We truly thought by now we'd be long past this crisis and normalcy would have been restored. Unfortunately, we all now know the sad truth as new variants have sent many people back to a life of renewed caution and we still need you now, as much as we did a year ago. Movie theater attendance – nationwide – is still down 65%. Those of you who have reestablished your relationship with the movies can likely attest to seeing lower attendance at your screenings. And while we do understand the apprehension some of you have had about returning to indoor events, we worry about how long Salem Cinema can tread water with such a significant fluctuation in attendance.

A meditative, intimate and delicate road movie, DRIVE MY CAR is an emotionally unsparing drama about the communion between people. Two years after his wife's unexpected death, Yusuke Kafuku (Hidetoshi Nishijima), a renowned stage actor and director, receives an offer to direct a production of Uncle Vanya at a theater festival in Hiroshima. There, he meets Misaki Watari (Toko Miura), a brooding young woman assigned by the festival to chauffeur him in his beloved red Saab 900. As the production's premiere approaches, tensions mount amongst the cast and crew, not least between Yusuke and the handsome TV star who shares an unwelcome connection to his late wife. Forced to confront painful truths raised from his past, Yusuke begins – with the help of his driver – to face the haunting mysteries his wife left behind. Director Ryusuke Hamaguchi has crafted a stirring rumination on love, on the barriers we build around us and on the things that we remain tethered to after loss. It is a quiet and exhilarating masterpiece anchored by exquisite performances.

Gorgeously shot and designed, Joel Coen's emotionally energetic and dignified yet deranged adaptation THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH demands BIG SCREEN attention!
|
|
"It is a visually searing tour de force from beginning to end." - Stephen Romel, The Australian
"It's one of the most visually striking and leanest versions of the Scottish play ever put on film, with blockbuster performances from Oscar winners Frances McDormand and Denzel Washington as Lady and Lord Macbeth, and a brilliant supporting cast." - Richard Roeper, Chicago-Sun Times

A work of stark shadow and light clearly intended for big screen viewing, Joel Coen’s daring, inventive visualization of The Scottish Play is an anguished film of incantatory rage that stares, mouth agape, at a sorrowful world undone by blind greed and thoughtless ambition. In meticulously world-weary performances, a strikingly inward Denzel Washington is the man who would be king and an effortlessly Machiavellian Frances McDormand is his Lady, a couple driven to political assassination — and deranged by guilt — after they are approached with the cunning prognostications of a trio of weird sisters (a virtuoso physical inhabitation by Kathryn Hunter). Though it echoes some of the forbidding visual designs of past productions, Coen’s tale of sound and fury is entirely his own — and undoubtedly one for our moment, a frightening depiction of amoral political power-grabbing that, like its hero, ruthlessly barrels ahead into the inferno. THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH is a bold and fierce tale of murder, madness, ambition and wrathful cunning.

Talk about punch-drunk love! Brilliantly styled, wonderfully soundtracked and screamingly funny, this mesmerizing, romantic 70s throwback is a film of immense, swirling complexity. A precocious teen (Cooper Hoffman, son of late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman) and a discontented young woman (Alana Haim) find friendship and romance as they scheme their way through the San Fernando Valley in 1973. Peppered with sketchy Tinseltown lore and auteurist details, master Paul Thomas Anderson's (BOOGIE NIGHTS, MAGNOLIA) delectable and playful tale is a sentimental reminder of what it means to be young as well as an embodiment of what it feels like to grow up. There's an abundance of nostalgic warmth exuding from every frame of LICORICE PIZZA, making it undeniably one of the most captivating films of the year.

Weaving his legendary magic as a storyteller, director Guillermo del Toro (THE SHAPE OF WATER, PAN'S LABYRINTH) delivers a deliciously dark, stylish rendition of NIGHTMARE ALLEY with lavish visuals and heart-pulsing climatic sequences. When charismatic but down-on-his-luck Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper) endears himself to clairvoyant Zeena (Toni Collette) and her has-been mentalist husband Pete (David Strathairn) at a traveling carnival, he crafts a golden ticket to success, using this newly acquired knowledge to grift the wealthy elite of 1940s New York society. With the virtuous Molly (Rooney Mara) loyally by his side, Stanton plots to con a dangerous tycoon (Richard Jenkins) with the aid of a mysterious psychiatrist (Cate Blanchett) who could become his most formidable opponent yet. Del Toro's grasp on the dark majesty and mystery of film noir combined with his passion for the mystical and peculiar make for an entrancing and potent combination. Already racking up numerous awards, NIGHTMARE ALLEY is also showing up on nearly every Best of 2021 list of note!
