Movies to see this week: 'Stop Making Sense,' 'The Master,' 'Lost Highway'
Stories about musicians, concert films, films with live music, and iconic soundtracks are all part of the lineup local curators are sharing this week. Here are some of the great repertory screenings taking place in Twin Cities theaters from March 12–18. Thursday, Mar. 13 at Emagine Willow Creek Another week, another run of David Lynch films. In addition to screenings of Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, one of his more complex works (this side of Inland Empire) arrives at Emagine Willow Creek. Bill Pullman and Patricia Arquette star in the meandering movie about videotapes that portend a musician's murder conviction. It probably would have been a nice fit with the recent Film Noir Festival from The Trylon and Heights theaters, which focused on films that have characters road-tripping around the U.S. Lost Highway certainly has crime, wayward souls, and, as the title suggests, the open road. 9900 Shelard Pkwy., Plymouth ($11.60) Thursday, Mar. 13 at The Heights Theater David Byrne and The Talking Heads are coming to The Heights. Not in person, but in their iconic concert film, shot over three nights at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. It's not exactly hard to find, but with it absent from streaming services (except to rent), it's not as easy to catch as many other films. The classic was remastered in 2023 for its 40th anniversary, putting a fresh shine into the big suits and enviable dance moves. 951 Central Ave NE, Columbia Heights ($13–$13.75) Friday, Mar. 14 at The Trylon Cinema The Trylon continues its trek through the work of Paul Thomas Anderson this week with The Master. (Punch Drunk Love also plays later in the week.) It draws thinly veiled inspiration from Scientology and its founder, L. Ron Hubbard. The movie is often subtle (though, not always) and presents an at times disturbing portrait of people who crave power, as well as the individuals who are drawn to them. The cast is almost too full of award-winning actors, including Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Jesse Plemons, Rami Malek, and Laura Dern. 2820 E 33rd St., Minneapolis ($8) Wednesday, Mar. 12 at Edina Mann Theatres Edina Theatres' relatively new repertory series brings Stanley Kubrick's most enigmatic film to the screen this week. Famously beautiful and frustrating, 2001 has so many memorable scenes that it's easy to forget all the other passages, like the meeting on the space station before Dave (Keir Dullea) and Frank (Gary Lockwood) get aboard the Discovery with HAL 9000. That makes it a pretty enjoyable re-watch. [Cues "Also Sprach Zarathustra."] 3911 W. 50th St., Edina ($12.15) Tuesday, Mar. 18 at The Parkway Theater Carl Theodor Dreyer's silent film belongs in a small group from its era that aren't just enjoyable but remain impactful. Maria Falconetti's portrayal of Joan of Arc is emotional and can still move viewers almost 100 years after its release. Tuesday's screening at the Parkway will have a live score performed by Paris 1919, the group of composer Chris Strouth. 4814 Chicago Ave., Minneapolis ($20.21–$23)More movies screening in the Twin Cities this week: Mar. 12: 2001 A Space Odyssey (1968) at Edina Theatre Mar. 12: Moonstruck (1987) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Mar. 12: Blue Velvet (1986) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 12: Secret Movie Night at Emagine Willow Creek Mar. 12–13: The Great Muppet Caper (1981) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Mar. 12: Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story (2024) at The Trylon Cinema Mar. 12: Back to the Future (1985) at St. Michael Cinema Mar. 12–13: Despicable Me (2010) at St. Michael Cinema Mar. 12–13: Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs (2025) at The Trylon Cinema Mar. 12–15: Despicable Me (2010) at St. Michael Cinema Mar. 12–16: Sing (2016) at St. Michael Cinema Mar. 12–16: The Secret Life of Pets (2016) at St. Michael Cinema Mar. 12 and 16: Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack (1988) at AMC Coon Rapids, AMC Eden Prairie, AMC Rosedale, AMC Southdale, CMX Odyssey, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, Emagine Willow Creek, and Oakdale Cinema (Mar. 12 only) Mar. 13: Jurassic Park (1994) at St. Michael Cinema Mar. 13 and 16: Oldboy (2003) at Grandview Theatres Mar. 13 and 15–16: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) at Emagine Lakeville Mar. 14–18: Hop (2011) at Emagine East Bethel, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Mar. 14 and 17–19: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 14: The Ordinaries (Die Gewöhnlichen) (2022) at The Trylon Cinema Mar. 14 and 16–18: Leprechaun (1993) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 14–15: Jumanji (1995) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 14–16: Smallfoot (2018) at Oakdale Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, Rosemount Cinema, Southbridge Crossing Cinema, and West End Cinema Mar. 15: Shrek (2001) and Shrek 2 (2004) with Taste the Movies Mar. 15: The Lady Eve (1941) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 15: The Lady Eve (1941) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 15–16 and 19: Wild at Heart (1990) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 15–16: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) at Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek (Mar. 16 only) Mar. 16: Charlie's Angels (2000) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 16–17: Top Gun (1986) at Oakdale Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, Rosemount Cinema, and West End Cinema Mar. 16–18: Punch Drunk Love (2002) at The Trylon Cinema Mar. 17: Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) at The Parkway Theater Mar. 17: Near Dark (1987) at Emagine Willow Creek Mar. 18: The Watermelon Woman (1996) at Alamo Drafthouse

Movies to see this week: 'Natural Born Killers,' 'Titane,' Italian Film Fest
The Italian Film Fest is getting underway at The Main Cinema, the Film Noir Festival at the Heights Theater continues, and lots of offbeat films dot the calendar this week. Here are the repertory films you can catch around the Twin Cities this week. Thursday, Feb. 27 at Emagine Willow Creek Sailor (Nic Cage) and Lula (Laura Dern) are on the run from Lula's mother (Diane Ladd), who doesn't approve of their relationship, and a rogue's gallery of Lynchian characters standing in the way of their doomed romance. (That includes Isabella Rossellini, Crispin Glover, Willem Dafoe, Harry Dean Stanton, and Grace Zabriskie.) Emagine is hosting another film in the parade of David Lynch screenings that started after his death last month. It may not have the stature of Lynch's most beloved films, but he didn't really make duds. Thursday, Feb. 27 and Monday, Feb. 2 at Grandview Theatre Natural Born Killers, co-written by Quentin Tarantino, is unique in Oliver Stone's filmography. Not because it's immensely violent or controversial (at least at the time of it's release), but because it's stylish in a way that isn't typical of his movies. (Plus, there's no JFK conspiracy in it.) Mickey (Woody Harrelson) and Mallory (Juliette Lewis) are a sort of hyperviolent Bonnie and Clyde rampaging across the country, killing and committing crimes that turn them into media darlings. It's a critique of media sensationalism that has arguably become closer to the mark with age, even if it's been critiqued itself for sensationalizing violence. Thursday, Feb. 27 at the Minneapolis Institute of Art The Mia is screening Martin Scorsese's episodic epic, based on the life of the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, who, as he ages, reckons the persecution of the Tibetan people under Chinese rule. It stars Tenzin Thuthob Tsarong, a grandnephew of the Dalai Lama. The Disney-released film, unsurprisingly, was the subject of pushback from the Chinese government before it was even released. Disney, of course, caved to economic forces and helped bury it on its release. Despite four Oscar nominations, which included recognition for Philip Glass' great score and outstanding cinematography from Coen Bros. regular Roger Deakins, it's one of the less-discussed of Scorsese's movies, and that's too bad. It pairs nicely with the museum's recent opening of its Tibetan Shrine Room, so make some time to visit the new permanent exhibit. Sunday, Mar. 2 at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival The Italian Film Festival gets underway at The Main Cinema this week. It's bringing in a parade of contemporary and classic Italian films. Among those is Il Postino, a film that doesn't often get a spotlight more than 30 years after its release. (Though it got plenty of attention when it was released and nominated for Best Picture at the 1996 Oscars.) Massimo Troisi, who got a posthumous Oscar nomination for the role, plays a postman who falls in love with poetry while delivering mail to the poet Pablo Neruda. His relationship with the legendary Chilean poet helps with his attempts to court the woman of his dreams. Monday, Mar. 3 at Alamo Drafthouse If you didn't find enough visual madness and narrative oddity with Lynch earlier in the week, director Julia Ducournau is here for you. Agathe Rousselle stars as a violent go-go dancer with a fetish for cars following an accident that left her with a unique titanium implant. Her story collides with a spate of unexplained murders and Vincent, who is mysteriously reunited with his son 10 years after he went missing. It's visually wild, complex, and delightful if you're able to let go and let yourself be taken for the screening in the Twin Cities this week: Feb. 27: Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024) at AMC Southdale and AMC Coon Rapids Feb.27: Babe: Pig in the City (1998) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine East Bethel, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 27: 20 Years in the Crypt: Embedded on Tour with Dead Moon at Cloudland Theater Feb. 27: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Documentary at The Main Cinema Feb. 27: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Live Action at Landmark Lagoon Feb. 27: 2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films - Animation at The Main Cinema and Landmark Lagoon Feb. 27: Duel (1971) at The Heights Theater, part of the Film Noir Festival Feb. 27: The Princess Bride (1987) at The Parkway Theater Feb. 27: Moonlight (2016) at CMX Odyssey IMAX, AMC Eden Prairie, AMC Rosedale, and AMC Southdale Feb. 27: Il Tempo Che Ci Vuole (2024) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Feb. 28–Mar. 4: Beethoven (1992) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine East Bethel, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 28–Mar. 4: Oppenheimer (2023) at AMC Southdale Feb. 28: Semidei (2023) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Feb. 28: Tutto Quello Che Vuoi (2017) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Feb. 28: Un Altro Ferragosto (2024) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Feb. 28–Mar. 4: Boogie Nights (1997) at The Trylon Cinema Mar. 1: Leprechaun In the Hood (2000) at The Main Cinema Mar. 1: Io la Conoscevo Bene (1965) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Mar. 1: Familia (2024) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Mar. 1: Ricomincio da Tre (1981) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Mar. 1: Nosferatu (1922) at Radiohead: Silent Synced at Emagine Willow Creek and Emagine Eagan Mar. 1: C'é Ancora Domani (2023) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Mar. 1: Kids' Film Fair 2025 at The Walker Art Center Mar. 1–2: Shrek (2001) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, Emagine White Bear, and Emagine Willow Creek Mar. 1: Shrek (2001) movie party at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 1: Interstellar (2014) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 2: Parasite (2019) at Alamo Drafthouse Mar. 2: Just Mercy (2019) at Oakdale Cinema and West End Cinema Mar. 2: Straight Outta Compton (2015) at Oakdale Cinema and West End Cinema Mar. 2: Sei Fratelli (2024) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Mar. 2: El Paraiso (2023) at The Main Cinema, part of the Italian Film Festival Mar. 2: Gloria!
