Friday Film Matinee! IB Technicolor Print!
Perhaps the only musical in history to be favorably compared to the work of the great French filmmaker René Clair (thanks Pauline Kael!), OLIVER! is Carol Reed’s adaptation of Charles Dicken’s classic tale about a Victorian era orphan searching for a place to belong.
The Friday Film Matinee is an ongoing program at The Brattle featuring special screenings of 35mm prints on Friday afternoons. We know that seeing a film on 35mm is worth skipping class or leaving work early for so come play hooky with us as we celebrate the magic of ‘reel film’ at The Brattle!
This program is funded in part by The Brattle’s 35mm Film Fund. Donations to this fund maintain our film projection equipment, train future projectionists, and ensure that The Brattle will be able to continue 35mm screenings well into the future.
