Find solace from the frigid fall temperatures with downtown movie nights. Bozeman Film Society allows filmgoers an opportunity to enjoy independent cinema on the big screen. A pair of upcoming Ellen events have been announced as part of the current season.
On Friday, November 4th, Bowie showcase Moonage Daydream screens. Directed by Brett Morgen.
The film illuminates the life and genius of David Bowie, one of the most prolific and influential artists of our time. Told through sublime, kaleidoscopic, never-before-seen footage, performances and music, Morgen’s feature length experiential cinematic odyssey explores the artist’s creative, musical and spiritual journey. The film is guided by David Bowie’s own narration and is the first officially sanctioned film on the artist.
“This is an experience: an immersive, kaleidoscopic fantasia,” wrote Christy Lemire of Filmweek. Rated PG-13 with a runtime of 135 minutes.
Following Friday, Nov. 18th is Cannes Palme d’Or winner Triangle of Sadness. Directed by Ruben Östlund.
In this wickedly funny satire, social hierarchy is turned upside down, revealing the tawdry relationship between power and beauty. Celebrity model couple, Carl (Harris Dickinson) and Yaya (Charlbi Dean), are invited on a luxury cruise for the uber-rich, helmed by an unhinged boat captain (Woody Harrelson). What first appeared instagrammable ends catastrophically, leaving the survivors stranded on a desert island and fighting for survival.
Avi Offer of NYC Movie Guru wrote of the film, “Bold, provocative and wickedly funny. Making the audience laugh while making them think and feel is no easy task, but Ruben Östlund accomplishes it with flying colors.” Rated R with a runtime of 140 minutes.
Moonage Daydream and Triangle of Sadness screen at 7pm at the Ellen Theatre. Reserved tickets are $9.25–$9.75 (plus fees) and available at www.theellentheatre.org, by calling (406) 585-5885, or by visiting the Ellen box office. Wine, beer and concessions will be available in the lobby prior to the screening. CC devices available.
