Sorry, Baby

A24 Films is proud to present the newest film in their 2025 slate–Sorry, Baby.

Written, directed by, and starring Eva Victor, Sorry, Baby follows Agnes, a once-promising academic whose life is frozen in the aftermath of a shattering personal betrayal—known only as “the bad thing.” Over the course of five emotionally intricate chapters, the film traces Agnes’s attempts to move forward while stuck in place, navigating the small-town routines of her adult life in New England. When her childhood friend Lydie (Naomi Ackie) returns from New York, their reunion reignites buried tensions, old comforts, and the question of whether healing is possible—or if survival is enough.

A sharply observed and darkly funny portrait of internalized grief and human connection, Sorry, Baby is both intimate and expansive, capturing the textures of time, memory, and the strange ways people grow apart, then back together.

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

This August, The Frida Cinema proudly presents Greenaway & Nyman, a film series celebrating four of the most iconic collaborations between filmmaker Peter Greenaway and composter Michael Nyman. We close our series with Greenaway’s 1989 masterpiece The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, a lurid, operatic masterpiece of gluttony, sumptuous beauty, and brutal vengeance, all set to Nyman’s famously haunting score, and almost entirely within the lavish confines of a French restaurant.

Albert Spica (Michael Gambon), a grotesquely boorish gangster, terrorizes guests and staff with his vulgarity and violence night after night at a fancy restaurant named Le Hollandais. His long-suffering wife Georgina (Helen Mirren), who quietly endures his abuse, begins a passionate affair with a gentle bookseller (Alan Howard), meeting him in secret among the restaurant’s corridors, kitchens, and storerooms. What unfolds is a richly stylized operatic tragedy, with color-coded sets that shift with each room, vibrant costumes by Jean-Paul Gaultier, and one of Michael Nyman’s most iconic scores.

Diciannove

The Italian coming-of-age film Diciannove is making its way to The Frida Cinema!

The highs and lows of a restless youth collide headlong into the concrete realities of adulthood when Leonardo, a teenager from Palermo leaves home for the first time. His studies land him in Siena, by way of London, where he clashes with his instructor, the curriculum, and most chaotically, with himself. Produced by Luca Guadagnino, Diciannove (nineteen), marks the feature filmmaking debut of writer-director Giovanni Tortorici, a bold, brash and bemusing filmmaking talent.

Winner of the Queer Lion Award at Venice International Film Festival in 2024, Diciannove has been celebrated all over the world and is finally coming stateside!

Clueless

As if! It’s been 30 years since Cher Horowitz first schooled us in the art of high school survival—and we’re celebrating it in style.

Amy Heckerling’s Clueless remains the ultimate ’90s teen comedy: sharp, stylish, and endlessly quotable. Follow Cher, Dionne, and the gang through Beverly Hills’ hallways and malls as they navigate friendship, fashion, and, of course, the quest to find the perfect date.

Shallow, rich and socially successful Cher is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school’s pecking scale. Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher first coaxes two teachers into dating each other. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give hopelessly klutzy new student Tai a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother was right about how misguided she was — and falls for him.

The Young Girls of Rochefort

Step into the sun-soaked streets of The Young Girls Of Rochefort, where twin sisters Delphine and Solange (played by real-life sisters Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac) dream of love and adventure beyond their small seaside town.

Delphine and Solange are two sisters living in Rochefort. Delphine is a dancing teacher and Solange composes and teaches the piano. Maxence is a poet and a painter. He is doing his military service. Simon owns a music shop, he left Paris one month ago to come back where he fell in love 10 years ago. They are looking for love, looking for each other, without being aware that their ideal partner is very close…

Directed by Jacques Demy, this effervescent musical pays homage to classic Hollywood musicals while infusing them with French flair.

The Phantom of the Opera

You sold it last month, so Joel Schumacher’s The Phantom of the Opera (2004) is coming back for a one-night-only encore!

A lavish, operatic fever dream of unrequited love and pure spectacle, this bold adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic stage musical transforms the beloved Broadway production into a grand cinematic spectacle bursting with candlelit catacombs, crashing chandeliers, and soaring ballads. Starring Gerard Butler as the tortured Phantom, Emmy Rossum as the angel-voiced Christine, and Patrick Wilson as the dashing Raoul, Schumacher’s take is a maximalist and unapologetic in a way only he could do!

Boasting a 33% on Rotten Tomatoes, the film was received poorly upon its initial release. Come see it on the big screen and judge for yourself!
