Attention indecisive nonconformists! Turn your visionary gaze toward the
proletariat neighborhood of Sawtelle, home of Laemmle’s Royal Theatre. At this 1-screen cinema parlor quality reigns
over quantity; although selection is limited (each movie runs for a few weeks),
they consistently feature sterling films that often are passed up by larger
venues. In other words, the $11.00
general admission ticket tends to be worth it.
This past month A Separation (Iran)
and now, Footnote (Israel) - winner
and runner-up for this year’s Best Foreign Language Film Oscar - have dominated
its silver screen. Footnote (which I highly recommend) will be replaced by the Franco-German, Goodbye First Love on April 20. Clearly, they don’t
fear subtitles here.
If you still can’t justify spending eleven bucks on an art house
flick, sign up for their Sneak Preview Club and get access to early screenings
of new movies for free.
Laemmle also has two other theaters on the Westside: Monica 4 in Santa
Monica and Music Hall 3 in Beverly Hills.
