Chinatown (1974)
Free Screening & Shabbat Dinner
Water. Political Corruption. Noir-ish City of Angels.
Sound familiar?
Chinatown, 2025.
Open Temple screens the film Chinatown. Like a Shiva to sit amongst others, sip tea and cake, popcorn and conversation around this provocative 1974 noir whose resonance seems to be upon us once again.
Friends are encouraged to come and dwell in the after-math together with Dark Humor and Insight.
No charge to attend. We’ll be encouraging donations to fire relief at the screening.
