"Sirāt" @The Sie Film Center - SECOND Screening!
Sie FilmCenter, 2510 East Colfax Avenue, Denver, CO, USYour eyes aren't playing tricks on you. This is the SECOND screening for The Best Film of 2025 which took only 84 years to finally be released in the US. The movie gods have answered my prayers!
I've been dying to see, nay experience this film again after being absolutely gob smacked by it during Denver Film Festival. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say you've never experienced something like Sirāt before--now whether you'll "like" it is another story but "like" is such a boring descriptor, no? It's the type of cinematic bravura that makes films like Marty Supreme and One Battle After Another seem duller and even more pointless by comparison.
I'm so excited! Let's go watch, nay experience Sirāt together!

Parking in the back. Hehe-Haha in the lobby, head to the screening, then will meet back. We'll probably head to Bruz for a chat depending on what the crowd is feeling.

Chez Classics at GV: Annie Hall with John Anzalone
The LandmarkTheater, 5415 Landmark Pl., Greenwood Village, CO, USLet's join the lovely Chez folks and Film Professor John Anzalone for a tribute to Diane Keaton, John will do brief intro and follow up info session/Q&A after for certified cinephiles!
“Annie Hall” contains more intellectual wit and cultural references than any other movie ever to win the Oscar for best picture, and in winning the award in 1977 it edged out “Star Wars,” an outcome unthinkable today. The victory marked the beginning of Woody Allen‘s career as an important filmmaker (his earlier work was funny but slight) and it signaled the end of the 1970s golden age of American movies. With “Star Wars,” the age of the blockbuster was upon us, and movies this quirky and idiosyncratic would find themselves shouldered aside by Hollywood’s greed for mega-hits. “Annie Hall” grossed about $40 million–less than any other modern best picture winner, and less than the budgets of many of them.
Watching it again, 25 years after its April 1977 premiere, I am astonished by how scene after scene has an instant familiarity. Some of its lines have seeped into the general consciousness; they’re known by countless people who never saw the movie, like Jack Nicholson’s chicken salad speech from “Five Easy Pieces.” For years I’ve invariably described spiders as being “as big as a Buick,” and this movie may be where most people first heard Groucho Marx’s comment that he would not want to belong to any club that would have him as a member.

DCC Book Club: Pillion
Odells Sloans Lake Brewery, 1625 Perry St, Denver, CO, USBe sure to read the whole description before you RSVP, as this is not our typical event!
One of my most anticipated 2025 movies that hasn't made it to Denver yet is Pillion, a dark comedy about a BDSM relationship, starring Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård. It is reportedly going to start at the Sie on 2/20.
Pillion is based on the 2020 novel Box Hill: A Story of Low Self-Esteem by Adam Mars-Jones. Let's read the book, watch the film, then meet to discuss!
This meeting time and place is to discuss both! Read on your own (consider the library, purchasing from a local bookstore, or Bookshop, where you can select a local bookstore to benefit from your online order of physical or ebook). There will very likely be a separate group event for Pillion when it opens, but you can also watch on your own. The book is very short (just 112 pages) so if you want to watch the film first and then read the book there should be time to do so.
Note: Unsurprisingly, there is a lot of explicit, kinky sex in both book and film (ie, don't bring your grandmother!)
