New This Week: Here starring Tom Hanks, and buzzy award-winner Emilia Pérez!

🇬🇧 November 24, 26 & 28

Come celebrate the life of Dame Maggie Smith (1934-2024) with a screening of a brand new restoration of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie… an unforgettable starring performance for which she won the Oscar for Best Actress in 1969.

Jean Brodie (Maggie Smith) is a free-spirited teacher at a Scottish girls’ school during the 1930s. She encourages her young pupils to embrace romantic ideals, educating them about love and art rather than hard facts. However, her controversial teaching philosophy draws the ire of the school’s headmistress, Miss Mackey (Celia Johnson), and, as Miss Brodie becomes entangled in a love triangle, her behavior towards her favorite students becomes increasingly manipulative.

Maggie Smith’s tour-de-force performance as a school-teacher slipping into spinsterhood is one of several notable achievements in this macabre personal tragedy. – Variety
