If Phantom Thread left you wanting to see more beautiful dresses onscreen, New York theaters Alamo Drafthouse and Metrograph are here to feed your fashion-film hunger — and just in time for the start of fall 2018 shows.
Both Alamo and Metrograph have comprehensive fashion-film series kicking off this week. Starting January 11, you can see Phantom Thread in 70mm as part of Alamo’s “Fashion in Film” series — one of only seven theaters in the country with 70mm capability. Films ranging from Funny Face to Zoolander are scheduled to follow.
Metrograph will begin its “Visionary Form” film series with a screening of Six Sides of Katharine Hepburn, a new Made to Measure (M2M) documentary on the actress directed by Oscar Boyson, who will be present with his co-director, Nate DeYoung, on January 14. (M2M is a co-presenter of the film series.) This will precede a screening of Sylvia Scarlett, in which Hepburn plays a cross-dressing woman named Kate.
If you aren’t able to make it to either of these series, consider the list of films below a viewing guide for the next month.
