IndieWire
The definitive outlet for film and TV news, reviews, and industry analysis.

On June 18-20, the New Bev will screen “One Battle After Another” in 35mm, giving cinephiles an excuse to dive into Paul Thomas Anderson’s Oscar-winning epic once again and see how the grain and color of 35mm measure up against 70mm, VistaVision, and numerous digital formats.
It’s just part of a typically robust June calendar, which sees the New Beverly hosting a wide range of cinematic treats from beloved classics (“The Third Man,” “E.T.”) to crowd-pleasers (a Tom Cruise sci-fi double bill of “War of the Worlds” and “Edge of Tomorrow”), and more.
