"With bitter irony seething in his blend of kinetic camerawork and silky black-and-white tones, Lou borrows the form of historical drama to expose the corruption and the terror of a modern surveillance state." - New Yorker Lou Ye's SATURDAY FICTION opens this Friday! Tickets: http://ow.ly/7esV50IUUr3... The incomparable Gong Li (Raise the Red Lantern) gives a mesmerizing, take-no-prisoners performance in Saturday Fiction, a slow-burn spy thriller set in Japanese-occupied Shanghai on the cusp of World War II. She plays acclaimed actress Jean Yu, who has returned to Shanghai from China after a long absence. Jean Yu is in rehearsals for a play to be directed by a former lover (Mark Chao), but she seems to have ulterior motives, functioning as a double agent and gathering intelligence for the Allies, including the fateful realization of Japan's imminent attack on Pearl Harbor. Shooting in evocative black-and-white, director Lou Ye (Spring Fever, Suzhou River) has created here a gripping thriller that builds to a nerve-wracking climax, and which never loses sight of the human beings caught up in the gears of history. #TheElmwood #RialtoCinemasElmwood #Elmwood #Berkeley #EastBay #Oakland #VaccinationRequired #SaturdayFiction #GongLi #LouYe #StrandReleasing

Discover the life and work of Raphael and learn about the elements and inspirations that made him one of the most spectacular and influential artists of the Renaissance. From portraits of his mother, who died when the painter was only 8 years old, to the female admirers who helped him on his road to success, Raphael, (1483-1520), was able to portray an ideal of celestial beauty, and to focus his gaze more on the psychology of his subjects' features than on their physical fo...rm, so that their personalities emerge in a striking manner.

I don't know about you, but we need a distraction. Something silly, light, fun and not at all serious. Our next Rialto Recommends DOWN WITH LOVE starring Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor is just the ticket. Released in 2003, DOWN WITH LOVE takes place in 1962 in New York City when love blossoms between a playboy journalist and a feminist advice author. Entertainment Weekly called DOWN WITH LOVE "A succulent piece of postmodern fluff." Sounds like just what the doctor or...dered. While the Philadelphia Inquirer said "It's pure pleasure to watch Zellweger and McGregor bound across a set with the swinger confidence of Frank Sinatra taking the stage of the Sands Hotel." Pour yourself a cocktail and enjoy DOWN WITH LOVE available for a modest rental fee from Apple, Amazon, GooglePlay, YouTube, Vudu and DirectTV. Cheers! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0309530/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 See more

While the votes are being counted and the pundits pundit why not take enjoy a heartwarming story of friendship. Our next Rialto Recommends is Peter Chelsom's 1998 film THE MIGHTY. The film tells the story of a strong friendship between a young boy with Morquio's syndrome and an older boy who is always bullied because of his size. Adapted from the novel, Freak the Mighty, the film explores a building of trust and friendship. Kevin, an intelligent guy helps out Maxwell to imp...rove his reading skills. In return, Kevin wants Maxwell to take him out places since he is not allowed out unauthorized. Being the social outcasts of the town, Kevin and Maxwell come to realize that they are similar to each other and accept that they are "freaks" and nothing will stop them. Spirited and sweet with an emphasis on the healing power of friendship, THE MIGHTY is a modest charmer that comes by its whimsy honestly. Roger Ebert said "What I liked most about the movie is the way it shows that imagination can be a weapon in life." The Austin Chronicle said "Sentimental and quixotic, THE MIGHTY is good family fare; it's especially tuned in to the narrative needs of those suffering (in the past or the present) those distinctively adolescent agonies of feeling like a social misfit. THE MIGHTY is streaming on CBS All Access or available to rent for a modest fee from Amazon, Vudu and others. Check out THE MIGHTY and share it with the younger people in your life. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119670/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_6 See more

We return to the sometimes wacky world of the Coen Brothers for our next Rialto Recommends. RAISING ARIZONA was their second feature and first to be released a major studio - 20th Century Fox. When a childless couple of an ex-con and an ex-cop decide to help themselves to one of another family's quintuplets, their lives become more complicated than they anticipated. A terrifically original, eccentric screwball comedy, Raising Arizona may not be the Coens' most disciplined ...movie, but it's one of their most purely entertaining. Starring Holly Hunter, Nicholas Cage and John Goodman, RAISING ARIZONA is streaming Cinemax, MaxGo, and DirectTV or is available to rent for a modest fee from Amazon, GooglePlay, YouTube, Vudu, DirectTV and others. Check out RAISING ARIZONA and have some laughs with the Coen Brothers and a great cast! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093822/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 See more

We finish up our thrills and chills Rialto Recommends suggestions with Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi/horror classic ALIEN. In deep space, the crew of the commercial starship Nostromo is awakened from their cryo-sleep capsules halfway through their journey home to investigate a distress call from an alien vessel. The terror begins when the crew encounters a nest of eggs inside the alien ship. An organism from inside an egg leaps out and attaches itself to one of the crew, causin...g him to fall into a coma. A modern classic, Alien blends science fiction, horror and bleak poetry into a seamless whole. Salon said "A haunted-house movie set in space, Alien also has a profoundly existentialist undertow that makes it feel like a film noir -- the other genre to feature a slithery, sexualized monster as its classic villain." While Entertainment Weekly said "In space, the famous tagline went, no one can hear you scream. In Alien, you can hear lessons for the sci-fi future in a great milestone from the recent past." ALIEN is streaming on HBO, HBOMax, and DirectTV or is available to rent for a modest fee from Apple, Amazon, GooglePlay, YouTube, Vudu and others. Whether you have never seen ALIEN and are watching it for the first time or you are watching it again, share your thoughts on this modern classic with us in the comments. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078748/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 See more

In honor of the passing of Sir Sean Connery we are choosing his 1990 film THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER as our next Rialto Recommends. Based on the popular Tom Clancy novel, this suspenseful movie tracks Soviet submarine captain Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) as he abandons his orders and heads for the east coast of the United States. Equipped with innovative stealth technology, Ramius' submarine, "Red October," is virtually invisible. However, when an American sub briefly detects t...he Russians' presence, CIA agent Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) sets out to determine Ramius' motives, fearing he may launch an attack on the U.S. Perfectly cast and packed with suspense, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER is an old-fashioned submarine thriller with plenty of firepower to spare. The LA Times said "You may not be limp from accumulated tension when this hunt is over, but its cautiously upbeat global message leaves a satisfying glow and it operates with a crackerjack premise." While Variety said "THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER is a terrific adventure yarn." THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER is streaming on Showtime and Sling or is available to rent for a modest fee from GooglePlay, YouTube, Vudu, Apple, Amazon and others. Check out THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER and share your favorite Sean Connery movies with us in the comments. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099810/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 See more
