The Roxie rules, am I right? Here’s the deal:
On the eve of the release of his eighth picture, THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL, the Roxie is proud to present a mostly complete retrospective of Wes Anderson. Melding influences like Charles Schutlz, Francois Truffaut, and the Kinks (to name but a few), Anderson’s meticulous, gorgeous and often melancholy menageries of sight and sound have deeply influenced a generation of moviegoers.
As an added bonus, Zissou Society Members (membership free with tickets to any of the other shows) get to see a special sneak preview of a very exciting new movie on Thursday, March 13…
Boom. Get tickets here.

Anyone know how this deal works? You just watch one of the other films for regular price and get a free ticket to see a sneak preview of the entire new Grand Budapest?
Sounds amazing. After Spoke Arts Wes Anderson love, and the Castro’s as well, this should be sweet.
Hey David – Yup, that’s exactly how it works. Attendees for the series get a ticket to see THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL on Thursday night, while seating lasts. The non-Wes movie we’re showing on Saturday with MOONRISE KINGDOM, RICH KIDS, is totally amazing and not available anywhere and the sort of secret-roots-of-Wes-Anderson (and Noah Baumbach, too). This is gonna be FUN! – Mike
No Rushmore? Damn, the one i haven’t seen in a theater.
Same (incredulous) reaction I had. No Bottlerocket either. Not much “retro” in a retrospective that doesn’t include a person’s early work.
(Saw the Roxie’s explanation for the absence of Rushmore below before hitting “submit”. Sounds like they tried and couldn’t get a print. Another example of the film industry and its circular firing squad. Too bad.
How do I get a pair of tickets for tonight’s showing of GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL?
Do I need to buy the WA series to qualify? And how do I do that? Can I do it online or over the phone?
My mistake; reading that the Grand Budapest Hotel was “opening March 7″ I made the fooling assumption it would open in San Francisco March 7…and therefore a sneak preview would be tonight.
But I guess SF waits an extra week for “opening night”?
Or maybe the opening is delayed everywhere?
The lack of RUSHMORE is heartbreaking and inside baseball-y, but I’m sure if you come to the screenings I won’t be able to help myself talk about it in the introductions. – Mike
I’ll drop in for Moonrise Kingdom. I hope you get a great response. Thanks for doing this.
ZOMG that’s awesome. thanks for clarifying the details Mike.
