The Beverly Theater brings John Boorman's intense 1972 thriller "Deliverance" to its intimate downtown venue. This screening offers a chance to experience the film's harrowing story of four Atlanta businessmen whose weekend canoe trip in rural Georgia goes terribly wrong. The movie's famous dueling banjos scene and its exploration of survival, masculinity, and the clash between civilization and wilderness have made it a lasting piece of American cinema.
The Beverly Theater's excellent acoustics and state-of-the-art screening capabilities make it an ideal setting for revisiting this influential film. With just 150 seats, the venue creates an immersive atmosphere that enhances the movie's tense, claustrophobic moments as the characters navigate both the treacherous river and increasingly dangerous encounters. The theater's location in the Arts District adds to the cultural experience, with the option to explore the neighborhood's galleries and dining spots before or after the screening.
