Our recent recommendations for Sidney & Eden
Free entry! Unfairly underrated cyberpunk noir, sure to satisfy your Neuromancer cine-fetish way more than anything in the Matrix franchise (or that Johnny Mnemonic misfire). Jack back into NYE 1999, where tapeheads trade memory playbacks on the black market, ultraviolence rules the day, and everyone’s still in love with Juliette Lewis.
Grindhouse Cinema Club Presents: Strange Days FREE ENTRY!
Free entry! Grindhouse gifts us some wickedly entertaining anti-Christmas cult cinema in the shape of darkly comic Finnish action-horror Rare Exports. A smart and subversive twist on Nordic lore and Yuletide tradition, and gruesome enough to send Krampus behind the sofa.
Grindhouse Cinema Club Presents: Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale FREE ENTRY!
Free entry! Robert Mitchum in his preacher’s outfit with LOVE and HATE tattooed across his knuckles is one of the most enduring icons of evil in all of cinema. Noir to the core, bordering on gothic, The Night of the Hunter is a mesmerising and nightmarish slice of backwater Americana that feels like a 50s prelude to the David Lynch oeuvre.
There’s no other film quite like The Night of the Hunter (1955).
Free entry! “The most poignant, disturbing and frighteningly real film about race relations ever made by a Black American filmmaker”: Do The Right Thing is the masterwork that cemented Spike Lee as a visionary force in US cinema. A slice-of-life hangout movie meets searing tragicomedy that follows communities clashing and combusting in the blistering heat of 1980s Brooklyn – it’s well and truly timeless.
The Indie Classics Film Club returns Tuesday June 17th with a screening of Spike Lee’s magnum opus, DO THE RIGHT THING (1989).
Free entry! Lynch flips the true story of John Merrick into a daringly emotive parable of unrequited humanity for the ultimate Victorian Other. It’s perhaps the most potent ray of tender sentimentality in the nightmare king’s oeuvre - not to be missed from your period of mourning!
