IN COLD BLOOD- Movie of Capote's novel- Screening tomorrow!

Salutations, cinemaniacs! Tomorrow night marks our final episode of inebriated cinema as Videothèque and Huron SubStation present Cinema at the Station... it's the last night of our "movie and drinks" series everyone's been slurring about! This farewell festivity happens TOMORROW NIGHT, Thursday, November 3rd. (Note the important schedule changes mentioned below!)

We wrap the series with a presentation of IN COLD BLOOD, Richard Brooks' stylish and powerful 1967 drama adapted from Truman Capote's novel about a shocking real-life murder case. Capote's authoring of this book is the subject of the film Capote, currently in theaters, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and directed by Bennett Miller.

In Cold Blood is a daring cinematic portrait, employing flashbacks to fully examine what drives an individual to commit thoughtless and brutal crimes, while using a highly innovative jazz score by Quincy Jones to capture the moody atmosphere. Capote's own role as researcher-narrator of the young criminals' intense friendship, fantasies, and troubled lives is effectively brought to the screen in this striking, groundbreaking drama.

Two aimless drifters, Perry Smith (Robert Blake) and Dick Hickock (Scott Wilson), target the home of Kansas businessman Herbert Clutter. After breaking into the house, they find no money, and Smith and Hickock brutally kill the entire Clutter family. They escape the scene of the crime and head for Mexico, but they eventually go back to the States, ultimately returning to Kansas. After being chased for almost a year, the troubled drifters are captured and sentenced to death.

Don't miss our presentation of In Cold Blood tomorrow night, projected in large-scale, full digital quality. Beer and wine will be served at our donation-based bar (with ID), or BYOB! Come early and socialize over drinks to the sounds of our lounge DJ. Here's where it all takes place:
