Upcoming Films in this Series
RONIN
(1998, 35mm, 122m) dir John Frankenheimer w/Robert De Niro, Sean Bean, Jean Reno. This late Frankenheimer gem puts U.S. intelligence agent Sam (De Niro) in the crosshairs of both the Russians and the Irish as the double-crosses pile atop one another. A return to form for the director, this gritty espionage actioner boasts one of cinema’s most stunning car chases. FRI/SAT 7:00 SUN 3:00
DOUBLE TEAM
(1997, 35mm, 93m) dir Hark Tsui w/Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dennis Rodman, Mickey Rourke. Van Damme and Rodman team up in this . . . you know what? Who cares! We get to see Van Damme fight a tiger, and the absurd climax unfolds at the, um, “Colosseum.” FRI/SAT 9:30 SUN 5:30
A BIGGER SPLASH
(1973, DCP, 106m) dir Jack Hazan w/David Hockney, Peter Schlesinger, Celia Birtwell. After his lover leaves him, British artist David Hockney is unable to paint. He sinks into depression, only to find new inspiration in his swimming pool. Once dismissed for its gay content and its blurring of fact and fiction, A Bigger Splash is ready for reevaluation. FRI 7:00 SAT 7:00 9:15 SUN 3:00 5:15
UP ALL NIGHT AT THE TRYLON

BLAST OF SILENCE
Trylon Roadshow at the Heights Theater (1961, 35mm, 77m) dir Allen Barron w/Allen Barron, Larry Tucker. This smoke-stained Christmas card about a depressed hit man prowling New York is as bleak as they come. Frankie Bono is in from Cleveland to deliver a hit, and spends his time brooding over past traumas while stalking his prey, and ends up at Christmas gathering that upends his determination. Torn between finally living a life of meagre emotional connection and his commitment to…
THE RULES OF THE GAME
(1939, 35mm, 110m, French with English subtitles) dir Jean Renoir w/Nora Gregor, Marcel Dalio, Mila Parély. A scathing critique of bourgeois manners, The Rules of the Game was the costliest French film made up to that time. A critical and box office disaster when first released, it is now considered one of the finest films ever made. It’s also ideal for putting New Year’s parties into context. TUE 7:00 WED 2:00 4:30
GUMMO
(1997, 35mm, 89m) dir Harmony Korine w/Nick Sutton, Jacob Reynolds, Chloë Sevigny. Witness the doing-nothing routines of bored youths in tornado-stricken Xenia, Ohio. Shot in various formats and riddled with venomous acts, Gummo is not for the faint of heart. FRI/SAT 7:00 9:00 SUN 3:00 5:00
CRY DANGER
(1951, DCP, 79m) dir Robert Parrish w/Dick Powell, Rhonda Fleming, Richard Erdman. Five years into Rocky’s (Powell) jail term, a man turns up to provide an alibi. But the man is lying, hoping to score a share of the money Rocky didn't steal in the first place. Now he has to find the real culprit before it's too late. FRI/SAT 7:00 8:45 SUN 3:00 4:45
DOWNTOWN 81
(1981, 35mm, 72m) dir Edo Bertoglio w/Jean Michel Basquiat, John Lurie. Revisit the bygone grit and wild style of New York City’s early 1980s avant-garde art and music scenes. This rarely screened gem visits the Trylon in a brand-new 35mm print. FRI/SAT 7:00 8:45 SUN 3:00 4:30
