discovery cinema: west side story (2021)

Steven Spielberg's 2021 film version of West Side Story plays as part of Remai Modern's Discovery Cinema Saturday matinee series. The story follows Tony and Maria as their romance ignites tension between the Jets and Sharks, two rival gangs competing for control of 1957 New York City streets. This two-hour-and-36-minute musical explores themes of friendship, prejudice, identity, and how music can inspire change. The film contains violence and coarse language, so it's recommended for ages 13 and up. Tickets are ten dollars, but members and anyone under 18 get in free. Just check in at the front desk when you arrive to pick up your admission token.
