	Nightshift Sunday May 11, 2025 at 20:45 Cinéma Moderne - Regular programming Cinema • Fiction Original English version New 4K Restoration Feature preceded by short film LET THE RED MOON BURN by Ralitsa Doncheva Over the course of a single nightshift, a West London hotel clerk (U.K. counterculture icon Jordan) plays silent witness to a nocturnal constellation of guests ranging from punk rockers and scenester magicians to seemingly staid businessmen and old-world gentry. As the hours march deeper into night and the varied clientele depart the waking world, the hotel transforms into an otherworldly, liminal space swaying between the everyday and the enchanting. Gorgeously photographed by Jon Jost (All the Vermeers in New York) with a soundtrack by Simon Jeffes of the legendary Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Nightshift is both a potent snapshot of London's early-'80s art scene (actor/poet Heathcote Williams and filmmaker Anne Rees-Mogg also star) and a bold, instantly engrossing artistic statement from director Robina Rose. A masterwork of surreal, somnambulant cinema, the film casts a resonant spell audiences won't soon forget. Essentially unseeable for decades, Arbelos is proud to bring Nightshift to North American audiences in this rich new 4K restoration courtesy of Lightbox Film Center.

Her erratic mood and default to self-destruct impacts all of her relationships, as moments of levity erupt into violence and optimism simmers to despair. The award-winning Kawai embodies Kana with an emotional intensity and clear-eyed precision that evokes Gena Rowlands in Cassavettes' A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE, while Yamanaka's sophomore work sculpts a subtle intimacy reminiscent of Pialat's À NOS AMOURS and masterfully conveys the chaos and disarray of a young woman at odds with the world as much as with herself.

It's an essential film in queer cinema, not just for its camp value but for its exploration of the complex mother-daughter relationship and its portrayal of a woman who refuses to fit into societal molds. Directed by Frank Perry and based on Christina Crawford's memoir, the film dives deep into the darker side of Hollywood stardom, revealing a woman's obsession with control, perfection, and the cost of fame. Faye Dunaway's performance as Joan Crawford is a masterclass in over-the-top intensity, delivering some of cinema's most memorable moments. View prices Buy tickets Regular 16,00 $ Other prices
