The Beverly Theater presents a special screening of "Bronson," Nicolas Winding Refn's intense biographical film about Britain's most notorious prisoner, Charles Bronson. The 2008 film features a powerhouse performance by Tom Hardy in one of his early career-defining roles, showcasing the violent and theatrical life of Michael Peterson, who renamed himself Charles Bronson after the American actor.

What makes this screening particularly compelling is the Q&A session with Brock Norman Brock, the experimental filmmaker and artist who not only appears in the film but also served as a consultant, bringing authenticity to the story through his real-life connection to Bronson. His insights into the making of the film and the nature of the infamous prisoner add a unique layer to the viewing experience that goes beyond a typical movie screening.

The intimate setting of the Beverly Theater's 150-seat main theater creates an ideal environment for both the visceral viewing experience of Refn's stylized cinematography and the more personal conversation that follows. It's the kind of evening that appeals to serious film enthusiasts and those interested in the intersection of art, crime, and performance.
