TONY MANERO presented by Jellied Reels
Santiago de Chile, 1978. As Pinochet's oppressive dictatorship stamps down on civil liberties, Raul Peralta escapes the tedium of everyday life by obsessing over Tony Manero - the Brooklyn disco king played by John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. When the national television station announces a Tony Manero impersonation contest, Raul inches closer to the limelight he craves, but at the same time unleashes an unbridled inner passion for his dancing idol. Directed by Pablo Larrain (Maria, Spencer, Jackie), with an unflinching performance by Alfredo Castro, Tony Manero is a darkly compulsive character study of an individual's pathologies in the face of a violent and morally decrepit society. “Marvelously unhinged study of pop culture obsession.” – The Village Voice "Both oddly fascinating and repellent." – The Guardian Jellied Reels serves up screenings of the best films you've never tried (or likely won't find on streaming)...

Horror with Hitchcock: Psycho
You're invited to celebrate Alfred Hitchcock's first foray into the horror genre in 1960! Join us for a special screening of Psycho (which celebrates its 65th year anniversary), starring Janet Leigh & Anthony Perkins. Paramount wouldn't fund the project as Hitchcock wanted to kill off the lead actress halfway into the movie, so he funded it himself and made it in black & white to save costs. It went on to become the highest grossing film of his career. With an introduction & post-screening Q&A from local historian & Hitchcock expert Gary Lewis (of Hitchcock Talks & Tours), this is a one-off Castle Cinema special not to miss. And in case you’re not familiar with the film, here’s a short synopsis:
Phoenix secretary Marion Crane, on the lam after stealing $40,000 from her employer in order to run away with her boyfriend, is overcome by exhaustion during a heavy rainstorm. Traveling on the back roads to avoid the police, she stops for the night at the ramshackle Bates Motel and meets the polite but highly strung proprietor, a young man with an interest in taxidermy and a difficult relationship with his mother.

Horror with Hitchcock: Psycho
You're invited to celebrate Alfred Hitchcock's first foray into the horror genre in 1960! Join us for a special screening of Psycho (which celebrates its 65th year anniversary), starring Janet Leigh & Anthony Perkins. Paramount wouldn't fund the project as Hitchcock wanted to kill off the lead actress halfway into the movie, so he funded it himself and made it in black & white to save costs. It went on to become the highest grossing film of his career. With an introduction & post-screening Q&A from local historian & Hitchcock expert Gary Lewis (of Hitchcock Talks & Tours), this is a one-off Castle Cinema special not to miss. And in case you’re not familiar with the film, here’s a short synopsis:
Phoenix secretary Marion Crane, on the lam after stealing $40,000 from her employer in order to run away with her boyfriend, is overcome by exhaustion during a heavy rainstorm. Traveling on the back roads to avoid the police, she stops for the night at the ramshackle Bates Motel and meets the polite but highly strung proprietor, a young man with an interest in taxidermy and a difficult relationship with his mother.
