Party Like It’s 1999 and Kubrick Christmas closes with Eyes Wide Shut, the director’s subversive, sexual holiday mystery.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman star as William and Alice, a wealthy New York couple trying to get in the holiday spirit. After Alice admits to William that she once almost — key word being almost — cheated on him, William is suddenly inspired to partake in a nightlong sexual odyssey, finding himself in one strange entanglement after another as the possible indiscretion plays out on a loop in his head. His late night sojourn eventually brings him to a secretive occult group that may offer him more excitement than he’s looking for…

Robert Eggers’ chilling new vision of Nosferatu is making its way to The Frida Cinema! A breathtaking reimagining of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 masterpiece, the film stars an incredible cast comprised of Bill Skarsgard, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Aaaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, and Frida favorite Willem Dafoe.

A gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.

Join us on January 2nd for the opening night party, where we will have themed drinks and photo opportunities! And as always, we encourage your best cosplay!

Up next in our Wong Kar-Wai Month series is the 1988 crime drama As Tears Go By.

Set in the underworld of Hong Kong’s triads, the film follows Wah (Andy Lau), a small-time gangster torn between loyalty and love. Wah must navigate his turbulent relationship with his reckless, self-destructive protégé, Fly (Jacky Cheung), whose impulsive behavior repeatedly draws them into dangerous conflicts. Meanwhile, Wah finds solace in a tender romance with his cousin Ngor (Maggie Cheung), a woman from a quieter world who offers him a glimpse of redemption and a life beyond violence.

Update: due to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles, our guests are no longer able to join us for the in-person portion of this event. However, they will be pre-recording a very special introduction to the film just for The Frida Cinema’s audience.
