March 5th 2014. Pick of the Day.
New York City's premiere resource for classic film screenings in the metropolitan area. Offering reviews, recommendations, venues and a host of links keeping classic film and the silver screens alive.

MoMA

BAM Cinematek
MARKETA LAZAROVA (1967) Frantisek Vlacil
Today's Pick? Aw hell, let's finally show Frantisek Vlacil's MARKETA LAZAROVA some love before its week-long booking at BAM Cinematek goes poof! The tale of feuding feudals during the Middle Ages has been hailed by some as Czechoslovakia's finest celluloid export, and is presented in what promises to be a stunning new 35mm print. Never seen it, so I'm very looking forward to it. It'll be weather appropriate anyway.
For more info on these and all NYC's classic film screenings in March '14 click on the interactive calendar on the upper right hand side of the page. And be sure to follow me on both Facebook, where I provide further info and esoterica on the rep film circuit and star birthdays, and Twitter, where I provide a daily feed for the day's screenings and other blathery. Back tomorrow with a brand new Pick, til then remember; today's the first day of Lent. No Candy Crush til Easter.
