Some films are watched. Others are experienced.

Sponsored by Susan Getze.

🎬 COME AND SEE (1985) is Elem Klimov’s devastating anti-war masterpiece, following a teenage boy who joins the Soviet resistance during the N**i occupation of Belarus and is thrust into the unimaginable horrors of war.

Visceral, haunting, and unforgettable, Come and See is widely regarded as one of the most powerful war films ever made—and one that demands to be seen on the big screen.

⚔️ A mystery unfolds behind the walls of a besieged fortress…

The Samurai and the Prisoner (2026) comes to The Colonial Theatre August 30! 🎬

Set in 1578 during Japan’s war-torn Sengoku period, Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s gripping historical mystery follows rebellious warlord Murashige Araki, whose fortress is under siege. When a series of inexplicable deaths rocks the stronghold, he turns to an unlikely investigator: Kanbei Kuroda, the brilliant strategist being held prisoner in his dungeon.

Part samurai drama, part locked-room mystery, the film blends murder, political intrigue, faith, and philosophical questions into an atmospheric puzzle from the acclaimed director of Cure and Pulse.

🎥 Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa
⏱️ 2h 27m | NR | Japan
