A Star Is Born
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Bradley Cooper
2018 / 136min / DCP
Cooper’s acclaimed directorial debut—the fourth imagining of this classic take on show-biz mentorship, backstage romance, and rising-and-declining fortunes that first came to the screen in 1937—is an impressive transposition of good old-fashioned Hollywood melodrama into a contemporary context, with Cooper in the role of middle-aged alcoholic country rocker Jackson Maine, and Lady Gaga as Ally, the aspiring singer-songwriter he first takes under his wing, then watches from the wings as his career founders and hers soars. A testament to the enduring appeal of natural on-screen chemistry, featuring finely tuned supporting turns from Sam Elliott, Andrew Dice Clay, and Dave Chappelle, and original tunes, including the earworm that is “Shallow,” performed by Cooper and Gaga.
Distributor: Warner Bros.
