Since any New York City cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it’d be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city’s most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you’re not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we’re of the mind that it’s time extremely well-spent.
BAMcinématek
This is the final weekend for marathon screenings of Out 1. We highly recommend taking the plunge.
Museum of the Moving Image
“Lonely Places: Film Noir and the American Landscape” highlights a different atmosphere of the noir picture, and it makes its case with some great films. Out of the Past shows on Friday; Saturday offers Ophüls‘ The Reckless Moment and Aldrich‘s Kiss Me Deadly; Sunday, one can see Nightmare Alley, The Amazing Mr. X, and an encore of the Tourneur picture.
Museum of Modern Art
“To Save and Project” continues, with Fellini‘s Amarcord on Friday and Akerman‘s Jeanne Dielman and Je, tu, il, elle showing on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
