Cinemapolis - Ithaca's Member Supported Independent Movie Theater

Greetings Cinemapolitans!

A friendly reminder that it's easier than ever to get back to the movies—the Green Street Parking Garage has officially re-opened to the public! This crucial return to normalcy means you can once again easily pull into the entrance just past our marquee, comfortably park in the brand new facility, and ride the elevator quickly down to our main entrance. No more construction mazes to navigate!

The crosswalk on Green Street is also once again open, so no matter which direction you're coming from, we're ready to welcome you back.

It's a BIG premiere weekend, so be sure to get in soon to catch Bodies Bodies Bodies, The Good Boss, Nope, Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, and The Territory. They ALL have their final screenings on Thursday, September 15.

OPENING THIS WEEKEND

GOD'S COUNTRY

102 min, R

Based on a short story by acclaimed author James Lee Burke, God’s Country is a character-driven thriller set in the snowy wilderness of the American West. Thandiwe Newton plays Sandra Guidry, a Black professor living and working in a rural college town. She’s also grieving her recently-deceased mother, for whom she'd served as primary caretaker.

On the day of the burial, Sandra discovers a mysterious red truck parked in her driveway. She soon learns it belongs to a pair of local hunters seeking to enter the forest behind her house. Sandra turns them away politely but firmly – her experience tells her these are not the sort of men to welcome freely into her world. But they won’t take no for an answer, and soon Sandra finds herself drawn into an escalating battle of wills that puts her most deeply-held values to the test.

Director: Julian Higgins

Writers: Julian Higgins, Shaye Ogbonna

Cast: Thandiwe Newton, Joris Jarsky, Jefferson White

HOLD ME TIGHT

97 min, NR

In Hold Me Tight, Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread, Bergman Island) gives another riveting performance as Clarisse, a woman on the run from her family for reasons that aren’t immediately clear. Widely renowned as one of France’s great contemporary actors but less well-known in North America for his equally impressive work behind the camera, Mathieu Amalric’s sixth feature as director is his most ambitious to date. This virtuosic, daringly fluid portrait of a woman in crisis alternates between Clarisse’s adventures on the road and scenes of her abandoned husband Marc (Arieh Worthalter) as he struggles to take care of their children at home. Amalric’s film keeps viewers uncertain as to the reality of what they’re seeing until the final moments of this moving, unpredictable, and richly rewarding family drama.

Director: Mathieu Amalric

Writers: Claudine Galea, Mathieu Amalric

Cast: Vicky Krieps, Arieh Worthalter, Anne-Sophie Bowen-Chatet

PEARL

105 min, R

In this prequel set decades before the grisly events of Ti West’s hit slasher X, Mia Goth returns as the future psycho-biddy Pearl, here a starry-eyed farm girl with a short fuse and a deadly ambition.

Trapped on her family’s isolated farm, Pearl must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she’s seen in the movies, Pearl’s ambitions, temptations, and repressions all collide, in the stunning, technicolor-inspired origin story of X’s iconic villain.

Director: Ti West

Writers: Ti West, Mia Goth

Cast: David Corenswet, Mia Goth, Emma Jenkins-Purro

CONTINUING IN THEATER

Since this will be my final weekly newsletter, I want to take one last opportunity to thank all the patrons, staff, volunteers, and board members that have made the last nine years a truly unforgettable chapter in my life.

Stewarding this gift that Lynne Cohen and Rich Szanyi bestowed upon our community back in 1986 has been a great honor, and I know that the venerable institution of Cinemapolis will continue to bring Ithaca joy for years to come.

An extra special thanks to all who have reached out to wish me well on my new adventure, and to Zoë Freer-Hessler of the Ithaca Voice for the lovely send off article. It's an exciting next step to be returning to my alma mater and serving Ithaca College in this new capacity.

I'll miss welcoming you all in the lobby, but rest assured that I'll soon be joining you as a fellow Cinemapolitan, exploring the power of film to "entertain, educate, and celebrate the human experience."

See you at the movies,

Brett Bossard,
Executive Director
