Opening Thu, Dec 5, QUEER from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Luca Guadagnino’s (CALL ME BY YOUR NAME) and starring Daniel Craig. (At Thu’s 9pm screening, senior film critic for the @nashvillesceen Jason Shawhan introduces.)
It takes risk to translate the work of William S. Burroughs for the screen, but Guadagnino’s spin on the Beat legend’s autobiographical novel matches its source material in vulnerability and taboo-smashing adventurousness. About Craig’s starring role, @slashfilm writes: “Downright sensational in what proves to be a transformative role, initially playing on our expectations of his world-famous James Bond performance before gleefully tearing those assumptions apart over the course of its 135-minute runtime.”

Opening this Thu, Dec 5, FLOW is a feast for the senses and a treasure for the heart, steeped in the soaring possibilities of visual storytelling. From the boundless imagination of the award-winning Gints Zilbalodis (AWAY) comes a thrilling animated spectacle as well as a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of friendship and community. (Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/Belcourt-FLOW.)
@indiewire called FLOW: “One of the most moving animated films in recent memory, and, beyond that, groundbreaking too…. It’s not just a supreme example of a movie kids will love that adults will too. With its wordlessness, this is a film that could play in any country of the world, its capacity to reach literally everyone limitless. And yet it’s radical while being as accessible as any animated film could ever be.”

“This film should be played loud!” Now a perennial kickoff to the week of Thanksgiving (and a Belcourt tradition), we present Martin Scorsese’s masterful 1978 concert film — an all-star affair, seven-camera set-up capturing The Band’s final gig and Bill Graham’s incredibly satisfying prelude to Thanksgiving dinner. Featuring a rotating till of special guests including Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Muddy Waters and many, many others.
THE LAST WALTZ this Mon, Nov 25 at 2:50pm, 8pm + Thu, Nov 28 (Thanksgiving Day) at 8pm. (Tickets at link in bio, bit.ly/LAST-WALTZ-2024)
“Beautifully threads the line between the real and the surreal… There is so much beauty in BIRD, both within the relationships unraveling onscreen and on the screen itself.” —@rafiews @ThePlaylistNews
Opening this Fri, Nov 22 — BIRD, the latest film from renowned English filmmaker Andrea Arnold (FISH TANK, AMERICAN HONEY) — is a compelling, ultimately joyous story that tackles themes of identity, sexism, loneliness and class struggle. The director’s empathy and skill at showing us beauty despite dire circumstances elevates BIRD beyond its roots. Add to that a crystalline thread of magic realism — and the result is an ode to the wondrous transition from childhood to adolescence. (Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/Belcourt-BIRD)

“It is triumphant, jarring and pulls its audience into an intimate storyline that demands to be witnessed…. The 1996 newly restored film, feels fresh and revitalizing as it molds generational victory through its thoughtful storyline and immaculate casting.” —Niani Scott, rogerebert.com
Bridgett M. Davis’s NAKED ACTS — this Thu, Nov 21 at 8pm + Sun, Nov 24 at 5:10pm. Without finding a receptive distributor when she made the film in the ‘90s, Davis decided to take things into her own hands — distributing and promoting it herself. NAKED ACTS enjoyed relative success in the alternative festival and theatrical circuit, but remains one of the criminally under-seen “most influential Black films.”
NAKED ACTS has been digitally restored and remastered by Lightbox Film Center in collaboration with Milestone Films. This 2023 restoration is from the 16mm a/b rolls preserved at the Indiana University Black Film Center & Archive. Restoration and release with creative consultation by Maya Cade, creator of the Black Film Archive.

This Mon, Nov 18 at 8pm, THE WORLD ACCORDING TO ALLEE WILLIS — described as “the most interesting woman you’ve never heard of” (@washingtonpost). Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/ALLEE-WILLIS. (Part of #MusicCityMondays.)
One look at award-winning songwriter and artist Allee Willis and you see someone unafraid to be themselves. Best known for writing the “Friends” theme song, the Earth Wind & Fire mega-hit “September” and the musical “The Color Purple,” Willis began filming her life as a kid in 1950s Detroit and never stopped. Dressed in a cacophony of prints and colors, with her signature asymmetrical haircut and famed parties at her real-life Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, Allee didn’t waste any opportunity to tell you what she was about. But privately, Allee struggled with not fitting established gender and sexual norms. She buried herself in her work, until true love manifested her ultimate masterpiece — self-acceptance.
“[Sergei] Parajanov has a genuine gift. He has the kind of heedless energy you glimpse in some of the early work of Martin Scorsese, pounding camerawork so filled with itself it can hardly contain the story.” — #RogerEbert @chicagosuntimes
SHADOWS OF FORGOTTEN ANCESTORS this Sun, Nov 17 at 12:40pm + Wed, Nov 20 at 6pm — widely considered the most important film in the history of Ukranian cinema, Parajanov’s masterwork boldly combines folkloric pageantry, fairy tale mysticism and frenetic, hallucinatory cinematography — capturing the spiritual majesty of the past by creatively forging the medium’s future. (Part of #RestorationRoundup with tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/SHADOWS-OF-FORGOTTEN-ANCESTORS)
“A rare work of art that thrills the senses and the mind…. Worthy of that overused superlative, masterpiece!” re

“A frequently laugh-out-loud funny odd couple road trip movie whose emotional wallop sneaks up and floors you…. With A REAL PAIN, [writer-director Jesse Eisenberg] demonstrates impeccable judgment and great skill at balancing sardonic wit with piercing solemnity in a movie full of feeling, in which no emotion is unearned.” —@hollywoodreporter
Opening this Thu, Nov 14, writer-director Jesse Eisenberg’s A REAL PAIN — with Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin as mismatched cousins who reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. (At Thu’s 7pm screening, an introduction from @nashville_jewish_film_festival) Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/A-REAL-PAIN.
“A striking portrait of a singular musician…. Even for those familiar with the ‘Never Too Much’ crooner, [director Dawn] Porter’s project is essential viewing.” —#LoviaGyarkye @hollywoodreporter
Dawn Porter’s LUTHER: NEVER TOO MUCH this Mon, Nov 11 at 4pm + 8pm* (*with an introduction from The National Museum of African American Music) — and this coming Fri-Sun, Nov 15-17. (Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/LUTHER-NEVER-TOO-MUCH)

Repost from @belcourtmidnights

Now that the madness that is October has come to a close, we here at Belcourt Midnights just wanted to take a second to send a huge thanks to our incredible staff. Between 12HoT and Rocky, October is chock full of weird hours, big crowds (seen here), and tons of clean up. We’re so lucky to have an amazing crew of folks who shoulder that insane schedule, sweep up what has to be a metric ton of popcorn, and keep serving you with a smile to ensure you have a great time at the movies. The quality, enthusiasm, dedication, and knowledge of our front of house crew is the best in the biz. They even give excellent film intros from time to time!
It also requires a lot of from our expert crew of projectionists who roll with whatever crazy ideas we throw out, and they always deliver such a beautiful and seamless viewing experience, even when it’s 2am and they’ve worked 4 late nights in a row. A lot of curveballs get thrown their way, from tech issues to “hey can you run this trailer I forgot to send to you until the last minute?” (yeah, my bad), and they make sure that you all are none the wiser.
So, if you’ve read all this and consistently have a good time thanks to these wonderful folks, the next time you’re in, please consider tossing a little extra in the tip bucket to show how much you appreciate them. They’re entirely the reason we’re able to do what we do. See ya at the movies!
Nicole Kidman will join us in person for a post-screening discussion following her new film
BABYGIRL on Tue, Dec 31 at 4:00pm
Tickets will go on sale to Belcourt members Mon, Dec 23 at 10:00am. We anticipate this screening will sell out within minutes.
