March's offering was The Dead, John Huston's last film, which was based on a James Joyce story from his collection The Dubliners. This month, on April 19, Aarons and his guests will watch and discuss Terrence Malick's Badlands. Malick's film, which was based on a true story, presents the protagonists as truly despicable individuals.
Potential problems are twofold.
First, if the screenings aren't well-attended, the theater may not be able to afford to continue them through the summer. And second, many older films are very hard to find at a reasonable price. One suspects that if the first problem is overcome, the second won't present too difficult a challenge. In the era of videotape and CD-rom, repertory cinema is difficult to come by. Have a bagel, sip some joe, and talk cinema with your friends and neighbors.
