From the organizer

BITTER CHRISTMASBITTER CHRISTMAS | R 1h 52m Join us at the historic Castro Theatre, for a festive holiday screening of Bitter Christmas, from acclaimed Spanish director and master of queer cinema, Pedro Almodóvar. Bitter Christmas tells two alternating stories, one starring Elsa, an advertising director, in 2004, during a long weekend in December. The second takes place in 2026 and stars Raúl, a screenwriter and director who is writing a script that we soon discover is the story of Elsa, her boyfriend Bonifacio, and her friends Patricia and Natalia. Mixed with fiction, Elsa is, in a way, Raúl's alter ego, who, like him, resorts to autofiction as a solution to a long period of creative drought. He looks inside himself, and he can't help but also look at the people who make up his most intimate universe: his partner and his assistant. Experience Almodovar's trademark storytelling where it is meant to be seen - San Francisco's premiere movie palace, The Castro Theatre! In Spanish with English subtitles.
