We all know Elisabeth Moss can nail compelling, morally ambiguous characters like few others in the business, and Alex Ross Perry's 'Her Smell' allows her to feast and flaunt her abilities with squeamishly compelling delight. A whirlwind trip of self-destruction and (maybe) redemption, it charts the peaks and troughs of punk rock musician Becky Something,…
For our upcoming film screening, we will be showing Gaza Surf Club. The documentary follows the lives of several surfers from Gaza and it looks into how they navigate their lives and hobbies around and through the highly restricted social, legal and political situation they find themselves in. While at first glance this documentary on…
Come witness the very first non-pornographic move to show sexual intercourse and the female orgasm, on sexy old-fashioned film reels too! Directed by Gustav Machatý and starring the legendary Hedy Lamarr, Ecstasy tells the torrid tale of Eva, who leaves a loveless marriage to pursue a love affair with a virile young engineer. Ecstasy will…
It's only apt. Not that the late, great cinematic iconoclast Jean-Luc Godard ever made much of meal of propriety, mind. But given the recent passing of the shining beacon of the Frencn New Wave, we only thought it appropriate to regale you with a screening of one of his most joyous and beloved features. Have…
Nothing like a German Expressionist masterwork to kick off the spooky season... and on film, no less! Kixott is proud (and super, super happy) to present The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, on glorious film reels as god (once) intended, courtesy of our own in-house silent film collector Malcolm Demicoli. Come experience what Roger Ebert called…
Before he changed the world of blockbusters as we know it with Top Gun, Tony Scott made his blisteringly stylish and unashamedly sensual debut with this vampire love-triangle fantasia that wears its gothic bonafides firmly on its rigidly shoulder-padded sleeve. (I mean, Bauhaus themselves appear in the opening scene, with Peter Murphy bellowing out Bela…
We've taken you back in time to when horror first hit the screen, before making a glorious pit-stop at the decadent '80s with The Hunger. Now, we're showcasing the best at what Gen-Z horror has to offer with a bloodthirsty but hilarious (and oddly heartwarming) mashup whose original working title says it all: 'Freaky Friday…
Halloween's approaching, but few things are more horrific than Malta's endemic bookshop deficit. Kixott will seek to assuage that wound this Sunday, with a selection of newly-donated second hand books unleashed at great prices while you browse before or after your family lunch, romantic date, or solitary hike across the nearby landscape. Wherever you're coming…
Back when Kristen Stewart was still Twilight girl, French auteur Olivier Assayas snatched her up and made her a de facto muse, a collaboration that started with the beautiful, elliptical meditation on art and ageing -- 2014's Clouds of Sils Maria -- and which continues to this day (see: Stewart's cameo in Irma Vep 2022).…
Before the Wachowski siblings made The Matrix, they straight up gave the world an immersive and convincing queer neo-noir thriller which we thought was impossibly cooked up by two straight men (only for that assumption to be blown to smithereens). Total legends Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon slip snugly and sexily into familiar crime thriller…
The world is in a mess and all of our superheroes have been snatched up by CIA-loving, copaganda-enabling global corporations. What are we to do? One option would be: turn to Barbarella! After all, while a gratuitous zero-gravity striptease performed by the legendary Jane Fonda may not halt the nuclear apocalypse or imminent ecological collapse,…
Courtesy of its very own in-house film collector -- and all-round gent -- Malcolm Demicoli, Kixott is proud to present a bona fide classic of the silent era... on FILM, as the gods (once) intended! Buster Keaton's 1926 silent action-adventure-comedy The General is considered by many to be a shining jewel of the genre, overcoming…
