Nov 25 to Dec 1
Friday thru Thursday 7:15pm ONLY!
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu - 2022 - 160m - Mexico - In Spanish with English subtitles
Five-time Academy Award winner Alejandro G. Inarritu brings us an epic, visually stunning and immersive experience set against the intimate and moving journey of Silverio, a renowned Mexican journalist and documentary filmmaker living in Los Angeles, who, after being named the recipient of a prestigious international award, is compelled to return to his native country, unaware that this simple trip will push him to an existential limit. The folly of his memories and fears have decided to pierce through the present, filling his everyday life with a sense of bewilderment and wonder. With both emotion and abundant laughter, Silverio grapples with universal yet intimate questions about identity, success, mortality, the history of Mexico and the deeply emotional familial bonds he shares with his wife and children. Indeed, what it means to be human in these very peculiar times.
"More startlingly poetic images than any half-dozen recent blockbusters." - Kyle Smith, Wall Street Journal
It’s impossible to deny the strength of the startling array of thoughts and concepts which Inarritu has brought to life and, ultimately, brings together." - Fionnuala Halligan, Screen International
"Absolutely worth your time. Beautiful." - Marc Burrows, HeyUGuys
