…at the best damn art- house movie venue in the world, The Cinematheque. This weekend, my film hero, and director of The Cinematheque, John Ewing, who was by the way, recently interviewed on NPR, is showing some films that are crime-themed.
Oh, be still my Hitchcock-Lynch-Tarrantino-esque heart.
Hace frio de Cleveland. It’s supposed to be rainy and cold…so along with being somewhere in the beginning, middle and 564th edit of a couple short n’ sexies I’m writing, I’m also going to slip into a dark theater and experience a little thriller-crime films, Cleveland style.
The films below are sure rubber-necking crime scenes I’m interesting in viewing:
AJAMI - Germany/Israel, 2009, Scandar Copti, Yaron Shani
TERRIBLY HAPPY - Denmark, 2008, Henrik Ruben Gomez
RED RIDING: 1980 - Britain, 2009, James Marsh
Be sure and check out the Cinematheque schedule for these thriller, crime-drama show times. Oh, and if thriller-crime drama films ain’t your thang, check the schedule each week for other genres of film. John has great taste and he spans the world searching for rare, thought-provoking films just for me and others that also enjoy great cinematic experiences.
Dark theater, anyone?

somewhere in the beginning, middle and 564th edit Hey! I know that place.
Sounds like some good movies. Those Danes can make some awesome films. Of course, I do dig the thriller-crime drama sorts, but my podunk town doesn’t have a hip movie house. Fortunately, I do have IFC and Sundance and such. I’m seeing some popcorn in my future…
Hi Craig,
Yeah, I know you’re fingers are busy writing away on a story. Good for you!
Most of Cleveland hunkered down to watch the Cav’s game on a unusual balmy-windy night, I slipped off to the theater to watch the Danish thriller-noir, Terribly Happy. It had a Twilight Zone twist at the end. Yes, get the popcorn ready and be sure to add this one to your list. Very unpredictably predicatable. I know you know what I mean.
