Cine-Brunch at (Le) Poisson Rouge is a new take on the summer movie season - a free afternoon screening of art-house cinema classics. The inaugural run includes selections from auteurs such as Vittorio De Sica, Ingmar Bergman, Akira Kurosawa, Francois Truffaut, and others. Kicking off the series is The Bicycle Thief on 7/5. Blockbuster season leaves little room for films of substance to elbow into the billboards advertising superheroes, heists, explosions, and magic. But this summer join LPR for free screenings of French New Wave masterpieces, Neo-Realist tragedies, slapstick mysteries, and other films by the great auteurs of cinema history.
Cine-Brunch offers an alternative to the summer blockbuster: refined entertainment in a cool, comfortable environment where viewers can enjoy brunch or LPR's regular menu of tapas while taking in classic cinema and sipping a cocktail. And best of all, it's free!
Brunch specials - all $7 and under - include eggs any style, waffles and pancakes with fresh fruit or oatmeal with brown sugar. Cocktails start at $3, and Mimosas and Bloody Mary's can be had for $7.

UPCOMING CINE-BRUNCH SCREENINGS:
08.09 Jules & Jim
Jules and Jim
"More than 40 years old, François Truffaut's whirling dervish remains an ageless beauty." – Ed Gonzalez, The Village Voice
"Francois Truffaut’s third feature courses with joy – the joy of friendship, the joy of love and, perhaps most importantly of all, the joy of cinema... an absolute masterpiece." – Ian Freer, Empire
"Although a case can be made for Godard's Breathless, Jules and Jim was perhaps the most influential and arguably the best of those first astonishing films that broke with the past. There is joy in the filmmaking that feels fresh today and felt audacious at the time. [...] Jules and Jim is one of those rare films that knows how fast audiences can think, and how emotions contain their own explanations." – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"Jules and Jim is sad yet humorous, breathless yet contemplative, universal yet hermetic." – Chuck Rudolph, Slant Magazine
