Presented via a curated program, prepare to see all the most spectacular and timeless films spanning genres from classic dramas, comedies, thrillers, beloved anime, horrors & more every week (dates differ across states).
No time to look back.
Returning to cinemas four decades on from its release, Academy Award and Grammy winner David Byrne’s TRUE STORIES, an absurd satirical comedy that explores the eccentric residents of a small Texan town.
Talking Heads singer David Byrne plays host to this bizarre patchwork of tabloid-inspired tales, set in the fictional town of Virgil, Texas. Cruising the streets in his cherry-red drop-top, Byrne introduces viewers to the local eccentrics gearing up for the town's 150th anniversary. They include a community leader with a thing for veggies, a woman so lazy she won't leave her bed, a lovelorn country singer and more!
Featuring a soundtrack filled by Talking Heads hits and hilarious performances from Golden Globe and Emmy winner John Goodman, Spalding Gray and Pops Staples, TRUE STORIES is an exuberant mixture of poetry and irony, tenderness and sharpness, and a sense of the ordinary and the incredible.
