For this Sunday Kino Night, first up is Inherit the Wind (1960), a fictionalized version of the Scopes Monkey Trial, in which a Tennessee teacher was indicted for teaching the theory of evolution to his students. A media circus follows as libs and chuds duke it out in the battleground of public opinion, in an allegory to McCarthyist witch hunts. Director is Stanley Kramer, who specialized in these kinds of morality plays, his best-known being Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967). Excellent reviews for this one, so let’s check it out.

Next is Estomago: A Gastronomic Story (2007), a Brazilian comedy about a penniless man who finds his life’s purpose in cooking and just keeps on making food to navigate social hierarchies, despite all the challenges in his way, including being thrown in prison. That won’t stop him, though, because he keeps cooking, even behind bars. Hilarity ensues. This is the best-known and best-regarded film of director Marcos Jorge, and one of the top-rated Brazilian films on Letterboxd.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
