Mulholland Drive in 35mm

We’ve got another 83 years to go (and who knows what Tyler Perry might still come up with), but for now—according to a global poll of 177 film critics conducted this summer by the BBC—Mulholland Drive is the best film of the 21st century. See it again in 35mm when the most honest film ever made about Hollywood returns to the Cinematheque for four nights, starting Saturday (December 10). 

The Third Part of the Night  The Cinematheque offers one last, rare screening of filmmaker Andrzej Zuławski’s 1971 debut, a hallucinatory vision of Nazi-occupied Poland now newly restored and ready to slaughter your family while you cower in the woods, on Thursday (December 8).

To The Ends of the Earth  Witnesses from the frontlines of “extreme” resource extraction speak out in this doc, at the Vancity Theatre on Sunday (December 11), with filmmaker David Lavalee, scientist-activist Lynne Quarmby, and the Wilderness Committee’s Peter McCartney attending.

Mars Attacks!  President Jack Nicholson joins forces with Slim Whitman (kind of) to take on invading Martians with big-ass brains but very poor verbal skills in Tim Burton’s 1996 spoof, rounding off the Cinematheque’s departing Sci-Fi Cinema Sunday season on, erm, Sunday (December 11).

One More Time With Feeling  Fine Aussie director Andrew Dominik captures the recording of the Bad Seeds’ Skeleton Tree album in the wake of the 2015 death of Arthur Cave—Nick’s 15-year-old son. Originally a global, one-night-only screening event in September, One More Time With Feeling comes to the Vancity Theatre on Monday (December 12).
