Two classic films and their master directors are in the\u00a0forefront of this week’s New Plaza Cinema programming.\u00a0\u00a0

Although it’s been nearly 25 years since Stanley Kubrick’s sudden passing, his movies\u00a0continue to draw enthusiastic, ever-analyzing audiences.\u00a0In our October theme of “horrific goings-on in remote locations”\u00a0that kicked off with\u00a0Island of Lost Souls<\/em>, we couldn’t resist including Kubrick’s\u00a0The Shining,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0adapted from Stephen King’s early novel about\u00a0one dysfunctional family’s terrifying unravelling in a dead of winter\u00a0Colorado resort hotel.\u00a0Jack Nicholson in one of his many iconic roles brings, among many other things, an immortal chilling twist to the familiar\u00a0intro of a famous TV talk show host.\u00a0Max Alvarez and I will be on hand\u00a0post-screening, and I’ll recall my viewing of\u00a0The Shining<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0on its opening day, May 23, 1980, after which the director ordered a scene cut from near the end of the picture, which has never been reinstated…

Another legendary filmmaker, Italy’s Luchino Visconti, is back on our Macaulay screen this weekend.\u00a0 After our single, sold-out August screening of\u00a0The Leopard<\/em>\u00a0turned into a six week stand,\u00a0we’re bringing in his previous early 60’s epic\u00a0Rocco and His Brothers<\/em><\/strong>, chronicling a working class Milan family whose dreams and desperate strivings turn to tragedy.\u00a0Alain Delon and Claudia Cardinale from\u00a0The Leopard\u00a0<\/em>are featured, along with Annie Girardot, Renato Salvatori and Katina Paxinou.\u00a0Another perfect escape on a rainy autumn afternoon.\u00a0\u00a0

Our other, timely newcomer is\u00a0Mister Organ<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0a singular documentary that just opened to surprise, sell out business in its downtown NYC and LA premieres.\u00a0In his Critic’s\u00a0Pick\u00a0NY Times<\/em>\u00a0review Glenn Kenny recounts,\u00a0“When New Zealand journalist David Farrier began investigating a peculiar series of events happening in a car park outside an antiques store in a town he likens to the antipodean equivalent of Beverly Hills, he most likely had no idea he’d wind up being haunted for life.\u00a0Farrier directed and co-stars in an account of those events that can rightly be called a documentary horror film. If its title initially strikes you as humorous, you won’t be laughing long.”\u00a0\u00a0

This has the makings of another “sleeper’ success” from the enterprising distributor of\u00a0Aurora’s Sunrise<\/em>,\u00a0 which we debuted last summer.\u00a0\u00a0

This week’s holdovers include\u00a0Past Lives<\/em><\/strong>,<\/em>\u00a0The Plot Against Harry<\/em><\/strong>,<\/em>\u00a0Carlos,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Pedro Almodovar’s unique “double-feature,”\u00a0Strange Way of Life<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0The Human Voice<\/em><\/strong>,<\/em>\u00a0and the Tom Wolfe doc\u00a0Radical Wolfe<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Please check our website this weekend for a possible special guest or two following Sunday’s 3:30 pm screening.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n
