California Classics 2012
California Classics is bringing the sun, sea and Hollywood stars from the shores of California to your local Picturehouse this spring. At each free screening, you can indulge in a glass of Californian wine, grab a box of popcorn and head into the cinema as we explore the Golden State with our favourite blockbusters and cult classics back on the big screen.
California Classics presents MILK, BULLITT, CHINATOWN and SIDEWAYS. Starting with MILK on 14 March, we’ll be screening a film at 8.30 every Wednesday for four weeks. To apply for tickets and for more information, visit www.facebook.com/californiaclassics
CHINATOWN (15)
Wednesday 28 March, 8.30
This week California Classics presents CHINATOWN, the classic 1974 neo-noir film starring Jack Nicholson as private detective JJ ‘Jake’ Gittes. Hired by a woman to spy on her husband, Gittes soon uncovers a web of conspiracies involving murder, corruption and the Los Angeles water management system. The film was directed by Roman Polanski and written by Robert Towne; both men agreed that Los Angeles should be the essence of CHINATOWN. This is an L.A. movie rather than a Hollywood movie, with the city’s history playing its part in ensuring this was not, in Polanski’s words, “just another detective thing”.
