As I was traveling overseas last week, New Plaza Cinema opened the indelible new Irish drama The Quiet Girl<\/em><\/strong> — Oscar-nominated for Best International Film — to another weekend of sold-out screenings. Your support here, as with Bill Nighy’s Living<\/strong><\/em> (now in its third month!) has been invaluable in putting our little cinema “on the map,” and as a result, film distributors are now calling US!<\/strong><\/p>\n The Quiet Girl<\/strong><\/em>, a spellbinding tale of one fateful summer in a young girl’s life, is adapted from the 2010 short story by Claire Keegan — now part of the school syllabus in Ireland — which secured her reputation as one of Europe’s most important storytellers. We’ve added additional shows this weekend, but still strongly recommend that your purchase tickets online and in advance, as well as for our ongoing sellout run of Turn Every Page — the Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n This weekend we’re inaugurating a new, thematic monthly series of film classics, two screenings each month, many of which are not readily available on the myriad of streaming services. March’s motif is titled Heaven & Hell — Outrageous Pre-Code Classics<\/strong><\/em>, starting Sunday with Ernst Lubitsch’s eternally effervescent 1932 Trouble in Paradise<\/em><\/strong>, starring Herbert Marshall, Kay Francis, Miriam Hopkins and Edward Everett Horton. <\/p>\n On March 19 Max Alvarez and I will spotlight trailblazing studio director Dorothy Arzner’s pungent Merrily We Go to Hell<\/strong><\/em>. As many of you experienced here recently with Casablanca<\/strong><\/em>, nothing matches seeing a classic on a big screen with an enraptured audience…<\/p>\n And we’ll be reprising two other Oscar nominees: All That Breathes<\/em><\/strong> (Best Documentary Feature) whose director joined us on Presidents’ Day for a Q&A before a packed house and Argentina 1985 <\/strong><\/em>(Best International Film, Argentina).<\/p>\n Several of our patrons have noted that the version we’ll be screening, in Spanish with English subtitles, is markedly superior to the English dubbed edition on Amazon Prime. <\/p>\n All in all, a rich weekend of cinema — please join us! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Gary Palmucci, Film Curator [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_sidebar orientation=”right” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As I was traveling overseas last week, New Plaza Cinema opened the indelible new Irish drama The Quiet Girl — Oscar-nominated for Best International Film — to another weekend of sold-out screenings.
