Nickel Cinema finds a home and Screens A Certain Film

Normally I'd not bother posting too much about films screening at the cinema unless a season is on the horizon, a festival or something big.

But sometimes something small is something big. The previously nomadic The Nickel, purveyors of the finest trash cinema, have found a home in Magma, Clerkenwell in the city of Londinium. A small 37-seater. This is good news for sure but worthy of a news item here, perhaps not, even if they have screened many a recent Third Window release.

But!

As part of their first month of releases is a screening of one of the greatest genre movies of the 70s, the iconic Meiko Kaji in perhaps her most iconic role and iconic movie, even more silent as a Clint Eastwood man-with-no-name and an arthouse marvel to boot. Yes, I can only be referring to Female Prisoner 701 Scorpion: Jailhouse 41 (and for those pedants out there, yes, often this one in the series is referred to as "Convict" not "Prisoner").

If you've never seen it book one of those few seats now, because it's one of the most remarkable genre films you will ever likely see. And who knows, you may see me there in the audience, too...

Tickets and other films available on The Nickel's website.
