Set in the 1930s, the film explores the psychological roots of fascism as the main character, Marcello Clerici (Jean-Louis Trintignant), tries to expunge his artistic and homosexual inclinations by conforming to the brutally repressive mores of the times.

After a 45-Year Run, Laemmle to Leave the Music Hall.
With a wistful acknowledgement that all things must pass, Laemmle Theatres announces that Thursday, November 21, 2019 will be our last day screening movies at the Music Hall. We began operating the theater in 1974 and have shown literally thousands of movies from all over the planet. Bergman’s SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE was one of the first films we played there. LA CAGE AUX FOLLES and MY LIFE AS A DOG were hits at the Music Hall. One tiny highlight of countless funny highlights was Jason Schwartzman standing on the desk in the tiny office behind the box office in 1999 to autograph the RUSHMORE poster on the wall with “Rock on, Music Hall! Jason Schwartzman.”
Laemmle Theatres President Greg Laemmle said, “It has been my family’s privilege to operate the Music Hall for 45 years but it’s time to end our stewardship. For the sake of efficiency, we plan to use the other screens in our circuit to provide a platform for the types of films we’ve been showing in Beverly Hills.”
There is a distinct possibility of a renaissance, and movies and moviegoers will return to 9036 Wilshire Boulevard, but if it happens it will be after a hiatus and with different operators.

Thank you for years of great movies, at all your locations.
To the entire Laemmle family and staff, you have been my favorite movie theater since moving to Beverly Hills in 2004. My friends and I would meet there, enjoy the film and sometimes the QAs with film makers, and then go to Kate Mantilini’s, Chakra or Il Buco for dinner, drinks and lively conversation about the film we had just seen. All of these Beverly Hills institutions are now gone! We mourn the loss of this theater and all the art, passion and joy it brought us for so many years. Thank you for making our lives so much richer, interesting and beautiful. Emma
I am so sorry to see the Laemmle Theatres go. Greg, made a great contribution to society and the film industry by showing films that were of great artistic value but otherwise would have found no place to run. Thank you for all the years of good cinema, you will be sorely missed.
So Sad Greg. I wish this would help you to continue to operate other locations. There is no ways to imagine Los Angeles without LAEMMLE theatres!
So sad to see this theater go. It showed stuff I wouldn’t see in Pasadena or Glendale.
I am saddened by this news. I can understand that the Laemmle Theatres management and family are very preoccupied right now, but I do hope the “distinct possibility of a renaissance” eventually happens. There are more than a few people who would rather watch a film in a public space rather than streamed on a device!
I am very sad to see this theatre close. Laemmle Theatres have become my places to go and with the Music Hall (and Ahrya) closing, I feel like a part of “the family” is going away. I will miss the interesting and friendly employees greatly. Fare well and good to all.
