Art cinema isn't curated by corporations; you don't stack up a year's worth of Publisher's Clearinghouse mailings and call it literature. And while a museum can do reasonably well by the "art" half of the "art cinema" equation, it ain't "cinema" to us unless it's seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, with popcorn in the lobby. Thus our best art cinema is also our only one: Oak Street. This year, under the stewardship of local art-film godfather Albert Milgrom, the theater deemphasized revivals... More »

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, our local museum of the moving image is reeling in the years, spending three weeks on a dozen and a half of its best-attended, best-loved repertory titles: Hitchcock's Vertigo (May 11-12), Kurosawa's Yojimbo (May 9-10), Godard's Breathless (April 29 through May 1), and the Maysles brothers' Grey Gardens (May 11-12).

At the start of its fifth year, our favorite local museum of the moving image has made a few concessions to modernity, installing new seats and a booming Dolby system to make its repertoire of classics, cult movies, and recent raves feel and sound even better. But the theater's distinguishing characteristic remains its programming--which, among the ever-more-endangered species of American rep houses, is the strongest this side of the Brattle in Harvard Square.
