Marc Eliot’s Art of Film

“In its total recapturing of a past, in its plot, its vivid characterizations, its carefully calculated and accelerating pace, its whole demonstration of a medium mastered, Chinatown reminds you again that motion pictures are larger, not smaller than life.”
-Los Angeles Times

Part of a new cycle of Marc Eliot’s Art of Film, based on the American New Wave, Chinatown is a potent story based on the real history of California’s “water wars.” Guest curator of film Marc Eliot has recorded pre- and post- talks for a deeper dive into the film.
