As we move into our third weekend of screenings at the West End Theatre, we\u2019re keeping the focus on female Oscar nominees past and present.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Best Actress race is as “wide open” as any I can remember in recent years \u2014 any one of the five nominees could win. This week we\u2019re featuring two of them, Nicole Kidman in\u00a0Being the Ricardos\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>and Jessica Chastain (recent winner of the SAG Best Actress award) in\u00a0The Eyes of Tammy Faye<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Filmmakers Betsy West and Julie Cohen\u2019s incandescent documentary\u00a0RBG\u00a0<\/em>was a 2018 Oscar nominee, and we consider them among the “heroes of New Plaza” for their appearances with the film in the early days of our tenure at the NYIT Auditorium.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We are delighted to welcome them back on the evening of March 4th after the 5:45 pm show for a Talk Back and before the 8:15 pm show for a special introduction of their latest film\u00a0Julia<\/em><\/strong>, a portrait of immortal chef and author Julia Child.\u00a0Please check the website for ticketing information.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

An earlier film of Oscar nominee Ryusuke Hamaguchi (Best Director,\u00a0Drive My Car<\/em>) is on this week\u2019s program.\u00a0Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>moves between three different stories in which, per\u00a0NY Times<\/em>\u00a0critic Manohla Dargis \u2014 an early champion of this filmmaker \u2014 \u201cthe geometry of desire is elegantly plotted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, a familiar face from our classic cinema Talk Backs, filmmaker and historian\u00a0Dan Cahill<\/strong>\u00a0will join us on Saturday evening for a dissection of Jean-Pierre Melville\u2019s intricate 1970 heist classic\u00a0Le Cercle Rouge<\/em><\/strong>, starring\u00a0New Plaza Cinema\u00a0<\/strong>favorite Alain Delon, Yves Montand, and Gian Maria Volonte.<\/p>\n

Happy viewing!<\/p>\n
