“Hungary’s third ever full-length animated feature is a true curio and a work of minor genius: a gallopingly neurotic modernist-psychedelic musical from 1979 that bubbles and pulsates with anxieties about modernity… The crazed energy is irresistible” – The Guardian

Bubble Bath is the bohemian animated love child of Bill Plympton and Ralph Bakshi, touching on a wide range of styles from 1920s Art Deco to 1960s Psychedelia and 1970s louche Roxy Music-style decadence. This idiosyncratic musical from Hungarian director György Kovásznai is an indescribably strange, personal and totally irresistible screwball sitcom. A walking ball of anxieties, shop window decorator Zsolt is like a stoned hippie alleycat, or an Eastern European Frank Zappa in a tux; medical student Anikó a more curvaceous post-modern Betty Boop — and both unsure of their attraction to each other, of the choices they’ve made, of what life has in store for them.

Each month, DRAWN VISIONS presents an outré gem from the wild, wonderful world of animation. Focusing on the strange, the underseen, and the unclassifiable, this series proves cartoons aren’t just for kids, they’re for total freaks too!

Jean Harlow & Clark Gable in RED DUST (1932) presented by Forbidden Hollywood
2025-08-04 19:00 - 21:00
BUY TICKETS

Forbidden Hollywood is a monthly series hosted by STL film critic Katie Carter celebrating the Pre-Code films of the early 1930s, when movies were wild, racy, transgressive, and tons of fun.

Among the steamiest of the love-in-the-tropics dramas that were a brief fad during Hollywood’s pre-Code era, Victor Fleming’s Red Dust centers around a love triangle involving macho plantation manager Dennis Carson (Clark Gable), brassy prostitute Vantine (Jean Harlow), and prim Barbara (Mary Astor), an engineer’s wife joining her husband on a job in French Indochina whose arrival quickly explodes Dennis’ personal rule: no women. Red Dust’s frank embrace of extramarital relationships, highlighted by Harlow’s topless rain barrel bath scene and made more pungent by the movie’s sweaty atmosphere, caused little stir with the censors on its release, serving as a sharp indicator of the level of mature content prevalent in films at the time.

THE CHASE (1994) w/ 1994 Punk Music Video Pre-show @ 6:30 presented by Strange Brew
2025-08-06 19:00 - 21:00
BUY TICKETS

This film is presented by St. Louis’s long-running cult film series Strange Brew — winner of the 2025 A-List Award for Best Movie Night in St. Louis. Strange Brew programmer Jon Scorfina will provide an introduction.

Charlie Sheen stars as a wrongly-convicted prison escapee named Jack Hammond who accidentally kidnaps wealthy heiress Natalie Voss (Kristy Swanson) while trying to flee the police in the underrated action comedy film The Chase (1994). As Jack tries to escape down a southern California highway to Mexico, an elaborate car chase unfolds fueled by a manic tabloid reporter trying desperately to capture the story. Soon Jack is being pursued by cops being filmed for a documentary, crazed paparazzi and bonehead vigilantes looking to be TV stars.

The Chase is nearly all car chase for its entire run time. It was a modest success during its original release in March 1994, capitalizing on the popularity of the action and car chase genres during the decade. The soundtrack features high-adrenaline tracks from SoCal punk bands NOFX, The Offspring, Bad Religion and Rollins Band, and is a great encapsulation of ’94 punk right as it was breaking into the mainstream.

Coincidentally, the film gained renewed attention later that year when O.J. Simpson was infamously chased down the Los Angeles freeway in his White Bronco by the L.A.P.D. all while being filmed by a news helicopter.

The Chase would go on to garner a cult following for its satire on tabloid media and cop TV shows, as well as for its cameos from alternative rock luminaries Henry Rollins as over-enthusiastic police officer Dobbs and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis and Flea as monster truck driving vigilantes Will and Dale.

A 1994 Punk Music Video Pre-Show will start at 6:30 pm.

Dark Dream Cinema is a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene, hosted by Michael Morlaine.

“One of the most powerful films of 1968 and one of the greatest directorial debuts of all time.” – Quentin Tarantino

When an aging classic horror star agrees to a public swan song at his final film premiere, he unwittingly crosses paths with a damaged young man hellbent on revenge. By the time the smoke clears, both of their lives will have been changed forever. Occupying a singular place in horror history, Peter Bogdanovich’s Targets sketched out the genre’s future while paying respects to its past. Featuring Boris Karloff in his last American role, this subversive classic served as the nexus point between the gothic horrors of yore and the prosaic horrors of now, proving unexpectedly prescient by rooting itself in the everyday violence of the ‘60s. Criminally underseen to this day, Targets has only sharpened its edge as time has proven its mettle.

Werner Herzog's AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD (1972) -- ʟᴏsᴛ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʀᴛʜᴏᴜsᴇ
2025-08-10 15:00 - 17:00
BUY TICKETS

“One of the great haunting visions of the cinema…What Herzog sees in the story, I think, is what he finds in many of his films: Men haunted by a vision of great achievement, who commit the sin of pride by daring to reach for it, and are crushed by an implacable universe.” – Roger Ebert

In the mid-16th century, after annihilating the Incan empire, Pizarro leads his army of conquistadors over the Andes into the heart of the most savage environment on earth in search of the fabled city of gold, El Dorado. As the soldiers battle starvation, Indians, the forces of nature, and each other, Don Lope de Aguirre (Klaus Kinski), “The Wrath of God,” is consumed with visions of conquering all of South America and revolts, leading his own army down a treacherous river on a doomed quest into oblivion. Featuring a seething, controlled-chaos turn from legendary madman Klaus Kinski and set to a soul-stirring score by Krautrock band Popol Vuh, this masterpiece from director Werner Herzog is an unforgettable portrait of madness and power.

LOST IN THE ARTHOUSE is a monthly series that takes you to hidden corners of filmdom far from the glitz and glamor of Hollywood. From must-see classics to obscurities waiting to be discovered, these films stand at cinema’s bleeding edge.

This film is presented by Silents, Please! STL and will feature a special introduction from SPSTL’s Kate Stewart.

Celebrate the glory of silent cinema’s greatest clown, as Silents, Please! presents BUSTERPALOOZA!

Often cited as one of his most significant films—as well as one of his funniest—1923’s Our Hospitality is his take on the notorious feud between the Hatfield and McCoy clans (here renamed the Canfields and the McKays). Keaton is luckless William McKay, who must journey down South to view his lacklustre inheritance, only to be seduced along the way by one of the Canfields, Virginia, who lures him to her family’s house so that the men of the clan can shoot him down. But William knows that the Canfield men won’t kill him as long as he’s in their house, so he endeavors to stay put there, against all obstacles. With its attention to 19th-century period detail and emphasis on integrating the gags into the storyline, Our Hospitality was not just a breakthrough in Keaton’s career, but it was also noted even during its release as an advancement in the medium, with Variety proclaiming, “It marks a step forward in the production of picture comedies.”

Plus, a selection of Buster Keaton’s finest and funniest shorts!

Czech gothic fairy-tale horror BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1979) -- ғᴏʟᴋ ʜᴏʀʀᴏʀ ᴀʀᴏᴜɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ

“Fairy tale becomes macabre, visceral horror in this superb Czech version of the story.” – Close-Up Film

From the rich and textured imagination of Czechoslovak visionary Juraj Herz (The Cremator) comes a gothic-horror reimagining of the classic fairy tale in Beauty and the Beast. Alson known as “The Virgin and the Monster,” this unnerving dark fantasy follows the innocent Julie (Zdena Studenková) who spares her father’s (Václav Voska) life by agreeing to live under the watchful eye of a bird-like monster, a macabre and elusive figure torn between his growing affection for the young beauty and his animalistic urge to kill. Gorgeously shot, intriguingly surreal, thrillingly sensual, Beauty and the Beast is unlike any adaptation you’ve seen before. Miles away from the frolicsome family-friendliness of Walt Disney or the opulent fantasia of Renoir’s version, Herz’s muddy, decaying vision is very much its own Beast.

Each month, Arkadin presents a selection of FOLK HORROR AROUND THE WORLD, creepy folktales from all corner of the globe to give you the Sunday scaries.

He baffles science! He confounds medicine! Submitted for your approval, the strange story of Scott Carey – an ordinary young man who, through an extraordinary set of circumstances, becomes The Incredible Shrinking Man!

Directed by the prolific creature-feature impresario Jack Arnold with ingenious optical effects and a transcendent metaphysical ending, The Incredible Shrinking Man gazes with wonder and trepidation into the unknowable vastness of the cosmic void.
