This week, we are showing: Cradle Will Rock (1999)
As labor strikes break out throughout the country during the Great Depression, New York is alive with cultural revolution: Nelson Rockefeller (John Cusack) commissions Mexican artist Diego Rivera (Ruben Blades) to paint the lobby of Rockefeller Center, Italian propagandist Margherita Sarfatti (Susan Sarandon) sells Da Vincis to fund the Mussolini war effort, and Orson Welles (Angus Macfadyen) directs an infamous stage production of "The Cradle Will Rock," closed down on the eve of its opening by U.S. soldiers. Co-starring Vanessa Redgrave, Bill Murray, Joan Cusack, John Turturro, Hank Azaria, and Cherry Jones.
