点评:Landmark's Century Center Cinema is an interesting and quite historic venue to visit. The theater opened to public in 1925 as Diversey Theatre. Like many other similar establishments in the city, it was remodeled and renamed in 1930, becoming the Century Theatre. In 1973 the theatre was closed, and later rebuilt into the Century Shopping Center.
After the upper floors of the mall were converted into a new, seven-screen art house cinema in 2000, it started to be operated by The Landmark Theatres. What a history in the name. The theatre building was again renovated in 2015. The facade of the building looks so beautiful! And that attracted our attention, when we stopped at the cinema on N Clark Street in the Lake View neighborhood of Lincoln Park.
Nowadays, the theatre indoors is absolutely modern, the cinema has all-stadium seating, with premium recliner seats. What also distinguishes this cinema and makes it unique: it showcases independent and foreign language films. These days it is the films nominated for Oscars 2024, showtimes are perfectly displayed in the spacious ground floor of the center.
We didn't have time that day to see a film, but I am glad, that we had a chance to learn and see, how the history looks in modern times: just lovely.
翻译:地标建筑的世纪中心电影院是一个有趣且颇具历史意义的参观场所。该剧院于 1925 年作为 Diversey 剧院向公众开放。与该市许多其他类似的机构一样,它于 1930 年进行了改建并更名为世纪剧院。 1973年剧院关闭,后重建为世纪购物中心。
2000 年,商场的上层被改建为一座新的七屏艺术影院后,开始由地标剧院 (The Landmark Theatres) 运营。这个名字有多么悠久的历史啊。 2015年剧院大楼再次装修,建筑外立面看起来真漂亮!当我们停在林肯公园湖景区 N 克拉克街的电影院时,这引起了我们的注意。
如今,剧院的室内绝对是现代化的,电影院拥有全体育场座位,并配有高级躺椅。这家电影院的独特之处还在于:它放映独立电影和外语电影。如今,2024 年奥斯卡提名的影片,在中心宽敞的底层完美展示了放映时间。
那天我们没有时间看电影,但我很高兴,我们有机会学习和了解历史在现代的样子:非常可爱。
