LACMA’s silver screen plays host to four films this weekend, two nights worth of the Kubrick and Co film series. Friday night, beginning with Hour of the Wolf at 7:30 pm and The Shining at 9:10 pm in the Bing Theater, we journey into the minds of tortured artists. Add a touch of surrealism and, for good measure, a child with ESP and call it a night. For a glimpse into the madness, view the teaser trailer for Kubrick’s modern horror below. On Saturday night, beginning at 5 pm, two period films, Lola Montes and Barry Lyndon, recount tales of yore, both with masterful cinematography and intricate costumes. Tickets for Kubrick and Co. evenings are available over the phone, 323 857-6010, or online.
