playing in a cinema

The Odyssey 2026 · Christopher Nolan
Nolan's Odyssey — the myth at full scale, in its original English, on nearly every screen in the city this week. The easiest ticket to get and the largest to sit under.
Milan 658 · Paris 282 · Rome 208 · Turin 83 · Florence 52 · Naples 46 · Bologna 24 — this week
The Devil Wears Prada 2 2026 · David Frankel
Streep back in the part, the sequel two decades late, in its original English. One showing this week — go early.
Milan 6 — this week
The Rocky Horror Picture Show 1975 · Jim Sharman
The midnight ritual in English, props and callbacks and all — 1975, and still the loudest room in Paris. Two showings.
Paris 2 — this week
Don't Come Knocking 2005 · Wim Wenders
Wim Wenders and Sam Shepard on an American road, 2005, English — the widescreen loneliness Wenders does better than anyone. Five chances.
Milan 5 — this week
Moana 2026 · Thomas Kail
Disney's ocean-voyaging musical in its original English — the version with the real songs, not a dub. Eight showings, the pick to bring a family to.
Paris 89 — this week

not screening this week

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes 1953 · Howard Hawks
Howard Hawks, 1953 — Monroe, the diamonds, the pink dress, in English. One screening this week.
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair 2011 · Quentin Tarantino
Tarantino's two volumes stitched back into the single four-hour film he first imagined — The Whole Bloody Affair, in English, and it screens almost nowhere. Two nights only.
The Chronology of Water 2025 · Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart's first film as a director — Lidia Yuknavitch's memoir, spoken in English. Three screenings, the kind that don't come round again.
