Edward II San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Thu., December 4, 7:00pm South of Market
The main takeaway from Milk -- don’t worry, we’re not going to spoil the ending -- is the importance of gays and lesbians expressing who they truly are. Gay expression, with all its iconoclasm, eroticism, and mystery, is the overriding theme of an ongoing Derek Jarman retrospective.... More >>

Milk Castro Theatre Daily from Tue., November 25 until Tue., December 23 Castro/Noe Valley
Harvey Milk was a 42-year-old nobody, a wisecracking Manhattan worker bee, when he moved to San Francisco in 1972. In fact, in his mind a homosexual who couldn’t tell and live the truth was worse than a nobody. Of course, as we all know — even those of us who migrated or were born... More >>

Quebec Film Week Opera Plaza Cinema Daily from Wed., December 10 until Sun., December 14 Hayes Valley/Tenderloin
Director Léa Pool’s suburbia abounds with absentee parents, cruel children, ominous neighborhood characters, and incipient tragedy. Don’t be too afraid, though, for we’re on the kinder, gentler outskirts of Montreal, not in Lynch Land. Mommy Is at the Hairdresser’s,... More >>
Battle in Seattle Red Vic Movie House Daily from Tue., December 2 until Wed., December 3, 7:15pm
more dates/times
Haight/Fillmore
Stuart Townsend may have been overly ambitious in making Battle in Seattle. He may have muddled his messages, trod on the feelings of others, and gotten his history wrong in places. His romance may be boring, his characters predictable. Maybe he never fully explained, or even understood, what... More >>
Dream of Life Red Vic Movie House Daily from Thu., December 4 until Sat., December 6 Haight/Fillmore
If Patti Smith's narration to Dream of Life was simplified into a stanza, it might go something like this: As long as I can remember I sought to be free/Bob Dylan once tuned this guitar for me/My mission is to give people my energy/Fred, Jesse, and Jackson are my family tree/New generations,...

The Exiles Red Vic Movie House Daily from Sat., December 6 until Sun., December 7 Haight/Fillmore
For the length of Kent MacKenzie's rediscovered 1961 feature, the past is not distant: It's vital, concrete, immediate—a record of vanished sites and vanquished dreams suspended in an eternally looped present. An account of 14 dusk-to-dawn hours in a community of relocated Native... More >>
Choke Red Vic Movie House Daily from Tue., December 9 until Wed., December 10 Haight/Fillmore
There's a whole lotta fucking going on in Choke, Clark Gregg's adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's first-person novel about a sex addict named Victor Mancini with severe Mommy issues—fucking in a cramped airplane bathroom, on a barnyard's itchy haystack, in a grimy toilet stall, in a... More >>

more dates/times
South of Market
The groundbreaking French novelist and filmmaker Alain Robbe-Grillet, who died in February, was a sly and good-natured provocateur. His screenplay for Alain Resnais’ watershed 1961 romantic drama, Last Year at Marienbad, introduced the arthouse crowd to a strain of bemused existentialism... More >>
