SUMMARY:TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: THE CRITTERS CUT presented by Strange Brew
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStrange Brew cult movies presents one of the most bizarre double features ever conceived: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Critters Cut\, coming to Arkadin Cinema for one night only on Saturday\, May 2.  \n\n\n\nTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Critters have been combined into one giant supercut full of surprises. “Where do they come up with this stuff?” \n\n\n\nTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles adapts the popular Eastman and Laird underground comic book following the adventures of four mutated turtles living in the sewers of NYC as they try to rescue their master\, a rat name Splinter who raised them and trained them in martial arts\, against their arch-rival\, the Shredder\, and his criminal organization\, the Foot Clan. Directed by Steve Barron\, the film features Jim Henson’s final costume designs made before his death. The film was a huge box office success during its original release in 1990 and held the record for highest grossing independent film for nearly a decade.   \n\n\n\nCritters finds a group of small\, fluffy alien monsters called Krites landing in a rural Kansas town\, terrorizing a family’s farm house. The Krites are followed by a shapeshifting bounty hunter who poses as a new wave rocker named Johnny Steele. Critters\, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year\, inspired a franchise of four more horror comedy sequels. \n\n\n\nTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – The Critters Cut was conceived and edited by Jon Scorfina of Strange Brew and Michael Morlaine of Dark Dream Cinema. Toy Division STL will have a Ninja Turtle Pop-up Toy Shop in the Arkadin Lobby starting at 6:30 pm.  \n\n\n\nThis 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:Animated psychedelic screwball classic ALLEGRO NON TROPPO (1976) -- New 2K Restoration!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The film\, a feature length parody of Disney’s Fantasia\, is a masterpiece unto itself – and if you haven’t seen it you are required to attend.” – Jerry Beck\, Cartoon Brew \n\n\n\nAn enterprising producer believes he has hit upon a winning concept: a program of original animated shorts set to classical music. Undeterred by warnings that this has already been done by an American named…uhh…”Prisney\,” he rallies an orchestra of geriatric women\, a bullish conductor\, and an animator that he keeps locked in the dungeon. A gleeful sendup of Disney’s Fantasia\, Allegro Non Troppo blends live-action slapstick with cheeky animation for a film as joyful and raunchy as it is thoughtful and cutting. Witness a new civilization spring into being from the residue in a soda pop bottle left behind by space travelers\, an aging satyr struggle to recapture the vitality of his distant youth\, a telling of the Adam and Eve story that’s miles away from anything ever taught in Sunday school\, and many other churlish and cheeky delights besides in this best-known work from Italian psychedelic screwball maestro Bruno Bozetto\, newly restored and celebrating its 50th anniversary. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of TWISTED DISNEY\, a three-film micro series featuring a parody\, an alternate take\, and a look at the underbelly of the sprawling House of Mouse. \n\n\n\nEach 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! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films.

SUMMARY:THE MONSTER (2016) presented by Dark Dream Cinema
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDark Dream Cinema is a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene\, hosted by Michael Morlaine. \n\n\n\n“A delightfully bloody\, straightforward creature feature that contains spectacular practical creature effects worthy of widespread recognition.” – Certified Forgotten \n\n\n\nWhile delivering her daughter Lizzy to a new life with her dad\, struggling addict Kathy collides with a wolf in the middle of the road\, in the middle of the woods\, in the middle of the night. And thus she finds herself stranded\, with no one around\, and something vicious in the dark. In no time at all\, a ride with her daughter becomes a night of survival\, as they find themselves hunted by a monster they can barely see\, but who can see them just fine. \n\n\n\nRocking the cathartic-horror trend better than most of its contemporaries\, this here-and-gone A24 thriller found the exact middle ground between grim family drama and kickass creature feature. Boiling it down to the bare essentials—darkness\, the woods\, a broken-down car\, a kid\, a mom\, and a monster—it deals in the symbolic horror of the 2010s while delivering a high-octane pulverizer that’s as heavy on the action as it is the emotional heft. This one’ll strip your nerves raw\, and leave you shivering in its wake. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films.

SUMMARY:The Marx Brothers in ANIMAL CRACKERS (1930) w/ Groucho pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Unrelentingly hilarious! It’s so difficult to quantify just the anarchy and undeniable joy that comes from watching the Marx Brothers at the top of their game. There are few essential pleasures on this planet; Animal Crackers is one.” – Pre-Code.com \n\n\n\nFilled with comedy sketches\, musical numbers and plenty of gags\, ANIMAL CRACKERS is the first film to truly capture the Marx Brothers’ anarchic spirit and remains one of their most quotable works. Groucho stars as the original Captain Spaulding—decades before the name was repurposed by Rob Zombie for a murderous clown. Spaulding is a famed African explorer being honored at a high society party at the estate of Mrs. Rittenhouse (ur-dowager Margaret Dumont)\, but mayhem and chaos ensue after a valuable painting disappears and Spaulding\, along with the Professor (Harpo)\, Signore Emanuel Ravelli (Chico) and Horatio (Zeppo) “help” search for it. Highlighted by musical performances including “Hooray for Captain Spaulding\,” which would later become the theme song to Groucho’s popular TV series You Bet Your Life\, ANIMAL CRACKERS may just be Groucho’s finest hour. \n\n\n\nThe film will be preceded by a Groucho Marx pre-show starting at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Louise Brooks in PANDORA'S BOX (1929) presented by Silents\, Please! STL
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis film is presented by Silents\, Please! STL and will feature a special introduction from SPSTL’s Kate Stewart. \n\n\n\nOne of the masters of early German cinema\, G. W. Pabst had an innate talent for discovering actresses (including Greta Garbo). And perhaps none of his female stars shone brighter than Kansas native and onetime Ziegfeld girl Louise Brooks\, whose legendary persona was defined by Pabst’s lurid\, controversial melodrama Pandora’s Box. Sensationally modern\, the film follows the downward spiral of the fiery\, brash\, yet innocent showgirl Lulu\, whose sexual vivacity has a devastating effect on everyone she comes in contact with. Daring and stylish\, Pandora’s Box is one of silent cinema’s great masterworks and a testament to Brooks’s dazzling individuality. (Janus Films) \n\n\n\nRestored from the best surviving 35mm elements at Haghefilm Conservation under the supervision of the Deutsche Kinemathek with the cooperation of George Eastman Museum\, the Cinémathèque Française\, Cineteca di Bologna\, Národní filmový archiv\, and Gosfilmofond. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:ALL ABOUT LILY CHOU-CHOU (2001) presented by Lost in the Arthouse
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLOST IN THE ARTHOUSE is a monthly series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Keith Watson that takes you to hidden corners of filmdom far from Hollywood. From must-see classics to obscurities waiting to be discovered\, these films stand at cinema’s bleeding edge. \n\n\n\n“Shunji Iwai’s spacey\, torpid dream-epic of youthful angst and escapism in modern Japan: it stays with you.” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nWhen it appeared 25 years ago\, most critics weren’t sure what to make of Shunji Iwai’s ALL ABOUT LILY CHOU-CHOU. Its jagged\, dreamy exploration of pop fandom\, online identity\, and adolescent angst was perhaps too up-to-the-minute for writers still being published in print newspapers. But for younger audiences who’ve grown up on the internet\, LILY CHOU-CHOU speaks to them on an almost subliminal level. No wonder\, it’s one of Letterboxd’s top 20 films by “heart rate” (the ratio of likes to watches). Iwai’s film follows the online and IRL lives of a group of teenagers who worship the eponymous pop idol\, an ethereal Bjork-like chanteuse whose music provides the only real escape from the cruelties\, large and small\, they face in their daily lives. Through an online message board devoted to Lily Chou-Chou\, they find connection while their non-digital reality drives them further and further apart. Scored to the music of Lily (actually\, singer Salyu)\, Iwai’s lyrical film leads to a heart-rending crescendo. \n\n\n\nThis screening is part of Arkadin’s May 2026 series\, THE COMPUTER IS MY FRENEMY\, featuring films that explore our collective love-hate relationship with the digital world. Does the internet truly bring us together or only tear us further apart? Find out this month! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis screening is part of Arkadin’s May 2026 series\, THE COMPUTER IS MY FRENEMY\, featuring films that explore our collective love-hate relationship with the digital world.

SUMMARY:Rare Soviet adaptation of 'Beauty and the Beast' folktale THE SCARLET FLOWER (1978) -- $3!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Hypnotic\, oneiric… surreal images that call to mind Wojciech Has’s The Hourglass Sanatorium (1973) in their occult mystery.” – Midnight Only \n\n\n\nA folkloric fever dream\, Irina Povolotskaya’s THE SCARLET FLOWER turns Russia’s own “Beauty and the Beast” story into a lush\, dreamlike spectacle. A merchant’s brave daughter trades her freedom for a magical blossom and finds herself in the enchanted domain of a fearsome\, tormented creature. With a creature that’s less Disney and more Swamp Thing\, this eerie\, stylized fable sits somewhere between storybook coziness and uncanny nightmare. Packed with live‑action pageantry\, glowing colors\, and theatrical fantasy\, this is a strange\, woozy folk romance that rivals even Jean Cocteau and Juraj Herz—not to mention the Walt Disney Company—for stunningly surreal imagery. \n\n\n\nPlus\, to round out the “twisted Disney” them\, a bizarre Pinocchio surprise short! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of TWISTED DISNEY\, a three-film micro series featuring a parody\, an alternate take\, and a look at the underbelly of the sprawling House of Mouse. \n\n\n\nEach 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:Michael Crichton's WESTWORLD (1973) -- ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅꜱ
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“An efficiently unsettling prediction of the horrors that artificial intelligence would bringThe androids of Westworld are so lifelike because humans want to enact their darkest impulses on to other humans\, however much they suppress these latent desires.” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nBoy\, have we got a vacation for you… In 1973\, novelist-turned-filmmaker Michael Crichton made his directorial debut with WESTWORLD\, a groundbreaking fusion of science fiction and action-thriller that would prove decades ahead of its time\, laying the groundwork for his later hit Jurassic Park and changing the face of sci-fi. Set in a futuristic resort where wealthy vacationers can live out their wildest fantasies in hyper-realistic theme parks\, the film stars Yul Brynner as the Gunslinger\, an android cowboy who goes dangerously off-script\, turning old buddies Peter (Richard Benjamin) and John’s (James Brolin) dream holiday into a nightmare. Slick\, suspenseful\, and eerily prescient\, WESTWORLD combines a gripping man-versus-machine chase with thought-provoking questions about technology\, control\, and the price of playing God. Packed with atmosphere and memorable performances\, this cult classic remains a landmark in genre cinema\, a high-tech nightmare that never loses its bite. \n\n\n\nThis screening is part of Arkadin’s May 2026 series\, THE COMPUTER IS MY FRENEMY\, featuring films that explore our collective love-hate relationship with the digital world. Does the internet truly bring us together or only tear us further apart? Find out this month! \n\n\n\nOTHER WORLDS brings you to strange new realms through science fiction and fantasy.

SUMMARY:DOPE (2015) presented by Strange Brew
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis 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. \n\n\n\nIn Dope (2015)\, Malcolm (Shameik Moore) is a nerdy kid trying to survive high school in “The Bottoms” a tough neighborhood in Inglewood\, California. Malcolm is obsessed with ’90s hip hop and fashion and dreams of going to Harvard University after high school. When Malcolm and his two best friends\, Jib (Tony Revolori) and Diggy (Kiersey Clemons)\, get an invite to an underground party by the local drug dealer Dom (A$AP Rocky) their lives get turned upside down when they mistakenly take home a backpack full of drugs.   \n\n\n\nThis low budget coming-of-age film was released in summer 2015\, and though it was critically-praised\, it was mostly overlooked during an era of comic book blockbuster mania. Dope\, directed by Rick Famuyiwa\, is an under-seen gem that captures the essence of classic John Hughes teen dramas like The Breakfast Club mixed with the grit of John Singleton’s Boyz n the Hood but for a Gen Z audience. The film features the debut acting role of Shameik Moore\, as well as a standout performance from Zoë Kravitz\, narration from Forest Whitaker\, original songs by Pharrell\, and a cameo from Blake Anderson of Workaholics. Dope also features a time-capsule subplot involving the rise of Bitcoin just as it was beginning to enter mainstream usage.   \n\n\n\nA ’90s Hip Hop Preshow will start at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:THE BLACKENING (2022) presented by Dark Dream Cinema
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDark Dream Cinema is a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene\, hosted by Michael Morlaine. \n\n\n\n“An unapologetically Black comedy through and through\, it maintains its wit and bite to the very end\, boastfully serving audiences an hilarious film we didn’t know we needed.” – Peyton Robinson\, RogerEbert.com \n\n\n\nWhen confronted with a diabolical board game in the cabin they’ve rented to celebrate Juneteenth\, a crew of old college friends realize they’re stuck in a slasher flick. Armed with their skills\, their wits\, and their knowledge of the genre\, they duke it out ‘til dawn against a legion of stock horror villains determined to take them out one by one. \n\n\n\nA Cabin in the Woods for the Jordan Peele era\, The Blackening sets the record straight on decades of misrepresentation\, while outshining all of its contemporaries with its razor-sharp satirical wit. A loving nod to those who know all the Black horror tropes\, here’s a late-night survival flick in which every character is an audience surrogate\, pissed to find themselves trapped in such a corny premise\, and well aware of what it’ll take to make it through the night. A loving riposte to horror’s most glaring missteps\, The Blackening spins the sins of the genre into one of the most clever horror comedies ever made\, while serving as a celebration of Black joy\, unity\, Rap Snacks\, and not reneging in Spades. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:THE WOLF HOUSE (2018) w/ creepy stop-motion pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A mind-blowing haunted house… Directors Joaquín Cociña and Cristóbal León mingle classic European fairytales in a potpourri of magical notes laden in eeriness… In both concept and execution\, The Wolf House will render you awestruck.” – Carlos Aguilar\, TheWrap \n\n\n\nOne of the most singular and unsettling animated films ever made\, THE WOLF HOUSE is inspired by the real-life case of Colonia Dignidad\, a remote Chilean Nazi sect founded after WWII. Painstakingly animated by Joaquín Cociña and Cristóbal León\, this contemporary cult animation classic is a twisted fairy tale\, combining stop-motion and traditional animation in a dark kaleidoscopic fantasia\, photographed to appear as one continuous shot. Maria\, a young woman\, finds refuge in a house in the south of Chile after escaping from a sect of German religious fanatics. Two pigs\, the only occupants of the house\, welcome her inside. The ever-shifting universe of the house reacts to Maria’s feelings as the animals transform slowly into humans and the house becomes a nightmarish world unto itself. \n\n\n\nCome out for a creepy stop-motion pre-show\, beginning at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\nEach 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! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

STL and will feature a special introduction from SPSTL’s Kate Stewart. \n\n\n\n“Framed by the hauntingly beautiful landscapes of the production\, it leaves an indelible mark on the soul of the viewer.” – Dbcult \n\n\n\nThe earliest surviving film by F. W. Murnau\, JOURNEY INTO THE NIGHT provides a stunning showcase for the German Expressionist maestro’s innovative style.

Conrad Veidt appears in a supporting role as a sinister painter\, whose entrance eerily presages Nosferatu. “This is hypnotic\, immersive cinema.” (David Bordwell) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:INVADERS FROM MARS (1953) -- 4K Restoration!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Achieves a brilliant nightmarish quality by brooding atmosphere and imagery… one of the most unusual films of the fifties.” – The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Movies \n\n\n\nFROM OUT OF SPACE… CAME HORDES OF GREEN MONSTERS!!\n\n\n\nIn the early 1950s\, Cold War tensions and the burgeoning space race created a heady mix of paranoia and unbridled creativity as filmmakers speculated as to the marvels—and horrors—that lay beyond the stars. Among those leading the charge\, William Cameron Menzies’ INVADERS FROM MARS terrified audiences upon its release in 1953 with its chilling vision of an insidious alien attack on small-town Americana. As the aliens make a dad turn against his own son\, it’s the perfect film for Father’s Day! \n\n\n\nOn a dark and stormy night\, a young boy\, David McLean (Jimmy Hunt\, Pitfall)\, observes what appears to be a flying saucer crash-landing in his town. Shortly thereafter\, the grown-ups—including his own parents—begin acting decidedly strangely. Convinced there’s a link between this epidemic of bizarre behavior and what he witnessed that night\, David turns to local health official Dr. Blake (Helena Carter) for help.

SUMMARY:IDIOCRACY (2006) w/ American Idiot 250th Semiquincentennial Pre-show presented by Strange Brew
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A movie that was originally a comedy\, but became a documentary.” – Urban Dictionary \n\n\n\nU.S. Army librarian Joe Bauers (Luke Wilson) takes part in an experimental government hibernation program that goes afoul and results in Joe reawakening five hundred years later in a painfully stupid dystopia in the cult comedy Idiocracy (2006). The inept authorities are unable to identify Joe\, leading to a correctional facility renaming him “Not Sure” before subjecting him to an aptitude test. Despite being of average intelligence in his own time\, he returns the highest IQ in the world from this basic aptitude test in the year 2505. Soon the President of the United States\, Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho (Terry Crews) tasks “Not Sure” with fixing the country’s food supply\, economy and massive dust storms within a week under threat of imprisonment.  \n\n\n\nDirected by Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead\, Office Space)\, Idiocracy was given a limited release by 20th Century Fox in 2006. The studio seemingly intentionally buried the film\, providing virtually no movie trailers\, ads or press kits\, and resulting in a less than $500\,000 box office in its limited theatrical run. However\, the film has since gone on to garner a devoted cult fanbase with its parody of dysgenics\, corporate sponsored politics and anti-intellectualism. Idiocracy also stars Maya Rudolph as Rita the sex worker and Dax Shepard as Frito the Lawyer.    \n\n\n\nAn American Idiot 250th Semiquincentennial Preshow starts at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Steven King's SILVER BULLET (1985) presented by Dark Dream Cinema
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Silver Bullet is a whole ton of fun\, and even though it’s not one of the scariest of werewolf movies\, it’s one of the more memorable ones.” – AV Nirvana \n\n\n\nYoung Marty Coslaw (Corey Haim) has an imagination and a love of life that far outpace his disabled legs. Buddying up with his Uncle Red (Gary Busey\, never better)\, he scores a ride called the Silver Bullet\, which is half wheelchair and half badass motorbike. And just in time\, too\, for his hometown of Tarker’s Mills has become the new stomping ground for a werewolf. Can Marty identify the monster in their midst\, and outrun the devil to get home in time? Based on Stephen King’s Cycle of the Werewolf\, Silver Bullet is one of the most charming entries in King’s storied catalog. Pitched perfectly between heartfelt horror and tongue-in-cheek camp\, it’s a full-moon thrill ride that serves up the scares without ever skimping out on the fun. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Trippy animated classic FANTASTIC PLANET (1973)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Surreal and psychedelic…a counterculture gem!” – Jacob Burns Film Center \n\n\n\nNothing else has ever looked or felt like director René Laloux’s animated marvel Fantastic Planet\, a politically minded and visually inventive work of science fiction. The film is set on a distant planet called Ygam\, where enslaved humans (Oms) are the playthings of giant blue native inhabitants (Draags). After Terr\, kept as a pet since infancy\, escapes from his gigantic child captor\, he is swept up by a band of radical fellow Oms who are resisting the Draags’ oppression and violence. With its eerie\, coolly surreal cutout animation by Roland Topor; brilliant psychedelic jazz score by Alain Goraguer; and wondrous creatures and landscapes\, this Cannes-awarded 1973 counterculture classic is a perennially compelling statement against conformity and violence. \n\n\n\nEach 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! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Barbara Stanwyck in LADIES OF LEISURE (1930) -- $3!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Ladies of Leisure was Barbara Stanwyck’s first collaboration with Frank Capra\, and boy\, with every close-up he gives her through the lens of Joseph Walker’s camera\, you can practically feel Capra basically falling in love with her on the spot…Stanwyck exudes a wide-eyed sense of wonder that is well-nigh irresistible.” – Kenji Fujishima \n\n\n\nBarbara Stanwyck shot to fame thanks to this zippy! peppy! jazzy! gay! romantic dramedy. Stanwyck stars as a a self-described “party girl” bopping around New York City’s nightlife scene on the prowl for a sugar daddy who strikes up a relationship of convenience (and maybe more) with an aspiring painter (Lowell Sherman) from a wealthy family. Directed by Frank Capra\, Ladies of Leisure helped established the legendary director’s socially conscious style\, while also inaugurating a fruitful partnership with his leading lady. Thanks in no small part to a scene of Stanwyck taking a bath\, this early talkie scandalized some of the more prudish regions of the country\, where it was slapped with a “pink ticket\,” restricting attendance to adults only—but that likely only boosted its success! A critical and commercial hit\, Ladies of Leisure is a key early talkie\, notable for its frank treatment of class\, morality\, and female independence in Hollywood’s daring pre-Code era. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Guy Maddin's "hilariously bizarre" CAREFUL (1992) -- new 4K restoration presented by Lost in the Arthouse
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLOST IN THE ARTHOUSE is a monthly series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Keith Watson that takes you to hidden corners of filmdom far from Hollywood. From must-see classics to obscurities waiting to be discovered\, these films stand at cinema’s bleeding edge. \n\n\n\n“Hilariously bizarre… like some lost masterpiece from a time-warped alternative dimension.” – The Washington Post \n\n\n\nArkadin favorite Guy Maddin’s early masterpiece takes place in a 19th-century Alpine village where the wary residents—adult\, child and animal—must speak softly and tread lightly lest they cause an avalanche. But sexual frenzies teem in this world of repression\, setting off incestuous love triangles and quadrangles with deadly consequences. Bathed in lurid\, luminescent tints\, CAREFUL is Maddin’s twisted ode to a largely forgotten film subgenre\, the German “Bergfilme” of the 1920s and ’30s\, which pitted man (and woman) against mountain in epic survivalist adventures. Merging these bygone conventions with Maddin’s own delirious obsessions results in a truly singular work that resembles a vintage melodrama from another planet. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films. Information about content can also be found on Common Sense Media\, IMDB and DoesTheDogDie.com\, as well as through general internet searches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:PSYCHOMANIA (1973) w/ Motorcycle Movie Madness pre-show\, presented by Strange Brew
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis 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. \n\n\n\nThe dead return to life as sadistic bikers in the unhinged\, outlaw British flick Psychomania (1973). A violent biker gang known as The Living Dead dabbles in black magic at The Seven Witches\, a druid circle of seven standing stones in the countryside.  The gang’s leader Tom (Nicky Henson)\, with the help of his mother (Beryl Reid) and her nefarious butler Shadwell (George Sanders in his final role) who both worship a sinister Frog God\, discovers that by committing suicide you can return as an undead\, unkillable meance. Tom uses this knowledge to convince his gang\, including his reluctant girlfriend\, to follow him into death so they can all return as masked bikers with the sole purpose of terrorizing the locals. \n\n\n\nDirected by Hammer veteran Don Sharp\, Psychomania (released in the U.S. as The Death Wheelers) was initially dismissed as a low-budget psychedelic zombie biker frightener with low-ambitions of cultivating an audience. Soon however the film developed a devoted cult following for its legitimately crazy stunt work\, eerie atmosphere\, leather costumes and dark comedy.  It also features a notable soundtrack by British composer John Cameron. \n\n\n\nA Motorcycle Movie Madness Preshow will start at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

You must physically come to the lobby to get your name on the waitlist. Seats are released as they become available. All remaining seats are released at showtime.\n\n\n\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+. We follow the MPAA rating guidelines for all other films.\n\n\n\nTickets can be purchased using the BUY TICKETS link above. Upon ordering\, you will receive a confirmation email from Square. Tickets may also be purchased on the day of the show at the concession counter.\n\n\n\nIf you’ve purchased advance tickets\, when you arrive\, please give your name at the concession counter to check in. \n\n\n\nTickets are returnable by sending a request through the contact form located on our About Us page prior to showtime.\n\n\n\nWhen an event is sold out\, we reserve the right to release open seats to customers on the waitlist. If you have a pre-purchased ticket and arrive late and there is no seat for you\, your ticket will be refunded.\n\n\n\nAll screenings are held in our indoor theater unless indicated otherwise in the event description above.\n\n\n\nPlease respect your fellow movie-goers by remaining quiet and refraining from using your cell phone throughout the screening.
