Lost The Plot is Pune’s only rooftop cinema and lounge that screens classics, world cinema and independent films. The venue is open to night sky, the retro ambience is cosy and each person receives high quality wireless headphones for sound. We also have a delicious finger food menu and movie themed cocktails, served at your seat.

The venue is celebrating legendary director Stanley Kubrick’s birthday from August 27 to 28. Known for movies with risqué content such as Lolita and A Clockwork Orange, Kubrick has also directed movies in the sci-fi and horror genre that have become classics. For the celebrations, we have chosen three movies of Kubrick that we think represent his work the best: Paths of Glory, Full Metal Jacket and Lolita.

Movie schedule:

•Paths of Glory: Saturday, August 27, 7:15 PM

The story takes place in World War 1. A unit Commander in the French army faces mutiny from his unit while a General pushes him to mount an impossible and insane attack.

•Full Metal Jacket: Saturday, August 27, 9:30 PM

Hailed by critics as the best war movie ever made, the first half of the movie follows a group of Marine recruits in boot camp under the command of a brutal Gunnery Sergeant and second half comprises of one of the recruits covering the war as a correspondent. The movie explores dehumanizing effects of a war.

•Lolita: Sunday, August 28, 8:00 PM

Lolita – the tagline for which is, “How did they ever make a movie of Lolita?”. Based on a novel by Vladimir Nabokov (no. 6 on the list of “most disturbing books ever written” on Goodreads) Lolita is a story of Humbert Humbert, a middle-aged scholar who falls in love with 12 years old Lolita; a love that is reciprocated. This movie explores this extraordinary relationship as Humbert and Lolita drive around the US in a car.
