Come see three films that are actually on film!

Starting on Thursday, October 23, Rialto Cinemas Cerrito will be showing three movies that were not only shot on film, but will be projected on film. The Cerrito is one of the few theaters left that still has 35mm projection equipment, so this will be an exceptional experience. Director Paul Thomas Anderson said, “You don’t need reminding, but it always bears repeating that seeing Film on Film is the way Nature intended. So don’t go against Nature and seek out your local theater that projects film.”

The first of the films is “Frankenstein,” directed by Guillermo del Toro (“Pan’s Labryrinth,” “The Shape of Water,” “Pinocchio,” “Hellboy.”) This retelling of the classic story by Mary Shelley stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Christoph Waltz, and Mia Goth. Critics have called it “a breathtaking coup” and “a visual masterpiece.” It starts at the Cerrito on Thursday, October 23. For more information, click here.

The second film is “Nouvelle Vague,” directed by Richard Linklater, about the making of the French new wave film “Breathless.” It stars Guillaume Marbeck as Jean-Luc Godard, Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, Aubry Dullin as Jean-Paul Belmondo, and Adrien Rouyard as François Truffaut. It’s a love letter to classic film, a real treat for film lovers. Critics have described it as “delightful and vibrant” and a “charming homage.” It starts at the Cerrito on Friday, October 31.

The third film is “Train Dreams,” directed by Clint Bentley, based on the novella by Denis Johnson about an orphan in the early 20th century who helps expand the railroads into the Pacific Northwest. It stars Joel Edgerton, Clifton Collins Jr., Felicity Jones, and William H. Macy. Critics have described it as a “western epic of breathtaking visual splendor,” and “a perfectly formed movie.” It starts at the Cerrito on Friday, November 7. For more information, click here.

Tickets are now on sale for all three films. You can get them on-line or at the box office.

Thanks, and see you at the movies!
