Next up in our A24orror series is our Robert Eggers Double Feature, diving into the twisted, atmospheric worlds of The VVitch and The Lighthouse. The VVitch takes us back to 17th-century New England, where a Puritan family is slowly undone by supernatural forces lurking in the woods. With its haunting period detail and chilling sense of isolation, this film redefined indie folk horror and set the stage for Eggers’ obsession with unraveling the human psyche. Plus, Black Phillip is still the ultimate horror mascot. Then, we take a ship to The Lighthouse, a surreal, mind-bending descent into madness starring Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe as two lighthouse keepers trapped in a storm. The intensity of their growing obsession with one another, paired with the claustrophobic, monochrome cinematography, makes this one of the most disturbing (and surprisingly funny) films of the decade. This is a double feature that’s equal parts unnerving and artsy—hallmarks of A24 horror films. Prepare yourself for a night of isolation, madness, and dread, all on the big screen with like-minded fans.

Director: Ryan J. Sloan Run Time: 114 min. Release Year: 2025
Starring: Ariella Mastroianni, Jack Alberts, Marcia DeBonis, Renee Gagner, Tommy Kang
A young mother, contending with a rare brain condition and desperate to save money for her daughter’s future, takes a risky job from a mysterious woman with a dark past, and gets entangled in a web of revenge, deceit, and murder. Shot in magnificent 16mm and co-written with the magnetic lead actress, Ariella Mastroianni, Gazer gazes fondly back on the masters of the 70s paranoid thriller while keeping itself grounded firmly in the cutting-edge of today's independent filmmaking. From Cannes Film Festival to Fantastic Fest, this indie noir is a potent reminder of how exciting American independent filmmaking can be! "Critic's Pick! Marrying the manic paranoia of 'After Hours' with a 'Memento'-esque unreliable protagonist and touches of flesh-bending body horror that could be ripped straight from 'Videodrome,' 'Gazer' is the kind of debut that should restore your lost faith in independent cinema." -Indiewire

Director: Andrei Tarkovsky Run Time: 95 min. Release Year: 1962 Language: Russian
Starring: Nikolay Burlyaev, Nikolay Grinko, Stepan Krylov, Valentin Zubkov, Yevgeni Zharikov
The third film in our Andrei Tarkovsky Retrospective is Ivan’s Childhood, Tarkovsky’s stunning feature debut. Set during World War II, the film follows Ivan, a young boy who has been orphaned by the war and becomes a scout for the Soviet army. As he navigates the horrors of war, his childhood innocence clashes with the brutality surrounding him, creating a haunting portrait of loss, survival, and the effects of violence on the human soul. Tarkovsky’s masterful use of imagery—particularly his iconic dream sequences—imbues the film with a surreal, almost poetic quality, making Ivan’s Childhood a deeply emotional and visually striking meditation on the impact of war on the psyche. With this remarkable debut, Tarkovsky established the thematic depth and visual precision that would define his career, making Ivan’s Childhood an unforgettable exploration of memory, trauma, and the fragility of innocence.

Friday has become a beloved cult film and certified Frida Cinema favorite, known for its specific portrayal of life in South Central Los Angeles, and mixing humor with social commentary. The film’s dialogue and characters, especially the laid-back protagonist Craig (played by Ice Cube) and the eccentric Smokey (played by Chris Tucker), have left a lasting impact on pop culture, with memorable quotes that are often repeated in everyday conversations.

Starring: Alex Wolff, Ann Dowd, Gabriel Byrne, Milly Shapiro, Toni Collette
Kicking off our A24orror series, celebrating 10 years of A24 horror since the Sundance premiere of The VVitch, is writer/director Ari Aster's Hereditary, a film that shocked an entire generation of new horror fans. This chilling, family-centered nightmare follows Annie (Toni Collette), a mother reeling from the death of her estranged mother, and her family as they begin to unravel dark, supernatural secrets. As tragedy and terror pile on, the Graham family’s dark legacy comes to light in ways that will make your skin crawl. With Hereditary, Aster doesn’t just bring jump scares—he dives deep into grief, trauma, and generational curses, crafting a horror experience that sticks with you long after the credits roll. Toni Collette gives an iconic, Oscar-worthy performance (snub of the century, anybody?) that’ll leave you shaken up long after the credits roll.

Starring: Alec Baldwin, Dakota Fanning, Kelly Preston, Mike Myers, Spencer Breslin
Our 4/20 Weekend takes a colorful turn as we presented the oft-maligned 2003 live-action version of The Cat In The Hat! During a rainy day, and while their mother is out, Conrad and Sally, and their pet fish, are visited by the mischievous Cat in the Hat. Fun soon turns to mayhem, and the siblings must figure out how to rid themselves of the maniacal Cat. Directed by Bo Welch (Production Designer on Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands) and shot by Emmanuel Lubezki (Children Of Men, Gravity, The Revenant, The Tree Of Life, Birdman), The Cat In The Hat was largely panned by critics upon its release despite its all-star cast, with many criticizing the film for not capturing the magic and whimsy of Dr. Seuss's original story. But as we all know, cats have nine lives, and we're willing to try to give it one more!

In this exploitation-cinema classic, which took the action and graphic violence of the Lone Wolf and Cub series to delirious new heights, Itto Ogami and Daigoro continue their quest for vengeance through meifumado, the spiritual way of “demons and damnation,” pursued constantly by the Shadow Yagyu clan and the shogun’s spies. Hosted by Polygon’s editor-in-chief Chris Plante, Hallucinations is a monthly event that spotlights movies that challenge our expectations of story, style, and “good taste”. Plante will introduce each film with some behind-the-scenes history and critical context. With Hallucinations, The Frida Cinema wants to build a communal space for lovers of Weird Cinema.

Director: Andrei Tarkovsky Run Time: 183 min. Release Year: 1966 Language: Russian
Starring: Anatoliy Solonitsyn, Irma Raush, Ivan Lapikov, Nikolai Sergeyev, Nikolay Grinko
Up next in our Andrei Tarkovsky Retrospective is Andrei Rublev, one of the director's most celebrated and historically significant works. Set in 15th-century Russia, the film follows the life of Andrei Rublev, a monk and icon painter, as he grapples with the brutality of the world around him, the spiritual toll of his calling, and the complexities of artistic creation. Upon its release, Andrei Rublev faced heavy censorship in the Soviet Union, and it was initially banned for its perceived bleak portrayal of Russian history and spirituality. However, it eventually garnered international acclaim, receiving the FIPRESCI Prize at the 1969 Cannes Film Festival and securing its place as one of the greatest films ever made. Andrei Rublev remains a cornerstone of both Tarkovsky’s career and Russian cinema, offering a profound exploration of the intersection between art, faith, and the human condition.

Disregarded at the time of its release, and still underrated by many critics, Rio Bavo is finally coming into its own as one of director/producer Howard Hawks' final great films.

The Frida Cinema's seating is first-come, first-serve. For our Midnight Screenings, please plan on arriving by 11:30pm to ensure ample time for parking, picking up concessions, and securing optimal seats. Screening will begin promptly at midnight.
Run Time: 191 min.
Next up in our A24orror series is a chaotic double feature of Bodies Bodies Bodies and Climax. Both are rollercoasters of excess and anxiety, where the boundaries between party fun and full-blown nightmare collide. Bodies Bodies Bodies takes the classic whodunit and flips it on its head, serving up a hilarious look at a group of Gen-Z friends trapped in a remote mansion during a hurricane. As they play a game of “bodies, bodies, bodies,” a real body turns up, and madness ensues. Climax, on the other hand, takes you to a wild dance party that spirals straight into madness. Gaspar Noé's visceral direction puts you right in the middle of the action as the dancers, high on LSD, descend into an all-out frenzy of delirium, violence, and emotional collapse. What links these two films together? The loss of control. Both are feverish, disorienting dives into the breakdown of social bonds, self-control, and the terrifying consequences of groupthink in high-stakes environments. Whether it's a deadly game of trust or a drug-fueled descent into chaos, Bodies Bodies Bodies and Climax show how quickly things can escalate when the mask of civility slips and the true horror of human nature emerges.

Director: David Cronenberg Run Time: 119 min. Release Year: 2025
Starring: Diane Kruger, Elizabeth Saunders, Guy Pearce, Sandrine Holt, Vincent Cassel
David Cronenberg delivers an entirely new take on body horror, reinventing the game yet again with his new film The Shrouds. This dramatic sci-fi thriller is a reflective stunner that combines the maestro's signature body horror with profound elder-statesman reflection. Entering his 80s, Cronenberg (The Fly, Dead Ringers, History of Violence) continues to find new ways to innovate what can be done with bodies in cinema, losing none of his edge while demonstrating a true sense of empathy; the result is a film that astonishes while also being his most accessible film since Eastern Promises. In an eerie, deceptively placid near-future, a techno-entrepreneur named Karsh (Vincent Cassel) has developed a new software that will allow the bereaved to bear witness to the gradual decay of loved ones dead and buried in the earth. While Karsh is still reeling from the loss of his wife (Diane Kruger) from cancer—and falling into a peculiar sexual relationship with his wife’s sister (also Kruger)—a spate of vandalized graves utilizing his “shroud” technology begins to put his enterprise at risk, leading him to uncover a potentially vast conspiracy.

As they rise to stardom, they find themselves being manipulated by an all-powerful corporation that’s using their music to influence the minds of consumers. Though initially dismissed as a bubblegum teen comedy, Josie and the Pussycats has become a cult classic, with its hilarious take on the superficiality of pop culture, its clever script, and its killer soundtrack.

Driven by a thirst for justice and revenge, they take matters into their own hands, launching an all-out assault on their oppressors. With its DIY filmmaking style, intense performances, and a killer punk soundtrack, Vengeance of the Punks is a throwback to the raw energy of exploitation cinema and the anarchistic fervor of the '90s.

Director: Andrei Tarkovsky Run Time: 149 min. Release Year: 1986 Language: Swedish
Starring: Allan Edwall, Erland Josephson, Guðrún Gísladóttir, Susan Fleetwood, Sven Wollter
Up next in our Andrei Tarkovsky Retrospective is The Sacrifice, his final film. Set in the days leading up to a nuclear war, the film centers on Alexander, a retired actor living on an isolated Swedish estate with his family. When he learns that the world is on the brink of destruction, Alexander makes an extreme, desperate vow to sacrifice everything—his family, his possessions, and his life—in the hopes of averting catastrophe. As the tension between personal sacrifice and global annihilation escalates, Tarkovsky crafts a poignant, spiritual journey that examines the complexities of selflessness, redemption, and the burden of human responsibility. Released after Tarkovsky’s exile from the Soviet Union, The Sacrifice was his swan song, marked by a sense of personal reflection and an urgent exploration of moral and spiritual themes. Despite being filmed under difficult circumstances, it was met with critical acclaim, winning the Grand Prix at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival and becoming a testament to Tarkovsky’s unyielding artistic vision. As his final cinematic statement, The Sacrifice offers a powerful, evocative conclusion to Tarkovsky’s exploration of faith, art, and the eternal struggle between destruction and redemption.

Director: Ari Aster Run Time: 147 min. Release Year: 2019
Starring: Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, Vilhelm Blomgren, Will Poulter, William Jackson Harper
Join us to celebrate May Day on May 1st as we present a very special screening of director Ari Aster's sun-drenched nightmare Midsommar. Following a tragic family loss, Dani (Florence Pugh) joins her boyfriend Christian (Jack Reynor) and his friends on a trip to a rural Swedish village for a midsummer festival. What starts as an idyllic escape soon spirals into an unsettling and grotesque series of rituals, as the group becomes entangled in the dark secrets of the commune. Bathed in bright daylight and set against an idyllic backdrop, Midsommar takes a deeply disturbing look at grief, trauma, and the lengths people will go to in the name of tradition. Aster’s trademark slow-burn tension, paired with surreal imagery and shockingly graphic sequences, creates a haunting atmosphere that feels suffocating yet oddly captivating. ***May Day, celebrated on May 1st, is a European festival of ancient origins marking the beginning of summer, often featuring traditions like gathering wildflowers, crowning a May Queen, and dancing around a maypole. Let the festivities begin.****

Director: Andrei Tarkovsky Run Time: 124 min. Release Year: 1983 Language: Russian
Starring: Domiziana Giordano, Erland Josephson, Laura De Marchi, Oleg Yankovskiy, Patrizia Terreno
The penultimate film in our Andrei Tarkovsky Retrospective is his rarely-screen film from 1983: Nostalgia. Set in Italy, Nostalgia follows Andrei Gorchakov, a Russian poet who is researching the life of an Italian composer while grappling with deep homesickness and a sense of alienation in a foreign land. As Gorchakov reflects on his past and the world he left behind in Russia, the film explores the themes of memory, longing, and the difficulty of reconciling one's personal history with the present. The film’s intimate, reflective tone, combined with its stark, beautiful cinematography, earned Nostalgia widespread acclaim. It was awarded the Best Director prize at the 1983 Cannes Film Festival, a recognition of Tarkovsky’s extraordinary ability to capture the emotional and spiritual depth of his characters. As a work of exile and reflection, Nostalgia serves as both a personal meditation for Tarkovsky and a universal exploration of the human condition, making it an essential part of his cinematic legacy.

Next up in our A24orror series is a tense, anxiety-fueled double feature featuring Green Room and It Comes at Night, two films that explore the primal fear of being trapped in life-or-death situations where trust is a luxury you can’t afford. In Green Room, a punk band finds themselves in a terrifying situation after witnessing a murder at a remote neo-Nazi skinhead club. Trapped in the green room with no way out, they must use all their wits and grit to survive as the situation escalates into an all-out battle for survival. It Comes at Night is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a family hides away in an isolated house, desperately trying to avoid a mysterious, deadly threat outside. As paranoia builds between the family and their new visitors, the film asks: what happens when the monsters outside aren’t the only ones you should fear? With the stark visuals of directors Jeremy Saulnier and Trey Edward Schults, this is a double feature is not for the faint of heart.

Director: Andrei Tarkovsky Run Time: 167 min. Release Year: 1972 Language: Russian
Starring: Donatas Banionis, Jüri Järvet, Natalya Bondarchuk, Nikolay Grinko, Vladislav Dvorzhetsky
Closing out our Andrei Tarkovsky Retrospective is Solaris, one of cinema's most renowned and thought-provoking sci-fi masterpieces. Based on the novel by Stanisław Lem, Solaris is set on a distant planet where a research station has been established to study a mysterious ocean that covers the planet’s surface. The film follows psychologist Kris Kelvin, who is sent to the station to investigate the strange occurrences happening among the crew members. As the ocean’s inexplicable powers begin to manifest, the crew members are confronted with physical manifestations of their deepest memories and regrets—projections of their pasts that challenge the boundaries of reality, identity, and the human psyche. Upon its release, Solaris was met with critical acclaim for its intellectual depth and emotional resonance, distinguishing itself from other science fiction films of the era. It was widely praised for its psychological depth and is often cited as one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time. Solaris was also recognized at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Prize. In Tarkovsky’s hands, the genre becomes a platform for profound philosophical inquiry, making Solaris a timeless exploration of the human experience, the fragility of the mind, and the mysteries of existence.

Next up in our A24orror series is a familiar double feature to fans of The Frida Cinema--Ti West's X and its prequel Pearl! In X, a group of filmmakers sets out to make an adult film in rural Texas, only to encounter the terrifying and unpredictable wrath of the elderly couple who own the property. What begins as a somewhat playful, low-budget production soon becomes a nightmarish struggle for survival, as the film takes on themes of aging, exploitation, and the dangerous allure of indulgence. Mia Goth, in a standout performance, brings an unsettling complexity to the film, playing both the innocent starlet and the crazed, murderous antagonist. X is equal parts slasher and grindhouse homage, but with a layer of social commentary about the exploitation of youth and beauty. Then, we jump into Pearl, a haunting prequel that digs deep into the backstory of Pearl, the character played by Mia Goth in X. Set in 1918, Pearl is a young woman with big dreams of becoming a star, but she’s trapped in a life of caregiving and oppressive isolation on her family’s farm. Her growing frustration and desire to break free from the constraints of her small, rural life drive her into darker, more violent territory. Pearl is an almost operatic exploration of ambition, madness, and the disillusionment that comes with chasing a dream at any cost. Goth’s performance is nothing short of mesmerizing, with the film blending campy horror with psychological depth in a way that’s both tragic and terrifying.

The penultimate event in our A24orror series is an off-kilter double feature of The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Talk to Me, two films that deep-dive into the psychological horror of guilt, manipulation, and the dark consequences of making dangerous choices. In The Killing of a Sacred Deer, we follow Dr. Steven Murphy (Colin Farrell), a successful surgeon whose life begins to unravel after he befriends a mysterious teenage boy, Martin (Barry Keoghan). As Martin manipulates his way into Steven’s life, the boundaries between guilt and punishment begin to blur. With director Yorgos Lanthimos at the helm, the film has the very best examples of his deadpan dialogue, unsettling atmosphere, and an absolutely surreal sense of dread. Then, Talk to Me ramps up the terror with its supernatural premise: a group of teenagers discovers the unsettling power of an embalmed hand that allows them to communicate with spirits. But when one of them takes things too far, the consequences are horrifying and irreversible.

Director: Akira Kurosawa Run Time: 160 min. Release Year: 1985 Language: Japanese
Starring: Akira Terao, Daisuke Ryū, Jinpachi Nezu, Mieko Harada, Tatsuya Nakadai
The Frida Cinema is proud to present a four night limited engagement of Ran, Akira Kurosawa's final epic masterpiece. Now celebrating its 40th anniversary, we want to thank Rialto Pictures for their stunning new 4K restoration of the film. A grand and visually breathtaking reimagining of Shakespeare’s King Lear, Ran explores themes of power, betrayal, and the devastating consequences of human folly. Set against the backdrop of feudal Japan, Kurosawa employs sweeping landscapes, intricate battle sequences, and vivid color symbolism to create a world teetering on the edge of chaos. Thirty years after its original release, Studiocanal decided to restore Ran in 4K in collaboration with the Japanese company Kadokawa. In 1985, the production of the original film was possible thanks to a French-Japanese collaboration and 30 years later, Studiocanal and Kadokawa replicated this partnership to restore the film. Ran has been restored in 4K by the French laboratory Éclair, under Studiocanal's supervision. Based on an original negative, the majority of the restoration work was done manually, image by image. Color grading was approved by Masaharu Ueda, one of Ran's three cinematographers and a close associate of Kurosawa's.
