“Father! The sleeper has awakened!”

The Strange Brew Cult Movie night returns at their new home, the Arkadin Cinema & Bar, with a screening of David Lynch’s DUNE (1980) on Wednesday, September 1st at 8:00 pm (movie starts at sundown on the backlot Patio). The Arkadin is located at 5228 Gravois Ave, St Louis, MO 63116. The Strange Brew Cult Movie night takes place the first Wednesday of every month at Arkadin Cinema.

The year is 10,191, and four planets are embroiled in a secret plot to wrest control of the Spice Melange, the most precious substance in the universe and found only on the planet Arrakis. A feud between two powerful dynasties, House Atreides and House Harkonnen, is manipulated from afar by ruling powers that conspire to keep their grip on the spice. As the two families clash on Arrakis, Duke Atreides’ son Paul (Kyle MacLachlan, in his screen debut) finds himself at the center of an intergalactic war and an ancient prophecy that could change the galaxy forever. Though its initial reception ensured that Lynch largely eschewed mainstream filmmaking for the rest of his career, Dune has since been rightly re-evaluated as one of the most startlingly original and visionary science fiction films of the 1980s. Appreciate it anew Wednesday night at the Arkadin Cinema & Bar.
