THE WESTERN RE-IMAGINED: A THREE-FILM SERIES CULMINATING WITH ARI ASTER’S EDDINGTON
This curated series explores the evolution of the American Western across generations – from the operatic brutality of The Wild Bunch to the reflective morality of Unforgiven – culminating in Eddington, the provocative new modern Western and paranoid thriller from Ari Aster.
Set in the Sun-scorched Southwest during the fractured summer of 2020, Eddington reimagines the frontier as a psychological battleground where misinformation, isolation, and fear turn neighbor against neighbor – and reality itself begins to slip.
Join us for two nights of iconic Westerns whose themes and tone helped shape acclaimed filmmaker Ari Aster’s, newest film, EDDINGTON
