Next week! Plazadrome, @dearmoviesiloveyou , @himomatl present two nights with American auteur and independent film pioneer Alan Rudolph in person at @plazaatlanta . Like his mentor Robert Altman, Rudolph was one of the more prolific filmmakers of the late 20th century. Though many of his films have been nearly impossible to find for years, Rudoph’s exploration of humanity through his eccentric ensemble casts and exquisite eye for cinematography make him a filmmaker overdue for a big screen re-discovery.
Thursday April 10th, 8pm- rare 35mm presentation of this lost masterpiece REMEMBER MY NAME (1978) followed by a Q&A with Alan Rudolph
Saturday April 12th, 8pm- new 4k restoration of CHOOSE ME (1984) followed by a Q&A with Alan Rudolph

REMEMBER MY NAME
Recently released from prison, Emily (Geraldine Chaplin) embarks on an unsettling odyssey of obsession. Fixated on a construction worker (Anthony Perkins) and his wife (Berry Berenson), she begins to terrorize them day and night.
Combining Rudolph’s eccentric stylistic impulses with Geraldine Chaplin’s cagey performance, REMEMBER MY NAME is a hazy neo-noir and “one of the great films of the seventies” (The Film Stage). Produced by Rudolph’s friend and collaborator Robert Altman, the film translates Altman’s famous long zooms into Rudolph’s trademark form for the rest of his career: a singular blend of intimately realized emotions and postmodern distance.
CHOOSE ME
At Eve’s Lounge, a neon-lit dive bar, a recently released psychiatric patient (Keith Carradine) finds himself romantically entangled with a former sex worker turned club owner (Lesley Ann Warren) and a radio personality known as “Dr. Love” (Genevieve Bujold).
The height of Rudolph’s achievements as a stylist, CHOOSE ME presents a dream-like vision of a lonely city—following our lost characters to the smooth rhythms of Teddy Pendergrass and the seductive sounds of Genevieve Bujold’s talk show. In the deconstructed screwball world of this “masterpiece” (Jonathan Rosenbaum), Rudolph explores the complexity of human desire and finds a romanticism that’s as prevalent as cynicism and comedy that can make you cry.

Drake and I were fast friends. Seven years ago, we played a week-long church event together and by day two we were driving around on breaks to listen to music and share songs. A few months later, he was producing Beket’s first ep and a few months after that, he was our drummer. I’ve never played a full band Beket show without him.
I feel horrible, but also so grateful to know that we spent time together this past Saturday. He made me laugh, but not just at his jokes. When you’re in a band with someone as talented as Drake was, you find yourself hearing ideas that are so good that you can only laugh. You can’t believe someone came up with something that great right in front of you. He had done that many times before, but I’ll hold his last musical idea with me as long as I live.
Drake was my friend. He was the kind of person that made me happier every time he entered a room. My deepest condolences to his family and his wife Jenn. He loved you so much. He was an incredible person. I’ll miss him forever.
