During World War I, Scottish soldier Private Plumpick is sent on a mission to a village in the French countryside to disarm a bomb set by the retreating German army. Plumpick encounters a strange town occupied by the former residents of the local psychiatric hospital who escaped after the villagers deserted. Assuming roles like Bishop, Duke, barber, and circus ringmaster, they warmly accept the visitor as their King of Hearts. With his reconnaissance and bomb-defusing mission looming, Plumpick starts to prefer the acceptance of the insane locals over the insanity of the war raging outside. Since its debut, King of Hearts has become a worldwide cult favorite and stands out as one of de Broca’s most memorable films. Fifty years after its original release, this satirical look at the absurdities of war is presented in a gorgeous new 4K restoration for modern audiences to discover.

On Saturday, June 13, CinemaSFBay will be bringing Oscar-nominated writer-director Nicholas Meyer in person to the historic Vogue Theatre to discuss two of his greatest science fiction achievements: Time After Time and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, in a special double feature that also pairs two of the most iconic San Francisco movies of all time. We’ll begin with Meyer’s 1979 directorial debut Time After Time, in which the science fiction author H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) transports from 19th century England to 1970’s San Francisco in a charming fish out of water adventure to capture the illusive serial killer Jack the Ripper (David Warner) after he escapes their Victorian era with the time machine Wells invented. Following the film, Meyer will be on stage for a post-screening conversation with Western Neighborhoods Project moderated by Bay Area Movies founder Jason Moore to discuss his experiences making the movie on location throughout the city. From there we’ll move onto Meyer’s work helping to shape one of the most beloved films of the Star Trek series. After directing and co-writing the widely celebrated Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Meyer returned to the series, and the Bay Area, when he co-wrote the Leonard Nimoy directed 1986 sequel Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. In this installment, the brave crew of the USS Enterprise (starring the whole ensemble of the original Star Trek cast including Nimoy, William Shatner, George Takei, and Nichelle Nichols) must travel from their long distant utopia to contemporary 1980’s San Francisco to bring back a long extinct creature whose language is the only key to solving a world ending problem in their time. This 40th anniversary screening of the film will be followed by a discussion moderated by San Francisco Chronicle culture critic Peter Hartlaub where Meyer will reflect on his time working on the Star Trek series, and once again using the city to create a special gateway between the past and future. Time After Time (W/ Western Neighborhoods Project and Bay Area Movies) ~ 2:30 PM Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (W/ Peter Hartlaub of SF Chronicle) ~ 6:30 PM $25 per movie/$40 for the double feature
