Movies to see this week: 'Suspicion,' 'There Will Be Blood,' 'It Follows'
It's just under a week until the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival (MSPIFF) starts at The Main Cinema, but a few preview screenings are happening this week for anyone looking to get a jump on the fest.
Outside of the fest previews, there are rarely screened exploitation films, modern classics, and the continuation of the Hitchcock Film Festival.
Here are the repertory movies (and festival films) you can catch at movie theaters around the Twin Cities this week.
Wednesday, March 26 at Emagine Willow Creek
Genre Brain Melt is bringing something a little extra to its screening of Double Agent 73. The movie will be preceded by a Zoom conversation with Lisa Petrucci of Something Weird Video, a boutique home video label that preserves and sells movies that might not otherwise have a home in the transient world of streaming.
That mission includes Double Agent 73 and other films by Doris Wishman. Wednesday's feature is an action/exploitation film starring Chesty Morgan that is pretty absurd. 9900 Shelard Pkwy., Plymouth ($6)
Thursday, March 27 at The Heights Theater
The Hitchcock Film Festival continues with a unique film from the master of suspense. Suspicion isn't his standard fare, packed with murder and mystery. It's a tension-building exercise in upsetting expectations as Lina (Joan Fontaine) and Johnnie (Cary Grant) get married without knowing all that much about one another.
As it's revealed that Johnnie is a playboy without any money, Lina becomes suspicious of where the money comes from and whether he has nefarious plans for her and his college chum, Beaky (Nigel Bruce). 3951 Central Ave. NE, Columbia Heights ($16–$16.75)
Thursday, March 27–Tuesday, April 1 at The Trylon Cinema
The Trylon's run through the films of Paul Thomas Anderson is almost at its end. This week, his There Will Be Blood returns to the big screen. Daniel Plainview (an Oscar-winning performance from Daniel Day-Lewis) is a ruthless oil prospector, willing to do absolutely anything to find oceans of black gold. It remains a powerful, disturbing look at greed and American ambition. 2820 E 33rd St., Minneapolis ($8)
Friday, March 28 at The Main Cinema
While MSPIFF doesn't officially get going until April 2, the MSP Film Society is previewing some festival highlights this week for MSPIFF passholders.
Those previews include Julie Keeps Quiet, the story of a 15-year-old tennis phenom (Tessa Van den Broeck) who attempts to keep her focus on the game even as her coach comes under investigation following the suicide of one of his students. Julie wants to become a star, but her silence will have consequences. 115 SE Main St., Minneapolis ($19)
Monday, April 1 at Alamo Drafthouse
It Follows has become a modern horror classic. After what seemed to be an innocent sexual encounter, Jay (Maika Monroe) can't escape the sense that something is following her. It's a tense and creepy film that takes the form of an urban legend come to life but also has unsettling things to say about youth and innocence. 9060 Hudson Rd., Woodbury ($11.86)Movie screening in the Twin Cities this week:
Mar. 26: Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) at Edina Theatre

Jim Marshall, Iron Man Defensive End for the Vikings, Dies at 87
Jim Marshall, a former Minnesota Viking who started in more consecutive N.F.L. games than any other defensive player, but who may be best remembered for romping 66 yards into the wrong end zone after recovering a fumble during a game in 1964, died on Tuesday in Minneapolis. He was 87. His wife, Susan Landwehr Marshall, confirmed the death, in a hospital. She did not specify the cause but said he had been hospitalized for an extended period. Marshall started every game for the Vikings over the franchise's first 19 seasons, making four Super Bowl appearances as part of Minnesota's formidable defensive line, known as the Purple People Eaters. When he retired after the 1979 season, two weeks before his 42nd birthday, he had started 270 consecutive regular-season games at defensive end. Quarterback Brett Favre broke that N.F.L. record decades later in his waning years with the Vikings, finishing with 297 consecutive starts. Marshall also started in 19 playoff games during a dominant stretch for the Vikings, who won the N.F.C. Central division 10 times in 11 years across the 1960s and '70s. But although Minnesota advanced to four Super Bowls, it lost every one decisively. (The Vikings remain one of a dozen N.F.L. teams that have never won a Super Bowl.) Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

French Open Announces Historic Qinwen Zheng News on Sunday
French Open Announces Historic Qinwen Zheng News on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka continues to dominate in Grand Slam tournaments, recently making it to the French Open quarterfinals. But women's tennis at Roland-Garros has a lot more interesting storylines to offer. Advertisement For one, Sabalenka's next opponent, World No. 7 Qinwen Zheng, just made history in the competition following her Round of 16 win on Sunday. Zheng beat No. 19 seed Liudmila Samsonova in a thrilling three-set affair, 7-6(5), 1-6, 6-3. The match lasted for 2 hours and 47 minutes, with both Top 20 players refusing to give up. With the victory, Zheng became just the second Chinese player in the Open Era to reach the quarterfinals of the French Open. Li Na did it first in 2011 when she went all the way to the finals and won the clay Grand Slam. Roland-Garros' official social media accounts made the announcement following her win, stating in the caption: "Qinwen Zheng becoming the second Chinese player in the open era to reach the women's singles quarter-finals at Roland-Garros had to be our Stat of the Day by @Infosys." Sure enough, it will be interesting to see if Zheng Qinwen will be able to replicate Li Na's success in the French Open. Facing Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals is a tough challenge, but it's worth noting that the Chinese star defeated the Belarusian top seed in their last meeting on the clay court at last month's Rome Open. Advertisement For now, though, Zheng is simply relishing the history she made and her first quarterfinals at Roland-Garros. Qinwen Zheng of China returns a shot during her match against Liudmila Mullane-Imagn Images "I am super happy, honestly," Zheng shared after Sunday's victory, per WTA. "There is not many words that can describe my emotions, because I've been trying every year, and that's the real first time for me to be in quarterfinals in Roland Garros."
