Magnolia // Summer of ’99 Series
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Welcome to the SUMMER OF ’99, before smartphones, social media, and streaming. Pre-doom scroll, bed rot, and AI ubiquity. 1999 wasn’t just another year—it was THE year. The one that redefined cinema. It was a launching pad for today’s biggest filmmakers, a breakout year for indie film, and a cultural turning point that echoes today. To celebrate, Tomorrow Theater is hosting a diabolical DOUBLE EXPOSURE of Eyes Wide Shut and Magnolia. It’s hard to BELIEVE these films came out in the same year, and nonetheless both feature some incredible performances by the one and only TOM CRUISE.
ON SCREEN: Magnolia
1999. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Runtime: 3hr 8min. Rated R.
On one random day in the San Fernando Valley, a dying father, a young wife, a male caretaker, a famous lost son, a police officer in love, a boy genius, an ex-boy genius, a game show host, and an estranged daughter will each become part of a dazzling multiplicity of plots, but one story. It stars an ensemble cast, including Jeremy Blackman, Tom Cruise, Melinda Dillon, Philip Baker Hall, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ricky Jay, William H. Macy, Alfred Molina, Julianne Moore, John C. Reilly, Jason Robards (in his final film role), and Melora Walters.
