“Is this a bit what it feels like to watch a film today? To melt into it, to dissolve into the looks and glances onscreen? Director Apichatpong Weeresethakul finds dream states in everyday places and moments. What happens when we dive down into our unconscious lives as in Cemetery of Splendour? What happens when the lights go down in a movie theatre? We leave our own world for a while, and cross over, into the worlds of other people. The most innovative filmmakers have always wanted to take us into those other worlds.” – Mark Cousins
Music Box Theatre screens films of all genres and from every era of cinema, both new releases and repertory. These films may sometimes contain upsetting, outdated, or offensive material. While we aim to introduce many of our screenings, we do not always provide warnings about potentially triggering content within the films we screen. We encourage our patrons to research the film before they attend using trailers, reviews, or content information found on Common Sense Media, IMDb and DoesTheDogDie.com.
