Critics are calling “One Battle After Another” a major achievement for director Paul Thomas Anderson. Even as a big-budget action film, audiences still see his signature depth, style, and humanism. With stellar performances from Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, and two of the best car chases on the big screen this year, you want to be sure and catch this one while it’s at Lincoln Theater!
Exhibition on Screen
‘Caravaggio’
(NR; 1 hour, 30 minutes)
Five years in production, this is the most extensive film ever made about one of the greatest artists of all time – Caravaggio. Featuring masterpiece after masterpiece and with firsthand testimony from the artist himself on the eve of his mysterious disappearance, this beautiful new film reveals Caravaggio as never before.
Award-winning filmmakers David Bickerstaff and Phil Grabsky delve into the hidden narratives of Caravaggio’s life, piecing together clues embedded within his incredible art. The intriguing self-depictions within his works — sometimes disguised, sometimes in plain sight — offer a rare window into his psyche and personal struggles.
