Richard Linklater's 1995 romance gets a screening at The Beverly Theater, bringing Jesse and Celine's one-night wander through Vienna to the intimate confines of downtown Las Vegas's Arts District. The film follows two strangers who meet on a train and decide to spend their remaining hours together before he catches a flight home, talking through everything from love to mortality as they walk the city streets until dawn.
Watching this one on the big screen suits it well—so much of the movie lives in long, unbroken conversations between Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, and there's something about a theater setting that lets those quiet exchanges breathe. The Beverly's 150-seat main theater keeps things close and personal, which feels fitting for a film built almost entirely on two people talking to each other in real time.
