Film Schedule
THE DUCHESS OF LANGEAIS
“Jacques Rivette’s The Duchess of Langeais seems to me a nearly impeccable work of art—beautiful, true, profound.” Manohla Dargis, The New York Times. Based on a novella by Honoré de Balzac, this film by New Wave master Rivette spins an intimate tale of lovers’ games taken to the extreme.
WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE YOUR FATHER?
Adapted from Blake Morrison’s memoir, this film stars Colin Firth and Jim Broadbent in a story of a son's conflicting memories of his dying father.
YOUNG AT HEART
“An irresistibly joyous, tearful, and, most importantly, musical doc about a band of senior pop singers whose repertoire includes Golden Years, Should I Stay or Should I Go, and Stayin' Alive.” John Anderson, Variety. As Stephen Walker's documentary begins, a New England senior citizens’ chorus led by their strict musical director is rehearsing their new show, struggling with a discordant Sonic Youth number and giving new meaning to James Brown's I Feel Good. What ultimately emerges is a funny and unexpectedly moving testament to friendship, creative inspiration, and reaching beyond expectations.
PG for some mild language and thematic elements; 109 minutes
BRICK LANE
Adapted from Monica Ali's debut novel, shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2003, Brick Lane follows the life of Nazneen, a Bangladeshi village girl who moves to London at age 17 for an arranged marriage to an older man.
THE WACKNESS
The 2008 Sundance audience stood up and cheered for this funny and moving offbeat tale of two kindred spirits stumbling towards maturity, starring Ben Kingsley as a pothead psychiatrist and Josh Peck as his teenage pot-dealing patient.
ROMAN DE GARE
“The air of mystery here is appealing, because the secrets behind it seem to matter both a great deal and not at all—rather like love, which has been Lelouch’s subject ever since he made A Man and a Woman.” Anthony Lane, The New Yorker. A popular novelist researches unlikely sources to find characters for her next bestseller in Claude Lelouch’s new mystery/thriller.
R for brief language and sexual references, 103 minutes; French with English subtitles
