The Late Show: Premiere Run • Fri, Sep 6 – Mon, Sep 9

This rousing feature-length documentary tells the riotous inside story of the infamous sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll repertory cinema which inspired a generation during Britain’s turbulent Thatcher years. The infamous Scala was the real heart of punk and underground London, creating a scene that connected disparate groups under the banner of cinephilia.

“The Scala had magic. It was like joining a club—a very secret club, like a biker gang or something. It’s like they were a country club for criminals and lunatics and people that were high… Which is a good way to see movies.” – John Waters
