FILM SCHEDULE
THE YOUNG VICTORIA
“Emily Blunt makes Victoria as irresistible a young woman as Dame Judi Dench made her an older one in Mrs. Brown (1997).” Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times. Nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress, Emily Blunt portrays Queen Victoria in this dramatization of the turbulent first years of her rule, and her enduring romance with Prince Albert.
THE WHITE RIBBON
“If you’re a Haneke fan, and I count myself one, you know the filmmaker will give you much to consider and leave much unanswered.... Beautifully shot, as always, absolutely bone chilling in its execution-he has given us a bucolic village of the damned if there ever was one.” Betsy Sharkey, The Los Angeles Times. Winner of the Palm d’Or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film and the Critics Choice Award, this haunting and disturbing film, luminous in black and white, is truly unforgettable.
THE LAST STATION
“Under the accomplished direction of Michael Hoffman, who also wrote the script, The Last Station is well-acted across the board, but the film’s centerpiece is the spectacular back and forth between Christopher Plummer as the great man, a count as well as a writer, and Helen Mirren as Sofya, his wife of 48 years and always a force to be reckoned with. For those who enjoy actors who can play it up without ever overplaying their hands, The Last Station is the destination of choice.” Kenneth Turan, The Los Angeles Times. This historical drama illustrating Russian author Leo Tolstoy’s struggle to balance fame and wealth with his commitment to a life devoid of material things stars Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer who have both been nominated for Golden Globe Awards.
THE OSCAR NOMINATED SHORT FILMS 2009
This is your opportunity to see the nominees before the winners are announced on Sunday night!
A PROPHET
“Made with the filmmaker’s trademark emotional intensity and ability to elevate traditional genre material to exceptional heights, A Prophet was the most universally admired work of the Cannes Film Festival’s opening week.” Kenneth Turan, The Los Angeles Times. A young Arab man is sent to a French prison where he becomes a mafia kingpin in this critically acclaimed nominee for the 2009 Cannes Palm d’Or and the 2009 Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film.
FISH TANK
Director Andrea Arnold casts the same unflinching, unprejudiced gaze and touches on the themes of her Oscar-winning short Wasp to create an original and unsettling tale for our age. Fish Tank, winner of the Cannes 2009 Jury Prize, features a 15 year old whose life is turned upside down when her mum brings home a new boyfriend.
