Nitehawk Cinema and Captain Lawrence Brewing Company Present…
FILM FEASTS: THE LIFE AQUATIC

Matt Zoller Seitz will be signing copies of his new book, The Wes Anderson Collection, in our downstairs bar from 5:30pm until the film starts!*

Steve Zissou and his team seek out a mythical shark to avenge the death of his partner.

Join team Steve Zissou with Nitehawk and Captain Lawrence Brewing Company’s Film Feasts presentation of THE LIFE AQUATIC. As always, the screening includes delicious beverage and food menu pairings related to the film. The best part? You’ll be served each course during the specific moments that inspired the film so you can experience edible sensations while watching the action unfold on-screen!

Co-written with Noah Baumbach, The Life Aquatic is Wes Anderson’s parody and homage to Jacques-Yves Cousteau. The film features the eccentric oceanographer Steve Zissou (Bill Murray) who sets out to get revenge on the mythical “Jaguarshark” that ate his partner Esteban…and he’s going to make a documentary about it. Along for the ride is Zissou’s crew of misfits including his estranged wife, a journalist, and maybe his son. So put on your red beanie to set out on the quirky underwater expedition that is much more than a shark hunt. It always is.
