THE TALE OF KING CRAB
(105min) 2022 Italy Alessio Rigo de Righi & Matteo Zoppis, director
Ends Jun 2
The Tale of King Crab delighted audiences at the Cannes Film Festival who hailed its mix of Italian folklore and the surreal. Luciano is an outcast in his isolated Italian village at the end of the 19th century. His thirst for wine, women, and battling the authorities end in exile to the tip of Argentina's Patagonia. Here, he stumbles upon a Gold Rush, with miners searching for a legendary treasure of gold. But Luciano has luck on his side - a dazzling red King Crab that can locate hidden gold. It's a great adventure, but Luciano's search for meaning, love, and redemption brings an unexpected profundity that lingers long after the curtain comes down.

EXHIBITION ON SCREEN 
Exhibition on Screen: PISSARRO: FATHER OF IMPRESSIONISM
(94min) 2022 UK David Bickerstaff, director
Opens May 29
Bravo to Exhibition on Screen, for giving art lovers access to museums and artworks in select cinemas around the world! This May, the spotlight is on “The Father of Impressionism,” Camille Pissarro. In the first major retrospective in four decades, the Ashmolean Museum Oxford opens its archives to reveal their wonderfully extensive and rich collection of this forward-thinking artist’s work. The film follows Pissarro to Paris, from life as the leader of a scorned artistic movement to the revered “old man” who championed Claude Manet, Paul Cézanne, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who called Pissarro’s work ‘revolutionary’ His paintings gain an added dimension with interviews with curators, and a narration consisting of the many letters the often-misunderstood radical wrote to his most loyal audience: his family.
