Description

This October, The Frida Cinema is proud to present Beautiful Monsters: A Guillermo del Toro Film Retrospective and Tribute Art Show, featuring all eleven of the Academy Award-winning director’s feature films; three acclaimed films he produced; and seven films that served to inspire him. The series continues at The Frida Cinema with J.A. Bayona's The Orphanage, a supernatural horror film from Spain. After 30 years, Laura García Rodríguez returns, with her husband and son, Carlos and Simón, to the orphanage where she grew up. Laura plans on converting the now-defunct orphanage to its former function. But the longer the family spends time in the building, the couple notices Simón’s behavior changing drastically. Then one night, he disappears. This project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
