What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? at O Cinema South Beach

Part of O Cinema’s Queer As Cult series, Robert Aldrich’s 1962 psychological horror What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? returns to the big screen in all its grotesque glory. Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, locked in a career-defining onscreen feud, deliver performances that helped birth the “hagsploitation” genre and cemented the film as a landmark in queer cinema. Set in a crumbling Hollywood mansion, the movie’s baroque and theatrical elements are still gripping more than 60 years later, making this the ultimate pre-Halloween screening. 7 p.m. at O Cinema South Beach, 1130 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-531-3456. Tickets cost $14 via o-cinema.org.
