Cruel Summer

Thursdays • July 25 – August 29, 2024

Bad things happen to good people (and some not-so-good ones) in the sweltering heat throughout this series curated by The Brattle’s Alissa Darsa. The iconic films in this program feature people driven to extremes by hot weather—or in spite of it—including chainsaw wielding sickos, desperate ex-pats, Southern charmers, Brooklynites, determined detectives, one seriously dangerous schemer, and more!
