Keeping the art in the arthouse and beyond
Your home for Houston-centric film and cultural arts programming
Coming Up Next
Wednesday, July 23rd - BADLANDS (1973)
Arthouse Houston presents the next in our current series, Wes & Rick’s Pix, at the River Oaks Theatre! Join us for a special screening of Terrence Malick's BADLANDS, chosen by Houston native and renowned director: Richard Linklater.
About BADLANDS: Inspired by real-life killers Charles Starkweather and Caril-Ann Fugate, this tale of crime and love begins in a dead-end town. Teenage girl Holly (Sissy Spacek) angers her father (Warren Oates) when she begins dating an older and rebellious boy (Martin Sheen). After a conflict between Holly and her father erupts in murder, the young lovers are forced to flee. In the ensuing crime spree, they journey through the Midwest to the Badlands of Montana, eluding authorities along the way.

One of the things in this world you genuinely and definitely cannot construct is an old building. Add to that: the rarity of an actual existing and operational movie palace. This one has a history literally like no other left in Houston.
