Funny movie.
Its a book club meeting so you have to read Virginia Woolf’s Orlando but then you get to watch this weird movie.

And then go watch Celine Song’s new movie The Materialists on Thursday.
The marketing for that movie is really giving Whit Stillman.

Premiered in 1978 and then not widely screened until 2007 because of music rights.
See it in the theater when you can.
It’s a great movie.
28 DAYS LATER | Hyperreal Film Club
I heard 28 Years Later is very good and I hope it is.
But it was from someone with whom I almost always disagree.
The Red Shoes + Black Swan | Paramount Theatre Austin
Red Shoes is so much better in a movie theater than on any other screen.
Also there is a live performance.
