The Secret World of Arrietty (Kari-gurashi no Arietti)
NEVADA THEATRE 7/20: The Onyx Downtown at the Nevada Theatre is proud to present our third annual Studio Ghibli in July series, a celebration of the beloved Japanese animation studio’s greatest films for its 40th anniversary! From Academy Award-nominated director Hiromasa Yonebayashi comes a gorgeous and adventure-filled adaptation of The Borrowers, one of the most beloved children's books of all time. In a secret world hidden beneath the floorboards, miniature people called Borrowers live out of sight of their larger counterparts. But when brave and tiny Arrietty is out gathering supplies, she is discovered by Shawn, a human boy, and they begin to form a friendship that blossoms into an extraordinary adventure. All Ghibli films are shown in their English-dubbed versions.
Rashomon (1950)
SUNRISE CINEMA 8/9: Kurosawa Fest comes to The Onyx and The Onyx Downtown this summer, as we pay tribute to legendary director Akira Kurosawa with new restorations of some of his most celebrated epics! A riveting psychological thriller that investigates the nature of truth and the meaning of justice, RASHOMON is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made. Four people give different accounts of a man’s murder and the rape of his wife, which Kurosawa presents with striking imagery and an ingenious use of flashbacks. This eloquent masterwork and international sensation revolutionized film language and introduced Japanese cinema—and a commanding new star by the name of Toshiro Mifune—to the Western world. In Japanese w/ English subtitles.
