Triangle of Sadness, Nocebo + Everything Everywhere: Catch These 2022 Power Films at This QC Micro-Cinema
Last day of screening is on January 31.
(SPOT.ph) Blockbusters come and go, but if it's movies of a different flavor you're in need of, then Cinema ‘76 is the place to go.
From January 25 to 31, the micro-cinema is screening critically acclaimed films Everything Everywhere All At Once, Triangle of Sadness, and Nocebo at its new Tomas Morato branch, with one screening per movie per day until the month ends. The first two movies premiered in Philippine cinemas last June and November, respectively, and now they are back on the big (or should we say, small?) screen for another run. So if you missed out the first time around, or simply want that type of cinema experience you can only get in a small theater, then here's your chance.
Don't think twice about watching if you’re a fan of movies with strong social and cultural commentary. If that’s not enough to entice you, Everything Everywhere All At Once and Triangle of Sadness were also recently nominated for a British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) on top of the its Golden Globe nominations.
Regular tickets are priced at P320.

'Triple treat of films' starting January 25
Everything Everywhere All At Once is sci-fi comedy that’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Frustrated laundromat Evelyn Wang gets into a multiverse adventure of a lifetime following her very mundane task of paying taxes. She is entrusted to save the world while juggling a relationship with her timid husband, her alienated daughter, and her scornful father-in-law. Empire called it “a radical film about radical love and radical acceptance.”
Triangle of Sadness is a satirical black comedy that will hit a chord with modern audiences. A celebrity model couple hops on board for a weekend gateway cruise with the super-rich, only for the ship to crash in the middle of the sea. The passengers are left with no choice but to fight for survival in a nearby island. You’ll quickly find that there’s a lot more to enjoy from this movie than just seeing Dolly de Leon on screen.
Nocebo is a psychological thriller rooted in Philippine folklore. When fashion designer Christine (Eva Green) is plagued by a mysterious illness, caregiver Diana (played by Chai Fonacier!) welcomes herself into the small family’s home to unravel—and eventually heal—what Christine has been repressing in the depths of her psyche. The Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF) called it “a bewitching allegory for our transnational times.”
Cinema '76 is at 2/F Terraces Building, Tomas Morato Cor. Sct. Borromeo, Quezon City. For more information, visit the Cinema '76 Facebook page.
