SUMMARY:Abel Gance's anti-war epic J'ACCUSE (1919) presented by Silents\, Please! STL
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\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\n“One of the most terrible indictments against war which it is possible to imagine” -Kinematograph Weekly \n\n\n\nFive months after the armistice was signed that ended World War I\, Abel Gance premiered his epic J’ACCUSE in Paris. Many of his Gance’s friends had been killed in the trenches\, and\, as the director later explained\, “J’ACCUSE for me was not just a film…I had a feeling of frenzy to use this new medium\, the cinema\, to show the world the stupidity of war.” And show it he did\, with the vibrant style and epic scope that defines the work of this brilliant early-film auteur. The main story is a love triangle between Jean\, a pacifist poet\, who’s in love with Edith\, who is in turn unhappily married to François\, a brutish provincial farmer. When war is declared\, both men join the army\, serving in the same frontline regiment. Battling the Germans together\, Jean and François reach an uneasy truce \, but back at home\, Edith is put in harm’s way due to her husband’s jealous suspicions. The film was incorporates real battle footage\, as well as actual letters sent home by two of Gance’s friends who died in the war. J’ACCUSE’s celebrated “Return of the Dead” sequence was filmed using 2\,000 soldiers on leave. The film remains a blistering indictment of war that sadly resonates to this day. \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:EMANON (1987) presented by St. Louis Video Society
DESCRIPTION:SAINT LOUIS VIDEO SOCIETY digs deep in its extensive archives to present the weirdest\, wildest\, most incredible VHS obscurities. Always free\, always presented by Video Society archivist James Milam! \n\n\n\nWhat is Emanon? Or rather\, WHO is EMANON?! Why he’s a magical\, mysterious homeless man played by writer/director Stuart Paul in one of the most bizarre vanity projects ever conceived. This “modern-day wino Christ” (LA Weekly) must help a very wealthy\, sick child (Growing Pains‘ Jeremy Miller) and his fashion-designer mom overcome the grief of losing a loved one. Not one to shy away from savior vibes\, the titular Emanon makes messianic mischief as he spouts half-baked\, New Age psychobabble\, all while saving the family’s floundering fashion business. The film itself is a family affair with not just one\, but SIX (!) Pauls working in front of\, and behind\, the camera–including Baby Geniuses franchise producer Steven Paul. They’re practically the Osmonds with so much talent in their DNA! \n\n\n\nEMANON (1987) has never been released on DVD\, Blu-ray or streaming\, so this is a once in lifetime chance to catch the film on VHS at Arkadin on Monday November 10th at 7pm! \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:MARKETA LAZAROVÁ (1967) presented by Lost in the Arthouse
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\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“Marketa Lazarová sweeps us up in a sort of rapture before we even get our feet on the ground. František Vláčil directs with a symphonic variation of tone and pace\, moving with assurance from the frenetic to the contemplative\, the horrific to the erotic.” – Tom Gunning \n\n\n\nIn its native land\, František Vláčil’s MARKETA LAZAROVÁ has been hailed as the greatest Czech film ever made in a poll of over 100 Czech film critics. For those outside of Czechia who’ve yet to discover it\, the film is a revelation. Based on a novel by Vladislav Vančura\, this stirring and poetic depiction of a feud between two rival medieval clans is a fierce\, epic\, and meticulously designed evocation of the clashes between Christianity and paganism\, humankind and nature\, love and violence. Vláčil’s approach was to re-create the textures and mentalities of a long-ago way of life\, rather than to make a conventional historical drama\, and the result is dazzling. With its inventive widescreen cinematography\, editing\, and sound design\, MARKETA LAZAROVÁ is an experimental action film. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s month-long series KNIGHTY KNIGHT\, featuring knights in shining armor and other medieval tales! \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:Ida Lupino's gripping noir classic THE HITCH-HIKER (1953)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Absolutely assured in her creation of the bleak\, noir atmosphere – whether in the claustrophobic confines of the car\, or lost in the arid expanses of the desert – Lupino never relaxes the tension for one moment… Taut\, tough\, and entirely without macho-glorification\, it’s a gem\, with first-class performances from its three protagonists\, deftly characterised without resort to cliché.” – Time Out Film Guide \n\n\n\nAn A-List actress-turned-independent writer\, producer\, and director\, Ida Lupino is one of the few female filmmakers to have worked in 1950s Hollywood. But her films are not just “famous firsts” — they’re tough\, raw\, sensitive and totally fresh. Unlike anything else being made at the time\, Lupino’s directorial efforts “represent”—as no less an authority than Martin Scorsese put it—”a singular achievement in American cinema.” And there’s no better example of Lupino’s muscular work than her legendary noir-thriller\, THE HITCH-HIKER. Based on true events\, the film takes us on the vacation from hell\, as businessmen Edmond O’Brien and Frank Lovejoy\, on their way to do some fishing\, pick up the wrong guy: psychopath William Talman. A major influence on films like The Hitcher\, THE HITCH-HIKER is a “tension-packed tour de force” (Ronnie Scheib). No wonder it was Lupino’s personal favorite of her films. \n\n\n\n\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:EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE!: DOGGIEWOGGIEZ! POOCHIEWOOCHIEZ! (2012) -- Friday Night WTF -- $5
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday Night WTF screenings are cheap\, weird\, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces\, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests\, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night. \n\n\n\n“Holy f*cking sh*t\, this is insane” – Sally Jane Black \n\n\n\nIf you’re familiar with Everything Is Terrible!’s crate-digging mastery\, you have some idea what you’re in for. If you don’t\, strap in and get ready to blast off to the deepest\, darkest corners of our brain-bleeding collective unconscious. Those krazed VHS-hunting pupz from Everything Is Terrible! (everyone’s favorite found footage chop shoppe) are back with their third inner-eye-opening feature\, containing a feat never before attempted in either human or canine history. EIT! asks but two simple questions: 1. “What if we make a movie composed ENTIRELY out of dog-related found footage?”\, and 2. “What if this magickal movie\, made up of thousands of other dog movies\, is also a remake of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 1973 masterpiece The Holy Mountain?” Well\, let’s stop asking dumb rhetorical questions because this never-ending spiral of World-Pup winning\, sunglasses-wearing\, murder-solving\, skateboarding pooches is real! \n\n\n\nWe’ll also be presenting some of our favorite Everything Is Terrible! short-form content before the madness of Doggiewoggiez commences.

SUMMARY:LEGEND (1985) w/ Bryan Ferry pre-show @ 6:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A truly Freudian fairytale…exudes a disorientating\, almost druggy\, other-worldliness.” – Telegraph \n\n\n\nAfter changing the face of science fiction cinema forever with Alien and Blade Runner\, director Ridley Scott turned his visionary eye to the fantasy genre\, teaming with writer William Hjortsberg (Angel Heart) to create a breathtaking cinematic fairytale with one of the screen’s most astonishingly rendered depictions of Evil. A baby-faced Tom Cruise plays pure-hearted Jack\, who takes his true love Princess Lili (Mia Sara) to see a pair of unicorns frolicking at the forest’s edge. Little do they know\, however\, that the Lord of Darkness (Tim Curry\, delivering a truly majestic camp-devil performance underneath a metric ton of make-up designed by The Thing maestro Rob Bottin) has dispatched his minions to capture the unicorns and sever their horns so that he may plunge the world into everlasting night. After Lili and the unicorns are taken prisoner\, Jack must team with a group of forest creatures and descend into Darkness’ subterranean lair to face off against the devilish creature before it is too late.  \n\n\n\nDespite a troubled production in which the elaborate full-size forest set was accidentally incinerated and a lengthy post-production that resulted in multiple versions of the film\, LEGEND has been embraced as a cult classic and remains one of the most immersive and truly gorgeous fantasy worlds ever created on screen. We will be presenting the film in its original U.S. theatrical cut\, complete with the Tangerine Dream score and climactic Bryan Ferry power ballad that American Legend fans know and love. \n\n\n\nAnd speaking of Bryan Ferry\, come out early for a Ferry pre-show starting at 6:30 pm\, featuring some of the suave crooner’s finest tunes\, both as a solo artist and as front man for the immortal Roxy Music.  \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s month-long series KNIGHTY KNIGHT\, featuring knights in shining armor and other medieval tales! \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 MENU (2022) presented by Dark Dream Cinema
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\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“Director Mark Mylod satirizes a very specific kind of elitism here with his wildly over-the-top depiction of the gourmet food world.” Christy Lemire\, RogerEbert.com \n\n\n\nAt $1250 a head\, an evening at Hawthorne is an indulgence par excellence\, promising the meal of a lifetime for the most discerning of palates. However\, tonight’s meal is unique\, serving up curated courses for a handpicked cross-section of the elite; and when one patron finds herself an unwelcome guest\, it’s clear that there’s more to the menu than meets the eye. Combining the scathing satire of American Psycho with the back-of-house drama of The Bear\, The Menu skewers the world of fine dining with an insider’s knowing eye. Presenting the 1% from the perspective of the staff that serves them\, it’s a slow build that takes its time to show its hand\, setting all the pieces in place before yanking the tablecloth away. Get a head start on the holidays with this delicious morsel of 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:GHOST IN THE SHELL (1995) -- 30th Anniversary Screening presented by Strange Brew
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\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\nGhost in the Shell (1995) is set in a fictional 2029 in which cybernetic technology allows for the human body to be fully replaced with mechanical body parts and lets the brain connect directly to the internet. Major Motoko Kusanagi is the cyborg leader of Public Security Section 9 in Japan. The Major and her team are investigating a highly advanced artificial intelligence known as the Puppet Master that can “ghost hack” cyberized bodies. As the Major gets closer to catching the puppet master\, she struggles with a philosophical debate about the very nature of consciousness and the soul. \n\n\n\nAdapted from the manga by Masamune Shirow\, Ghost in the Shell was a Japanese British international co-production from  Kodansha\, Bandai Visual and Manga Entertainment\, all who were looking to create an anime film as critically acclaimed and successful as the groundbreaking Akira. The film originally failed to recoup its budget during its theatrical release\, but soon gained a massive cult following when it was released on VHS\, becoming the first Japanese film ever to top the Billboard video sales chart in 1996. Now Ghost in the Shell is widely regarded as a masterpiece\, with praise for director Mamoru Oshii for his “thermo-optical camouflage” animation and a memorable score by Kenji Kawai. The film launched a franchise that includes multiple sequels\, television series and a live-action Hollywood remake\, as well as having a massive influence on the Wachowskis when they created The Matrix. \n\n\n\nWith AI technology playing an increasingly large and disruptive role in our society\, Ghost in the Shell has never been a more relevant film to reexamine than today. Don’t miss this 30th anniversary screening presented by Strange Brew celebrating one of the most acclaimed sci-fi anime films of all time.  \n\n\n\nThe film will be presented in its dubbed version. \n\n\n\nA Ghost in the Shell – Tachikomatic Days preshow will begin at 6:25 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.
