Thank You Very Much

Relive the zany antics of Andy Kaufman with Thank You Very Much, Alex Braverman’s new documentary about the madcap comedian!

In his short, enigmatic life, Andy Kaufman entertained and transfixed audiences while simultaneously driving them away. His work dissolved the boundaries separating reality from fiction, and his commitment to performance, both on stage and off, rendered any distinctions between his characters and his real life useless. Was he a comic, an affable sit-com star, a washed-up lounge singer, a bus boy, a professional wrestler, a hoaxer, a provocateur or a pest? Nearly 40 years after his supposed death, one question still puzzles fans and haters alike: “was that for real?”

Mulholland Drive

We are continuing to pay tribute to the legend of David Lynch, as The Frida Cinema presents three more encores of his 2001 masterpiece Mulholland Drive!

Betty Elms (Naomi Watts), a hopeful actress newly arrived in Los Angeles, discovers a woman (Laura Harring) with amnesia hiding in her aunt’s apartment. The two women set out to uncover the mystery of the stranger’s identity, leading them through a labyrinth of cryptic clues, sinister characters, and dark Hollywood secrets. As their investigation deepens, the narrative becomes increasingly disjointed, reflecting Lynch’s signature exploration of subconscious fears and desires.

With its haunting atmosphere, fragmented storytelling, and an unsettling score, Mulholland Drive is widely considered a masterpiece of psychological horror and ambiguity, earning Lynch an Academy Award nomination for Best Director and gaining a reputation as one of the greatest films of the 21st century.
