One life. One hundred years.

Jinsei, the new anime masterpiece from first-time director Ryuya Suzuki, is coming to The Frida Cinema!

Our hero (voiced by rapper ACE COOL), called by a different name in each chapter of his life, becomes a J-pop idol, an outcast, a leader, and an oracle in this hundred-year chronicle spanning the past, present, and future. Through a chance encounter with a transfer student, he trains to become an idol, starting his search for self-identity and a journey toward greatness beyond superstardom.

Written, directed, edited and entirely hand-drawn by newcomer Ryuya Suzuki over eighteen months, Jinsei (meaning “life” in Japanese) is an anime tour-de-force that announces Suzuki to the world as a bold new talent in independent animation.

One night. One city. One endless conversation. We’re continuing our annual June 16th tradition with another screening of Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise!

On a train bound for Vienna, two strangers, Jesse (Ethan Hawke), a restless American backpacker, and Céline (Julie Delpy), a thoughtful French student, strike up a casual conversation that quickly deepens into something electric. Jesse, impulsive and charming, persuades Céline to get off the train with him and wander the city until his flight leaves the next morning. Over the course of one night, they talk, laugh, debate, and flirt as they walk the cobblestone streets, share glances by the Danube, and explore the edges of intimacy. With no promise of a future, they make the present feel infinite. 

What makes Before Sunrise the type of film we can play to sold out crowds year after year? Probably how immediate and fresh it feels, even thirty years later. Linklater strips romance down to its simplest form: two people connecting at exactly the right moment in their lives. Let the yearning begin! 

Our second Volunteer of the Month is courtesy of Jonathan V., who has chosen Steven Soderbergh’s star-studded heist comedy Logan Lucky!

Channing Tatum stars as Jimmy Logan, a West Virginia construction worker who recruits his brother Clyde (Adam Driver) and an eccentric crew to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway during the Coca-Cola 600. Their plan hinges on the help of Joe Bang, a bombastic explosives expert played by Daniel Craig in one of the funniest performances of his career. 

A caper comedy mixed with an underdog story in only the way Soderbergh can deliver, Logan Lucky swaps the sleek glamour of traditional heist films for dive bars and race tracks, making it warmhearted crowd-pleaser that plays best…where else? The big screen!
