Greetings, Cinemapolitans!

National Theatre Live brings the stage to the big screen with another award-winning favorite this week.

Tracie Bennett, Janie Dee and Imelda Staunton play the magnificent Follies in this dazzling production of Stephen Sondheim’s legendary musical. Featuring a cast of 37 and an orchestra of 21, it was directed by Dominic Cooke and filmed live on stage at the National Theatre in 2017.

New York, 1971. There’s a party on the stage of the Weismann Theatre. Tomorrow the iconic building will be demolished. Thirty years after their final performance, the Follies girls gather to have a few drinks, sing a few songs and lie about themselves. Two chances to see it — T hursday, March 10 at 6:30 pm, and again on Saturday, March 12 at 1:30.

It's another premiere weekend, so you should get in soon to catch Huda's Salon. It has its final screenings on Thursday, March 10th!

OPENING FRIDAY, MARCH 11

ASCENSION

97 min, NR

OSCAR NOMINEE FOR
BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE

ASCENSION is an impressionistic portrait of China’s industrial supply chain that reveals the country’s growing class divide through staggering observations of labor, consumerism and wealth. The documentary portrays capitalism in China across the levels of its operation, from the crudest mine to the most rarefied forms of leisure.

In traveling up the rungs of China’s social ladder, we see how each level supports and makes possible the next while recognizing the contemporary “Chinese Dream” remains an elusive fantasy for most.

DIRECTOR: Jessica Kingdon
