Circle Cinema marks Jim Thompson’s 120th with ‘The Killing’ on Sunday
Oak Tree Books and Circle Cinema screen Kubrick’s The Killing on what would have been Oklahoma crime writer Jim Thompson’s 120th birthday — with a panel after.
Sunday night is for Oklahoma’s “Dimestore Dostoevsky.”
Oak Tree Books and Circle Cinema, with the Tulsa Artist Fellowship and the McFarlin Tower Guild, present “A Hell of a Man: Jim Thompson at 120” on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 7 p.m. at Circle Cinema, 10 S. Lewis Ave. The Circle Cinema event page and the Tulsa Flyer weekend roundup both put the night on Thompson’s would-be 120th birthday.
The program is a screening of Stanley Kubrick’s The Killing (1956), which Thompson co-wrote, followed by a panel with authors Megan Abbott, Lou Berney (a writer on FX’s The Lowdown), and Thompson biographer Robert Polito. Circle Cinema’s page also notes a lobby pop-up with books for sale — including Library of America’s Jim Thompson: Five Noir Novels of the 1950s & 60s and Polito’s Savage Art — plus free Criterion Collection Kubrick postcards while they last, and a gift-bag drawing.
Tickets, per Circle Cinema: $13 members / $15 non-members. Movies there typically start a few minutes after the listed showtime.
This is an arts tip from the theater calendar, not a Best Of pick. Confirm Circle Cinema before you head over.
