mpls movie screenings: weekend of may 27

It's memorial weekend for most, but moving weekend for me.  That will explain why this post is brief and a  little chaotic.  But you'll probably all be up at your cabins this weekend anyway.  Enjoying some sun, catching some fish, sipping some drinks, grilling some brats.... But for those lucky few looking for some flicks, listen up:

Take-Up is wrapping up the Takemitsu series with the film Woman in the Dunes.  The film won the Special Jury Prize at the 1964 Cannes and director Hiroshi Teshigahara was nominated for Best Director at the Academy Awards.  As for the movie, well Take-Up calls it an "existential erotic thriller."  You shouldn't need anything else to entice you.

We got some 70's era martial arts coming to you from the folks at BLKMRKTCINEMA.  They're screening the film Master of the Flying Guillotine at the Riverview tonight at tomorrow at 11:30.  Fans of Wu-Tang Clan might recognize a few of the lines in the film.  Quentin Tarantino is a huge fan, and so are most critics apparently as the film has a 90% fresh rating on rotten tomatoes.

Friday & Saturday, May 27th & 28th at 11:30pm.
Admission is $7.

Finally we got some spaghetti westerns playing at St Anthony courtesy of the Film Society (more specifically they're showing Sergio Leone's "The Man With No Name" trilogy, including one of my favorite spaghetti westerns The Good, The Bad And The Ugly).  Willow Creek is going retro again this weekend with a screening of the Bill Paxton/Helen Hunt vehicle Twister (Wow, that's really unfortunate timing), and the latest Woody Allen is at Uptown.
