HOLIDAYS 2026
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE BRATTLE!
The Brattle’s gift to everyone this holiday season is an avalanche of repertory programming, new releases, and special events. Get ready for a new restoration of Zhang Yimou’s gorgeous RAISE THE RED LANTERN, our annual Noirvember celebration (we’re getting hardboiled this year), a series of classic Disney animation, the complete features of David Lynch, the newest film from After Yang director Kogonada, and so much more. Of particular note: don’t miss a very special visit from actress and author Illeana Douglas on December 13!
