The body's largest sex organ is the brain. Sinema Club stimulates yours with films that are explicitly erotic, homo-romantic, or gender-exploring -- and always thought-provoking. A rousing discussion follows; drinking is encouraged throughout, and mingling happens before, during and after: the bar lounge remains open for socializing, while the film plays in the main space. Plus: free popcorn from our vintage cart. Order in from the many restaurants around, and make it dinner and a movie.

This month's film: THE DREAMERS (2003) - Bernardo Bertolucci’s dizzying, provocative drama set in Paris during the tumultuous late 1960s. A naïve American abroad (Michael Pitt of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH) finds himself enthralled by a pair of cinephile twins (Eva Green, Louis Garrel) who invite him to stay over at their labyrinthine apartment. As the relationship between the three deepens, they create a world among themselves replete with erotic games and a detachment from reality itself. But how long can they keep the tumultuous events happening outside from breaking in?

Sinema Club is curated and hosted by Phil Guie-Ng (@thatphilguymovies): an inquisitive, ardent longtime film critic who is dying to tell you about movies you haven't heard of yet. As a reviewer at the website Film-Forward, his self-appointed mission was covering documentaries and features about subjects who challenged conventional attitudes about gender, masculinity, and more. When Phil isn't writing about movies, you can find him in Brooklyn taking part in protests on behalf of basic human rights.
