September 12 and 14

With INHERENT VICE Paul Thomas Anderson reunites with star Joaquin Phoenix for this darkly comic adaptation of the acclaimed Thomas Pynchon novel (the first Pynchon adaptation ever before Anderson’s soon to be released ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER). When private eye Doc Sportello's ex-old lady suddenly out of nowhere shows up with a story about her current billionaire land developer boyfriend whom she just happens to be in love with, and a plot by his wife and her boyfriend to kidnap that billionaire and throw him in a loony bin...well, easy for her to say. It's the tail end of the psychedelic '60s and paranoia is running the day and Doc knows that "love" is another of those words going around at the moment, like "trip" or "groovy," that's being way too overused -- except this one usually leads to trouble. Featuring Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Katherine Waterston, Eric Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, Benicio del Toro, Jena Malone, Maya Rudolph, Martin Short and Joanna Newsom.

NOSFERATU is certainly the most important horror film of the silent era. Directed by F. W. Murnau and released in 1922, the film follows Thomas Hutter as he journeys to Transylvania to sell property to the eerie Count Orlok, a vampire played by Max Schreck. Orlok travels to Germany, terrorizing the village of Wisborg and preying on its inhabitants. His obsession with Thomas' wife, young Ellen Hutter, leads to a climactic showdown as she attempts to thwart his evil plans. Celebrated for its atmospheric cinematography, haunting performances, and enduring influence on the horror genre, many also consider it to be the pinnacle of German Expressionist film.

The Invincible Czars' soundtrack for the century-old film uses a mix of acoustic and electric instrument. Violin, glockenspiel, organ, flute, bass clarinet, voices and vocals, music box, loops, electric guitar, bass, piano and percussion all play prominent roles in the score.
