Head over to Cinéma du Parc and catch three films by Andrei Tarkovsky as their Russian Masters series continues. 3575 Parc

Dinner and striptease, together at last. Montreal Burlesque Month invites you to the Lovers and Other Strangers burlesque show for some jazz-age entertainment. Upstairs Jazz Club (1254 Mackay), 7:30 p.m., $20
