NEW THIS WEEK:

OLDBOY

OPENS AUGUST 16!

This modern classic has been remastered and rereleased to celebrate its 20th anniversary!

Oh Dae-su is kidnapped and imprisoned on a rainy night in 1988, only to be released 15 years later and realize he must find his captor in five days to discover the reason for his captivity. OLDBOY is a neo-noir thriller, and the second installment in Director Park Chan-wook’s “Vengeance” trilogy, which also encompasses 2002’s SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE and 2005’s LADY VENGEANCE.

This film is presented in Korean with English subtitles.

"A lurid, complex, introspective beast, enacting astonishing cruelty on its protagonist like a slow-acting poison." — Little White Lies

"A delirious, confronting ride, a movie full of visceral shocks and aesthetic pleasures: it has an explosive immediacy and a persistent afterlife, a lingering impact that is hard to shake." — The Age

Director: Park Chan-wook (THE HANDMAIDEN)

Cast: Choi Min-sik, Kim Byeong-Ok, Kang Hye-jeong

TICKETS

AFIRE

OPENS AUGUST 18!

While vacationing by the Baltic Sea, writer Leon (Thomas Schubert) and photographer Felix (Langston Uibel) are surprised by the presence of Nadja (Paula Beer), a mysterious young woman staying as a guest at Felix’s family’s holiday home. As Nadja and Leon grow closer, an encroaching forest fire threatens the group and tensions escalate when a handsome lifeguard and Leon's tight-lipped book editor also arrive.

This film is presented in German with English subtitles.

"AFIRE builds a story that begins as a hangout comedy with a sad-sack at its center but gradually becomes a slow-motion conflagration that offers no easy answers."

— Slant Magazine

"Deceptive simplicity makes way for illuminating depths."

— Hollywood Reporter

Directors / Writer:

Christian Petzold

Cast: Thomas Schubert, Paula Beer, Langston Uibel, Enno Trebs

BEST OF ENEMIES

NATIONAL THEATER LIVE RETURNS TO CINEMAPOLIS ON AUGUST 17 & 20!

David Harewood (HOMELAND) and Zachary Quinto (STAR TREK) play feuding political rivals in James Graham’s multiple award-winning new drama.

In 1968 America, as two men fight to become the next president, all eyes are on the battle between two others: the cunningly conservative William F. Buckley Jr., and the unruly liberal Gore Vidal.

During a new nightly television format, they debate the moral landscape of a shattered nation. As beliefs are challenged and slurs slung, a new frontier in American politics is opening and television news is about to be transformed forever.

Director: Jeremy Herrin

Writer: James Graham
