Stella Dallas (1937, King Vidor, 106 minutes)

Stella and Stephen struggle to stay happy as their class differences become a problem; when they finally separate, Laurel is caught in the middle of the divorce. Soon, Lauren becomes the center of Stella's life. Stella tries to be a good mother, but realizes that her daughter can flourish quite well without her.

Under the Skin (2014, Jonathan Glazer, 108 min.)

Scarlett Johansson plays an alien who takes human form to prey on men—but ends up finding something like humanity within herself—in this bleak and startling thriller directed by Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast, Birth). With its powerful combination of Johansson’s brave performance, the moody cinematography of Daniel Landin, and the naturalistic (often improvised) dialogue, Under the Skin is a one-of-a-kind science-fiction horror, aided greatly by the unnerving atonal music of Mica Levi’s first score for a feature film.

Stella Dallas will screen first, followed by a 15 minute intermission, then Under the Skin.

Stella Dallas at 7:30 PM, followed by a 15 minute intermission, with Under the Skin at approx. 9:40 PM

Exclusive pre-recorded introduction from East of Eden series creator Zoe Kazan at all shows.
