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)...

Mood Indigo

STUDIOCANAL PRESENTS invites you to a special Valentine’s Day screening at The Castle Cinema! Set in a surreal version of Paris, MOOD INDIGO is the stirringly poetic tale of Colin (Romain Duris) and Chloé (Audrey Tautou) whose love story is turned on its head when Chloé falls sick on their honeymoon with unusual symptoms. Dedicated to his beloved bride, Colin must go out to work in a series of increasingly absurd jobs to pay for the fresh flowers that Chloé needs to feel better. Adapted from Boris Vian's cult 1947 novel L'Écume des jours and imaginatively directed by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind & Be Kind Rewind), the film had a troubled production and release in France and overseas. Overflowing with detailed DIY effects and exuberant narrative detours, MOOD INDIGO nevertheless remains an unconventionally charismatic and lip-wobblingly poignant paean to love, creativity, and the music of Duke Ellington. STUDIOCANAL PRESENTS is the essential destination for great films and television; stream from an incredible library that includes box office hits, critically acclaimed award-winners, and lovingly restored classics.
