Initially, a combination theater hall/movie house, the Cinéma L’Amour started out in 1914 under the name “Le Globe” and has since managed to survive as an independent theater. Located in the heart of Montreal’s Jewish community, “Le Globe” was the main venue for watching Yiddish films during the 1920’s and the 30’s. Renamed “The Hollywood” in 1932, the building maintained its reputation as an internationally renowned theater/movie house. As years passed and the social climate changed and evolved, the decision was made in 1969, to transform “The Hollywood” into “The PussyCat”, a cinema featuring strictly explicit, adult-themed movies. The theater is now, since July 1981, known under the name “Cinéma L’Amour“, and focuses exclusively on adult films. The cinema has the distinction of being the oldest movie hall of its kind in Montreal, yet the interior design remains virtually unchanged since its opening almost a century ago.
