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.
IFC Center
“Wim Wenders: Portraits Along the Road” begins its run with Alice in the Cities, The Goalie’s Anxiety at the Penalty Kick, a program of his early shorts, Wings of Desire, and, this Sunday, a restoration of the five-hour director’s cut of Until the End of the World.
