A COMPLETE UNKNOWN
2025-04-26 13:30 - 15:30 | Kauai Community College Performing Arts Center, 3-1901 Kaumualii Hwy, Lihue, HI, 96766, United States
A Complete Unknown,” the biographical film about Bob Dylan, is nothing short of extraordinary. Beautifully crafted and executed, it transports you back in time, immersing you in the life, music, and story of one of the most influential artists of our time. The performances are simply exceptional. Timothée Chalamet, as Dylan, delivers a magnetic portrayal, capturing both the vulnerability and genius of the man. Not only him, but the entire cast-including Edward Norton and other pivotal characters-brings depth and nuance to their roles. Each actor seems perfectly chosen, breathing life into Dylan’s world and relationships. The music is the soul of this film, and it is masterfully performed. The songs are not just performed-they are interpreted with a heartfelt, raw beauty that resonates deeply. The renditions are authentic and emotionally stirring, blending seamlessly with the narrative. From “Blowin’ in the Wind” to “Like a Rolling Stone,” the music is a character of its own, weaving through the story with purpose and impact. The film’s structure is equally impressive, exploring not just Dylan’s music but also the historical and cultural shifts of his era. It’s as much a story of societal change as it is of Dylan’s artistic journey, showing how the two were intertwined. The attention to detail in recreating the time period-through costumes, settings, and the mood of each scene-is remarkable. Even though the runtime exceeds two hours, the film never feels slow or drawn out. The pacing is perfect, keeping you engaged from start to finish. Every scene adds layers to the story, and every performance and song feels essential.

BIG EASY QUEENS
2025-04-25 19:00 - 21:00 | Kauai Comunity College Performing Arts Center, Lihue, 96766
Set in the steamy, spooky underworld of New Orleans, Big Easy Queens is 80 minutes of pure queer horror with original musical numbers, voodoo, zombies, drag queens, and campy neo-giallo delight soaked in blood, gristle, and glitter, oh my. In this righteous “glam horror” extravaganza, Big Easy Queens follows Minnie Bouvèé, Mob Queen of the Quarter, and her rivalry with her arch-nemesis, Poodles Makenzie. After Minnie Bouvèé has Poodles Makenzie’s crew brutally slaughtered, she braces for the blowback; what she doesn’t expect, however, is to be stalked by a creepy masked figure who leaves behind bouquets of gardenias and terrifying notes. Is this Poodles’ revenge, or the work of Minnie’s estranged sister who stole her man years ago and has suddenly reappeared in her life?

This campy film sponsored by the KCC Prism Club. Feel free to dress appropriate to the film…be creative!
