A good film is life without the boring bits or any of Carrot Top's scenes. Savor a celluloid delight with today's Groupon to Facets Cinematheque. Choose between the following options:

  • For $14, you get a movie package for two (a $32 total value). The package includes:

    • Two tickets to any screening (an $18 value).
    • Two small sodas (a $6 value).
    • Two small popcorns (a $8 value).

  • For $14, you get an All-Access movie pass (a $29.99 value). The pass includes:

    • One month of free admission for the pass holder and one guest to all screenings
    • Unlimited rentals of up to four DVDs at a time
    • Discounts on Facets Film School reservations and DVD purchases
    • One personal movie consultation with a film expert

A nonprofit theater helmed by passionate cinephile Charles Coleman, Facets Cinematheque lights up its silver screen with indie films, award winners, foreign flicks, and documentaries collected from film festivals around the world. Celluloid-caretakers curate a collection of reels that seldom see screenings elsewhere in Chicago—frequently enjoying their city debut within the intimate 125-seat theater. Occasionally, production-team members or film experts join audiences immediately following the show for question and answer sessions known as Film Dialogues, taking questions, exploring themes, and providing tips for removing stubborn popcorn kernels from teeth. Upcoming films can be found on Facet's website and currently include After Fall, Winter, a disturbing tale that delves into the relationship between a dominatrix worker and a down-on-his-luck writer, opening February 27.

Eyeballs absorb moving pictures thanks to the dual capabilities of Facet's projection system, which handles both digital and 35mm films with equal aplomb. While the ephemeral stories fill brains with new ideas, two sodas and popcorns, acquirable at the old-fashioned concessions stand, fill mouths with flavors that have defined every classic movie-going experience since Orson Welles first invented the snack. Alternatively, All-Access movie pass holders extend their cinematic adventures with unlimited DVD rentals, deep discounts on DVD purchases and film school reservations, and a personal movie consultation with one of Facet's revered celluloid experts.

Reviews

  • It's real, unpretentious, and has the friendliest staff I have ever encountered in a movie theater.

  • I think it's fair to say that Facets is an important cultural institution for the city.
