Sin City, the stylish neo-noir brought to life from Frank Miller's graphic novels, hits the screen at The Beverly Theater. Shot in stark black-and-white with bursts of color, the film weaves together several hard-boiled crime stories set in the fictional, corruption-soaked Basin City, featuring an ensemble cast and a visual style that mirrors the panels of Miller's original comics. Watching it in the Beverly's intimate 150-seat theater, with its strong acoustics, gives the film's shadowy visuals and pulpy dialogue room to really land.
It's a good pick for fans of graphic novels, film noir, or just striking visual filmmaking, and the Beverly's lounge and terrace make for a nice spot to grab a drink and talk over the film's twisted plotlines afterward.
