Aug 21-27. The late Bruno Ganz as Freud in THE TOBACCONIST; new ANDRE RIEU concert; Adam Shoalts is ALONE ACROSS THE ARCTIC; SHE DIES TOMORROW & more!

Cinema lost one of its greats last year with the death of Bruno Ganz, the versatile Swiss actor whose roles ranged from from an angel in Wings of Desire to Hitler in Downfall. For his final performance he played Sigmund Freud in The Tobacconist, a story of a young man who develops a friendship with the reknowned psychoanalyst during the Nazi occupation of Vienna. The Tobacconist starts Friday at the Twin.

Live concerts are something so many of us miss, so Andre Rieu is here to lift music-lovers' spirits. Music brings people together, brings hope and brings joy - and we need this now more than ever! Andre Rieu Magical Maastricht: Together in Music. Aug 23 & 25. Get tickets now!

One of the most talked-about recent psychological horrors debuts at the Twin this Friday: She Dies Tomorrow, about a woman who thinks she's dying tomorrow, a psychosis that proves contagious. Time Magazine says, "If She Dies Tomorrow were a song rather than a movie, it would be the anthem for our current age of anxiety." Critics are loving this one!

We are excited to bring back the 4K restoration of David Cronenberg's provocative, Crash. If you think this movie depicts a bizarre subculture, you should dive right in and read J.G. Ballard's source material! Crash is a deeply profound work on the nature of trauma and definitely worth multiple viewings. Go for head-on full impact and immerse yourself in it at the Original, where it first premiered for KW audiences in 1996!

Royal Geographic Society's Explorer-in-Residence on the big screen: Adam Shoalts' ALONE ACROSS THE ARCTIC - The Movie. Don't miss seeing the document of this intrepid solo traveller's unbelievable trek across the Arctic. Talk about fearless! The risks he takes to live life to the fullest and challenge himself puts much in perspective. If you're longing for adventure, get your tickets now. Two shows only!

Back by popular demand! Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back at the Original and the continuation of our Tarantino series this week: Kill Bill Volume 2 and Inglourious Basterds. Watch Hitler get blown up real good!

KEEP SCROLLING for more from your favourite independent, KW's only locally-owned cinema!
