Films this week 3/31 – 4/02/2023

First things first… Due to some special student events this weekend on Friday and Saturday evening at Macaulay Honors College, we may be re-routing some of our regular audience “traffic flow,” and strongly recommend early online ticket purchase for those screenings.
Here at New Plaza Cinema we have since Christmas week been basking in our audiences’ love for Living, Turn Every Page, The Quiet Girl, and RRR…but all things, even in show biz, must come to an end so if you haven’t yet seen each one of these in a roomful of Upper West Side movie lovers, don’t delay!
Other highlights this weekend:
- Francois Truffaut’s 1973 moviemaking-echoes-life classic Day For Night has been in Warners Brothers’ library for a full half century, but those rights are expiring in a few weeks, and we couldn’t resist screening it one last time…
- My colleague Max Alvarez will bring his love and encyclopedic knowledge of British master Ken Loach to Saturday afternoon’s screening of the director’s documentary The Spirit of ‘45, about the socio- political changes that transformed post-WW2 Britain.
- Marcel Ophuls’ monumental The Sorrow and the Pity packed our house last Sunday afternoon — how could we not reprise it?
- And, the recent German wartime drama The Forger, with its charismatic young star Louis Hofmann, wowed New Plaza ‘regulars’ last weekend.
What are you waiting for?
