Cinema Art Theater to screen new films, Met Opera Live
The Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater, starting Friday, Oct. 28, will present “Hold Me Tight” and “Triangle of Sadness.”
“Hold Me Tight” is a compelling drama and beautiful cinematic experience about a mother who tries to stay close to her family by leaving them. Clarisse is a woman on the run from her family for reasons that aren’t immediately clear. This virtuosic, daringly fluid portrait of a woman in crisis alternates between Clarisse’s adventures on the road and scenes of her abandoned husband Marc as he struggles to take care of their children at home. The film keeps viewers uncertain as to the reality of what they’re seeing until the final moments of this moving, unpredictable and richly rewarding family drama.
“Triangle of Sadness,” a breathlessly entertaining comedy, follows a celebrity model couple exploring their relationship when their life is upended. Social hierarchy is turned upside down, revealing the tawdry relationship between power and beauty. Carl (Harris Dickinson) and Yaya (Charlbi Dean), are invited on a luxury cruise for the uber-rich, helmed by an unhinged captain (Woody Harrelson). What first appeared Instagram-worthy ends catastrophically, leaving the survivors stranded on a desert island and fighting for survival.
The Rehoboth Beach Film Society is proud to present the Metropolitan Opera: Live in HD broadcast of composer Luigi Cherubini’s “Medea,” at the Cinema Art Theater in Lewes. Screenings are shown as recorded presentations after being filmed live.
Having triumphed at the Met in some of the repertory’s fiercest soprano roles, Sondra Radvanovsky opens the new season as the mythic sorceress who will stop at nothing in her quest for vengeance. The Met premiere of Cherubini’s rarely performed masterpiece marks Radvanovsky’s fourth new production with director David McVicar, who also designed the sets for this vivid, atmospheric staging, simultaneously classical, updated and timeless. Joining Radvanovsky are tenor Matthew Polenzani as Medea’s Argonaut husband, Giasone; soprano Janai Brugger as her rival for his love, Glauce; bass Michele Pertusi as her father, Creonte, the king of Corinth; and mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova as Medea’s confidante, Neris.
In an impressive fall trifecta at the Met, Maestro Carlo Rizzi conducts “Medea,” in addition to “Don Carlo” and “Tosca.”
Film admission is $9 for members and $11.50 for general audiences. Admission for The Met: Live in HD broadcasts is $25 for adults; $22 for RBFS members, Met members and seniors ages 65 and above; and $15 for students with ID and children ages 12 and under.
