Arts Calendar: Happenings for the Week of July 13
• 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' (July 13 and 16): To celebrate its 50th anniversary, a 4K restoration of Miloš Forman's 1975 film arrives in select theaters nationwide. Based on Ken Kesey's 1962 novel, it tells the story of convict Randle McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) who pleads mentally unstable to avoid labor duties in prison and is sent to a mental hospital where he leads a rebellion against the tyrannical Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher). The movie won five Oscars, including ones for Fletcher and Mr. Nicholson, and will be accompanied by an introduction from Leonard Maltin.
• 'Eddington' (July 18): In this western dark comedy by Ari Aster ('Midsommar'), a political standoff between the sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) during May 2020 causes trouble for the members of the titular New Mexico small town. Emma Stone, Austin Butler and Luke Grimes also make appearances.
