"Its four shows span eight decades, from the original 1954 Godzilla (quite a different movie from the drastically altered U.S. release version) and Akira Kurosawa's 1957 Throne of Blood (an ambitious feudal-era spin on Macbeth) to the beloved 2016 anime your name. and last year's Kokuho, an epic three-hour drama set in the Kabuki theater world that's now the highest-grossing Japanese live action feature ever."
"More conspicuous has been the re-opening of the Castro Theatre, whose controversial makeover as a venue primarily for live performance was negotiated with a proviso that it also regularly host a minimum number of film-centric events. After many months of renovation, last week saw the public invited in again with a screening of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert."
Japantown's New People has returned to screening films with "Nippon Vibes," a weekend of Japanese cinema co-presented by the Roxie. The program spans eight decades, including the original 1954 Godzilla, Akira Kurosawa's 1957 Throne of Blood, the 2016 anime your name., and last year's Kokuho, a three-hour Kabuki-world drama that became the highest-grossing Japanese live-action feature. The Castro Theatre reopened after a controversial makeover that prioritized live performance but required a minimum number of film events; reopening programming began with The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and will expand mid-March. The Castro will host the local premiere of Pillion with director Harry Lighton and star Harry Melling in person, followed by a party at The Stud. Melling plays Colin, a dweeby gay man who lives with supportive-if-hover-y parents and sings in his father's barbershop quartet.
