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.
Metrograph
Alain Corneau’s Série noire has been restored and brought to screens. See the trailer here.
“Welcome to Metrograph: A to Z” has a stacked weekend of Antonioni, Tashlin and more.
House, Mulholland Dr., and Fantastic Planet play late-night, while The Black Stallion screens early.
