just how deep this double feature goes.

Two Directed by Adam Green!

The New Beverly Cinema presents "An Evening With Adam Green." Join us for a double feature kicking off with FROZEN in glorious 35mm and featuring special cast appearances and a brief Q&A to follow. After that, it's COFFEE & DONUTS, Green's infamous $400 budget first feature film from 1999. This will be the first time COFFEE & DONUTS will be shown publicly in a theater, so for those fans who have been trying to find a way to find it over the past decade... don't miss this exclusive chance! This event will also include some of Green's favorite short films from over the years and, of course, plenty of stories from Green himself.

Friday - Wednesday March 12 - 17

Exclusive LA Run of the NEW 35mm Print!

House
1977, Japan, 88 minutes
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0076162/
dir. Nobuhiko Obayashi, starring Kimiko Ikegami, Kumiko Ohba, Yôko Minamida, Ai Matsubara, Miki Jinbo, Masayo Miyako
Watch The Trailer!

How to describe Nobuhiko Obayahshi's 1977 movie House? As a psychedelic ghost tale? A stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? An episode of Scooby Doo as directed by Dario Argento? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip about a schoolgirl who travels with six classmates to her ailing aunt's creaky country home, only to come face to face with evil spirits, bloodthirsty pianos, and a demonic housecat. Too absurd to be genuinely terrifying, yet too nightmarish to be merely comic, House seems like it was beamed to Earth from another planet. Or perhaps the mind of a child: the director fashioned the script after the eccentric musings of his eleven-year-old daughter, then employed all the tricks in his analog arsenal (mattes, animation, and collage) to make them a visually astonishing, raucous reality. Never before released in the United States, and a bona fide cult classic in the making, House is one of the most exciting genre discoveries in years.

This Week At The New Beverly: Werner Herzog, Keith Coogan, Alfred Hitchcock & more!
