The Cinematheque

The Cinematheque is launching this year’s Noir Series with a Marylin Monroe Classic!

‘Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotten are a maniacally mismatched couple vacationing on the Ontario side of Niagara Falls in Henry Hathaway’s delectably tawdry thriller, a lurid Technicolor noir brimming with dark deeds and “a raging torrent of emotion”. Monroe, in a rare bad-girl role, is slip-clad Rose, a scheming vamp with murder on the mind.’

“Marilyn Monroe’s eroticism [in Niagara] is an act of violence, a distortion of the natural and expected heterosexual order so extreme as to appear destructive.”

• Philippa Snow, Artforum

For their opening Noir Movie, the theatre puts on a jazz courtyard shindig to precede the screening. Grab a drink, indulge in the snacks or grab some merch, it’s a great way to kick things off!
Entry to shindig is included with your ticket for Niagara. I’d recommend pre-booking as it sells out every year.

🎟️ This event has sold out!

This will be a collaboration event with Karen and friends from the Vancouver Foreign, Documentary and Independent Cinema Group!
I highly recommend checking them out :).

Let’s plan to meet at the Courtyard Shindig at 6pm for some drinks and snacks before we head in!
We can get drinks after the showing if people wanna keep the discussions going :v).

See you there! 🔫
