A kaleidoscopic epic of reincarnation, resistance, and radical empathy, Cloud Atlas is a cinematic experience unlike any other—bold, operatic, and unafraid to leap across time, space, and genre. Directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski (The Matrix) and Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run), this genre-bending adaptation of David Mitchell’s novel connects six interwoven stories across centuries, from a 19th-century Pacific voyage to a post-apocalyptic future.
With an ensemble cast led by Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Doona Bae, and Jim Broadbent—each playing multiple roles across timelines—the film explores how a single act of kindness (or cruelty) ripples across history. It’s a puzzle box of narratives that coalesce into a transcendent meditation on freedom, identity, and the eternal struggle between oppression and liberation.

Can’t decide between a classic Godzilla film and a cup of Earl Grey tea? Well, you’re in luck! Gorgo, the UK’s legendary contribution to mid-century monstermania, is the latest entry in our Hallucinations series!
Irish fishermen net an enormous lizard off the coast and sell it to a London circus. It’s the biggest thing to hit the city . . . until the little buddy’s mama arrives to take custody! The movie that inspired Spider Man co-creator Steve Ditko’s comic book adaptation, Gorgo is a furious firestorm of reptilian wrath, amplified by the shrieks of the innocent! Oh boy!
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. We invite guests to bond over films that change what we expect from the medium, the world, and themselves. So come early, stay late, make friends, and watch something strange, surprising, or just shamelessly sick.

Join us for an encore of Denis Villeneuve’s epic space odyssey returns to the big screen in its full, awe-inspiring form: a double feature presentation of Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two. Spanning the desolate beauty of Arrakis and the shadowy corridors of interstellar power, this two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert’s legendary sci-fi novel marks a towering cinematic achievement—both a sprawling mythological epic and a hauntingly intimate story of destiny, prophecy, and the terrible price of power.
In Part One, Villeneuve (Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario, Prisoners) introduces us to the dying empire and the doomed House Atreides, torn from their home world and cast into the brutal desert sands of Arrakis—a planet rich in spice and ruled by violence. As Paul (Timothée Chalamet) begins to awaken to visions of the future, Part Two catapults us into a full-scale revolution.
Shot with staggering scale and precision, Dune is modern blockbuster filmmaking at its most operatic. From Hans Zimmer’s thunderous score to Greig Fraser’s otherworldly cinematography, every frame is built for the big screen.
