(Museum of Moving Image, 35 Avenue at 37 Street, Astoria, NY, 11106)(4pm)
If you don't have HBO but were dying to catch Todd Haynes's miniseries adaptation of the James M. Cain novel (starring Kate Winslet as the matriarch made famous by Joan Crawford), you're in luck: Moving Image will be showing the entire thing (!), with one intermission. Screened with one intermission. With Kate Winslet, Evan Rachel Wood. *Costumes by Ann Roth. Haynes’s rich, psychologically complex HBO miniseries is an undeniably sumptuous cinematic experience that plays best on the big screen. Winslet won an Emmy for her wrenching work as the ultimate sacrificing mother, struggling to find a job after
a divorce and coping with a monstrously selfish daughter. A detailed portrait of the depression and a domestic epic, this version is more faithful to James M. Cain’s novel than Curtiz’s 1945 adaptation.
