There's a reason this wasn't happening during Covid. Just reading any synopsis is a downer. These are all utterly depressing films. I'm unsure why American Cinematheque is doing this other than it doesn't want some of us to live.

An utterly insane Indian action movie that's coming back to theaters. It's sheer spectacle. 
... staggeringly choreographed action sequences, and an all-timer of a musical number, RRR is sheer big-screen joy from start to finish, and audiences have one last chance to see it big and loud as intended.

Opening Reception with the Artists

Thinkspace Projects is presenting TRNZ’s debut US solo show, ‘Cotton Harlequins.’ Inspired by the artist’s recent trips to local thrift shops and his childhood love of anime, the resulting collection is a colorful story told through clothing and facial expressions.‘Freedom Protesters’ will include 30 cut out flags of different colors with “FREE” written on it, and 12 16inch square paintings of the protesters. In some sense, I’m trying to create a protest scene using the most basic protest material- the Cardboard paper.Following our sold out solo exhibition with Yosuke Ueno at the Brand Library and Arts Center at the end of 2020, we are excited to showcase a special collection of 36 new works on paper from the artist as we gear up for his return in the summer of 2024.Thinkspace Projects is presenting Scott Listfield’s latest show with the gallery, ‘The Multiverse.’ This complex show is the result of two years of feeling stuck, both physically and mentally. On the other side of a difficult period globally and personally, Listfield set out to make a show that was autobiographical in nature.

JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles Salon, Level 5
$30

JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles’s popular Movie & Bites series’ new program features the debut episode of the Japanese serialized drama, “Goddess of the Line: Journey to the Ultimate Ramen!” (Gyoretsu no Megami - Ramen Saiyūki) [Length: 45 minutes]. This new Japanese television series is based on the popular manga in which the main character, Tatsumi Serizawa, is the owner of a ramen restaurant that draws long lines of customers every day. She is also a food consultant and gives a jump-start to struggling or financially distressed ramen shops. One day, customer Yutori Shiomi tells her that the ramen she ordered – a new item on the menu – was not delicious. She applies for a job with Serizawa and promises, despite her lack of professional experience, to help to improve her ramen.

The screening will be followed by a simple recipe demonstration and ramen tasting, featuring toppings that can be used to take your ramen at home to the next level. The event will provide cooking tips and recipes for making the most popular ramen toppings: seasoned eggs (ajitama) and braised pork chashū.

Guests will receive take-home ramen kits to try on their own.
