THE SUBSTANCE

Coralie Fargeat

  • 140 minutes
  • 2024
  • English
  • October 25 - 27

    Demi Moore gives a career-best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and suddenly fired from her fitness TV show by repellent studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid). She is then drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug: THE SUBSTANCE. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue (Margaret Qualley). The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. A perfect balance. What could go wrong? Deliriously entertaining and ruthlessly satirical, Coralie Fargeat’s Cannes sensation turns toxic beauty culture inside out. Explosive, provocative and twisted, THE SUBSTANCE marks the arrival of a thrillingly visionary filmmaker.

A DIFFERENT MAN

  • October 26 - 27

    HELD OVER! Aspiring actor Edward (Sebastian Stan in a stellar performance) undergoes a radical medical procedure to drastically transform his appearance. But his new dream face quickly turns into a nightmare, as he loses out on the role he was born to play and becomes obsessed with reclaiming what was lost. Shrewd, fantastic, and something all its own, A DIFFERENT MAN is a Kafkaesque reversal-of-fortune comic bad dream that reminds us to be careful what you wish for.

  • November 1 - 3

    A young Donald Trump (Sebastian Stan), eager to make his name as a hungry second son of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today. Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé -- someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win. A smart, tragic take on just how dark the American Dream can be, with award-worthy work from Stan and Strong.

THE LIGHTHOUSE

Robert Eggers

  • 110 minutes
  • 2019
  • English
  • November 2 - 3

    Two lighthouse keepers (Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson) try to maintain their sanity while living on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s. A rich and strange sea yarn in monochrome that overflows with Beckettian absurdity and Lovecraftian weirdness, as these men, perhaps both liars (literal gaslighters), look into the abyss of both their elemental isolation & their infernal companionship. A gripping story brilliantly filmed and led by a pair of powerhouse performances, THE LIGHTHOUSE further establishes Robert Eggers as a visionary filmmaker of exceptional talent.
