(New York Times) "This gonzo coming-of-age adventure film plays like a punk take on Alice in Wonderland, it's unhinged and undeniably a future cult favorite."

John Carpenter's Christine (40th Anniversary Restoration)

9:15pm - Wednesday, Mar 20, 2024

Following the massive success of HALLOWEEN in 1976, horror icon John Carpenter continued his assault on the hearts and minds of cinema lovers with a run of films including THE FOG, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, and THE THING. 1983 marked something of a return to form, as he turned his lens back towards the most terrifying thing of all - high school - with his adaptation of author Stephen King's novel, "CHRISTINE" Unpopular nerd Arnie Cunningham buys a 1958 Plymouth Fury, which he names Christine.

"'Christine' is a perfectly enjoyable tale of the macabre, which can be read as a satirical parable of that particularly male kind of arrested development which manifests itself in car obsession." (Guardian) "If the '80s were partially defined by revenge-of-the-nerd narratives, Christine is more about the horror of the geek-id unleashed." (The Ringer) "This is the kind of movie where you walk out with a silly grin, get in your car, and lay rubber halfway down the Eisenhower."

One From The Heart

6:30pm - Thursday, Mar 21, 2024

Francis Ford Coppola's ONE FROM THE HEART is an unabashedly grand, even even eccentric musical tribute to the power of love. Released in 1982, the film gained a certain notoriety inasmuch that it marked such a stylistic and thematic departure from the virtuoso auteur's established oeuvre. Panned by some as a "flop" and revered by others, the film features incredible visuals and unexpected musical numbers as well as a memorable, Oscar-nominated score from Tom Waits. Hank and Frannie argue while celebrating their fifth anniversary. Yearning for a life of excitement and romance, Frannie fears that she is wasting her life on a man who shows no interest in her dreams of traveling to far-off places. The argument escalates and they break up. Heading in separate ways and taking to the streets, they both meet and spend the night with strangers. Hank with the seductive Leila a runaway circus performer, and Frannie with Ray, a handsome waiter who moonlights as a cocktail pianist and singer. With Frederic Forrest, Teri Garr, Raoul Julia, Nastassja Kinski, Lainie Kazan, Harry Dean Stanton. The restoration, supervised by Francis Ford Coppola, was made in 4K by American Zoetrope and Roundabout Entertainment in the US. The 4K scans were lifted from the original camera negative, and great efforts have been made to add thirteen minutes of original camera negative, restoring opticals and dupe negative. The restoration was approved by Francis Ford Coppola himself, as six minutes of IP were added to replace the original negative that was thought to be destroyed in a flood in Rome where the negative was kept. "[Of Coppola's films] it is this one that stirs and dazzles me the most and reminds me of why I fell in love with the movies in the first place." (Peter Sobczynski, RogerEbert.com) “One from the Heart” is a pivotal film in Coppola's career, one that vastly expanded the range of his art... A movie that takes a drastic and original approach to the very notion of character, to the essence of subjectivity in cinema." (New Yorker) "There’s plenty to enjoy here, especially the sparkling emotional openness of Teri Garr, who is a terrific natural dancer and seems always to be dancing, even when she isn’t." (Guardian UK) "There's not a moment in 'One From the Heart' when Mr. Coppola isn't after something romantic and glorious, something inexpressibly grand. At times, he even gets what he's after."

"Weaving an eerily single-minded spell from the puppets' squished jellybean faces and misshapen limbs, director and animator Robert Morgan has crafted a narratively slender, visually sophisticated first feature." (New York Times) "Art and storytelling collide in breathtaking yet revolting fashion. Morgan’s knockout debut opens up the veins of a turbulent artist, delivering one creepy melding of mediums to an unsettling, powerful degree."

After losing his mother during the war, young Mahito moves to his family's estate in the countryside.

The Oscar for best animated feature belongs right here since Miyazaki’s unparalleled artistry shines out of every frame."

500 Days In The Wild

12:00pm - Sunday, Mar 24, 2024

Six years, traversing the entire 24,000 kms of Canada's land and water trails from sea to sea. Award-winning director and cinematographer Dianne Whelan is the only person to complete this epic journey of discovery—hiking, biking, paddling, snowshoeing and skiing across the country. For a woman in her 50s who is not an extreme athlete, it was sometimes gruelling, occasionally harrowing, often exhilarating and always surprising. She started out alone, disillusioned with the state of the world and worried about climate change, to look for different ways of caring for the land and each other. She ended the journey a bit wiser, more hopeful, in love and with a passion to share this story. Climate change is a silent theme unfolding in the landscapes; melting permafrost in the Arctic, salmon in the Mackenzie river, record-breaking 120°F heat and fires in the BC interior. Whelan's remarkable feature documentary weaves intimate moments of reflection with adventure and stories of the people and communities she encountered along her way.

About Dry Grasses

2:45pm - Sunday, Mar 24, 2024

Nestled away in wintry East Anatolia, public-school art teacher Samet (Deniz Celiloğlu) yearns to leave the sleepy village for cosmopolitan Istanbul. Further disenchanted when he and Kenan (Musab Ekici), a colleague, come under public scrutiny, Samet fears circumstances will keep him in Anatolia and his dreams of a new life permanently out of reach. A silver lining is a budding relationship with Nuray (Merve Dizdar), a fellow teacher and firebrand who develops connections with both Samet and Kenan, forcing Samet to confront what he can't readily accept. Renowned for his nuanced, visually ravishing imagery, award-winning director Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, Winter Sleep) capstones the film with one of his greatest sequences, a dazzling meta-cinematic climax featuring an entrancing performance from Dizdar, who took home Best Actress at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. "Between’s Ceylan’s eye for faces, landscapes and spatial dynamics, and the first-rate work of cinematographers Kürsat Üresin and Çevahir Sahin, “About Dry Grasses” fills every widescreen frame with life." (Chicago Tribune) "Structured like a quietly grand novel, subtle and elliptical, Ceylan’s film unfolds with Chekhovian grace and a cutting understanding of character." (Globe & Mail) "“About Dry Grasses” may be unhurried, with languid steppe-by-steppe pacing and long, luxuriant, exquisitely sculpted conversations, but it is also nimble, alert, and alive in ways that seem to have taken Ceylan himself by surprise." (The New Yorker) Sunday, March 24 Doors 2:15 pm | Film 2:45 pm *Start time subject to change.

When Samuel is found dead in the snow below their chalet, the police question whether he was murdered or committed suicide.

What follows is not just an investigation into the circumstances of Samuel's death but an unsettling psychological journey into the depths of Sandra and Samuel's conflicted relationship. French filmmaker Justine Triet's courtroom drama has been hailed as a "masterpiece," and recently took home Golden Globe Awards for Best Screenplay and Best Non English-Language Movie, and won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. "Ultimately, one of the key pleasures of the picture is its uncertainty – the niggling doubts that remain, and the sense that a crucial piece of the puzzle is tantalizingly out of reach." (Observer UK) "Surprisingly gripping for a film devoid of real action, this family drama masquerading as a murder-mystery touches on universal marital tensions; it is both enigmatic and very human."

Down By Law

11:00pm - Friday, Mar 29, 2024

The Rio Theatre's Friday Late Night Movie series continues on March 29 with Jim Jarmusch's moody, atmospheric, and darkly funny cult-classic DOWN BY LAW (starring the near-perfect trio of Tom Waits, Roberto Benigni, and John Lurie). When fate brings together three hapless men—an unemployed disc jockey (Waits), a small-time pimp (Lurie), and a strong-willed Italian tourist (Roberto Benigni) in a Louisiana prison, a singular adventure ensues. Described by Jarmusch as a “neo-Beat noir comedy,” DOWN BY LAW is part nightmare and part fairy tale, featuring sterling performances and crisp black-and-white cinematography by the esteemed Robby Müller. "After the initial establishment of character and atmosphere, the laughs come thick and fast, most notably from the marvelous [Roberto] Benigni." (Time Out) "The excitement comes from the realization that we are seeing a true film maker at work, using film to create a narrative that couldn't exist on the stage or the printed page of a novel."

The Boy and the Heron

4:00pm - Sunday, Mar 31, 2024

From the legendary Studio Ghibli and Academy Award-winning director Hayao Miyazaki (SPIRITED AWAY) comes a new critically-acclaimed fantasy adventure. After losing his mother during the war, young Mahito moves to his family's estate in the countryside. There, a series of mysterious events lead him to a secluded and ancient tower, home to a mischievous gray heron. When Mahito's new stepmother disappears, he follows the gray heron into the tower, and enters a fantastic world shared by the living and the dead. As he embarks on an epic journey with the heron as his guide, Mahito must uncover the secrets of this world, and the truth about himself. "Japanese manga master Hayao Miyazaki, 83, came out of retirement for this hand-drawn beauty about his own life growing up in wartime. The Oscar for best animated feature belongs right here since Miyazaki’s unparalleled artistry shines out of every frame." (ABC News) "If this really is Miyazaki’s final word, then it’s a conclusion worthy of his legacy. At the same time, his imagination remains so vast, it feels like he could keep creating forever." (Independent UK) "... A valuable new addition to this unique film-artist’s canon, about confronting a terrible sadness and finding a way to replace it with wonder and joy."

The Hunger Games

6:45pm - Sunday, Mar 31, 2024

"May the odds be ever in your favor." And they will be with the Rio Theatre's Double Bill feature of THE HUNGER GAMES & THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE. In a dystopian future, the totalitarian nation of Panem is divided into 12 districts and the Capitol. Each year two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal retribution for a past rebellion, the televised games are broadcast throughout Panem. The 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors while the citizens of Panem are required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss' young sister, Prim, is selected as District 12's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, are pitted against bigger, stronger representatives, some of whom have trained for this their whole lives. 'The Hunger Games' is a fantasy spectacle that energetically takes over your eyes and leaves you hungry for more "games" and its strange dystopian future. (Yasser Medina) "What sets The Hunger Games apart is its bleak world-building and materialist system of oppression, which adds depth and realism to the story."

Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. The world will be watching. [more]

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

9:30pm - Sunday, Mar 31, 2024

‘The bird, the pin, the song, the berries, the watch, the cracker, the dress that burst into flames. I am the mockingjay. The one that survived despite the Capitol’s plans. The symbol of the rebellion.‘ Keep the odds in your favor with the Rio Theatre's Double Bill feature of THE HUNGER GAMES & THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE. Katniss and Peeta's unprecedented co-victory in the 74th Hunger Games stirs an uprising. President Snow visits Katniss to threaten the lives of everyone she knows and holds dear if she doesn't do all she can to toe the line and quell the unrest. As her best efforts fail, Plutarch Heavensbee (a former games-master, now returned) meets with Snow to implement a Quarter Quell, by which to gather all former Hunger Games victors and have them eliminate each other. Katniss and Peeta end up in the Quarter Quell but must form alliances in order to survive; however, those with whom Katniss prefers to ally herself seem to be for emotional rather than tactical reasons. "Vivid, visceral filmmaking, twisty and entertaining, with startlingly good turns by Jennifer Lawrence and Philip Seymour Hoffman." (Jason Bailey) "It is heartening to find a teen-oriented movie franchise as gritty as The Hunger Games. Even so, Catching Fire remains contradictory, caught in some nether world between nightmarish political allegory and adolescent escapism." (Geoffrey Macnab) "Far from being a mere holding pattern, Catching Fire feels like an advance and an improvement. Let the games continue." (Donald Clarke) Sunday, March 31 Doors 9:15 pm | Film 9:30 pm *Start time subject to change. Please arrive on time. Hungry for more?

There you can clearly see both the face and the reverse of the film and TV industry in Serbia today. It will become clear that their lives are a bigger melodrama than the one they filmed.

Big Trouble In Little China

11:30pm - Friday, Apr 12, 2024

"It’s all in the reflexes…" The Rio Theatre's Friday Late Night Movie series continues with John Carpenter's insanely fun and totally 80s martial arts-filled action fantasy BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA. Don't forget to come wearing your tank top tucked into your jeans with no belt. Carpenter's "muse" (they've made more than a few films together!) Kurt Russell stars as all-American trucker Jack Burton, who agrees to take his friend Wang Chi on a trip to the airport to pick up his beautiful, green-eyed fiancée - but along the way finds himself involved in a crazy, supernatural ancient Chinese battle that pits the forces of good against evil. Russell really shines here as an (almost) over-the-top, loveable macho leading man with a penchant for cartoonish dialogue; between his scene-stealing performance and the glorious levels of movie craziness on screen, Big Trouble in Little China still feels like a cross between a B-movie and a comic book - in the best way possible. Also starring Kim Cattrall, Dennis Dun and James Hong.

Boat People: A Fifty Year Journey ( with Q&A afterwards)

2:30pm - Sunday, Apr 14, 2024

Embracing death on a quest for freedom.  A documentary film by THANH TAM. Scroll for English 50 năm, một khoảng thời gian tuy ngắn cho lịch sử của một dân tộc, nhưng lại dài cho một đời người. 50 năm trước, toàn lãnh thổ Việt Nam rơi vào sự thống trị của những người Cộng Sản. Và kể từ đó, hàng triệu người dân Việt Nam đã bỏ xứ ra đi, bắt đầu là làn sóng vượt biên gian nan, hiểm nghèo của những thuyền nhân, bộ nhân làm rúng động lương tâm thế giới vào những thập niên 70, 80, và 90. Những người Tị Nạn Việt Nam năm xưa và thân nhân của họ đã xây dựng nên những Cộng Đồng Người Việt Tự Do lớn mạnh trên khắp thế giới. Cái quá khứ Tị Nạn đó bây giờ đã bị lãng quên, hay vẫn còn hằn sâu trong tâm thức của họ? Thế hệ thứ hai, thứ ba, con cháu của những người Tị Nạn gốc Việt, đã có những đóng góp ngày càng đáng kể vào xã hội nơi họ đang sống. Bao nhiêu người trong thế hệ hiện tại và tương lai hiểu nguyên do vì sao họ được sống trong một xã hội tự do nhân bản, và có bao nhiêu người trong số đó thật sự trân quý cái giá mà cha ông họ đã phải trả?! “Thuyền Nhân: hành trình 50 năm” - phim tài liệu dài 90 phút do Thanh Tâm thực hiện, Ethnic Channels Group và Lunar Village Production sản xuất, và được sự tài trợ một phần của chính phủ Canada (Canada Media Fund)- ghi lại những câu chuyện thật, từ chính những nhân chứng sống về những người Tị Nạn gốc Việt. Những câu chuyện đau thương được kể trong “Thuyền Nhân: hành trình 50 năm” cho thấy phần nào sự tàn khốc của xã hội Việt Nam từ sau 1975 và nỗi tang thương mà những người Tị Nạn gốc Việt đã phải trải qua. Giai đoạn quá khứ bi thảm này làm người Việt hải ngoại có thể cảm nhận rõ ràng hơn là họ đã may mắn như thế nào. Và những gương thành công trong “Thuyền Nhân: hành trình 50 năm” cũng cho thấy trong một xã hội công bằng và nhân bản, người gốc Việt có thể đạt được những thành tựu đáng ngưỡng mộ.“Thuyền Nhân: hành trình 50 năm” hy vọng làm thế hệ tương lai, cũng như người dân bản xứ thông hiểu hơn về họ, những người Tị Nạn gốc Việt. Những câu chuyện thật trong giai đoạn lịch sử này là bài học xương máu cho những ai quan tâm đến vận mệnh tương lai của quốc gia dân tộc. Hy sinh của những người bỏ mình trên đường tìm tự do cần phải được tưởng nhớ. Những tang thương này không thể một lần nữa tái diễn trong lịch sử của dân tộc Việt, và nguyên nhân của nó cần phải bị vĩnh viễn xóa bỏ. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 50 years is a short period of time for a nation's history, but long for a human life. 50 years ago, the entire territory of Vietnam fell under the domination of the Communists. And since then, millions of Vietnamese people have left the country, starting with the wave of arduous and dangerous border crossings of boat people and refugees that shook the world's conscience in the 70s and 80s and 90s. Former Vietnamese refugees and their relatives have built strong Free Vietnamese Communities around the world. Has that Refugee past now been forgotten, or is it still deeply embedded in their minds? The second and third generations, descendants of Vietnamese refugees, have made increasingly significant contributions to the society in which they live. How many people in the present and future generations understand why they live in a free, humane society, and how many of them truly appreciate the price their ancestors had to pay? ! “Boat People: a 50-year journey” - 90-minute documentary film made by Thanh Tam, produced by Ethnic Channels Group and Lunar Village Production, and partially sponsored by the Canadian government (Canada Media Fund) - recorded True stories from living witnesses of Vietnamese refugees. The painful stories told in "Boat People: a 50-year journey" partly show the cruelty of Vietnamese society after 1975 and the suffering that Vietnamese refugees have had to go through. This tragic past period makes overseas Vietnamese feel more clearly how lucky they are. And the successful examples in "Boat People: a 50-year journey" also show that in a fair and humane society, people of Vietnamese descent can achieve admirable achievements. "Boat People: a 50-year journey" hopes to make future generations, as well as local people, better understand them, the Vietnamese Refugees. True stories from this historical period are bloody lessons for those who care about the future destiny of the nation. The sacrifices of those who died on their way to freedom need to be remembered. These tragedies cannot be repeated again in the history of the Vietnamese people, and their causes must be permanently eliminated.

Celebrate the 45th Anniversary of George A. Romero’s DAWN OF THE DEAD as it was meant to be seen – on the big screen! Long heralded as one of the greatest, most influential horror films of all time, the classic cinematic shocker has been one of the most requested theatrical revival titles from fright fans the world over for decades. Unlike other cinematic favorites, George A. Romero’s DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978) is still not available on any streaming platform, nor on cable, and has been out-of-print on DVD and BluRay in the U.S. for over a decade, so the hunger to watch it just keeps growing among its ravenous fans.

The film was first released in North America on April 12, 1979! Join us and celebrate the 45th Anniversary of this genuine cult classic on the Rio's big screen. "...a comic apocalypse that has come to maul the becalmed 70s. I think it's going to be the biggest cult blockbuster of all time." (Village Voice) "Romero is an audacious, stunningly talented filmmaker." (Playboy Magazine) ★★★★ "...brilliantly crafted, funny, droll, and savagely merciless in its satiric view of the American consumer society." (Roger Ebert - Chicago Sun-Times) "If you like horror movies this one is for you!

Indigo Girls: It's Only Life After All #MusicMonday

6:30pm - Monday, Apr 15, 2024

With forty years of making music as the iconic folk-rock band Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have made their mark as musicians, songwriters, and dedicated activists. They have represented radical self-acceptance to many, leading multiple generations of fans to say, “the Indigo Girls saved my life.” Still, Amy and Emily battled misogyny, homophobia, and a harsh cultural climate chastising them for not fitting into a female pop star mold. With joy, humor, and heart-warming earnestness, Sundance award-winning director Alexandria Bombach brings us into a contemporary conversation with Amy and Emily—alongside decades of the band's home movies and intimate present-day verité. “The Indigo Girls make a far more intriguing subject for a music doc than most who’ve gotten the treatment in recent years.” (Variety) “An adoring opus... Brimming with previously unseen footage and refreshing frank interviews.” (IndieWire) “The rare confessional rockumentary that envelops you like a soft blanket.” (The Hollywood Reporter) #MusicMonday, April 15 Doors 6:00 pm | Movie 6:30 pm *Start time subject to change.

The People's Joker

9:30pm - Tuesday, Apr 16, 2024

Filmmaker Vera Drew's queer-focused, satirical Batman send-up THE PEOPLE'S JOKER gained itself notoriety right out of the gate, when, following its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in 2022, planned screenings of the film were unceremoniously "pulled" due to "rights issues." This dark, deeply funny coming of age satire also serves as an unofficial parody of the Batman universe, as it follows a law-breaking comedian who, while grappling with her gender identity, forms a new anti-comedy troupe with a friend before finding herself battling a fascistic caped crusader. In addition to writing the film alongside her partner Bri LeRose, Drew also directed and stars in the lead role. The film also features Scott Aukerman, Tim Heidecker, Maria Bamford, David Liebe Hart, Robert Wuhl, and Bob Odenkirk. "Not only is it damn funny, with each of the lines delivered by a dynamic [Vera] Drew landing perfectly, but it’s a genuinely incisive work of cinematic reflection that's the exact type of kick in the pants the often empty genre could use." (The Stranger) "'The People’s Joker' is a fearless, gloriously funny, and moving act of cinematic anarchy." (Austin Chronicle) "An uproarious, truly transgressive piece of queer outsider comedy and art. And amid all the cancel culture nonsense, here's a film in which forces are actually trying to suppress it." (Tilt Magazine) "Unlike many comedies -- alternative and mainstream -- 'The People’s Joker is not so in love with its own satire to rob it of any emotional truth. Underneath the satirical madness lies a genuinely moving story of self-acceptance." (indieWire) Tuesday, April 16 Doors 9:00 pm | Movie 9:30 pm *Start time subject to change. Please arrive on time.

The Rio Theatre is beyond excited to welcome beloved filmmaker and pop-culture icon John Waters back to our stage - live! - for a command performance of his new spoken word show, “Devil’s Advocate,” on Friday, April 26. If you missed this show when Mr Waters performed it at the Rio Theatre in 2023, you're in luck! This brand new, fast-moving, comedic monologue about today’s despair and diseases, desires and desperations breaks through with an insane optimism that welcomes all audiences into a new dawn of depravity.
