FILMS SHOWING Friday Feb 10 to Thursday Feb 16

Since the Princess first opened in 1985, the films of Pedro Almodóvar have been a perennial favourite among our discerning, sophisticated and adventurous clientele! We are excited to present the Spanish maestro's latest concoction, which --fabulously-- is an adaptation of three of Alice Munro's short stories. Surely, a delicious Canadian-Spanish blend! Don't miss it!

At the Twin this week we have two new films on offer: LION and THE FOUNDER

Scroll down for your chance to win a pair of passes to the always enchanting OSCAR-NOMINATED ANIMATED SHORTS (2017 edition). Watch out for the Oscar-Nominated Live Action Shorts coming next week!

Julieta

18A

"Almodóvar's admiration for the Alice Munro short stories he is adapting is not misplaced. 'Julieta' morphs into a haunting and hypnotic tribute to both their talents." - Rolling Stone

“Awash in color, feminine psychodrama and heightened emotion, Julieta is a classic Pedro Almodóvar film. Adapted from three short stories from Alice Munro’s Runaway collection, this mother-daughter head trip revisits familiar terrain from the filmmaker who gave us the ecstatically lurid melodramas Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and All About My Mother.
