The Big Lebowski

A New Year’s Eve Screening

This event has passed

Jeff Bridges is the Dude, a drop out looking for his virtue, and his rug, in the moral free-zone of contemporary Malibu.

Come dressed as your favourite character. White Russians available as an add-on with your ticket.

The plot — thick as Kahlua — accommodates nihilist former krautrockers, fluxus artists, porn moguls, tearaway Minnesota farmgirls, paraplegic fake millionaires, TV Western writers in iron lungs, neo-Jewish Vietnam vets, paedophile bowlers and Saddam Hussein… Key ingredients include the endlessly quoteable dialogue, an inspired cast of actors clearly relishing their lines, and T Bone Burnett’s jukebox soundtrack.

Nashville

Dir. Robert Altman
159 min

With 26 actors getting more-or-less equal screen time and half of them singing their own tunes, Robert Altman's state-of-the-nation satire on bicentennial USA is a movie that repays multiple views.

Holy Motors

Dir. Leos Carax
116 min

Carax's film a dazzler, a requiem for cinema that somehow breathes new life and new hope into the form. Denis Lavant (Beau Travail) plays 11 roles and the accordion. Absurdist, surreal, poignant and unforgettable, this is truly one of a kind.

Under the Skin

Dir. Jonathan Glazer
108 min

Between Birth and the death camps of Zone of Interest, Jonathan Glazer gave us sex, with Scarlett Johansson, picking up and disposing with interchangeable men. It's a bleakly unforgettable movie, with a mesmeric Mica Levi score.

Certain Women

Dir. Kelly Reichardt
107 min

Spare, incisive portraits of four Montana women (Laura Dern, Michelle Williams, Kristen Stewart and Lily Gladstone) brushing up against the everyday wears and tears of difficult men, their own circumstances, and the desire for something better.
