What repertory, classic, archival or otherwise special film screenings are you programming—or attending—for Valentine’s Day 2020?
…or Galentine’s Day? …or Anti-Valentine’s Day? Día de Los Enamorados? 情人节? Alla hjärtans dag?
Looking around, there are fun and weird options (Squeaky Wheel’s annual Love & Sex Show), classy fare (Danish Film Institute’s dinner-and-a-movie with the 2005 Pride and Prejudice), heavy erotic arthouse (an 11pm showing of Oshima’s Empire of Passion at Metrograph) or love-is-dead downers, like Rosemary’s Baby at Anthology Film Archives.
Write below and share what’s going on in your preferred cinema.
Hold Me Now (Michael Robinson, 2008, US)
Nothing says Valentine's Day like tragic romance, which is why we're showing Guru Dutt's PYAASA in a new digital restoration at the Block Cinema in Evanston, IL. It's a free screening, part of our MORNING WILL COME: MODERNITY IN INDIAN CINEMA series, programmed by Simran Bhalla.
